Early in my coaching career I had a talented player who was chronically five minutes late to everything. Not egregiously late. Just five minutes, every single time. I let it slide because he was good and I didn’t want the conflict.

Within a month, half the team was showing up five minutes late. Nobody said a word. The standard just drifted.

That’s when it hit me. You’re either actively maintaining your standards or you’re passively lowering them. There’s no neutral position.

I’ve also learned that expectations and standards aren’t the same thing, and that distinction matters more than most people realize.

Expectations are the vision. The why. In my programs they’ve always been simple. Have fun. Create great experiences and relationships. Learn and grow. That’s the emotional foundation everything else gets built on.

Standards are the daily behaviors that actually get you there. Be on time. Be trustworthy. Have a growth mindset and work hard. Take responsibility for your actions. Encourage the people around you. Don’t make excuses.

When those are clear and consistent something interesting happens. The standard becomes the authority, not the coach. I don’t have to lecture anyone. I just point to what we all agreed on. The conversation stays about the behavior, not the person. That’s where real accountability lives without anyone feeling attacked.

What I’ve seen over 25 years is that the teams, families, and programs that define these things clearly and hold them consistently almost always outperform the ones with similar talent that don’t.

It’s not magic. It’s just clarity. People do better when they know exactly where the lines are. Kids especially. They don’t struggle in high standard environments. They struggle in ambiguous ones.

Whatever you walk past becomes your new standard. The good news is it works in both directions. Raise the bar and hold it, and the people around you will rise to meet it. Every time.

You don’t see husky kids anymore. They’re either obese, skinny fat, or wiry. This is related to the extinction of the athletic fat guy.

Reuters and Axios are now also reporting that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been eliminated by an Israeli strike this morning on Tehran.

Jack Hughes, winning goal scorer, with an absolutely perfect post game interview. “I love my country.” This is all we want from our national team athletes, just love the country as much as we do. Fantastic:

Choreography and stage setup was entertaining. I couldn’t understand anything he sang. Did I see Pedro Pascal on the stage? Accomplished the NFL’s ultimate goal of growing the game outside the U.S. Maybe a 7?

I love how the timing was so perfect. The National Anthem finished and then came the trailing B-1 with full afterburners and wings swept. Beautiful choreography! #SuperBowlLX 🎥 courtesy @957thegame

Cool, they played some of their more popular songs. Real edgy stuff

[Tanisha Long @Tanishaevonne]

Green Day started off their Super Bowl set with ‘Holiday’, a song criticizing war mongering and blind patriotism.

They then went straight to ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams’ and then ‘American Idiot’.
All of this will go over Trump and MAGA’s heads.

Horrific footage captured by a security camera in the Iranian capital of Tehran, which shows members of the Basij Force, a paramilitary volunteer militia within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), along with other plainclothes operatives, brutally attacking a woman with knives and batons during the recent crackdown on anti-regime protests in Iran.
