Produced by Tory Zawacki Roy, this is the story of a man who carried an unlikely dream: To grow his own Wimbledon Centre Court on his farm in Iowa.
It would become much more than that. Including a special appearance from @KirkCousins8.
Ken Griffin on the single factor he looks for when hiring at Citadel:
"show me an athlete who did well academically."
"an athlete because they know what it takes to win and they've had to experience loss."
talent is everywhere. what's rare is someone who knows how to lose, recover, and still perform at a high level.
same thing separates profitable traders from everyone else.
Cool story from @JeffreyTheGreek about what Kirk Ferentz did for the 2000 senior class after winning his first bowl game a year later.

Brad Stevens shares his non-negotiables for life.
"I wanna enjoy who I'm working with. I wanna enjoy where I'm working. I wanna have a goal, but I also wanna enjoy the journey of getting to that goal."
"For me, it starts with being a great teammate. That is something I look for in people. Those relationships are probably the most important thing."
It starts with the people and the character of those people.
Then he explained what it means to show up every day:
"You put your signature on your work every day. You give it everything you have."
"You do it for the good of the whole. You do it to get better at your own job. You do it to improve the whole and see where the chips may fall."
It means giving your best effort and bringing a mindset of excellence to yourself and your team.
"I've been lucky enough to be on really good teams. Teams that have had chances to play for things that are really, really special."
Then he shared what stays with you:
"Very rarely when you look back on those teams - whether at Butler or here - do you think about the individual games or even the moments of the games."
"You think about the people and the individual times with the people."
"That's the special part about being a part of a sports team. That's why you walk through the building every day."
The relationships always stay.
Stevens' wisdom is simple: it comes down to character.
• Be a great teammate.
• Strive for excellence.
• Enjoy the people and the process.
Character isn't what you say - it's what you do consistently.

"We're cheering for the Hawkeyes here."
"I'm certainly not going to compare myself to someone from Indiana"
Ben McCollum jokes at why he'd rather compare himself to Kirk Ferentz, and not Curt Cignetti.
At 6:16 left in the game, Pryce Sandfort made a 3 to take the lead against Iowa. The TBS broadcast showed Matt Rhule in the crowd.
After said basket, Nebraska went on a 5 minute and 9 second scoring drought and got outscored 15-6 for the rest of the game.
