Nothing but gratitude for my time at Georgia Southern. The people make the place & this community has been unbelievable to myself, my staff, and our student athletes. Thank you to everyone for your unwavering support. #HailSouthern 🦅

Indiana has seen a 39% decline in girls basketball participation since 1999-2000. Why? It's complicated. I spoke with a few coaches and players during state finals week. Here's what they said: indystar.com/story/sports/h…

Three Important Lessons on THE NEED FOR AFFIRMATION: 1.) People outsource their emotional regulation to sources that were never reliable to begin with. 2.) Even if the thing happens (the praise, the approval, the recognition) the relief will be temporary, because the need would still be there, requiring the next thing to satisfy it. 3.) The phrase "if you need something from someone else" doesn't say you’re wrong to have needs. It says you've placed the switch for your okayness in someone else's hands.

😂He not lying the excuses some leave on school vmail for why their kid not at school be wild too!

@traviskriens 😀 they think they’re really changing refs minds. I try to avoid sitting by some of our parents!

ATTENTION STATE BASKETBALL PARENTS There just can not be a foul called on every possession. There just can't be. If there was, we'd be here until Tuesday. You also don't need to give your opinion on every whistle. You embarrass yourself and your school. #sdpreps

White South African "refugees" have buyers remorse and are returning home because cost of living is too high and shit is too crazy in Trump's America. reuters.com/world/us/trump…

Lexi and Mya (The Miller Sisters, who aren’t really sisters) just wrapped up their 4th AMC Tournament title, in addition to 3 AMC Regular season titles. 12-0 in AMC Tournament play. 73-7 in AMC Regular season 111-15 overall.

Steve Nash didn’t just lead in assists. He led the NBA in high-fives, fist bumps, and pats on the back. And a UC Berkeley study found that teams who showed more physical enthusiasm… won more. Energy is contagious. Encouragement matters.

My first time to coach on Gary Filbert Court and it’s nothing but a privilege!

Rick Pitino believes 'too involved' parents are problem for young American basketball players trib.al/wvT5sRz

Our country is going to pay a heavy price for the over-emphasis on sports we have placed on children. The mental health dangers of sports is piling up (esp. travel sports). The negative consequences often don’t show until the 20s, by then it’s assumed to be about something else.

Loyal assistant coaches matter more than most people realize. They support the vision. They protect the culture. They tell you the truth. Great programs aren’t built by one coach. They’re built by a loyal staff that pulls in the same direction.

And just like that, presidents don’t have anything to do with gas prices again.

College basketball team goes nuts after successfully teaching their freshman teammate how to ride a bike. The Fort Scott Community College team in Kansas was seen cheering on Taylor Frost as he successfully rode the bike. Head basketball coach Matt Glover organized the event for a team bonding activity. “He provided the bike and helmet for Taylor and his teammates were able to teach Taylor something I was unsuccessful in doing,” Frost’s mother said. Wholesome.

@CwellRay Love this Coach!!

The extraordinary energy you put into criticizing your child’s hs coach: Put into making sure your undersized child can shoot🤷🏾‍♂️ Use that passion to rebound those bricks‼️ Make them watch hoop, increasing IQ‼️ Ensure they can use their broke-a** weak hand‼️ Raising victims 👎

@ModestTeacher Agree! Seem to always be ok with signing up for public education summer school for the fun enrichment and to be with his friends.

I get really tired of the subtle disdain that homeschool parents have for public school families. My kids go to public school and WE have simultaneously raised them into terrific kids and young adults. Homeschool your kids, I don’t care, but it doesn’t make you better than me

The unofficial Olympic sport of Wisconsin just dropped and it’s electric.

A sports specialization study at UCLA found that 88% of NCAA Division I athletes played an average of two to three sports growing up. I spoke with a Sioux Falls athlete and trainer who have seen the direct impacts of the multi-sport experience.
