[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

"If you want to improve the quality of your results, start by examining the quality of your process." @Justinsua

Effort, discipline, and sacrifice are not for everyone. 

But neither is playing time, winning, or success.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

The Best Players do “Boring” Better.

They…

▪️Show up early
▪️Focus on fundamentals
▪️Do extra reps
▪️Give attention to detail  
▪️Stay late

These are the things that separate good from great.

Trust the Process. Do Boring Better.

[Pastors for Children @pastors4txkids]

Texans support their “public free schools” as the Constitution demands!

There will be more voucher opposition after #2024Elections than there is now!

Rural Texans know and trust the folks serving them in #txlege, and elect them to oppose vouchers & support #txed!

No vouchers!

#AGTG After a great conversation with @CoachB_MTXE I am excited to announce that I have received an offer from Kilgore college !!

PLAYERS: How you do anything in life is how you do everything.

◽️ Late for class
◽️ Always has an excuse
◽️ Never keeps their word
◽️ Doesn't complete school work
◽️ Disrespects teachers/coaches/parents

These players are rarely good teammates.

~via @CoachJonBeck

[Jamy Bechler @CoachBechler]

PLAYERS: Refuse to be mediocre. Don't do things that "everybody else" is doing. Rise above the rest. Average means you're just as close to the bottom as you are the top. Find ways to be different. Find ways to be better. Do more than is expected of you. Find ways to be valuable.

Sports Parents, this is for you.

How you talk to your child matters.

Here are 10 Phrases that All Athletes Need to Hear...

1: “I LOVE WATCHING YOU PLAY"
This is a powerful statement to a child. There is no judgment or criticism. Ultimately, this is all you really need to say.

2: “I BELIEVE IN YOU”
Do you want to build confidence in your child? Tell them you believe in them. They need to hear this from adults.

3: "DO YOUR BEST"
We are all different. We all have different skill sets. All we can ever do is our best.

4: "BE GREAT AT WHAT YOU ARE GOOD AT"
This encourages athletes to focus on their strengths. It helps kids define their role on the team.

5: "LOVE YOUR TEAMMATES"
The joy of team sports comes from the commitment to your teammates. Athletes need to care about their teammates.

6: "NEXT PLAY"
This is a move-on mindset. Don't dwell on a mistake and make another. Don’t celebrate after a great play so much that you lose your focus. This teaches athletes composure and poise.

7: "MAKE MEMORIES"
Live in the moment. A season goes fast. Your high school career goes fast. Appreciate the moments and cherish the memories.

8: “PASS THE MIRROR TEST"
Can you look in the mirror each night? And tell yourself that you did your best, left it on the field or court, were a good teammate, etc.

9: "LEAD BY EXAMPLE"
This is the first step to leadership. Be on time, and have a high character. Bring positive energy. Be one of the hardest workers. Be committed.

10: “LEAD OUT LOUD"
Lead by Example, then Lead Out Loud. Be a Vocal Leader. Be an Encourager. Be willing to hold teammates accountable.

I am eternally grateful for my 4 year career. I am so thankful for my 3 years at Cy Creek and I couldn’t have asked for anything more during this past year at Reagan High School. I’m excited for my new chapter and I give all glory to God! @CyCreekFootball @SAReaganFball

The proposed ESA (voucher) program could cost more than $2 billion a year by 2028. The House is expected to vote this week. Contact your rep and ask them to prioritize our teachers and students, not vouchers. https://t.co/NxeoBWtj4u

[Pastors for Children @pastors4txkids]

Vouchers Lose!

The amendment to strip the voucher from HB 1 passed on an 84-63 vote!

There will be no private school vouchers in Texas!

God bless the #txlege House!

God bless Texas public education!

God bless Texas!

🚨 Critical voucher vote this week. 🚨

Let lawmakers know that enough is enough! Use your voice to say no to vouchers and protect public education. https://t.co/NxeoBWtj4u #txed

[BigRo @RojaunCunningh]

More to come💯💪🏾

[Texas Association of School Boards @tasb_news]

A voucher bill, HB 1, will go to the full House for a vote. Reach out to your representative now and ask them to prioritize teachers and students, not vouchers and private schools. https://t.co/Jq41M5Shsp #txed
