The car ride home is so important in youth sports
If after a win or loss you are obsessing about the game, what message does the child receive? It is very easy to turn a childs passion into something they dread by ending every activity with a lecture on what they could do better
Phil Lesh was my brother. Not by blood but still by family. I’ve heard so many of you tell me that the Grateful Dead changed your life. Yeah, well… Phil Lesh changed mine.
Thank you Phil. I’ll miss you, darn it.
We are devastated to learn of Phil’s passage to the next life. We will miss his sharply dry humor, wry smiles and brilliant insights. Our hearts and our love go out to his beloved wife and family. He truly lived for them with all his being.
His life’s work is a beacon for all of humanity and will continue to guide countless generations of musicians into the backbone of the beat. There are no words to fully express the impact he made with his music and his incredible mind. We are eternally grateful and hope everyone joins us in wishing him a wondrous and peaceful voyage to the great beyond.
Thank you Phil! May your blessed cosmic cerebral beats play on.
With all our love and smiles,
from the Garcia family
P.S. say hi to Jerry
At the age of seventeen, I listened to the John Coltrane Quartet, focusing on McCoy Tyner’s work, feeding Coltrane harmonic and rhythmic ideas to springboard off of - and I developed an approach to guitar playing based off of it. This happened because Phil turned me on...

Today we lost a brother. Our hearts and love go out to Jill Lesh, Brian and Grahame. Phil Lesh was irreplaceable. In one note from the Phil Zone, you could hear and feel the world being born. His bass flowed like a river would flow. It went where the muse took it. He was an explorer of inner and outer space who just happened to play bass. He was a circumnavigator of formerly unknown musical worlds. And more.
We can count on the fingers of one hand the people we can say had as profound an influence on our development - in every sense. And there have been even less people who did so continuously over the decades and will continue to for as long as we live. What a gift he was for us. We won’t say he will be missed, as in any given moment, nothing we do will be without the lessons he taught us - and the lessons that are yet to come, as the conversations will go on.
Phil loved the Dead Heads and always kept them in his heart and mind. The thing is… Phil was so much more than a virtuoso bass player, a composer, a family man, a cultural icon...
There will be a lot of tributes, and they will all say important things. But for us, we’ve spent a lifetime making music with Phil Lesh and the music has a way of saying it all. So listen to the Grateful Dead and, in that way, we’ll all take a little bit of Phil with us, forever.
For this is all a dream we dreamed one afternoon, long ago….

A large part of getting back in shape is remembering how to hurt.
Mental toughness is a skill.
It's normal for your alarm to be hyper reactive when it hasn't experience fatigue in a while.
The way back is to gradually show you can handle it, without freaking out.
Feeling nervous doesn't mean you're unprepared. It means you care about something beyond your control.
Anxiety is a caricature artist. It magnifies flaws and minimizes strengths.
Gaining confidence is not about denying what could go wrong. It’s about recognizing what might go right.
