Every time a public school beats a private school in the state playoffs an angel gets its wings.

[Logan @Ljc_9]

A reason, among many, that the state needs to divide public/private school in athletics. Is the lack of school community and pride in much of the privates. This Byron Center and Mercy final is a clear example. BC with a huge student section. Mercy with not a single kid in theirs.

Tom Izzo said, "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, you get what you earn.

It starts with hard work.

Forget the #ProBowlGames    and the #NBAAllStar game. Combine the events and have each league do some of both against each other.
Dunk contest with NFL players
Flag football with NBA players
Punt/kick/pass and layup/FT/3 pt contest all in one???

Thoughts on John Cook retiring. Consistent excellence!

[Emily Ehman @emilyehman]

Dan Campbell is a walking quote machine.

On Hard Knocks, he said, “This last bit of losing has got to get outta here.”

Building culture is the #1 job of a coach, and Dan Campbell has changed the Lions' culture.

It was not easy. Here are 6 Ways He Did It...

1. ACCOUNTABILITY - “I told them, honestly, on Day 1, I said, ‘Look, I’m not carrying your toilet paper around. I’m not gonna wipe your butt. You’re gonna wipe your own butt. You handle it, and I’ll treat you like men until you prove otherwise.”

Campbell wanted to instill personal accountability into the culture. He used an interesting quote to do it!

2. LOSING - “This last bit of losing has got to get outta here.”

Losing is contagious. It is a mindset. Campbell used this quote to help them cleanse this mindset. Check out the link below for the video from Hard Knocks.

3. THE PROCESS - “There is no light at the end of the tunnel. There is no light. There’s a song Metallica has, ‘No Leaf Clover,’ and it says, ‘Man, when it comes to the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, it’s just a freight train coming your way.'"

There is no end. There is no light at the end of the tunnel. Culture never arrives. Campbell set the tone that this is an ongoing process. You never arrive. He has created the mindset needed to win long-term.

4. GRIT - "It's our core foundation, men. Grit. And what does it mean? Really, in a nutshell, I think it means this: we're going to go a little bit longer, we'll push a little harder, and we'll think a little deeper and a little sharper."

Campbell has created a culture of toughness and grit for his team. A mindset of 'no quit' and fight till the end.

5. MINDSET - “We’ll tread water as long as it takes to bury you.”

Campbell trying to instill a competitive and winning mindset. It takes what it takes. Competitors never quit. They find a way to win.

6. LUNACY - “I swear to God, I’m not a lunatic.”

Some of Campbell's quotes and thoughts are out there, but he is also realistic and driven. Sometimes, changing a culture takes a unique and more extreme approach, which has worked. Campbell has transformed a long-standing culture of losing in Detroit.

And remember, Culture is...

- What you Allow
- What you Emphasize
- Every Day!

Dan Campbell is building a winning culture each and every day.

DAN CAMPBELL ON TRUST

"To be able to do something that's greater than yourself, it takes everybody around you doing their job & doing it at a high level.

You gotta trust them. It's special, it's different...

It's camaraderie and to be the best of the best collectively."

Nothing like some @Pitt_VB vs. @LouisvilleVB and some @GMSvolleyball segments on basic stats to round out the first day of Thanksgiving break.

[Logan @Ljc_9]

It's sad to see what the @MHSAA has allowed to happen in D3/D4 volleyball.
Every single small town in the state is being priced out of competing in the state tournament by schools that charge $15,000+ a year.

This was the game of the year. Until the @NFHSNetwork broadcast ended with only a few points left.

[Drew Ellis @ellisdrew]

Northville wins it 18-16. Mercy fought off three match points but the Mustangs hang on to beat the defending champs. @MIPrepZone

A yellow card under 10 points in the first set was not in my bingo card for this IC vs. NB game.

North Branch gets their first EVER BWAC loss. Imlay city goes undefeated in league play.
The first chapter in a 3 part series with the league tournament and districts still looming.

[Logan @Ljc_9]

Regular season championship for the BWAC decided tonight between @MIVCAvolleyball #4 North Branch and #5 Imlay City tonight.
These 2 are going to see each other 3x this month with the first 2 deciding the league title and the final a probable district championship.
