"Whether you are starting or sitting on the bench, your team is YOUR team. It's 'we' and 'ours' not 'they', 'them', or 'their'. Win or lose, playing or sitting, you are responsible for being a good teammate, positive leader, energy giver, and verbal encourager"

Thoughts from this week at the Final 4: - Relationships still matter - If you don't want adapt, get out of the game and make way for people willing to work and find solutions - There are SOO MANY good people in this business, seek them out - Offensive rebounds are the best

Great reminder for us all.

Rick Pitino said, "You're not allowed to give excuses because excuses are a sign of weakness. We give no excuses when we fail." "Failure is just fertilizer to help us grow as a team." Excuses are just noise. You either make progress or make excuses. But you can't do both.

Got to catch up with my high school coach today. The legend Dan Mckiernan. The reason I became a teacher and coach. McKiernan won 610 games in 48 seasons as head coach. He led Palmer to 5A state championships in 1993 and 2000. He's a member of the Colorado Springs Sports HOF

Coaching high school basketball isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s late nights, early mornings, tough conversations, and big decisions. But it’s also unforgettable moments, life-changing lessons, and relationships that last forever. The grind is worth the impact.

Athlete: Coach… I think I want to quit. Coach: Okay. Then let’s talk about why. Athlete: I’m tired. All the early mornings, the pain, the pressure. Sometimes I wake up and wonder what I’m even doing this for. Coach: That’s not quitting. That’s being human. Doubt shows up when

In the midst of recent tragic events, this morning I am thankful to be standing and watching our leaders and young men together preparing for a game. Shirt says it. #GodBlessAmerica

True class act and a hell of a basketball coach. Young coaches could learn a lot about X's and O's and how to build relationships from this guy.
