President Trump just signed the Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations.

America has been recommending far more childhood vaccine doses than any peer nation — in many cases 72 shots.

Effective immediately, this administration recognizes only 11 core vaccinations against the most serious and dangerous diseases. Separate visits. Separate doses where appropriate. Parental choice and informed consent preserved.

This is common sense. This is gold-standard science aligned with what other developed nations already do. This is how we protect children without overwhelming them.

Drew Brees believes he would not have made the hall of fame if it weren't for a film session in 2003 where Marty Schottenheimer told him to stop making excuses

“I’ll never forget a film session in 2003. I was coming off a tough game. As we watched the tape together, Coach asked me the question…”

“‘Hey, why didn’t you throw to this receiver?’ ‘He was wide open.’ My response was… ‘I couldn’t see him.’ The tape paused. There was a moment of silence. Coach glared at me and said… It’s your job to see.’”

“You reach a point in your career when you stop making excuses. It’s usually a moment or an event where you flip a switch. Or make a very conscious decision. And it becomes part of your being. Coach was right.”

“And never again would those words or thoughts come out of my mouth. I would need to find a way to play the game a little bit different. Even if it was in a way that had not been done before.”

Roger Federer told Dartmouth's graduating class the number he thinks explains his whole career:

"In tennis, perfection is impossible. In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches."

Then he asked them to guess a second number:

"Now, I have a question for you. What percentage of points do you think I won in those matches? Only 54%. In other words, even top-ranked tennis players win barely more than half of the points they play."

What that does to you over a career:

"When you lose every second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot. You teach yourself to think, okay, I double-faulted, it's only a point. Okay, I came to the net, then I got passed again, it's only a point."

It applies to the good ones too:

"Even a great shot, an overhead back-end smash that ends up on ESPN's top-10 playlist. That, too, is just a point."

The part that matters is what he does with the point once it ends:

"When you're playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world, and it is. But when it's behind you, it's behind you. This mindset is really crucial, because it frees you to fully commit to the next point at the next point after that. With intensity, clarity, and focus."

And his definition of the best players alive:

"The best in the world are not the best because they win every point. It's because they know they lose again and again and have learned how to deal with it."

Refusing to carry the last point is the same skill as refusing to carry the day's open loops to bed. That one is the sixth fix in my new cortisol piece.

Coaches with young kids(18 and under) preseason reminder

1) Don’t preach family if u ignore your own…The old school coaches bragging that they don’t remember their kids birthdays and haven’t seen them in months is selfish, egotistical, and harmful. Be a good dad and mom first…You’re setting the example for everyone u coach

2) Include your young children and if a head coach include your staffs children in everything possible

**However be cognizant of the fact that not every player, not every coach, not every prayer leader, and not every administrator is safe for your kids to be around alone.

It’s a reality that your kids can be in harms way simply because u feel safe and u believe that everyone u coach and everyone u hire and everyone u work for are good safe humans. They’re not.

So yes include your children, but protect them at all times.

3) Win or lose… be a phenomenal parent. Don’t let a big win and a huge loss affect the quality of your parenting. Be that great parent the moment u walk in the door… otherwise your selfishness will cause damage that might not be undone

Most of all remember that you are always a leader and everything u do is a learned behavior for your team as well as your kids.

Be the best dad and mom in the world…Win or Lose!

Rusya’da Instagram fenomeni Ekaterina Didenko’nun havuz partisinde, kimsenin beklemediği bir facia yaşandı.

Partide havuzun üzerinde sis efekti oluşturmak isteyen fenomen ve arkadaşları, onlarca kilogram kuru buzu suya döktü. Ancak eğlenceye dönüşmesini bekledikleri o anlar, saniyeler içinde dehşete dönüştü.

Çünkü kapalı alanda suyla temas eden kuru buz hızla süblimleşerek yoğun miktarda karbondioksit gazı açığa çıkardı. Oksijenin yerini alan gaz nedeniyle havuza giren 3 kişi bilincini kaybetti ve tüm müdahalelere rağmen hayatını kaybetti.

On July 4 2012 in San Diego, California, 7,000 fireworks accidentally went off all at the same time.

What was supposed to be a 17 min show, lasted just 30 seconds, thanks to a computer glitch

It is one of the greatest firework shows of all time

Happy 250th birthday, America 🇺🇸

Taylor Sheridan says quitting his acting role on Sons of Anarchy over a $5,000 per episode dispute led to a writing career behind Sicario, Yellowstone, Landman and more

“Season two of Sons of Anarchy had ended. I'm an actor on this show making scale. And I literally would leave the set of that show and go to my other job because I didn't make enough on that show to pay my rent and live”

“So after season two, I told them, I said, ‘Guys, I'm not coming back and doing this again for this price. I want what the other 14 people, not even asking for what Charlie gets or Katie or Ron Perlman. I just want what the other 11 guys are getting.’ And they couldn't do it”

“The other guys were getting, it's a 13-episode show, they're getting $20,000 an episode before taxes, before agents, before everything. We're not talking about an exorbitant amount of money. They said, ‘We'll give you $15,000 and we'll guarantee you 10 episodes. That's all you're getting’”

“I do the math on it, and I said, ‘That's not a raise. No.’ And my attorney responded to this business affairs guy. He said, ‘Look, I've got kids on fucking cooking shows on YouTube that make more than that.’ And he goes, ‘Well, then the guy should go get a cooking show on YouTube. We just don't have to pay him because there's 50 of that dude. I can recast that guy tomorrow’”

“I realized my value is I'm imminently replaceable and that my business did not respect me. So I quit the show. Whether you want to call it pride or ego or integrity, but I just realized I've maxed out what I can do as an actor in this industry. And the people that have all the power are the people telling stories. So I'm going to tell my own stories. That's when I decided that I was going to write”

Watching all these foreigners rave about the things Americans take for granted every single day has been really eye opening to me.

Never Forget:

1) Coaching is Teaching…Without being a great teacher there isn’t great coaching

2) Details matter…those who get bored with details never become a Top 1% coach

3) Who is the most excited to play may be the most important factor if talent equal

4) Every “Guru” will be humbled “See Bill Belichick”

5) Numbers Lie…Look deep into numbers to see where the real truth lies

6) Be Brutally Honest with a degree of empathy and remember “we are what we repeatedly do, not what we say we do”… Don’t preach toughness if you don’t live it …Don’t say “I love all my players” if u create and support lies to dismiss them or bench them or never have a conversation with them again when they transfer or u kick them off…Love travels

7) Did u laugh uncontrollably yesterday? Why not? Take time to laugh… TikTok/Youtube/ Comedy Central… or simply look in the mirror and laugh hard at yourself

This is what the older generations should try and do more often

[GridironHQ @TheGridironHQ]

The best coaching staffs I’ve been around had this in common:

They genuinely liked being around each other. They could laugh together, hang out together, and talk football for hours.

Yet they still respectfully disagree in a meeting and then walk out aligned. That kind of trust matters, and it’s not easy to build. It takes time and effort.

[Zach Brandon @MVP_Mindset]

Matthew Stafford shares how his QB coach, Dave Ragone, once studied his performance after turnovers and sacks.

They found his stats on the next possession are exponentially better than league average.

“I just equate that to being able to compartmentalize…Be honest and real about it and not ultra emotional.”

In performance environments, your execution on the next play often depends on how long you stay attached to the last one.

The key is not wasting energy arguing with reality and training yourself to respond and re-engage quickly.

Walnut Grove High School in Prosper, Texas is a newer high school in the highly-rated Prosper ISD.

Reading proficiency sits at about 85%. Their state accountability rating is a B, with strong student achievement
scores.
The whole Prosper ISD is running at 98.4%. Average SAT is around 1200. It’s a solid suburban school in a fast-growing, affluent area.

Walnut Grove lets teachers never let students slack off or do they push kids through who can’t read. Reading proficiency is strong around 85%, above the state average.

Parents rate the teachers highly for engaging lessons.

Yes, this school is in a wealthy area, but behavior is taught to children from their parents. Schools that allow disrespectful behavior and are not concerned with education only with turning out fake diplomas.

CEOs are quietly realizing the AI replacement plan has a problem.
Two problems, actually.

One: the token costs for running AI agents are now exceeding what they were paying the employees they fired.

Two: when the tokens run out, the AI stops. Just stops. No continuity. No workaround. Just a spinning wheel where your workforce used to be.

You fired humans to save money and bought a subscription that bills you into a corner.

The employees you let go knew what to do when things broke.
The AI just invoices you for the outage.

And then there’s the permission problem nobody wants to talk about.

To do its job, the AI agent needs access. Full access. Your systems, your patents, your contracts, your future plans. Everything you spent years building, handed over to a process that has no loyalty, no discretion, and no skin in the game.

You didn’t hire a replacement.
You gave a stranger with no soul the keys to everything you own.

Enjoy.
