Why are longtime conservative educators like me (lifelong R voter who voted for Abbott), posting and sharing this video? Here is why: Last Fall @GovAbbott recognized the statewide shortage of teachers, calling a special commission to address the issue. He was focused on public ed. But then, at some point he became fixated on vouchers and launched his Private school only tour where he began denouncing public ed calling us “Educrats” and indoctrinators. His actions were then echoed by many in #txlege who began affirming their west texas donors. They started clout chasing voucher lobbyists (with photo ops, using their catchphrases) and blasting public school supporters as Anti Family and Anti-Freedom. Then came the actual voucher bills in March. The bills did not (and do not) actually guarantee any choice for parents. That could be remedied, but instead they created a choice only for the schools. Further they exempted private schools from all the accountability and other compliance mandates which were being used to criticize schools. “PubEd test scores are bad”—but voucher bills removed state testing requirements “PubEd schools have too many admin”-but voucher bills exempted all the compliance, reporting, and mandates that require more admin etc. Then there were the actual bill hearings where many #txlege used their time to fawn over lobbyists while blasting actual fellow conservative public school leaders The icing was the recent public admission that the Governor is dangling any raise for teachers as a “carrot” for getting vouchers passed. So here we are. Me, a long time R voter with Public, Private, and Charter service now finding alignment with the remaining pro public ed republicans and also leading Democrats, but largely abandoned by the state leadership.

Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest athletes of all time. In 2016, we got to see why. Bryant gave a speech at an awards show. He used the moment to address all athletes. “We’re not on this stage just because of talent or ability,” Bryant said. “We’re up here because of 4 am. “We’re up here because of two-a-days or five-a-days. “We’re up here because we had a dream and let nothing stand in our way.” It was the Mamba Mentality on full display. *** LESSON: You can’t cheat the work Bryant was an obsessive athlete. • He’d workout at 4am • He’d train 3x as much (or more) as others • He had a ruthlessly competitive mindset He’s the perfect example of what happens when elite talent and work ethic come together. The lesson here isn’t to be Kobe Bryant. • You don’t need to wake up at 3am (sleep is good) • You don’t need to constantly train (over-training is real) • You don’t need to be ruthlessly competitive (there’s a dark side) But whatever your craft, you can’t cheat the work. There’s a process to becoming great (at anything). • It requires time, intention and discipline • It demands an unreasonable commitment • It’s not for the lukewarm or the faint-hearted There’s no shortcut to the highest mountains. *** Follow @TMitrosilis for more content like this.

@jwebbttu @Matt_Sayman @Matt_Stepp817 @olballcoach_1 True statement

@Matt_Sayman @Matt_Stepp817 The hours spent trying to replicate some of these moves. I’m sure @olballcoach_1 could execute them all flawlessly.

Still the greatest 🏀 commercial of all time!!

Culture isn’t built in a day. Success isn’t built in a day. Mindset isn’t built in a day. Habits aren’t built in a day. Greatness isn’t built in a day. The foundation isn’t built in a day. It’s built one day at a time. Keep showing up. Keep doing the work. 🪵🪓

10 ways a player can affect a game without scoring: - talk on defense - make the extra pass - sprint the floor - keep their head in a swivel - box out - give high fives - move to create space - listen during timeouts - dive for loose balls - be an encourager when out
