Coaches ask yourself if your practice plan does the following:
“The plan responded to reality, not the other way around.”

Parents/Coaches:
The secret sauce to increasing a young child’s drive for sport skill development is learning how to make it “fun” not work. If you have to push them, something in the process is not right.
The biggest threat to leadership is seldom the power of open opposition but frequently exists in the treachery of pretended support. #BeWise
The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant."

Life is a battlefield, not a playground. That's why we strive to be a Triple Threat every day. In 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Paul shows us what a Triple Threat looks like:
BE joyful always.
PRAY continually.
GIVE thanks in all circumstances.

Winning basketball is a game of habits. Discipline practice routines mature into game growth. Foundational drills enhance two-way skills. Core staples are 1) passing 2) shooting 3) cutting 4) defending 5) rebounding. Values!

9/14 🤔’s from Denver 🏔️🌅😎
I was reading this morning and found this post in my journal from @TheJohnCMaxwell
The Miracle of Teamwork
At age 40 I realized that my success wasn’t going to be determined by my gifts,my abilities or my opportunities. It was going to be determined by whether or not I could develop a great team.
“The Law of the Inner Circle” says those closest to you determine the level of your success.
My team makes me better than I am.
My team multiplies my value to others.
My team enables me to do what I do best.
My team allows me to help others do their best.
My time gives me more freedom and time.
My team provides me with companionship.
My team helps me fulfill the desires of my heart.
My team compounds my vision and my effort.
T-E-A-M…..Together everyone achieves more.
“It marks a big step in your own development when you come to realize that other people can help you do a better job than you can do alone.”

“The things you say to you about yourself, about God, and about life are very, very important because they are formative of the way you act and react to the things God places in your life.” @PaulTripp

25 years ago today Welles Crowther gave his life helping others on 9/11. This is the best story @espn has ever done. Share it with your kids and any others who may not have been alive on 9/11 and don’t know what true bravery in the face of evil is.

TWO THINGS CAN BE TRUE AT THE SAME TIME.
If you’ve been through something really hard and you’re struggling to find hope, I think John 10:10 speaks directly to that place:
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
At first, that almost seems contradictory.
Jesus acknowledges that there are things in this life that can steal from us, hurt us, and even feel like they are destroying us. Yet in the very same verse, He tells us that He came so we could have an abundant life.
Maybe that’s the point. Two things can be true at the same time. You can be hurting and still have hope. You can be grieving and still experience joy. You can be disappointed and still believe God is working. You can walk through a dark season and still have light in your life.
Life can be really hard AND God can still be really good.
Feelings are real, but feelings are not always facts. When life gets heavy, I’ve found it helpful to return to what I know is true. Go back to Scripture. Go back to the promises of God. Go back to John 10:10.
The thief may try to STEAL. KILL. DESTROY. But Jesus came to give LIFE.
And not just survival.
ABUNDANT LIFE.
Your circumstances may be difficult today, but difficult circumstances do not get the final word. Jesus does.
A > SKD
ABUNDANCE > STEAL. KILL. DESTROY.
John 10:10

Great leadership begins with better questions.
These 10 questions will challenge your heart before they challenge your strategy. Lead with humility. Lead with purpose. Lead like Christ.
Which question hit you the hardest?

This fall I’ll be working with the University of Illinois Springfield men’s basketball team working on culture and leadership development.
In a time when skill exists everywhere, the separator is culture and mental makeup.
I couldn’t be more excited to work with this team.

I believe there are two key ingredients to living an impactful, meaningful life:
Know who you are.
Know how you are perceived by others.
The first requires self-awareness.
The second requires social awareness.
Your character is who you really are.
Your reputation is who other people think you are.
Both matter.
Your character helps you sleep at night. Your reputation helps open doors, build trust, and create new opportunities.
And ideally, the two are aligned.
You don’t have complete control over your reputation. You can’t control what everyone thinks, says, or believes about you.
But you do have control over your character — how you show up, how you treat people, the standards you uphold, and the choices you make when no one is watching.
And over time, your character will heavily influence your reputation.
Know who you are. Know how you’re perceived. Then work to close the gap between the two.
