@SaraHackbarth Congratulations!!! You will rock this!

@MikeCunningham @AltamontXCTF We do non-verbal. Still have a take-off mark but then it is 4 strides and hand up. Also have a word if the take-off was too early. In everything other than 4x1 - if you don’t have the baton in 4 then the hand-off becomes open.

If you’re a coach at any level & don’t carry a copy of your sport’s rulebook specific to your level (NCAA, NFHS, etc), you’re not doing your job.
When officials don’t know rules you have to show them in real time, especially HS track where a teacher is volunteered to officiate.

Geno Auriemma shares how he explains success to his players and why showing up isn't enough.

"If you go to class and you do average work, you're gonna get a C. That's why it's called average."

"If you want a B, you have to do more work. If you want an A, you have to do even more work and you have to give up stuff."

You get what you earn in life.

"You have to sacrifice. Maybe you can't do all the things that everybody else does."

It means if you want more then you have to be willing to do more.

"If you're just happy getting Bs all your life, there's nothing wrong with that either. But you're never gonna get the satisfaction of what it feels like to get an A."

Then he connected it to basketball:
"If you just wanna be average, then you do average work. If you wanna be a little bit above average then you do a little more work."

"If you wanna get As in basketball, then you gotta do stuff that other people aren't willing to do - especially if you have the talent like we do. We have talent."

It means bring a mindset of excellence to everything that you do. Excellence isn't the goal - it's the standard you set.

Then he called out the entitlement problem:
"Some of these younger guys coming out of high school, man, they wanna show up and go, 'I'm here. Where's my 3.7?'"

"Like my father used to say, 'I got your 3.7 right here.'"

Showing up doesn't earn you anything. Doing the work does.

You get the grade you earn - in school, in basketball, and in life.

It's easy to be average...successful people look to compete in everything they do.

@ronsterd89 Totally agree. And they are rude. I’ve had them reach over my cart, move my cart, and never once say excuse me or ask me if they can get through. Drives me crazy!

@cmolewis7 Here’s to a speedy and full recovery!!

[IHSADA @IOWAHSADA]

“Duties as assigned” in action.

Williamsburg AD Nathan King stepped in to direct the pep band at the State Basketball Tourney when their director wasn’t available, making sure students still had the chance to perform and support their team.

That’s going above and beyond 4 kids.

Happy First Day of Track Practice everyone!!

[Becky Becker @RLBecker41]

@SaraHackbarth I told everyone to enjoy the nice weather because on February 23 it would no longer be nice. When they asked why I thought that, I said I KNEW that because it was the 1st day of track practice…😂😂

[Becky Becker @RLBecker41]

@MrDanielBuck It goes beyond MS/HS classrooms. I watched a young lady show up for an interview for a HS position in a mid-top (but only a little stomach was showing) boyfriend jeans and tennis shoes. I honestly just can’t.

[KCRG Sports @KCRG_Sports]

When the CR Jefferson boys basketball team walks into school wearing their matching powdered blue suits on game day, they’re sending a message. It’s not just about looking sharp—it’s about changing a narrative.

ALL HS COACHES IN IOWA:
You need to see this.
I am sharing this just because I think everyone should be informed. I am not for or against.
