I spoke to @CoachCoriClose @UCLAWBB in October about the 7 Commitments of a Great Team. I had very little to do with their championship but their connection and commitment was everything and drove their talent toward greatness. If you want to be a committed team you must be a connected team.

Reflection > advice
When coaches do the thinking, teachers depend.
When teachers do the thinking, they grow.
How do you keep reflection at the center of your coaching? 👇

NEW: Oklahoma high school principal seen charging at and disarming a school shooter in footage obtained by @SHumphreyTV.
Pauls Valley High School Principal Kirk Moore is being called a hero after getting shot while stopping a school shooter.
The suspect, identified as 20-year-old Victor Hawkins, was a former student who said he wanted to shoot up the school “like the Columbine shooters did.”
While taking down the shooter, Moore was shot in the leg. He is expected to recover and says he is looking forward to returning to work as soon as possible.
"I look forward to returning to work as soon as possible so that I may continue my life’s work educating the next generation of Oklahoma leaders. Until then, my thoughts are with our outstanding students, safe today in the arms of their families and friends," he said.
Hero!

Winning becomes possible when nobody is obsessed with being the reason for it.
No one fighting for the spotlight.
No one worried about who gets mentioned.
Just people locked in, doing their job, making the extra effort, and putting the team above themselves.

Track & field is one of the last places in a school where the football captain, the valedictorian, the band kid, the wrestler, and the quiet kid who never thought he belonged can all wear the same jersey.
Track does not care what a kid’s last name is, how much money he has, what side of town he lives on, or how popular he is. Out here, none of that matters. Somewhere between the workouts, the bus rides, and the meets, kids who might never have spoken to each other start to build real respect.
It is hard not to respect somebody when you have seen what they are willing to push through and how much they are willing to give.
That is a big reason track & field will always mean more to me than just times, marks, and points.

In case an educator out there needs a positive nudge to explore this idea...

For more than a decade, a seventh-grade math teacher used technology in his classroom. This year, he took the Chromebooks away—and quickly learned how the computers were holding his students back, Jenny Anderson writes. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/04/…

Cori Close: “Coach Wooden always said, ‘You gotta do it the way you’re wired to do it, not the way anyone else is.’ I just tried imperfectly to stay true to that.”

Men making fun of their friends to their faces but standing up for them behind their backs is a fundamental component of male trust and friendship.

This is what I'm talkin' about! This was UCLA John Wooden-style basketball. It makes perfect sense, because John Wooden was UCLA coach Cori Close's mentor. Every other Tuesday for 15 years, Close met with John Wooden.

One of the big discussion points from our How Do We Learn? book study was active learning—learning by thinking. Students need to actively think about the learning object, seek meaning, and connect it to their prior knowledge to make learning meaningful.
This has major implications for how we design learning activities:
✅Clearly define learning objectives
✅Ensure students spend more time thinking about the learning object than not
✅Avoid unnecessary details or context
✅Prioritize tasks that require thinking and meaning-making—explaining, summarizing, analyzing, comparing
I also shared how Project Zero’s Visible Thinking Routines have long been one of my favorite ways to promote learning by thinking in this way.
Here’s a reference document I created a few years ago that categorizes the routines based on the type of thinking you want to emphasize 👇

Sean McVay on creating "togetherness":
When you love the person next to you, effort stops being a requirement, and it becomes a reflex:
⚙️ Connection creates an extra gear.
🤝 Standards become shared, not forced.
❤️ Culture isn’t built in meetings, it’s forged thru relationships.
You rise to the level of the people you’re connected to!

Before he got to Michigan, Dusty May started working with a former high school principal and education expert who has studied the cognitive science behind high-performing teachers.
It speaks to a larger idea: the benefits of coaching like a teacher. nytimes.com/athletic/71678…

I don't how many times in the past I convinced myself that I had learned something simply because "I knew my notes well." In this discussion I learned why I had been going about it all wrong.

👇I love this from Bobby Hurley.
💥If you are a teacher or coach you need to push people beyond their self-imposed limitations.
‼️If you are an athlete, be thankful when a teacher or coach pushes you beyond your comfort zone.
