@dpshow the nba fucked this up badly. the knicks acted exactly how the league wants. no retaliation. no fights. didn’t escalate. but that only works if the league acts as enforcer. punish offender, reward good behavior. because they didn’t, the players are forced now to step in.
Just because he’s tall, foreign, and does all this performative look-at-me bullshit doesn’t mean he’s not a scumbag. This guy has the whole world fooled, drives me CRAZY.
Morgantown, West Virginia is one of the best sporting atmospheres I’ve ever seen in person. Hats off to the dedicated fans and ball players, a bucket-list baseball environment.
14 years ago today, @WVUSports hired @CoachMazey to lead the @WVUBaseball program.
From a program nearly cut to a program on the verge of going to Omaha for the 1st time ever, what a ride it’s been.
Let’s GOOOO!! 💛💙
Tom Izzo shares an uncomfortable truth about earning your spot.
"You play real good, you start. You don't play as good, you work your way back in."
"That's the American way - except America has gotten soft."
You don't get what you want in life - you get what you earn.
It starts with showing up and earning it every single day.
No shortcuts...Just hard work.

Coach Cal praised HPU for flying students out postgame.
He added: “Administrations win championships. Coaches win games. In this era of NIL, if you’re not totally into it and they’re not committed, you’re not winning. You just can’t. And High Point is.”
Worth the full listen.

Truly ICONIC moment
Kurt Warner shares the lesson that changed his entire career and it applies to everything.
He sat on the bench for 4 years in college. When a friend asked the coaches why he wasn't playing, the answer wasn't what he expected:
"The reason I wasn't playing was because I was not very good in practice."
His first reaction? Allen Iverson mode.
"Practice? What're you talking about, practice?"
But then he did the math.
"In college we play 12 games in 365 days. In the NFL we play 16 games in 365 days."
That's less than 5% of your year.
"95% of our lives are lived in practice. And the biggest impression we make on people, the way people can understand and really realize who we are, is what we do every day in practice."
This is the 95% Rule. And it applies to everything - sports, business, relationships, life.
1: Show Up With Your Best Effort - Compete and give your best every single day. People can't question how you show up - your effort, attitude, and actions. Consistency removes doubt.
2: Trust Is Built In Practice, Not Games - Trust is earned in the thousands of moments before it's given. Before you can be trusted, people want to know you're dependable. Every day. Not just when it matters.
3: Master Daily Consistency - Success isn't about intensity - it's about consistency. Your habits compound. What you do daily defines who you become.
4: Big Moments Are Earned In Small Moments - The little details make the biggest difference. Greatness starts with preparation - it's earned in the boredom of doing the work when no one's watching.
Excellence isn't an event - It's a habit.
Practice is where trust is built.
How you show up daily is who you really are.

Shout out to Zakari who scored his first career goal on his first career shot in Senior Night for Capital HS v Logan on Thursday.
I am so glad I was able to be there to experience the sheer joy from him and every single person on and around the team.
An idea that I can't stop thinking about:
The Capability Gap
Alabama coach Nick Saban refers to the Capability Gap in this clip from a discussion with Holly Rowe:
“We oftentimes talk about what someone’s potential is, but I think to put it in better terms...the Capability Gap is what you’re capable of relative to what you’re doing...if you understand the truth about that, you can actually take information that can help you close that gap.”
The Capability Gap is a simple idea with powerful implications for every area of your life.
It requires understanding two things:
1. Your full capability
2. Your current delivery
In my experience, most people underestimate their full capability and overestimate their current delivery.
In other words, they think their Capability Gap is small, when in reality, it’s much larger than they realize.
That’s why having mentors, coaches, friends, and family who help you see the truth about your full capability and keep you honest about your current delivery is everything.
This isn’t about sports. This is about life:
Do you have people who help you think bigger about what you’re capable of?
Do you have people who tell you when your current delivery isn’t good enough?
We all need those people.
The ones who push us to get uncomfortable, to stretch our thinking, and to raise our standards.
We need people who help us become better partners, parents, friends, colleagues, and leaders.
Find the people who tell you two truths:
1. What you’re truly capable of
2. What you’re currently delivering on
Identify your Capability Gap and then work relentlessly to close it!

Geno Auriemma said, "We put a huge premium on body language."
"If your body language is bad, you will never get in the game. Ever."
Your body language screams.
It sets the tone for yourself and others.
Your posture, eye contact, and energy are always communicating something.
