There has never been another player like Pete Rose in my lifetime. This is the way I will remember him, playing the game harder than anyone else ever did.
Few athletes will leave behind more complicated legacies. Today isn’t the day for that.
Today, let’s just say thanks to Charlie Hustle, for playing the way we always dreamt we would if given the chance. #RIP
Kevin Briggs is a former California highway patrol officer who has stopped more than 200 people from committing suicide on the Golden Gate Bridge.
When Briggs finds a suicidal individual, he usually starts a conversation with them by asking how they are doing, then asking their plans for the following day.
If they did not have plans for the next day, he attempts to make plans with them, inviting them to come back to the bridge if their plan did not work out at the end of the day.
The image below is from 2005 when Briggs spent 60 minutes convincing Kevin Berthia to climb back over a rail on the bridge. Berthia went on to marry and have multiple children.
Briggs has earned the nickname ‘Guardian of the Golden Gate’ for having saved the lives of over 200 people.
When I received my masters in teaching and taught for a year at the age of 23 I never thought I would one day write a book with a blueprint and tons of strategies to improve school culture, energize teachers and impact students.
When I became a speaker I intended to speak to just businesses but after writing the Energy Bus I kept being invited to speak to schools, districts and education conferences as well as businesses.
I didn’t choose schools. They chose me. I realized it was part of my calling to make a difference in schools and the fact that @JimVanAllan wrote his PHD thesis on the Energy Bus’s impact on school culture made him the perfect person to write our new book The Energy Bus for Schools. @EnergyBusSchool
To celebrate the launch of our new book I’m giving away a few copies. Just comment “Energy Bus for Schools” below for a chance to win. We will pick a few winners on Monday.
I also hope you will order a copy today and support our mission to impact schools. This book is going to help so many school leaders improve our schools. Educators have the power to change kids lives but they need the tools and strategies this book provides and I would love for you to join us in this movement and mission.

What is Viktor Hovland doing a day after winning @MemorialGolf? He is caddying for his friend and former teammate at a Oklahoma State, Zach Bauchou who is trying to make it through the final stage of @usopengolf qualifying in Columbus, Ohio.

You can’t wait until circumstances are perfect or you feel like it. Don’t waste your ability. Being lazy is disrespectful to those who believe in you. Every play, every session, every practice shows your dedication to yourself, your team, your teammates. There’s no room for lazy!
When you #GetUp & surround yourself w/ amazing people, getting better at #DoingHardThings just happens. Washington Island Ultra Triathlon was a beautifully amazing 8 miles of swimming, 310 biking, & 62 running. @IslandChamber
How well you play a sport doesn’t define who you are. How you #GetUp when you get your ass kicked in that sport does.
Your grade on a test doesn’t define who you are. How you #GetUp after an F & prep for the next test does.

Could two followers please copy and re-post this tweet? I'm trying to demonstrate that someone is always there, especially at this time of year. Call 800-273-8255 (National Suicide Prevention Helpline US). Just two. Any two. Copy, not retweet. Let’s all look out for each other.
