@RealJayWilliams Getting your hand up is what I taught over the last 40 years. But not always perfect advice. My team was in the Middle school conference championship and we lead by 2 points in OT. My best player had his hand up high and kid made a 3/4 court shot at the buzzer. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Watch tape of the last play in Duke vs UConn…. - play design? - baseline & sideline as extra defenders - Evans (best FT%) not in the frame - Cayden (turn, face, stay stationary & analyze - Karaban intelligent read - Evan’s hands low - Mullin’s dagger

Mr PitBull

I was fired today. Well, laid off. "Budget cuts," my boss said. I packed my box. I was terrified. I have a mortgage. As I walked to the elevator, the CEO—the big boss who never talks to anyone—stepped in with me. "You're Sarah, right?" he asked. "Yes sir." "You stayed late last month to help the interns fix that presentation. You didn't ask for overtime." I nodded, surprised he knew. "I can't stop the layoffs," he said. "Board's decision. But I made a phone call." The elevator dinged. He handed me a card. "My friend runs a firm across town. He's expecting your call at 9 AM tomorrow. He needs a manager who cares about people. The pay is 20% higher." I stared at him. "Why?" "Because you held the door for the cleaning lady every single morning," he said. "I notice things." Character is what you do when you think no one is watching. Credit: Nancy brooks

Overprotected kids become unprepared adults. Dawn Staley nailed it.🔥 You can’t shelter your child from every hard moment and then expect them to handle adversity when it counts. Hard is the lesson. Watch. Share. Bookmark.

The Husky
The Husky@Mr_Husky1·
I’m a high school teacher. We have policies. Late work gets points deducted. Turn it in on time or take the hit. That’s how students learn responsibility. Senior year. Final paper worth thirty percent of the grade. Due Friday. Monday came. Still no paper from this one kid. Smart kid. Never missed assignments before. Called him to my desk after class. “Where’s your paper?” He looked down. “I don’t have it” Waited. He didn’t elaborate. “You know this tanks your grade right? Might not graduate” He nodded. Still wouldn’t look at me. “Do you not care?” His voice cracked. “My dad died Thursday night. Heart attack. Paper was done. On my laptop. But I’ve been at the hospital. At the funeral home. I forgot. I just forgot.” My chest tightened. “I’m so sorry. Why didn’t you tell me?” “Because it sounds like an excuse. Everyone has excuses.” He finally looked up. Eyes red. “Just fail me. I deserve it.” Closed my gradebook. “Email me the paper tonight. Full credit. And take this week off. Come back when you’re ready.” He shook his head. “The policy—” “I’m the teacher. I make exceptions when life happens. Your dad died. That’s not an excuse. That’s a tragedy. Go home.” He graduated. Top ten percent. Spoke at graduation. Mentioned a teacher who showed him that rules and compassion can coexist. I was in the audience. Crying. Sometimes grace matters more than policy. —Mr. Hayes, English teacher

The Winning Difference
The Winning Difference@thewinningdiff1·
“Soft loses every day. If a kid really wants to be good, he’ll respect you a lot more if you’re hard. There’s a way to be hard without being degrading. I don’t think you can ever let your kids settle, ever,” Bill Self Comfort doesn’t build winners but standards do.

Parents… If you send an encouraging email to your child’s teacher, please know there is a good chance they will print it out and save it in a file. They will reread it when they are feeling down. Your encouraging words will go a long way. P.S. It’s Teacher Appreciation Week.

If you are going to enter the transfer portal just go. It's your right. Go get your $$$. But can we please stop with the lengthy love letters professing "I'll always be a __________" and how much you love your coaches and teammates??? No...you won't be. No...you don't.

Something special to share on this Thanksgiving. Nebraska volleyball star Harper Murray fell into a dark place in the offseason after her freshman year. She got in trouble and needed help. Murray’s coach, John Cook, refused to give up on her.
