in hockey terms, i would say it feels like this usa soccer team can -still win- despite some seriously questionable defending and lack of goal support for decent goaltending

but then they don't seem to score a lot in soccer, so. who is going to be your jack hughes, usa...?

@NHLRumourReport Trade him for a pick so they can go and draft another power forward? They need at least one knies type of player

[Mike De Pellegrin @mdepell]

@RyanYessie Exactly. Seen it happen so many times.

[Mike De Pellegrin @mdepell]

@Budgetdog_ @tdross94 Possible, but not easy

[Mike De Pellegrin @mdepell]

@Budgetdog_ @drp825_ Why weekly ?

[Mike De Pellegrin @mdepell]

@RedBarSystems @Budgetdog_ Can you just invest into high yield yield savings account for purchases like vacay or car etc. Probably yields more than standard savings account.

[Mike De Pellegrin @mdepell]

@Budgetdog_ appreciate the posts as always

Underrated coaching truth:
The best coaches aren’t obsessed with talent.

They’re obsessed with effort.
With attitude.
With toughness.

Because when it gets hard,
that’s what still shows up.

[Daniel Abrahams @DanAbrahams77]

The late, great Mike Leach on the benefits of things being hard…

I love this hat-tip to the relationship between ‘hard’ and ‘memories’ from Coach Leach. A hard win evokes strong memories. Their intensity burns them into the brain causing them to linger for longer. Flashbulb memories!

So…embrace hard! Which is hard to do, right? Because hard is hard. Hard is metabolically costly. Hard eats away at our stores of sugars and glucose. Hard exhausts. Hard confuses. We all fall victim to hard.

To paraphrase Rocky - nothing hits harder than hard. And so, when hard beats you to your knees, it could be useful to remind yourself of Coach Leach’s wise words - when you win at hard, you’ll remember it for the rest of your life.

Being coachable is a competitive edge.

Take feedback without flinching.
Apply it without excuse.
Grow without needing praise.

Most players protect their ego.
Winners protect their growth.

Feedback isn’t an attack.
It’s an advantage.

Use it.
