@KDJmedia1 Very sorry to hear Kevin. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!

This is my favorite picture of my father and I. It’s from 3 years ago, in his favorite place (Cancun, Mexico) on his 71st birthday. As you can see, the man had great hair and loved a good vacation shirt. Early yesterday morning, Kevin Devaney Sr. passed away after months of health complications. He was 74. While I never imagined I’d ever feel ready to let go, it was his time. He was struggling badly, especially in the final few days. We all got to see him and say our own goodbyes. He’s in a better place now. My mother and my two sisters are at peace. Very few really knew my dad. I used to think that he and I were nothing alike. He had almost no interest in sports. He didn’t play golf. He didn’t have Facebook or Twitter. He was quiet and rarely social. He kept an extremely low profile and a tight circle. My mother was his best friend. Maybe even, his only friend. But as I’ve gotten older, I realized how similar we truly are. I learned to appreciate those qualities. I’ve never known anyone who worked harder, was more loyal and trusting, or cared more about providing for the people he loved. He was honest. He was genuine. He loved to tell a good story. The only thing he ever bragged about was his kids. All of the things I ever want to be in life, my father was. He was, and always will be, my idol. Here’s the greatest thing I can tell you about my dad: My parents 57 years ago today. They left home at 18 years old with almost no money to their name. As people did in the 1960s, they started off for San Francisco to begin a life together. At 23, they had their first child, my sister Karen. During delivery, there were complications and she was soon diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. Doctors told my parents that Karen would never be normal. She had severe brain damage and physical disabilities. My dad didn’t blink. He decided then to not only devote his whole existence to caring for and protecting Karen — knowing he would face the unimaginable challenges of parenting a child with disabilities — he wanted to build a family around her. Soon, my sister Erin and I came along. We learned young about sacrifice and feeling grateful for everything in life. My mother spoiled us. She still does. But my dad’s main focus in life, 51 years later up until the moment he died, was always on my sister Karen. My dad built a successful business. He moved us from a cramped two-bedroom apartment and into a house we dreamed about. He took us on vacations, gave us unforgettable Christmas mornings, got us cars when we turned 16 and put us through college. He always ensured my mom got all the credit. As the son of Irish immigrants, he was the American Dream. We never wanted for anything. He sacrificed to provide an amazing life for us and asked for absolutely nothing in return. I’m 43 now and I believe my father taught me the keys to life: Love your wife. Love your children. And do whatever it takes for them. KDS never wanted attention for anything. But for one day, I’d like to give it to him. Nothing makes me prouder than looking at the “Jr” at the end of my name. I hope I made him proud, too. RIP Dad.

Cy, Sealed, Delivered. It’s Yours, @GerritCole45

Be grateful for adversity, it tests your character. Be grateful for obstacles, they test your commitment. Be grateful for pressure, it tests your preparation. Be grateful for challenges, they test your strength. Be grateful distractions, they test your focus. Keep showing up.

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. 🪵🪓

Your natural athleticism may let you excel in high school, but don’t let that lead you to believe that the situation can’t change. College athletics is a whole new set of challenges. You won’t succeed without a tremendous work ethic. Develop it now. The next level will demand it!

Playing multiple sports in high school is a good thing. Some of the best pros in the world didn’t specialize in high school. Being well-rounded is important. Student council, music, arts, working a job.. Do many things in high school to build a well-rounded foundation for your future. Operating within multiple social circles = growth. If you play baseball and are on the debate team you will be a part of two distinct cultures. If you play football and basketball you will progress in a multitude of ways based on the different roles you play on each team, the different styles of coaching, and the culture of each program. Maybe you are all-conference in volleyball but a backup in basketball which you worked equally as hard in. This will teach you a lot about discipline, being a great teammate, role acceptance, and leadership. Adding a part-time job to your schedule in high school is another great way to become well-rounded and create a foundation for the future. It will teach you how to answer to authority, how to work with others, customer service, how to stand up for yourself, money management and more. Diversity in activities and social circles is important. It can be a generational talent like Aaron Judge playing three sports. It can look like a kid at a large school who participates in one sport, one non-sport extracurricular, and works part time. It can be the small school kid who does everything and still helps out with the family business. It’s important for high school students to load up on activities which stimulate personal, academic, and future growth and avoid spending countless hours staring at screens playing video games, scrolling on TikTok, and watching TV.

Practice as if everyone is watching. Perform as if no one is watching.
