Great day to win a basketball game

Do it for them

[Mike Epstein @TheRealCoachEps]

Such a great tradition across all their sports

@Mark_Ayres61 If you’re looking to personally attack this is not the time or the place to do so. I said nothing political. I was enrolled in a Master’s program in Higher Learning Administration. So I was commenting on an article that was comparative to ones I had cited previously in schoolwork

[Mike Epstein @TheRealCoachEps]

@Mark_Ayres61 @drantbradley @Forbes We’re talking about colleges and universities that not only have young adults who attend their institutions, but in some cases hundreds of staff and faculty employed by them as well. It’s irresponsible reporting to put these schools on blast without a proper foundation. Agree?

[Mike Epstein @TheRealCoachEps]

@Mark_Ayres61 @drantbradley @Forbes Look at the endowments at some of these schools. They’re not going anywhere. Reputable institutions in good standing. Has our economy changed over the last six years, since Covid? Of course it has. Does higher education need to evolve to keep up? Most definitely.

[Mike Epstein @TheRealCoachEps]

@Mark_Ayres61 @drantbradley @Forbes I’m not turning a blind eye. I’m aware that this has happened at a number of small, mostly private, liberal arts institutions recently. So is the list partially relevant…perhaps. But a deeper dive into their metrics and how the grades were developed needs to looked at and vetted

@D3Direct @WestConnATH @WestConnMBB @LittleEastConf Nice looking facility. High ceilings. Lots of light. Judging by the video I’m a little weary of the capacity number. But not hating at all. Absolutely excellent!

New Siena coach Nevada Smith’s opening remarks:

[Mike Epstein @TheRealCoachEps]

@EmmanuelAcho … why we can, and often should, expect more from our student-athletes in regard to getting mentally and physically prepared for practice. If our military can conduct training exercises in Garrison or the field/deployed with no outside music playing.

[Mike Epstein @TheRealCoachEps]

@EmmanuelAcho As a football coach and a veteran I think I’m at least semi-qualified to comment on this…

I didn’t see anything wrong with the statement. In no way was I under the impression he was trying to compare the two in an apples to apples scenario. What he did do was shine light on…

A father told his daughter, "Congrats on your graduation. I bought you a car a while back. I want you to have it now."

Before I give it to you, take it to a car dealer in the city and sell it. See how much they offer.”

The girl came back to her father & said: "They offered me $10,000 dollars because it looks very old"

Father said: "Ok, now take it to the pawn shop".

The girl returns to her father & said: "The pawn shop offered $1,000 dollars because it's a very old car & a lot of work done".

The father told her to join a passionate car club with experts & show them the car.

The girl drove to the passionate car club.

She returned to her father after a few hours & told him, “Some people in the club offered me $100k because its a rare car that's in good condition.”

Then the father said, "I wanted to let you know that you are not worth anything if you are not in the right place. If you are not appreciated, do not be angry, that means you are in the wrong place. Don't stay in a place where no one sees your value ."

The moral of the story : Know your worth and know where you are valued. A diamond doesn't shine on the bottom of a cave.

CRAZY RIGHT ? 🤦‍♂️💔

Dr Dre’s ex wife was with him for 24 good years . Filed for divorce and received $100 million dollars cash and many luxury cars .

Dr Dre cried but decided to use it as motivation. After giving her 50% of his wealth Dr Dre doubled his hustle and today he is OFFICIALLY A BILLIONAIRE.

The wife is not even worth $40 million as we speak .

The real strength of men lies in their ability to use every setback as a motivation.

Congratulations DR DRE .

Moral lesson : Always use every pain as a motivation to level up .

30 years ago I started a journey. Not one scholarship offer. The reason? I was deemed too slow.

That day I DECIDED nothing would stop me. I found my trainer Jay Schroeder and started an unorthodox training program that tested me physically, emotionally, and psychologically to level I could have never imagined. I lived by the mantra that:

Your will to PREPARE for success had to be far greater than your desire for success.

I went all in, committed my heart and soul, and 5 years later - 25 years ago - I had my chance to show the NFL how far I’d come.

Here the video from my pro day:
40 YD - 4.37
Short Shuttle - 3.83
3 Cone - 6.37
Long Shuttle - 10.77
Pedal Flip - 4.11
I also benched 225 lbs 31x , vertical jumped 39.5", broad jumped 10'10"

I literally transformed myself from a nobody to one of the best in the world in 5 years.

I post this not to brag but as a reminder. BELIEF is powerful. Don't ever allow or entertain anybody's judgment or narrative about you, even for a microsecond. DOUBLE DOWN on yourself and always put it all on your shoulders. Have immense GRATITUDE for what God has put in front of you.

Looking back, I’m grateful I didn’t earn a scholarship, that I had to walk on, that I had to fight and sacrifice to a level I never thought possible... To BELIEVE in myself so deeply that nothing could ever stop me.

I have immense pride in that journey... More than in any NFL accolade. It represents defying the impossible and forms the foundation for everything I do in life today. My only regret? Back then, I thought it was all me. It wasn't. Better late than never: all glory to God

Former Kentucky Head Basketball🏀Coach talks about Michael, a coal miner that brought his son to a game right after work. No time for a shower because he didn't want his son to miss anything.

New England Patriots HC Mike Vrabel - Valuing Every Conversation

- "I got some great advice from a HC... He said just remember when that person comes in to talk to you, that is the most important conversation they're going to have with anybody all week. And I've tried to think about that every time someone asks if I have 5 minutes."
