6 Rules for Sports Parents:
1. It’s not about you
2. Struggle is part of the deal
3. Don’t ruin the car ride home
4. Your kid is watching you
5. Cheer for the team
6. Enjoy every moment
One day, the games will end.
Make sure the memories don’t.

Shoutout to all the teachers next week who will let their students watch March Madness during class
I don’t remember much of what I learned, but I will always remember the teachers who let me watch the tournament.
We ALL thank you.

Ways to be a better Catholic man:
— Get up early
— Start the day on your knees before God
— Pray the Liturgy of the Hours Faithfully
— Walk frequently, lift heavy, sprint occasionally
— Eat an animal-based, whole foods diet
— Fast occasionally
— Learn to feast well in a way that gives glory to God
— Attend Sunday Mass and occasional daily mass
— Find an adoration chapel and commit to a weekly Holy Hour
— Go to confession monthly (at least)
— Use Friday as a day to pray and sacrifice for people in your life who need it
— Write down your goals and check in on them often
— Examine your conscience daily, learn from your mistakes, thank God for your blessings,
— Get to know your Blessed Mother and ask her for help and intercession
— Get to know your local priests, have them over for meals, pray together, and engage in edifying conversation.
— Get together with other Catholic men to pray, discuss goals/challenges, and find ways to serve the community together.
— Developing a strong reading discipline
— Learn about the virtues and use the concepts to continually evaluate your life and take steps to grow in holiness

— Avoid news/church drama unless it is strictly necessary for the fulfillment of your particular vocation
— Pray for your priests, bishop, and the pope (whether or not you like them)
— Become an outdoorsman, especially if you aren’t one by nature/nurture. Learn to embrace the cold, the sun, the wind, the wet.
— Begin to assemble some saints you particularly admire or have a connection to. Learn about them. Get to know them. Pray for their intercession.
— Get a reading plan and read the Bible and Catechism

Iowa's Ben McCollum brought up the enemy of great is good in his postgame news conference. Interesting comments.
"People sit in mediocrity for a long time because they start to fall in love with really good. I probably had that happen to me when I was in, like, my seventh or eighth year. We went to three straight Sweet 16s and lost by one, two points. ... I always thought we were really good and close. Then I realized that was the biggest issue that we had, was the fact that we were settling for really good."
"Trying to go from really good to being great is something that is really hard to do, and our kids need to understand really good is not acceptable. It's
actually worse than being bad."

Amen, @CoachLouHoltz88 ! Thank you, Coach, for great wisdom and motivation that has affected my life in amazing ways!

This is Pure Gold. I had the pleasure of spending time with Coach Holtz. I wanted to hear him explain his Three Rules for Life! 1) Do what’s right - trust. 2) Do everything to the best of your ability- commitment. 3) Show people you care - love. It’s pretty simple. He goes on to highlight why the transfer portal is ruining college football. The kids are losing out on the life lessons learned- how to persevere, how to be committed to a program and a group of people. You miss out on the bonds you create over 4 years. If you leave, you still have the problem, you are changing the address. These are words to live by.
