Only in America do we treat education like a business and students like inventory to be tracked, tested, and shipped out.

Pat Summitt said, “We keep score in life because it matters. It counts. It matters. Too many people opt out and never discover their own abilities because they fear failure. They don't understand commitment."

Life is about competition.

We compete against ourselves.

Every Day.

My biggest pet peeve as a coach?

The VICTIM Mindset.

It sets kids up for a life of mediocrity.

Don’t let this happen.

Here are 5 ways it forms.

1. The Blame Game - Did you lose a game? Why did you lose? It is always easier to point the finger. What do victims do?

- Blame your teammate.
- Blame the coach.
- Blame the refs.
- Blame anyone.

Don’t be a victim.

2. Excuse Makers - Do you take responsibility for your actions or make excuses for your inaction?

- They got lucky.
- I don’t have time.
- They were born with it.

Don’t be an excuse-maker. OWN it. Learn from it. Accept responsibility.

3. Live in Fear - Are you afraid to make mistakes? Are you afraid to take risks? Do you fear failure? The most successful people do not believe in failure. They believe in learning, and they believe in growing. Your mindset matters.

4. Comparison is the thief of Joy - When you constantly compare yourself to others and do not accept your strengths and weaknesses, you present yourself as a victim. You will never be able to win the comparison game. It is a dangerous place to go.

5. Lack of Ownership - Athletes with a victim mindset often fail to take ownership of their training, preparation, and performance. They have a fixed mindset. They perceive themselves as powerless and at the mercy of external circumstances.

One ginormous reason I love my job 💜

We've always had SEL in schools. It was called recess, play, & classes like Music, Art, Physical Education. But they have been reduced or removed to spend more time on testing, & then we wonder why students lack social/ emotional skills & misbehavior that comes with lack of it.
