🏀 POLL: If Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham left the WNBA, would you still watch the league? 👍 Yes, I'd keep watching. 👎 No, I'd only follow Caitlin and Sophie through highlights and clips. 🤔 Undecided Cast your vote below. ⬇️

@DickieV @CaitlinClark22 @WNBA 💯

It is amazing that @CaitlinClark22 who has brought so much publicity for the @WNBA has to take so much abuse from many of those that she has helped financially since her arrival .The physical pounding she takes is totally UNACCEPTABLE! espn.com/wnba/story/_/i…

@Riley_Gaines_ 💯 agree!!!

You wouldn't be able to find an organization more insistent on self-imploding than the WNBA

@WNBAComms Too little too late. Do better!!!!

Phoenix Mercury’s Alyssa Thomas Receives Flagrant Foul 2 Penalty and a One-Game Suspension

@jasonwhitlock I don’t know if it’s DEI but it’s awful. A complete embarrassment to anyone that officiates. The league will self implode as they run Clark out of the league.

WNBA officiating is awful because its hiring is based on DEI, not merit.

@WNBA officiating in the @IndianaFever game is atrocious. Do better!

@CoachLync Fleck

🪾 PJ Fleck’s Western Michigan Manual was different. Culture. Nutrition. Locker room standards. Mental toughness. “Row The Boat” Say “FLECK” ↓ and I’ll send it.

@CoachLync @TomCrean Crean

TOM CREAN’S 👀 SELF-IMPROVEMENT BOOKLET 37 pages of ball-handling, shooting, agility, daily structure. Developed by @TomCrean: • OG Anunoby → ranked #221 • Dwyane Wade → unranked • Victor Oladipo → outside Top 100 ↓ Drop “CREAN” and I’ll send it.

@IndianaFever @IowaWBB Pretty amazing it required a recount 😳

Caitlin Clark is officially the first player in WNBA history to record multiple games of 30+ points and 10+ assists 🔥 Stats from Friday's game against the Mystics have been corrected, so she finished the game with 32 points & 10 assists 👏

E + R = O You can’t control every event. You can control every response. And your response influences your outcome. Not theory. Discipline. Train it daily. #NeverStopGettingBetter

@jperry_nixa Congratulations Coach. Can’t wait to add to my library.

It's official. After more than 30 years on the sideline. After the losses that broke me and the wins that built me. After the fires, the fights, and the seasons I wasn't sure I'd survive — I wrote a book. NEVER STOP GETTING BETTER: Becoming Who You Were Meant to Be. This is a book I decided to write because I am more like you, than unlike you. Because I was that coach. The undisciplined one. The one who made many mistakes. The one who had to drive home and look his family in the eyes and say... I got let go today, we will be moving! And in that valley — I discovered the truth that changed my entire life: You can choose to get better. Or you can choose to get worse. But there is no standing still. #NSGB This book is my story. Every hard lesson. Every championship. Every moment I wanted to quit and didn't. And I believe — with everything in me — that it can become YOUR story too. Pre-order details coming soon. Drop a 🔥 in the comments if you want to be first to know. Let's ride. 🏆 #NeverStopGettingBetter #NSGB #BookLaunch #Leadership #GrowthMindset #JohnPerry #NeverQuit #Coaching #MentalToughness #BecomeWhoYouWereMeantToBe

20 Takeaways we shared at the Chicago Glazier Clinic 1. Never Get Bored With the Basics Championship programs don’t chase complexity. They master simplicity. Block. Tackle. Protect the football. Take it away. The best teams repeat the fundamentals until excellence becomes automatic. 2. Fundamentals Create Outcomes You don’t get the ball security you want… You get the ball security you practice every day. Priorities show up in the stats. 3. Great Teams Win the Week Championship seasons are built on championship weeks. Design your week intentionally. Practice with purpose. Protect your players’ energy. Consistency beats chaos. 4. Efficiency Wins The best practices are fast, focused, and intentional. Short periods. High tempo. Clear purpose. Wasted time is wasted opportunity. 5. Safety Builds Trust When families trust your program, athletes show up. Smart practice structure Player safety = Program growth. Culture starts with trust. 6. Depth Is Built Through Recruiting Inside the School Programs don’t grow accidentally. They grow when coaches recruit the hallways. Find kids. Build relationships. Give them a place to belong. 7. Special Teams Win Hidden Games If you score a lot… You better be ready for onside kicks. The teams that win the hidden yardage win the close games. 8. Discipline Beats Emotion Great coaches don’t guess in big moments. They prepare decision frameworks: • Two-point chart • Kneel-down chart • Situational planning Preparation removes panic. 9. Practice the Rare Events Games are lost in situations teams never practiced. Fake punts. Onside kicks. End-of-game clock management. Rehearse chaos so chaos doesn’t beat you. 10. Creativity Still Matters Good coaches run plays. Great coaches understand psychology. Gadget plays create energy, belief, and momentum. Football is strategy and emotion. 11. Build Your System Around Your Players Don’t force players into your system. Build a system that fits your players. Adaptation is coaching. 12. Belief Is a Multiplier When leaders believe, teams believe. When teams believe, performance explodes. Belief spreads through a program like wildfire. 13. No BCD Great programs eliminate three habits: No Blaming No Complaining No Defensiveness Ownership is the culture. 14. Track Your Time Like a Professional Everyone gets 168 hours a week. Winners don’t “find time.” They allocate it intentionally. 15. Leaders Seek Mentors The fastest way to grow is to learn from people already doing it well. Go find the best. Ask questions. Study their system. Great coaches stay curious. 16. Vision Drives Everything Every program needs a clear target. “Our vision: Be the best program in the state of Missouri and intentionally build leaders.” Clarity creates alignment. 17. Goals Become Real When You Write Them People who write their goals are far more likely to achieve them. Carry them. Review them. Live them. 18. Technology Should Help You Learn Faster Great leaders document everything. Record meetings. Capture ideas. Review lessons. Learning speed is a competitive advantage. 19. Recruit Every Year Recruiting isn’t just for college football. Every January 1: Re-recruit your players. Re-recruit your staff. Re-recruit your culture. 20. Programs Win When Leaders Serve The goal isn’t just winning games. The goal is building people. Football becomes the classroom.
