Being positive doesn’t mean you don’t get frustrated. It doesn’t mean you don’t get fired up. It means you are resilient in the face adversity and you respond in a positive way. When things don’t go your way sometimes the most positive thing you can do is turn fear into fuel, frustration into focus and failure into finishing strong!

@thinktankfranks We were there today. It’s for the inauguration.

I know people are covering this and speculating on it already, but it’s definitely strange. The heck are they building? This is the most clear footage I’ve seen so far of this new structure.

What a surprise this morning from some @westlimestonehs staff who dressed up as a page from the book How to Be a Coffee Bean @JonGordon11 @damonwest7 that I read each morning during announcements! It was a GREAT day to be a WILDCAT and the perfect ending to Principal’s Month!

This is truth! 🙌

There is no such thing as a “behavior problem” kid in school. Behaviors are never the problem. They are always solutions to problems. #education #teachers #backtoschool #thatonekid

Attendance matters. All day, every day. With September being National Attendance Awareness Month, let's help students build a habit of good attendance early and often.

So true! 🙌

In 1992, Kurt Warner was a backup quarterback at the University of Northern Iowa. He was more talented than the starter, but he never got on the field. Warner asked his friend to ask the coaches why he wasn’t playing. The response changed the way Warner approached the game and his life. The coaches said, "The reason you're not starting is that you're not very good in practice." The response shocked Warner. He knew he could throw better than the other QBs. He outshined them when the lights came on whether it was spring ball or the game. But then he started to think about it. He realized that almost 99% of the time the coaches and teammates saw him was in practice. This moment shifted his mindset and perspective. Warner said, "That was one of the greatest lessons that I ever learned about life and about football. You have to bring it every day. You got to show me what to expect from you every single day." He realized that every moment is a moment to lead by example. How you do one thing is how you do everything. In life, he realized that people watch what you do all of the time, not just when the lights are on or not just for one moment. That moment changed everything for him. He started to take practice seriously and results started to appear. In 1993, Kurt Warner was the starting quarterback for the University of Northern Iowa. He led the team to an 8-4 season with over 2,500 yards and 17 TDs. He was invited to training camp with the Green Bay Packers and that was just the beginning for him. Takeaway 1: Be the Example and Lead by Example In every aspect of life, not just sports, people often observe and judge us based on our consistent behavior and actions. To inspire and motivate others, it's essential to consistently demonstrate the qualities and behaviors we wish to see in ourselves and those around us. Takeaway 2: Value Feedback and Embrace Growth Growth is a habit and a choice. Feedback might not always be easy to hear or accept, but it's your choice whether to grow from it or deny it. You have to honest with yourself on where there are opportunities to grow. Whether in sports, career, or personal development, being open to constructive criticism and actively seeking opportunities for growth can lead to greater success and achievement. "If you're willing to put yourself and your dreams on the line, at the very least you'll discover an inner strength you may not have known existed." - Kurt Warner - - - Follow @coachajkings for more content like this!
