It's official - EIGHT AASP CEU's for CMPC renewal - in addition to a topnotch lineup of speakers.

@RileyJensen Same issue in Nevada. @ccsd used to leave things unlocked, but shut everything down 8-10 years ago. Classic case of being more worried about a lawsuit than doing what’s best for kids.

Frustrated Dad Alert One of my favorite memories growing up was heading to the local high school with my Dad and brothers. We’d play catch, hit tennis balls, play catch with a football, or smack baseballs on those empty fields. Pure joy. Today I drove my kids to two Granite School District high schools on a perfect 61° spring day. I wanted to time my daughter on the track and throw with my son. **Both schools were locked down like Fort Knox.** Fields empty. Tracks empty. Gates chained. No one there. I’ve heard every excuse in the book — and they all stink worse than armpits. We live in a world that’s already fighting to pull kids off phones and get them moving. Why are we making it harder? High school football and baseball participation numbers are dropping for a reason — kids literally can’t find a safe place to practice, disconnect from screens, and connect with their parents. @GovCox @GraniteSchools — there has to be a better way. Open the fields and tracks when school’s not in session, including weekends. Let families use what our tax dollars already paid for. These are not private clubs for members only. If you were a charter school, I get it, but we pay for these beautiful fields and tracks. This isn’t just my problem. This is every Utah kid’s problem. @BarstoolGruden knock on wood if you’re with me… Who else is with me? Tag a parent. Tag a coach. Tag your school board member. Let’s make some noise until they open the gates. #OpenTheFields #GraniteSchools #GetKidsOutside

@FL_Ftball here's an idea.

@Doug_Lemov So I'm interested in some additional study in behavior change, nudging, transformational leadership, and culture change through the lens of sport psychology. Any suggestions for directions or programs that integrate these ideas?

@CoachMarkCheney thanks, Mark!

I've been a fan of @Doug_Lemov 's work for years. This article and thread is absolute gold for coaches.

As Bill Walsh has said, "Champions behave like champions before they are champions."

@DiTullioJoe Scummy - def. - contemptible, vile, or morally low Less than ideal timing? Yes. Scummy? No, and definitely not compared to your other examples.

@CoachMarkCheney Is it not scummy to retire 18 days before the season? To not let the school do an actual search for a head coach? To not give guys time to transfer out before the season starts?

Scummy things from coaches last few seasons: -will wade (FBI/leaving NC state for ex) -Tony Bennett (retiring right before the season) -Bruce Pearl (Nepo/leaving team right before the season) -Sean Miller (FBI/leaving Xavier twice) -Ed Cooley (quit on his team for Gtown job)

Students who took notes by hand scored ~28% higher on conceptual questions than laptop note-takers. Writing forces your brain to process and compress ideas instead of copying them.

Most golfers guess the wind. Try this rule: Into wind → −1 yard per mph Downwind → +0.5 yards per mph Crosswind → aim 1 yard per mph I made a Wind Cheat Sheet ⬇️ Reply WIND and I’ll send it. #ChangeTheGame

@canonclaycomb @USGA Resembles the 2nd hole at Royal Dornoch. No surprise since that's where Donald Ross grew up.

I know nothing about the Country Club of Buffalo but this might be the coolest par 3 green I’ve ever seen. (Credit @USGA )

@AlexWright1028 I like that too, but with the NIAA changing the leagues so frequently, you would be constantly replacing them.

Carter will have updates and coverage at the 4A girls basketball state title game as Losee looks to win its first state title against Reno. Side note: I like that the Northern schools have banners/logos of the other teams around the region/league in their gyms.

@NickJFreitas Millstones

Someone needs to inform this guy about milestones and how they’re used in the Bible when people hurt children.

@stevemagness Link to the data?

We always hear the mental side matters...But how much? And what part? A new meta-analysis of over 24,000 athletes finally puts numbers to it. Motivation, Grit, emotional control, anxiety, what matters? Here's what actually moves the needle and what doesn't.

@stevemagness So how does a teacher navigate this? Would putting low performers near the high performers have a net impact on class performance of -15%?

Research has found that sitting close to a high performer improved performance by 15%. Sitting close to a low performer decreased performance by 30%. Surround yourself wisely!

In this edition of The 90%, we're gear up for the Las Vegas Mental Performance Summit, highlight @CCignettiIU's signature practices, and present the habit of fronting. eomail5.com/web-version?p=…

@CoachAlanBishop @UHCougarTennis Do we get to see the meal plan too? If you're going to look like a . . .

Stacking Good Days Great job @UHCougarTennis

Slowly, but surely, the message is getting out that you don't have to get hyped to play at a high level. Indeed, the opposite is often true.
