So true @LindaGarza02 Feedback, or if you're in the mindset of 'feed-forward', always makes you stronger. The key is the receiver being in a growth mindset and knowing they are being asked to grow by someone who cares about their success.

Just finished Lead…for God’s Sake! by @ToddGongwer 💪📚
The best leaders are remembered for who they help others become. Not just accomplishments.
That lesson applies for coaching a team, leading a university, or building a business.
What leadership book do you recommend? 🙏

I respectfully ask the NCAA tennis oversight committee to reevaluate the 10 year commitment that was made to Orlando. A decision that was essentially made behind closed doors without giving any campus sites an opportunity to bid on any of those years. I haven't met one athlete, coach, or fan that prefers this tournament be played on off campus sites.
Technically, the player has to request a MTO. The chair calls the trainer to court for evaluation and potential treatment. Chair administers timing and penalties. Then resumes plays.
ITA rulebook section I.K.1 for MTOs (dual matches).
Was there an injury treated?

I can't believe this isn't all over higher ed twitter.
The AIM Committee votes May 18-22 on rewriting US accreditation. (Lower barriers for new accreditors, outcomes-based standards, peer-review elimination, intellectual diversity mandates.)

The best coaches I’ve worked with never acted like they had all the answers.
They stayed coachable.
Reflection may be the most underrated leadership skill.

I didn’t always get planned giving right.
Not because we didn’t believe in it—but because we were busy.
In athletics, “later” usually means never.
The shift:
Don’t add more work.
Go deeper in the conversations you’re already having.
Visit parents in CT. Take my dad to @UConnHuskies hoops game. We are both alumni. His first game. My 1st since 1995!
