SUE BIRD ON LEADERSHIP Leaders take on more responsibility even if it isn't their fault. ~ via @BallisPsych
"The greatest compliment to any player is he is a great teammate. We can't all be great players, but we can all be great teammates" - Jay Bilas
This was sent to me by a well-informed parent: "Interesting tidbit by spinal surgeon….during puberty for every inch of growth and/or 5lbs added, sets the nervous system back 2 months. Parents & coaches need to exercise patience during these growth spurts. Levers change as well…
😂😂👀 The announcer had enough of the parents foolishness! The Refs didn’t even call anything yet!
Trust the people around you who make you better. Leverage them, amplify them and push them. It will only make you better too.

The best compliment you can give/receive in sports....
If you get the chance to step on the field with your teammates this fall,don’t waste a second on what’s missing or what won’t be. Give all your focus to what’s in front of you and hold on tight. Now more than ever we all know the incredible gift having any little piece of it is❤️
2020-2021 Ayden - 5th grade Jaxon - 2nd grade Me - year #18 Kudos to everyone at #WeAreMCUSD who made the start of school happen! It has been unique and challenging, but it certainly has not been without great passion from everyone involved!
Most recent IHSA / ISBE / IDPH contradiction to vent about . . . 50 kids on a yellow bus = OK 12 kids on a white bus to attend an extracurricular activity = NOT OK For transportation to IHSA events we need 6 feet between kids, but for school we don't . . .
18 years in education-this year will undoubtedly be the most challenging in many aspects, however I vow to make the most of it because time is not unlimited. No matter what is thrown our way, we will rise above, make the most of it, and learn a little bit more about perseverance
.@AlanAlderks behind the smiles is a days worth of tears and fighting between these two, but all the nights walking and washing animals was rewarded this time around ❤️

A veteran coach told me early in my coaching career, and it has always stuck with me: If a player shows up late, first ask him, “Is everything OK?” before any sort of punishment or lecture You never know what is going on outside of basketball
Trust the people around you who make you better. Leverage them, amplify them and push them. It will only make you better too.
My team...my heart! This hurt but they played their hearts out and that’s all that I can ask for. I’m so proud of them and what we accomplished this year!💔
💰💰💰
Friday, March 13th, schools across the country were closed or told they would not be retuning to school on Monday. Today, Friday, November 13th, school officials everywhere fear we may be headed in that direction again. My heart goes out to the kids, families & staff. 🙏
"It’s crazy how 1,000 people can compliment you and you’ll spend all day thinking about the one person who criticized you." –@JamesClear
I haven’t been scared of COVID till my sister got the rona and described it as “High School Pacer Test 24/7” So I just Amazoned a hazmat suit
Pedestal or platform? Because of the impact of sports athletes are often put on a pedestal. The problem is there is only room for one on a pedestal. Help them see it as a platform, not a pedestal. A platform has room for many. Train them to use the platform to lift others up too.
This is what happens when COVID hits and your kids think you need a dog and you opt for a mini horse. My 5 month old 70 pound puppy...
Sometimes I think about when I gave a set of reasons in Scotland and said “if I had to smuggle one back through customs it’d be this one” and then later found out she went last with a 6 point cut.

Administrators, If you love your staff (which I know you do) send all staff emails as BCC to help prevent your adored staff members from entering Reply All hell.
My heart is exploding. Thank you so much for the kind words. We need more people like you ❤️
@jennnaaa_3 thank you for coming up to Ogle Co. to judge our little show today. You were phenomenal & it was nice to see Ayden listening to your words and learning. I wish you the best at Texas A&M & look forward to following your success as a leader in the industry!
If you get on social media and bash someone’s job evaluating livestock you probably lost way before you even got to the show. I said what I said.
