Help someone.
Encourage someone.
No matter what’s happening in the world, we can always choose to be a force for good and make a meaningful difference in someone’s life.

Be the reason someone believes in the goodness in the world.

Everytime I get mad at my sports team for losing, I remind myself of what Giannis said. Arguably my favorite response to a reporter ever.

My first year as a head coach. 1-9.

My third year as a head coach. 9-1.

It started with sophomores tired of losing. Commitment to the weight-room. Setting clear targets on little things like keeping the locker-room clean, 1st downs, good grades, simplifying the playbook.

Winning culture followed.

Nick Saban’s “Nothing” Speech

He’s still got it.

[Brian Kight @BrianKight]

"You can either produce excellence or you can avoid criticism. But you cannot do both of those.

The reason that you don't have certain excellence that you want is because you are afraid of getting criticized.

You are afraid of the judgment that comes with it. You are afraid of standing out. You are afraid of being alone. You are afraid of people looking at you. You are worried about what people think of you.

There are 2 categories of things in this world:

1) Things that are up to you
2) Things that are not up to you

Which category does your reputation sit in?

Your reputation is not up to you.

I'm the one who associates your reputation with something, not you. You just do things.

What's up to you?

How you act. Your decisions. Your actions. That is up to you. Your reputation is not up to you.

Here's how I know that:

You all have a reputation about me and it's not in my control.

I get to say and do whatever I say and do up here. I am in control of saying it. I am in control of doing it. The moment words leave my lips, who has control over what is done with those words?

You!

You are in control of what you think of me. And there's no way everybody in this room is going to think the exact same thing about me. No way.

When it comes to exceptional, what we've got to understand is you can spend your whole life trying to avoid criticism and earn reputation, and it still won't be in your control.

We can waste a lot of time missing out on excellence we could have been producing if we were just simply LESS trying to engineer what we wanted other people to think about us."

[Baseball’s Greatest Moments @BBGreatMoments]

Every parent, coach and player should listen to this. Maybe listen twice just to let it sink in.

I’ve been pretty silent about politics thus far but I’ll tell you this. Having a teacher as Vice President is a beautiful thing. Having a family of educators in the White House is even more beautiful. Tim Walz and his wife are teachers. There is a certain type of thoughtfulness, capacity to see beyond and humanity that educators have. To teach or to have ever taught changes you in the most magical ways. You need people with that outlook in power and in proximity to it.
