@OFSAA Shoutout to the guy doing commentary at the women’s AAA basketball finals. Dude, you are entertaining. Well done!

[Mark K @MarRxK]

Shout out to the folks at the @ottawacity hazardous waste drop off at the Strandherd snow dump today. Very friendly and organized!

@slowlyslide I’ve literally handed my clipboard to a player to draw up a a play in a timeout because she was on the floor and saw a counter to the defence being played against us. Listening to and trusting your players is the essence of leadership. I see nothing wrong in this clip.

So can we finally put to rest this silly rookie-of-the-year debate in the #WNBA? It’s not even close.

What’s great message: Effort as gratitude for those who support you. Winning or losing does not define you - play for your own reasons not related to that outcome.

If you have a few moments to listen to this interview as a parent with your child.
Possible one of the best post race interviews I have ever watched #PlayOn

[Mark K @MarRxK]

Outstanding episode! So many details for coaches running conceptual offence, including some great nomenclature. More like this please! ⁦@BBallImmersion⁩ https://t.co/vKqThVILPK

Haters can hate but here’s the thing: This year my daughter, a competitive basketball player, knew EXACTLY when Sabrina vs. Steph was happening. First time we’ve EVER bothered to turn on the @NBA all-star weekend. Well done! #basketball

@JohnCarrier42 @CoachMurphHoops Need a review of both the book and the belly please …

[Mark K @MarRxK]

@coachMinor3 @BallisPsych @hoopdreamsbball @BMBBlifestyle @_CoachKB @CallMichele @JimPeteHoops @DevinRecord @Devin_Ugland The more pertinent question is why players are made to do these at all? There are better ways to condition and “motivate.”

[Mark K @MarRxK]

@briankight Being vulnerable: owning mistakes, shifting more control to players within our system, seeking feedback despite the risk for criticism. Still a work in progress.

[Mark K @MarRxK]

@WestOttawaBball @OttawaNextLevel An outstanding and very-deserving group of young women. I know @OttawaNextLevel will rectify the missing bronze medals in short order.

[Mark K @MarRxK]

@gregberge Always explain the “why.” Once players understand the end goal, they can find their own creative solutions to facilitate the desired outcome (beyond those that have been demonstrated).

.@WNBA Why not 🇨🇦?!

New owner, Cyril Leeder back.

IF they announce that Allie has a new role with the team …

Am … am I going to become an active #Sens fan again?!

THE CHAMPS IN MONTRÉAL 💪

For the sixth-time this season, 🇨🇦’s 3x3 Women’s National Team wins it all on the @FIBA3x3 Women’s Series, after a dominant win over USA U24 in the Montréal Stop Final!

As a coach, this gave me chills. What a great moment for the coach and players and moreover, for female sports.

[Ben Stevens @BenScottStevens]

John Cook has been the head volleyball coach at Nebraska for 23 years.

He has won 4 national titles, made 22 NCAA Regionals, and won 650+ matches.

Yet, he’s probably never done the Tunnel Walk.

And the smile on his face shows how special tonight is.

@JpNerbun @CoachNSanderson We teach the context of "competere." https://t.co/Zyb4uI43fu. We have winners and losers on the scoreboard in practice but each player has made themselves and their opponent better by competing. That is the prize for which they strive (together). It strikes a good balance.

Here we go! Let’s go ⁦@NBBA_BlueDevils⁩ 👏🏻👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
