I Can't stand "S.O.F.T." Players!
S - satisfied with being average
O - only concerned about self
F - finds excuses easily
T - tough in speech, but not action
* This applies to coaches as well!
"Players play. Tough players win." (Tom Izzo)
Tough players play through situations. They compete regardless of the circumstances. They keep playing in spite of poor officiating. They play tough when they are tired. They gut it out when adversity hits. Tough players win!
Kids worked a @MrRoughton classic today! The Influencer! In this enlightenment speed dating activity…Ss analyzed bios, compared beliefs + narrowed their choice to 1 perfect match! Then they made a rose 🌹 sketch & tell to announce their choice!! #eduprotocols#tlap#sschat

Sustained excellence is all about building intentional routines and sticking with them consistently. Here’s a snapshot of one of my pre-game routines to get me ready to compete and play at the highest level.
Character Operation was a success. 💉 ✅ Students “operated” on their protagonists by diagnosing character traits using text evidence. It was hard work, but my students have lots of patients! 😉 #RWTDeveryday

COACHES we must be committed to teaching life lessons and not just our sport. A good place to start is leaving things better than you found it. Be invested in the WHOLE kid not just the player.

Without the EXTRA, extraordinary is just ordinary. You must be willing to do more in order to achieve more.
My students completed a murder mystery escape room yesterday. They unraveled the evidence, made connections and put their knowledge to the test. They also completed a 12 step Hero’s Journey @eduprotocols to outline the plot of the story!! Busy day! Fun 🤩 adventure!
