Our expectations have changed so much and we continue to say that the next generation won’t be prepared.

The standard is the standard.

Students rise to the standard.

Adults, you’re ridiculously in charge of the standard you set.

[Principal Jon @Principal_Jon]

In high school I was asked to read:

The Great Gatsby
Of Mice and Men
Grapes of Wrath

My daughter's high school asked her to read:
Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Have we stopped believing kids can do hard things?

[Josh Moses @JoshMMoses]

Can I be the Hornets GM now?

[Zac Hill @zdch]

The whole 82-0 phenomenon reinforces that whole bit about how the only thing a bunch of dudes need in order to have a good time is to sit around announcing the names of a bunch of old athletes.

[Chris Adams @ctadams_3]

Congratulations to the Class of 2026!! 🎓 They entered high school 4 years ago with a brand new Principal trying to keep his head above water. They made my job easier & they have represented the South Davidson community very well along the way! Continue to Elevate & Go Wildcats!!

A week ago, I looked at photos from the track championship meets and saw lots of athletes celebrating in the way that got Mallard Creek DQ'd and could cost the Mavericks a state title.

Here's another photo sent to me today of a celebration by a distance runner before the finish line. You can see the judge watching (in the circle).

God has given you what you need to live out the calling He’s placed on your life.

You have to step into it.

No excuses. No comparisons.
No waiting to become someone else.

God wants to use you, right where you are, with what you already have to make a difference. Right now.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

This is ridiculous.

And track and field gives their officials too much power.

Imagine if an NFL or NBA ref could negate all points scored in the last 10 minutes of play off a single infraction. That's essentially what we do in track.

There are no minor penalties. It's dumb.

[Josh Moses @JoshMMoses]

God knows you’re human. He calls us to holiness and extends grace and he knows you’re human.

Do you?

[Josh Moses @JoshMMoses]

Simple life principle that I try to reflect on daily:

How can I make someone else’s day better? Where can I bring value & more meaning to their day?

Life is short.
Interactions matter.
Intentionality matters.

If I’m the center of my world, that is a small & shallow life.

“I hate running, it’s so hard”

That means you’re doing it wrong.

Most runs should feel closer to a brisk walk. Easy, relaxed, not sweating your pace. It doesn’t matter. You finish feeling good, ready to go again tomorrow.

Occasionally run very fast, very short.

But most of the time? Just take it easy and rack up time on your feet.

Do that consistently, and something clicks. The pace that once felt hard starts to feel easy.

You have to trust that slow running and even walking works.

Being exhausted all the time isn’t how you improve. Feeling good after your run is.

Embrace that mindset. You’ll get faster, and want to run more and more. Just watch.

[Jake Marsh @JakeMarsh18]

I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say that this is one of the greatest broadcast opens in the history of sports television.

What a perfect 75 seconds. The pictures. The music. The voice of Jim Nantz.

Absolute chills.

[Dan Go @CoachDanGo]

If you want to see a persons true colours just look at how they treat service staff.

[Steve Collins @TeachHoopsBBall]

The number of girls playing high school basketball is a crisis no one is talking about.
Programs are drying up. Teams can barely fill their rosters.
We can't grow this game if we can't get kids to believe it's worth their time.
What are programs doing to fix this?

[Josh Moses @JoshMMoses]

If we live by people’s praise and affirmation, we will be undone by their rejection.

[Coach Dan Mullins @CoachMullinsPhD]

Absolute WORST feeling in the world for any coach.

Me: hey (athlete) how far is mom/dad?
Athlete: I don’t know.
Me: …umm what do you mean you don’t know?…
Athlete: blank stare

[David Abbott @runliftrunlift]

The more you treat every run in training like a race, the slower you end up racing.

It seems counterintuitive until you get it, then it clicks.

Train mostly slow, then you race fast.
