Overprotected kids become unprepared adults.

Dawn Staley nailed it.🔥

You can’t shelter your child from every hard moment and then expect them to handle adversity when it counts.

Hard is the lesson.

[Coach Jeff Barnes @JeffBarnes52]

Championship programs aren’t built by talent alone. They’re built by alignment. Coaches, players, parents, administration, support staff….everyone has a role, and when each group takes ownership of their part, things run smoothly. But when one piece slips, the pressure shifts somewhere else, and over time that strain shows up in performance, culture, and results.

Talked to a plugged-in HPU alumnus yesterday. She said within 24 hours of Wisconsin win, High Point had 19,000 requests for student tours.

19,000!

Matriculation will be limited largely by logistics/space. Crazy.

If your admin is not supportive, winning is much harder.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Tom Izzo shares an uncomfortable truth about earning your spot.

"You play real good, you start. You don't play as good, you work your way back in."

"That's the American way - except America has gotten soft."

You don't get what you want in life - you get what you earn.

It starts with showing up and earning it every single day.

No shortcuts...Just hard work.

“Administrations win championships. Coaches win games… if you’re not totally into it and they’re not committed, you’re not winning. You just can’t.”

True at the high school level as well…

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

“When you allow your children to grow up it’s a direct, direct reflection of your parenting. If you hover over them all the time and they can’t work through problems, they’re going to have some issues. You’ve got to let them work through problems because they’re working through the things you’ve instilled in them,” Dawn Staley

Let them learn.

I am not ashamed of my journey. My life will be a testimony.
But if I could offer a word of advice to any freshman, sophomore or junior athlete in high school it would be to just listen bro. All them adults in your life not just talking to talk. They been here longer. They done bumped they head already. They trying to save you from doing the same thing.

Do not make the mistake of thinking your talent alone is enough. It’s not. Talent open doors. Character and grades keep you there. And if you already messed up, if your GPA not where it should be, if your name been in rooms for the wrong reasons… don’t quit. Keep digging. You can climb out the hole the same way you dug it.

Class of 29, 28 and 27 hear me.

Take your grades serious.
Choose who you hang around wisely.
Protect your name. Word spreads fast if you a crash out.
Respect authority. Nobody riding for you like your parents and coaches.
Work hard when nobody clapping.
Do not wait until senior year to lock in. That GPA do not lie.
I’m still figuring it out myself. I’m struggling but I know God got me.

Be intentional.
Lock in early. Pray. Show up ready to work.

I’m learning the hard way that my future is being built in the small decisions I make today.

Start now.

In laying out a detailed timeline about the Luke Ferrelli situation, Dabo Swinney said Ferrelli's agent offered to provide documentation of Ole Miss tampering if Clemson added an extra year and an additional $1M to their agreed-upon deal.

Clemson GM Jordan Sorrells said no.
