And there it is. Skyline's Shay Shippen with a driving layup and subsequent foul shot for 10 points in the half. She unofficially becomes the state's all-time leading scorer with 2,283 points. Blackfoot however leads 25-20. #IDPreps

I really have lots of respect and appreciation for JuJu Watkins. She makes me a better coach and she helps grow our great game. Can’t wait to have her back on the hardwood. #respect #GrowOurGame

Elon Musk said five words on Joe Rogan that explain everything wrong with your life right now.

Musk: “Happiness is reality minus expectations.”

Five words.

And it explains why the most comfortable generation in human history can’t stop feeling empty.

Musk: “If you just go try living in the woods by yourself for a while, you’ll learn that civilization is quite great.”

He’s right.

On Naked and Afraid, people tap out in days. Sometimes hours. They crawl back to the same civilization they spent years resenting.

Because comfort is invisible until you’re sleeping in the dirt.

But the formula has a second variable.

It’s the one destroying you.

Reality didn’t get worse. By every measure, it’s the best it’s ever been.

Expectations did.

Your grandparents compared themselves to their neighbor. Maybe a cousin. That was the whole universe.

You compare yourself to 10,000 strangers before your first cup of coffee. Curated. Filtered. Showing you a life that doesn’t exist.

Theodore Roosevelt said it a century before any of this was built.

Roosevelt: “Comparison is the thief of joy.”

No Instagram. No TikTok. No algorithm designed by the smartest engineers on the planet to show you precisely what you don’t have.

And he still called it.

Now run the equation.

Reality holds steady. Expectations spike every time you unlock your phone. The distance between them stretches. And happiness doesn’t fade.

It collapses.

Not because your life got worse.

Because your reference point moved.

We built the greatest civilization in human history.

Then we built the perfect machine to make sure nobody enjoys it.

Every scroll. Every notification. Every “suggested for you.” None of it connects you. It’s recalibrating what you think you need. Upward. Constantly. Without your consent.

And you wonder why you feel behind.

You’re not behind.

You’re running toward a finish line that moves every time you look up.

The most dangerous lie of this generation isn’t that life is hard.

It’s that everyone else figured it out. And you’re the only one who didn’t.

Nobody figured it out.

The formula doesn’t negotiate. It just runs.

Raise expectations faster than reality improves and you will be miserable inside a paradise you built with your own hands.

That’s not philosophy.

That’s arithmetic.

And the calculator is in your pocket right now.

Hoy una industria entera dejó de tener sentido.

Meta soltó SAM3 abierto en GitHub. Le dices "el jugador de blanco" y lo sigue solo en un caos NBA, dibujando la jugada táctica encima.

El scouting manual pasó a ser un hobby.

VICTOR WEMBANYAMA FROM THE LOGO FOR THE TIE

THIS GAME IS UNBELIEVABLE

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[Cameron Andersen @Coach_CAndersen]

Amazing to have one of our favorite coaches @CoachJoeLorig from @oregonfootball at practice today locked in on one of our @Burley_Football players! The home of our very own @BairGatlin! Pipeline? 😉 #idpreps

[Marsha Frese @CoachFrese]

Saw so many great players with diverse skill sets this past weekend. But the #1 thing that kept popping into my head while evaluating was this. How do you impact winning? That skill alone is different for every single player being evaluated. Be the best version of YOU!

Mental toughness is not the absence of doubt. It is the ability to recover from doubt quickly. 🎾

Fear, worry, and anxiety are part of being human. Even @DjokerNole and all of the best performers in the world experience them.

The difference is not that they avoid negative thoughts, but that they have trained themselves to return to the mindset that serves them and their mission.

Mental toughness is a skill. Like any skill, it improves with repetition.

You cannot control which thoughts enter your mind, but you can train how quickly you return to what matters.

The goal is not to never get knocked off course.

The goal is to shorten the time it takes to get back on track.

Today we announced a 60,000 SF sports performance center with Intermountain Health at the SEG sports campus right next to the @utahmammoth and @utahjazz practice facilities.

It’s a game changer. The first-of-its-kind campus will create a competitive advantage unlike anything in professional sports.

I'm convinced @DukeWBB Coach Kara Lawson is one of the best leaders in sports. This clip on urgency, growth not being linear, and the idea that there is no finish line is superb:

🥱 Need It > Want It. The people who win aren’t always the most gifted, they’re the ones who refuse to look away from what’s required RIGHT NOW. They stay present with the hard, the boring, and the uncomfortable, and they attack anyway. Wanting shows up when it’s convenient; needing shows up when it costs you something.

📈📉 Growth isn’t a straight line. There will be peaks that tempt your ego and valleys that test your belief. Real leadership is keeping your urgency and sharpness intact through all of it. Trusting that consistency is what will carry you through. Don't let your own impatience with stagnancy take your spirit.

🏁 There is no finish line where you finally get to coast, only new levels that ask more of you. Better is a direction, not a destination. The “ceiling” you feel is often just an imaginary story you’ve told yourself about what’s possible. Growth asks for the endurance to keep going and the humility to treat every day, every season, every year as another chance to get better.

Bring urgency to the way you show up every day. Don't ever give up on your own growth. 🌱

We work on this all summer! If you know the rule book you know what’s legal and what isn’t!

Every training camp I had at Washington State University, Coach Leach would share the same story.
The story of two kids. The rich kid and the poor kid.

The rich kid has two choices. He can become spoiled, entitled, lazy, and expect everything to be handed to him because he has been given more. Or he can take every advantage of what he has been given—resources, coaching, opportunities—and use it to become even better.

The poor kid has two choices too. He can say, “I never had a chance. Nobody gave me anything. The world is against me.” He can feel sorry for himself and use it as an excuse. Or he can say, “I may not have what they have, but I am going to outwork everybody.” He can become tougher, more driven, and more relentless than everybody else.

It was a powerful message in a locker room full of people from different backgrounds, different families, and different life experiences. Some guys came from wealth. Some came from almost nothing. Some had every opportunity. Others had to fight for every inch.

But despite all of those differences, everybody still had the same choice.

You can take ownership and use what you have as fuel.

Or you can become victim-minded. You can look for excuses, blame your circumstances, become entitled, and convince yourself that because of what you have—or because of what you do not have—you cannot become what you want to be.

It is not about how you start. It is about what you choose to do with how you start.

The rich kid can waste what he has been given or use it to build something greater. The poor kid can use his circumstances as an excuse or as fuel.

In the end, greatness does not come from starting with more or less. It comes from which person inside of you that you choose to feed.
