@DHLGlobal your customer service is absolutely horrific. Your lack of customer support and getting to a real person is beyond disappointing. We need to speak with a real human please
🚨CRITICAL HEAT WARNING FOR YOUTH ATHLETES THIS WEEK:
If you have a child playing outdoor sports this week, please read this. The heat isn't just uncomfortable; it is reaching dangerous levels during peak heating of the day, according to the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) index.
What is the WBGT?
Unlike standard weather apps that only show ambient air temperature, the WBGT measures the actual heat stress on the human body. It provides a much more accurate warning system by calculating:
10% Air Temperature: What your favorite weather app shows.
70% Natural Wet Bulb Temperature: Simulates the cooling effect of sweat. Dewpoint bascially.
20% Black Globe Temperature: Simulates how hot it feels in direct sunlight. By factoring in temperature, humidity, wind speed, and sunlight, it gives us a true picture of the danger our kids face on the field.
This Week's Extreme Forecast:
Based on the WBGT forecast, we are looking at severe heat stress levels every afternoon this week:
Monday: Hitting the "High" (Red) category.
Tuesday - Friday: Spiking well into the "Extreme" (Black) category during peak afternoon hours.
What This Means for Practices:
The North Carolina High School Athletics Association (NCHSAA) has strict, mandatory guidelines for these temperatures:
When WBGT is 88-89.9 (High/Red Flag - Expected Monday): All athletes must be under constant observation and supervision. Pads and equipment must be removed, and a 5-minute rest/water break must be scheduled every 15 minutes. A cold or ice immersion pool must also be on site for practice.
When WBGT is over 90 (Extreme/Black Flag - Expected Tues-Fri afternoons): SUSPEND PRACTICE.
Coaches and parents: Please ensure your programs are actively monitoring the WBGT on-site and strictly following these NCHSAA guidelines. No practice, drill, or game is worth risking a severe heat-related illness. Stay safe, stay hydrated, and let's advocate for our athletes this week! #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #wcnc #wxbrad
@JoshuaOrtegon Without truth, you're not solving the actual problem. You're solving a story about the problem.
And that's where leaders get into trouble. They don't have a strategy issue. They have a reality issue.
@JoshuaOrtegon Love the intent behind this big dog! But I'd probably challenge the wording.
The truth is not a strategy, the truth is a starting point.
Strategy is what you do with the truth. 👊🏼
@JoshuaOrtegon That said, in complex situations, truth often feels like a strategy because so many people are avoiding it!
When everyone else is spinning, blaming, hiding, rationalizing, or protecting their image, simply telling the truth can create clarity.
Does this ring true for you? 👀
The moment people stop believing they can bring reality to the leader safely, the organization starts becoming politically intelligent instead of mission intelligent.
Wow what a great afternoon giving the opening keynote and mini-workshop at the FIAAA State Convention!
Thank to @talboooty for the invitation and world class experience 👊🏼
Just so we are ALL CLEAR on what happened today...
Educators and school administrators single-handedly CANCELLED SCHOOL for 700,000 North Carolina students...
...INCLUDING MY SON!!!
To wave signs around in the street instead.
The signs vary from:
a) F**K ICE!!!
b) Defeat Trump's Agenda
c) Trump is a N*ZI
d) ICE OUT!!!
e) Protect trans kids
f) Refuse fascism
g) Stop bombing schools
DO NOT TELL ME THIS WAS ABOUT KIDS.
IT NEVER WAS.
This was ADULTS using 700,000 children, INCLUDING MINE, as political leverage against a president they don't like.
That is despicable.
You know better... DO BETTER.
You’re too capable to still be leading at this level!
Not a knock. A mirror.
There’s a version of you your team hasn’t experienced yet.
Not from lack of effort… from what you’ve been willing to tolerate.
If you’re ready to stop negotiating with that… let’s have a conversation.
TIAAA is excited for Jeremy Boone to join us as the Opening Session Keynote Speaker for the '26 TN AD Conference. Jeremy is the Owner and Founder of Athlete by Design and Winning Leadership.
