Nick Saban asked his team a simple question: “Do we have show dogs on the team, or do we have hunting dogs?” Show dogs want to be seen. Hunting dogs want to win. The answer tells you everything about your culture. 🏆

Rick Pitino was asked what stops people from being great. His answer was one word. "Ego stops greatness. I call it edging greatness out." "In a spiritual sense, ego is edging God out. But ego is edging greatness out." And he made a key distinction: "I'm not talking about confidence. You have to be a confident person." "But ego really gets you to where you think you've arrived. You think you know it all. You stop learning. You stop listening." That's the trap. Confidence keeps you hungry. Ego convinces you that you've already made it. You lose your hunger and humility. "Learning and listening are important for great leaders. Great leaders have to listen and they have to continue to learn and surround themselves with people that are better than them." EGO = Edging Greatness Out The moment you think you've arrived is the moment you stop growing. Stay confident. Stay humble. Never stop learning. (🎥@LewisHowes )

@PBURG_Wrestling @MylesTakats174 Awesome group of kids and coaches that don't give on standards. Congratulations guys!

WITH BURNETT WIN WE ARE THE 2026 D1 TEAM STATE CHAMPIONS!!!!

There will be no afternoon weight lifting today.

The weight room is the most influential room in a school. It’s not a place to hang out — it’s a classroom. A place where habits are built, standards are set, and character is developed.

No morning lifting Thursday due to fog delay.

Lou Holtz looking back at life: "How lucky I am to be married to the person I am, to be in the country we have, to have the children we have... I don't think you live your life in regrets... you can be happy or sad, that's your choice. I choose to be happy." Rest in Peace 🙏

“The will to win is not nearly as important as the will to prepare to win. Everyone wants to win but not everyone wants to prepare to win.” ― Bobby Knight

After a great conversation with @Coach_Noll, I’m extremely blessed and grateful to have received an offer from @LafColFootball!! Can’t wait to get on campus! #AGTG @CoachKBaumann @AllenTrieu @ChadSimmons_ @GregSmithRivals @dirk_conner @PerrysburgFB

I’m in love with this sentence: “The degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth he can accept about himself without running away.”

Do you want know what coaching is really all about? Watch Brad Underwood explain why coaches coach. 100% spot on. 🥇

I am excited to announce my committment to the University at Albany. Special thanks to all the soccer, baseball, and football coaches have supported, developed, and believed in me over the years. Thanks @UACoachPerk and @CoachKLars for this opportunity to be a Great Dane. @UAlbanyFootball #UAUKNOW

Top tier response from a college coach that I had to share… This is straight from the source: they’re not recruiting talent alone — they’re recruiting discipline, accountability, effort, and character. SWFL Hoopers/Families- Free Game @CoachMelDub24

Students who get As spend more time on homework, hanging out in-person and reading for fun. Students who get Ds and Fs spend more time playing video games, scrolling their phones and accessing social media.

Lifting weights is associated with better academic performance.
