Oligarchic money, patriotic branding, weaponized division, and a cult of a “great man” eroding democracy from within is the story told in "Keeper of the Flame" (1942)--Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. It is also how a growing body of research now characterizes the authoritarian trend of Trump’s second presidency. #holdfast
Why Coaching Is Harder Than People Think (A Holiday Reminder)…
Because coaching isn’t just about plays, drills, or game nights.
It’s about people.
It’s about walking into practice every day and managing emotions you didn’t create but are responsible for.
Your own.
Your players.
Your assistants.
Parents.
Administrators.
Fans.
It’s about teaching kids who are all at different stages.
Different maturity levels.
Different confidence levels.
Different home situations.
And somehow holding them to the same standards while still meeting them where they are.
It’s about decisions that look simple from the stands but feel heavy from the sideline.
Who plays.
When.
Why.
How you communicate it.
And how that decision might land on a 16-year-old who ties their identity to minutes.
It’s about losing sleep over kids who won’t buy in.
Over conversations you need to have.
Over mistakes you replay in your head long after everyone else moved on.
It’s about being judged by people who see the outcome, not the process.
The scoreboard, not the hours.
The result, not the relationships.
And yet, you show up again.
You plan. You teach. You model. You care.
As the season slows and the holidays arrive, this is the reminder:
What you do matters.
Even when it goes unseen.
Even when it feels heavy.
Even when it’s hard.
Coaching is about influence. And influence lasts longer than any season.
That’s why coaching is harder than people think. And also why it matters so much.
As the year winds down, I hope you find a little rest, a little perspective, and a lot of pride in the work you’re doing.
🎄Happy Holidays, Coach.
This is coming from the same free market party that rushed industries out of the country to markets of cheap labor and trade along with outsourcing of American jobs now they want to tariff tax them and force them back. #F’d our country then and #FFING us again
.@JohnFetterman: "It is NOT free speech to lie. You can't scream fire in a movie theater when there isn't one. Saying the election was rigged is demonstrably false... We saw what happens when you have 2 months of lies. All it takes is that one spark and the tinderbox goes off."
Well, this is a bit awkward. COVID-19 may cause long-term erectile dysfunction in men. Yet another reason to heed public health advice as the coronavirus continues to spread. https://t.co/rFiNEUbpGy
Says the Dentist who wears a mask as they work on your teeth.... #Hypocrite and driver of tribalism- oh wait, did you not just post on tribalism is killing our country ?? If you want to lead. Then lead
I don’t know what’s worse you or your followers being intellectually lazy because you’re trying to gin up those who support your mindset- For 6 months, people have fought to save their livelihood-it’s disgusting you tell others how to vote w/no idea what #PPP means @kirstiealley
This is FN DISGUSTING - She might be qualified with a good career, but for the NRSC to automatically tag her notorious as a shot to what #RBC legacy really was to raise money is tasteless #RegisterToVote#Vote#useyourvoice
