Psalms 139:15-16

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

Teachers, if someone tells you how “lucky” you are to have summers off, remind them they don’t have to be jealous.

America is currently short more than 400,000 teachers.

They can become a teacher too.

Joe Maddon used a phrase with his teams that rivals "Just Do It."

It’s simple.

Almost too simple, but that’s what makes it powerful.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Overprotected kids become unprepared adults.

Dawn Staley nailed it.🔥

You can’t shelter your child from every hard moment and then expect them to handle adversity when it counts.

Hard is the lesson.

What’s one hard lesson sports taught you that helped later in life? 👇

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

You never get to control what happens to you in life.
But, you can always control how you respond.

Your response-ability is your responsibility.

Little excitement at the end of our block..... watch to the end.

Every Spurs player reads the same story before stepping on the court.

They've been doing it for 25 years.

It's not about basketball.

It's about a guy who won't stop hitting a rock.

Geno Auriemma has won 12 national championships at UConn.

UConn is currently 38-0, trying to win their 13th.

When Geno is recruiting, certain things instantly disqualify a recruit - no matter how talented.

Here's what they are and what he looks for:

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.

@BrendaHowardMus @HicklandHillary Arizona Brenda showing up again. Why are we FOLLOWING other states? Texans have always been independent. I guess it is migrants from other states like Brenda and @DanPatrick that come in and blow up education instead of tweaking it to make it better for all.

"Great players are made in the offseason. It's not about the games; it's about the work you put in when no one is watching."

Sean McVay said, "We attack success. We don't fear failure."

There will always be challenges.
There will always be setbacks.

But when you're afraid to fail, you paralyze yourself.

You're not playing to win, you're playing not to lose.

When you worry about failure, you hold yourself back more than the failure itself ever could.
