The most undercoached skill in your program? Effort. TJ McConnell said it best: “I genuinely believe that playing hard is a skill, because if it wasn’t, everyone would do it.” You can’t just demand it. You have to develop it. x.com/OldManAndThree…

Kobe with a message on anxiety & fear that everyone needs to hear.

Confidence comes from work. If you only touch a basketball in November, or once a week, your confidence isn’t real. It’s fragile. It can be taken by a coach, a crowd, or a better opponent in seconds. Real confidence shows up when you’ve put in the work daily. When you’ve already seen it, felt it, and done it over and over.

TOP GUN 3 is officially in the works at Paramount, with Tom Cruise set to return. 🎬

"Ramble On" is 56 years old and Robert Plant just walked onto The Late Show and made it sound like he wrote it this morning.

Wayne Wicker of @opalinvest_ is leaning into mid-caps and looking for market overreactions (while under-reacting himself), Brian O'Connor on his @NYTimes piece on some overlooked concerns for target-date fund investors & @Bullet86 talks stocks in the #MoneyLifeMarketCall.


Mike Leach shares a must-listen postgame message on resilience, adversity, and failure. "Nothing is really, really, really fun unless it's hard. Nothing is really fun unless it's hard." "We've got to embrace that things are gonna be hard. We've got to embrace to be excited when things are hard." Successful people don't fear obstacles - they embrace them. "You gotta embrace to be excited about it being hard and playing extremely hard." "Even if you get way up on somebody, you want to be as hard as you possibly can because you're pushing yourself. And all of a sudden you're making great plays, you're doing things that you've never done before." Growth requires discomfort. You have to be willing to look bad before you get better. Then he ended with one line: "Embrace the fact that it's hard. Never hope that it's easy." If you only chase what's easy, you'll never become great. Embrace the hard because that is where growth, success, and character are built. (🎥 Washington State)
