The Maley Way

Episode 2 of the Podcast: “Mother Knows Best.” This is all about how my mom was able to convince me to seek help, but also how she encouraged me to Share My Story. It can be found wherever you get your podcasts. open.spotify.com/episode/6TQoIj…

My favorite possession of a great year at Oak Forest. Not a set… Princeton as a concept: 1️⃣Rub 2️⃣Under 3️⃣Exit Screen 4️⃣Ohio 5️⃣UCLA 6️⃣2 points.

Sat down with my former 1st team all-state @ConantHoops player Ryan Davis. He went on to star at @UVMmbb where he became the a 2-time conference POY. He courageously shares his mental health journey in this episode. Very proud of him. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

One of the guys I looked up to as a kid was Rob Fischer. He was drafted by the @Yankees and played Center Field for the @IlliniBaseball. Tragically he died by suicide last year. His brother came on the podcast and was spectacular. Give it a watch. youtu.be/W7GRj7Swbxk?si…

Congratulations to @stlbaseball1 and @STL_Athletics. No one works harder than Pete and Adam Lotus. What a great accomplishment. I knew it would happen at some point. @StLaurenceVikes are state champs.

Good night @ChuckHare33. Payback is coming…. And I knew @tylerboston0 was the instigator

@PaulsenDave @ChuckHare33 @tylerboston0 I feel like this could be a great recruiting tool. The guys are comfortable enough to prank call their coach and the coach is able to joke around about it. It’s real and it’s funny

@PaulsenDave Love guys with the “men and women for others” mentality.

Hard to believe you could find 3 better representatives of the Jesuit ideal of “men and women for others!” Congrats to Aidan, CK and Matty on your graduation. You are leaving this school and our program in a better spot than when you arrived. #ProudCoach

In honor of our graduates tomorrow, I speak fluent teenager to talk about Episode 5 of the podcast: What Not To Say. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

3 Certainties in Life: Death. Taxes. Waiting Until The Perfect Moment To Begin A Massive Cleanup Before Mom Gets Home.

Episode 4: The Game Has Changed. It’s all about being willing to share your struggles. If you are able to do so, they are willing to listen. And if they are listening, they might learn. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

@michaelsobrien Agreed very good guy. Was welcoming when I was a player and a coach.

Vince Carter is one of Chicago's best people. Over the years Vince has taught me so much about Chicago, race and basketball. I'm lucky to call him a friend. Huge congratulations on this honor. youtube.com/watch?v=DPZwIp…

Thank You to @bgreese of @SteveDahlShow for helping me create a podcast. I enjoy doing it because I’m able to speak in greater detail about what I touch on in my presentation. Here is the first Episode “The Stubborn Irishman.” open.spotify.com/episode/7owZvd…

I sometimes was embarrassed with how outgoing my mom was. She knew and talk to everyone including the guys that used to referee my games when I played. Here’s a funny story about that. These things that embarrassed me are what I miss the most.

An Alaskan Cruise? Nope. A tropical resort? Too Cliche. Disney with the Kids? Nah, I’m more of a Wisconsin Dells guy myself. The Maley Way will instead be headed to Glen Ellyn to speak on Wednesday, March 26th and Thursday, March 27th. @GWHilltoppers

Congrats to @BR_Hoops and Coach Stamas. Almost a 1/4 century later and Coach is going back downstate. Have to say, I was extremely impressed with how this team shares the ball when I watched them. Very fun to watch. Guys really seemed to understand and thrive in their roles.

Sports, especially baseball, are great teachers of mental toughness and next play mentality. As parents, teachers, and coaches, we need to build mental toughness while recognizing that mental illness is a whole different ballgame.

This clip from @BillSimmons documentary series is all my dad and needed to see to know that it deserves every award out there. Oscar, Emmy, maybe even a Grammy. @GoHolyCross turned me from a kid scared of his own shadow to a person that now speaks in front of large groups.

Students from the suburbs aren’t so different from those in rural Illinois. I learned that today at @UnitedCUSD304 in Monmouth. During a heavy part of my talk, I mentioned I’m 6’7”—cue the giggles. That moment of levity helped me push through, and I appreciated it.

This Friday, traveling to Monmouth, IL to speak to @UnitedUHS students and staff about Mental Health. Very excited for this opportunity to spread the message outside of the Chicagoland area.
