Listening to a podcast this morning of our new @wayzataschools superintendent and he stated that one of his closest mentors taught him to “lead with family first, fun second, and work third.” I think lots of educators should take this advice, including myself.
Overprotected kids become unprepared adults.
Dawn Staley said it.
And every parent needs to hear it.
Here's what parents get wrong about raising resilient kids.

Geno said what EVERYONE in the women’s game is thinking… 💯🔥
6–7AM shootarounds?! For WHAT? Because the NCAA wants to jam 2 regions into 1 site 🤦🏾♂️
That’s not growth… that’s a MESS.
Stop monopolizing. Start making sense.
LISTEN 👇🏾

I’ll still never forget the press conference where @Lindsay_13 said “we can win with Minnesota girls.” Today proved all of the truth behind that statement. Women’s sports 🏀 ❤️〽️
To pay homage to Kobe and Gigi Bryant, who would’ve been in her freshman year at UConn, USC and UConn players are all wearing different pairs of Kobe’s for today’s game.
This is an awful look for Bill Belichick.
When you occupy the space Bill does, you should recognize what these games mean to opposing coaches.
Jake Dickert even removed his hat as he approached to shake hands.
REALLY special opening statement by P.J. Fleck (worth the ENTIRE listen):
- Wore this blue wristband, our community has been through a lot, that’s why Heather and I love it here so much…today was a special win, we had Fletcher’s 3 buddies, and his brother join us yesterday from the Annunciation shooting. Fletcher (Merkel) was one of the young people that lost his life. Their Dads came and spent a lot of time with us yesterday.
- One of Fletcher’s greatest memories was the USC game last year, which was talked about his funeral.
- It’s the most unthinkable, tragic, catastrophic feeling you probably could ever have, losing your child.
- @MikeWierzbicki did a tremendous job of hosting them, and bringing them into our family
- They all got a game ball, kids are really resilient, but we don’t know how that will really impact young people
- This is what Row The Boat is all about. Can’t bring Fletcher back, can’t make it easier, but I hope that for 45 minutes in my office, for pre-game, to that locker room, they could smile, and I thought they did.
- This goes way bigger than football, everybody. I get paid to win, but I understand my role as a head football coach, I understand the obligation I have, the job I have to do and who I represent.
- People can say Row The Boat is corny, it’s 13 years everybody, move on, find a new word, almost 100 wins…corny? It’s never give up. It’s what we just talked about with Team Fletcher, if you’re going to call that corny, you have issues and problems.
- What our team showed tonight was resolve and the resiliency of what RTB is all about. I’m so darn proud of them. I don’t know if I’ve been a part of a win like that, that meant so much, and you didn’t even know it.
- Coming off of a loss like that, they found a way to win.
- #1 reason I love being a football coach is changing lives.
