@GovKathyHochul Looks like NYC DOE will have to resort to remote instruction since thousands of teachers commute using the LIRR...

WHAT PEOPLE SEE vs. WHAT PEOPLE DON'T SEE

People see our "successes" or "failures" but they don't always see the reasons behind those results!

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

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.

When talking to athletes and they ask “coach, do you really watch our livestreams?”

The answer is yes, 100%. Especially if you are high on our radar.

With that being said, make sure you are giving 100% in everything you do. You just never know.

A thread of the coolest things you didn't know about the 2024 Paris Olympics

1. Olympians who win a medal will take home a real piece of the Eiffel Tower. Fragments of iron that were removed & preserved during renovations to the Eiffel Tower during the 20th century have been infused into the medals. Each medal includes 18 grams (0.04 pounds) of the Eiffel iron.

Glow-in-the-dark baseball looks INCREDIBLE 😮

[Jen Steele @CoachJenSteele]

I’m happy I don’t sit in the stands during our games. Hearing parents rip apart coaching decisions is brutal. I promise they’re doing their best - they really want to win, too. Hard for athletes to trust their coaches if they hear negative rhetoric from the people they love most.

This is Layla. After six years being the bat dog for the Clearwater Threshers, she's officially retiring. At Friday night's game, the 13-year-old moseyed out to home plate to pick up her final bat. 14/10 happy retirement, Layla

Things that irk me as a coach: when I get an email/text saying, “it wasn’t my best day blah blah blah…”

How many times do we have to express that one play, or DAY, will NOT break your chances with us? Where’s the confidence? I NEED confident players! 🧐🥎

RESPONDING TO MISTAKES

"I'm letting the team down because I turned the ball over ... missed a shot ... blew a defensive assignment. No, you're letting the team down when it parlays into 4 or 5 possessions after that.

Pick yourself up ... You're playing a game that's imperfect."

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Want to be on a Great Team?

It all starts with you.

Be a Great Teammate.

What does that look like?

There are many things Great Teammates Do, but there are also many things that Great Teammates DON'T Do.

Here are Ten of them...

1. QUIT: Great teammates do not quit on their team. They stick together through thick and thin. They have a commitment to the team and each other.

2. BLAME: Great teammates do not blame others. They own it. They do not blame refs, coaches, or others. They take responsibility for what they can control.

3. COMPLAIN: Great teammates are not complainers. They come with solutions, are positive, and are proactive.

4. BRING DRAMA: Great teammates do not like drama. They do not bring drama because they know it can destroy a team.

5. POINT FINGERS: Great teammates do not point the finger at others. They own what they can control.

6. SHOW UP LATE: Great teammates respect their teammates' time. They show up every day, and they are on time.

7. MAKE EXCUSES: Great teammates are not excuse-makers. They own their decisions and their actions. They accept the outcome and are driven to get better.

8. MAKE POOR CHOICES: Great teammates lead by example. They make good decisions and choices. They influence others with their leadership.

9. RUN FROM A CHALLENGE: Great teammates attack challenges head-on. They thrive on competition and bring out the best in their teammates.

10. BADMOUTH TEAMMATES: Great teammates do not talk badly of their teammates. They understand the concept of a team and respect all players on the team.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Who you hang with matters.

And science proves it.

Hang with people who...

- Show love
- Are humble
- Show empathy
- Make you better
- Are positive energy givers
- Are happy about your successes
- Are people you can always count on

Hang with people you can trust.

[Jamy Bechler @jamybechler]

You can't become a true team until you care about your teammates more than you care about yourself.
