I build stuff and teach math. Saw dust is man glitter. Splinters suck. Smile, laugh, do some math. Opinions are my own.

JJ Redick shares the words from Coach K that changed the trajectory of his career.

After a Final Four run, Coach K sat him down and told him the truth nobody else would: "We didn't win a national championship because you weren't worthy of being a champion."

"That's one of the worst things and best things that's ever been said to me. I mean that cut me deep."

Most players would've made excuses or ignored the feedback. But he took ownership and made it his mantra.

"For the rest of my career, that was sort of my goal. I can't let a coach ever tell me that I'm not worthy to win. That I'm not worthy of being a champion."

He brought a mindset of excellence to everything he did.

"I didn't win a national championship. I didn't win an NBA championship. But I know what I put into it. I was worthy. It just didn't happen for me."

The outcome didn't happen, but the worthiness did.

You can't control results.
You can only control whether you earn the right to expect them.

Be worthy - every single day.

Billy Donovan shares a lesson that changed how his players thought about winning.

At Florida, he had a manager track how long the ball was in each player's hands during a game.

He asked one of his starters: "How many minutes do you think you had the ball in your hands for the game?"

The player said 15 minutes when he had played 30.

The real numbers?
"A backcourt player, for the most part, is probably 92% of the game gonna be played without the ball in their hands. A frontcourt player - 95% of their minutes is gonna be played without the ball in their hands."

Think about that. You're playing without the ball almost the entire game.

"It's amazing to me how many players focus on points, points, points. That's what goes on ESPN. That's what gets the highlights."

"But if you're gonna strictly talk about winning and you're really driven and motivated by winning and competing and being a good teammate, you have to look at the fact is -- what am I doing with my 92, 93, 94, 95%?"

"Am I screening? Am I running the floor? Am I on the floor for loose basketballs? Am I rebounding? Am I taking a charge?"

"There's so many ways to impact the game with the amount of time you're on the floor when the ball's not in your hands."

This is what separates good players from winning players.
You control how you show up.
You control your attitude.
You control your effort.

Great teammates master what they do when no one's watching - and when the ball isn't in their hands.

Winning isn't about the glamour. It's about the 95%.

Tom Brady on feeling the PAIN of LOSSES:

absolutely loved how Brady shared his experience here 🔥

“I always felt like you should sit with that pain. The flight home should be painful. It should be disappointing. You shouldn’t try to escape it. You shouldn’t make excuses for it. You need to feel it… and then you need to have some actionable items to GO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

I think naturally the human nature part about all of us is to say ‘oh it’s just one game or one season’ and make excuses. And then when you live in those excuses, you don’t live in the solutions. And those solutions are to get back to work, let’s care more, have more discipline & better practice habits.”

So apparently, Sweden went all-in on tablets in the classroom--then saw 4th-grade reading scores tank. Now they're spending €60M to bring back real books, because screens weren't helping. And here in the U.S., only 30% of 8th graders read at grade level, with writing scores just as bleak. If one of the most tech-savvy nations is pulling the plug, maybe America should start asking if screen time is quietly dumbing down a whole generation.

Not every struggle is a disorder.

Not every kid needs a label.

Often, the best intervention is a stable adult who doesn’t pathologize the ordinary.

[James A. Furey @JamesAFurey]

You can’t wire a kid’s brain for instant stimulation, then expect them to read closely or follow complex ideas.

They need to be taught how to think. They need less screen time, not more.

Schools should be the antidote to distraction, not the source.

[David Didau @DavidDidau]

“It’s all about relationships” sounds lovely, until you realise it means some kids only behave for teachers they like.
We don’t let drivers ignore speed limits just because they don’t feel a connection with the police.
Schools need systems, not charm.
