Haven’t posted on social in quite some time but can’t stay quiet in this time of loss. I’m struggling to tell all what Bobby Cox meant to me and so many others in Braves Country. He was the leader of men and a second father to so many Atlanta Braves thru the yrs. I’m so sad today, but as I sit here watching my two youngest boys play in their championship games on the day he passed, I can’t help but shout the same things he did from the corner of the dugout. ‘Come on kid, u got this!’ We are gonna miss him so much, but his legacy is forever cemented with the success of this franchise for the last 35+ yrs. He started it as GM, continued as manager, and passing the torch to others, the Atlanta Braves will continue to be force that Bobby Cox always wanted us to be. We love you Skipper. You were our rock. I love you more than words can express. My boys won both of their games…..Bobby had a hand, I have no doubt!

3rd base coach: “Let’s go! Get a good pitch to hit!” 1st base coach: “Let the ball travel!” Dad: “Remember to keep your weight back!” Grandpa: “Get that runner over!” Little bro: “Hit a bomb!” Dugout: “Don’t lunge!” “Stay thru the baseball!” “Stay short to the ball!” “Watch for the 1st pitch curveball!” “Sit fastball!” Hitter thoughts: You gotta block out the noise, have extreme focus, control the pressure and anxiety, have your plan and compete. Just writing this gave me anxiety, imagine what that young ballplayer is going through in the moment the next time you want to start barking out instructions on how to hit! 🤐 #BaseballTruth

Great story from Mike Krzyzewski. “Who do you talk to the most? Yourself, so when you talk to yourself, why not be yourself's best friend?” Your inner voice drives everything. Make it one that builds you. 🎥: Sons & Daughters Podcast x.com/MVP_Mindset/st…

Go do it!!

“If you can have 10 deflections in 12 minutes, you are influencing winning in a big way” Being a good player is about way more that scoring the rock

☑️ BAD players complain when criticized. ☑️ AVERAGE players shut down when criticized. ☑️ GOOD players listen when criticized. ☑️ GREAT players grow when criticized.

Landmark news for Alabama high school basketball:

Say what you want about The Masters... But there is nowhere else on planet earth where you will see a photo of humans like this where not a single one of them is looking at a phone. Truly one of the most beautiful things.

Danny Hurley posted this video The first guy back in the gym following their National Championship loss Alex Karaban People want to tell you what he can’t do but he’s the type of guy that helps NBA teams win - a culture builder, winner, and a Pro

Coach K on coaching: “The high moments are even higher because you experienced misery. You won’t get that high unless you experience that low.” Now Coach Scheyer is stepping into his own story, embracing the process that leads to something special.😈

“It’s never as good as it seems and it’s never as bad as it seems. Focus on the present moment regardless of what happened yesterday.” - Roy Williams

ONE SHINING MOMENT 🙌 #MarchMadness

Dear Alex Karaban, Thank You for an incredible four-year career. You are truly one of the great winners and ambassadors in the history of college basketball. Walk Proud. Today. Tomorrow. And Forever. Sincerely, America

An important message for parents. Negativity at home always finds its way to the locker room. Parents have the power to help build a positive culture…or poison it.

Dan Hurley has talked often of his days as a HS history teacher. A couple years ago I reached out to his former students to see what he was like. When informed of this, Hurley said two words: “Oh, God.” ⤵️ nytimes.com/athletic/58977… via @NYTimes

On the eve of College Basketball’s Final Game; I am reminded of Coach Don Meyers 10 Pointers for a State Championship: 1. GET THERE: Everything you do must be geared to getting there. 2. Once You Get There, Don’t Make it a Big Deal - The Awe Factor 3. Do What You Did to Get There, Don’t get Fancy. 4. But Be Aggressive - Look for Ways to Win, Be Aggressive Early in Game. 5. REST; More Gold Medals are Lost from Over Training, than Undertraining. 6. Prevent Easy Baskets! 7. Get Some Easy Baskets: Running, Rebounding, Getting Fouled, Attack their Best Player. 8. Make Your Free Throws. 9. Make Your Layups: Two Hands & Two Feet, Make Clean Layups in Practice, Shoot Pressured Layups. 10. Give Your Team a Reason - Deserving to Win!

Every time you see a UConn team on the floor you will see skill work Big part of Coach Hurley’s approach

Great story from Coach K on running into a former camper and the lesson this man carried with him. Coach K asked all the kids at the camp... "Who do you talk to the most?" “Yourself… so when you talk to yourself, why not be yourself's best friend?” A lot of performers are entertaining an internal voice that’s critical, impatient, and unforgiving. We say things to ourselves we’d never say to a teammate and then we expect confidence, consistency, and composure to follow. You're in a lifelong conversation with yourself. Make it one worth having. 📹: Sons and Daughters Podcast
