Dr David W Bertrand

Here’s a good opportunity to give to a great cause @WeSeeHope ! Soon I’ll climb Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak at just shy of 20,000ft, to raise money & support this worthy cause. Every little bit helps. Thanks 4 considering a donation today! @david-bertrand" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">charity.pledgeit.org/climbingforcha…

@mattmosley @franfraschilla @TexasTechMBB Let’s see what G-Mo can do!

.@franfraschilla was really the only guy outside Lubbock who predicted @TexasTechMBB could make it this far. Just for the record.

Being a lifelong learner isn’t about taking pride in your knowledge. It's about having the humility to know what you don’t know. My top 23 insights from 2023 🧵

Love this. "Enough courage to get started + enough sense to focus on something you’re naturally suited for + enough persistence to stay in the game long enough to catch a few lucky breaks + a lot of hard work. There’s your recipe." -@JamesClear

Admitting that we have something to learn doesn’t just show humility. It improves relationships. When we acknowledge that we don't know everything, others feel more psychologically safe—and become more effective. Expressing our desire to get better can help others get better.

@uiltexas @GraceMcDowell30 Who is taking leadership of TX AD’s and HS coaches, both in word & in action, to another level? @GraceMcDowell30 is. EXCELLENT choice @uiltexas 💥

We are thrilled to welcome @GraceMcDowell30 to the UIL staff as Assistant Athletic Director! We look forward to having her on our team!

@mattmosley @KimMulkey @JRDerrick58 That is stinking cool

I jokingly asked if @KimMulkey wanted to grab lunch today, knowing she has a pretty big game tonight. She told me I had 20 minutes to get to Wingbucket. Great to see @JRDerrick58 too.

@OfficialTHSADA @GraceMcDowell30 @Friscoisdsports Incredible leader!! A++

Grace McDowell arrived in the Frisco ISD in 2002, leaving footprints in both coaching and administration and at the MS and HS levels. If 'Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change' then retired Frisco ISD athletic director David Kuykendall offered Grace quite high praise: “She is someone who is constantly looking at new ways to do things.” @friscoisd

@OfficialTHSADA Great choice!

Congratulations to the new President-elect of the Texas High School Athletic Directors Association...Leslie Slovak-Richardson ISD

@EmmanuelAcho Where do you want to go eat?

Question: You have a loved one who plays for TCU, what’s the first thing you say to them after the game?

Well this doesn’t happen everyday on a random ✈️ . Sic ‘em Bears, go Baylor hoops!!!! One of the best, Coach Scott Drew @BUDREW. Keep up the great work and spread JOY 💥

David Bertrand recently hosted The Athletic Director Roundtable on Developing Coaches for DFW-area athletic directors. Attendees discussed strategies for developing student athletes and coaches and toured the new Indoor Performance Center during this event.

Thanks to SMU and David Bertrand for hosting the DFW AD’s today for a round table discussion! Got a look at their new indoor performance center. Will be a game changer for recruiting!

Shout out to @AlbertAshleigh for bringing Dr. David Bertrand, Professor for Sports Performance Leadership at SMU, to speak at the Captains Leadership meeting today. This was part of her Lead Project for @parishepiscopal Leadership Institute. @smu @vanessafuquay @dmonaco

When you follow a leader, consider what would lead you to withdraw your support. If the answer is nothing, your integrity is in jeopardy. Your highest loyalty belongs to principles, not people. No leader deserves unconditional love. Commitment is earned through character.
