Huge S/O to the administrations at both Clay Local Schools & Western Local Schools for investing in their students & their communities! I absolutely love and support this initiative! @claylsdsports@rcsm740@Julie_Billings@KColleyPDTSE@OHSAASports
Watching @CycloneMBB and the announcer talking about the head coach calling practice at 6:00 a.m. They called it militaristic. It’s amazing what a culture of discipline can do. Ask @KentuckyMBB.
If you are interested in helping your team, players and/or child excel in the sports world as well as life, take a look at the conf. in Portsmouth this coming weekend! (3/21) Great Event right here in So. OH. @litter_media@YappiBasketball@SpecSportsOH@ohioiaaa@SEDABSports
As an AD, we made a rule: if a student-athlete quits mid-season, they can’t join preseason activities or the next season’s team until the season they quit is over. Purpose: hold athletes accountable to their commitment.
"Today everybody wants to talk about their rights and their privileges.
50 years ago, people talked about their obligation and responsibility.
You have obligations to other people.
If you want to fail, you have the right to fail.
You do not have the right to cause other people to fail because you do not do everything to the very best of your ability."
Scott Van Pelt and Rece Davis share an amazing story about Lou Holtz playing golf at Augusta National.
Holtz - a member at Augusta - would routinely lay up on the par-3 12th hole for up-and-down pars over Rae's Creek.
Legend behavior. �
My father passed away today resting peacefully at home. I appreciate everyone’s thoughts and prayers over the last couple months! He was successful, but more important he was Significant.
This story is now more than 25 years old and I have told it more times than I can count, but it hits very differently today.
I was anchoring SportsCenter one afternoon and Lou Holtz was on the show. I was quite excited to talk with him, he had been an icon all of my life.
He was very friendly, asking me all about myself as we walked toward the studio to record an interview. I told him: “Actually, Coach, it’s quite exciting, my wife and I are expecting our first child in the next few weeks.”
He stopped dead in his tracks and put a finger up near my face. And I’ll never forget what he said.
“Young man, the most important thing you can do for a child is make sure every day they know how much you love their mother.”
And, just like that, he started walking again.
Our daughter was born a month later, our son came two years after that. And I have thought about what Lou Holtz said to me that day about a million times since.
RIP Coach, thanks for the best advice anyone ever gave me.
Just heard from @CoachSHoltz after texting with him and will certainly respect his families privacy, but his message was encouraging. They’re well aware of all the 🙏🙏🙏his Dad is receiving around the country and world. He did add, “He’s still fighting the fight.” I’d expect nothing less from Lou. Quick story on Coach. Lou loved being the @NDFootball Coach in ways no other could. Our Friday Night “All About Us Dinners”we called them @CBSSports, were epic and Lou an incredibly gifted Speaker was like our Weekly Keynoter! @CraigJames32 was always with us, and he’ll remember too. We did a lot together even called an @NFLonCBS games a couple of times. Towards the end of these Friday dinners he’d grab up salt & pepper shakers and left over wine glasses and diagram plays on the tables. Pretty soon people from other tables would come over and watch.👀 I’d laugh and say who needs to watch @survicbs? Friday Nights with Coach Lou in Manhattan? Much better!
