Kids on division 1 visits, kids receiving division 1 and division 2 college offers. Not bad for a small 2A school I guess 🤷🏾♂️

After having a great conversation with the coaching staff, I am very blessed to receive a Division 1 offer from University of Wisconsin Green Bay #UWGB

In 1990, more than a third of the planet lived in extreme poverty. Today it's under 10 percent.
Over a billion people climbed out in a single generation. The fastest, largest escape from poverty in human history.
It didn't come from government aid or charity. It came from capitalism.
Free markets, private property and trade.
When people are free to start a business, own what they build and sell it, they lift themselves out of poverty. Every time. Everywhere it's been tried.
Nothing in history has lifted more people out of poverty.

Nobody tells you when you’re a kid that one random Sunday at Grandma’s house will eventually be the last time everyone is there at the same time.
The cousins are running in and out of the house.
Somebody’s yelling, “STOP SLAMMING THAT DOOR!”
The adults are sitting around the kitchen table talking about things you couldn’t care less about.
There’s food everywhere.
Someone is asleep in a recliner.
You can hear the TV from the other room.
You’re bored half the time and begging to go home.
And you have absolutely no idea that you are standing inside a memory you will spend the rest of your life wishing you could walk back into.
Then everybody grows up.
The cousins move away.
People get married.
Families get busy.
Grandparents get older.
The house gets sold.
Some people stop speaking.
Some people are no longer here.
And suddenly you’d give just about anything to sit at that kitchen table for ten more minutes and hear everybody’s voices coming from different rooms.
The older I get, the more I realize…
We weren’t “just going to Grandma’s house.”
We were going to the one place where our entire family still belonged to each other.
And somehow none of us realized it was temporary.
If you had a house like that growing up, you were richer than you knew. 🤍
Whose house was “the house” in your family?

Bad coaches and trainers prey on parents and players who overestimate their ability. They sell them exactly what they want to hear: “Your coach just doesn’t see how talented you are. Keep coming to me - I’ll get you to college.”
Good coaches tell you the truth. Bad ones sell you a dream.

I’ve seen more parents derail their kids sports journeys than kids derailing their own.

Perspective changes everything.
“I grew up watching my dad wake up at 4:30 for a job he didn’t like. So if I can’t wake up early and work hard at a job I do like, I shouldn’t be playing football.”
Powerful words from Cam Ward.
Gratitude and grit.

Read this slowly.
Before her passing from stomach cancer, the iconic designer Cressida Rodriguez left behind a chilling reminder of what actually matters when the curtain falls:
"I had the most expensive cars parked in my garage, but now I move in a wheelchair."
"My closets were filled with couture and luxury, but my body is now wrapped in a standard hospital gown."
"I had millions in the bank, but not a single dollar could purchase a second of extra time."
"My home was built like a palace, yet I finish my life in a narrow hospital bed."
"I used to sign autographs for crowds, but today I only sign medical consent forms."
"I used seven personal stylists for my hair, and now I have none left to comb."
"I flew across the world on private jets, but now it takes two people just to help me reach the doorway."
"I could feast on anything on earth, yet my dinner has shrunk to two pills and a few drops of saline."
"None of the fame, the money, the cars, or the glory can comfort you in the end. There is nothing more real than life, and nothing more certain than death."
You are richer than you think if you woke up today with breath in your lungs, strength in your legs, and a quiet plate of food in front of you.
Do not wait for a diagnosis to start appreciating the ordinary. Hold your health close, cherish the people around you, and be deeply grateful for the simple gift of today.

It’s not easy to play for winning coaches. They’ll hold you accountable, push you beyond your comfort zone, demand excellence, and expect you to respond when things get hard. There will be days when you’re frustrated, uncomfortable, and challenged.
But for the athletes who are willing to embrace it, it’s worth it. Winning programs aren’t built by avoiding adversity - they’re built by learning how to overcome it.

Michael Jordan says losing is not the opposite of winning, it is just another part of winning
“I hate losing. It’s not even a question. But I have to respect losing…”
“Because losing is a part of winning. You never just win. You’ve got to lose to win.”
“Losing is going to hurt… To a point where you look at… How can I do things different? How can I change? How can I make this team better?”
“Before you can look at someone else… You’ve got to look at yourself in the mirror. That’s how things get started. You’ve got to be willing to change.”

Rick Pitino explains why selfless teams win.
“When you play for the name on the front, the back prospers.”
“When you play for the name on the back, you never prosper. All you are is guys with good stats.”
Great teams play for each other.
They know connected teams achieve more.

Coach K shares a universal truth about failure, resilience, and growth.
"When you're getting your butt kicked, it's called changing a limit."
"So many parents today don't allow their kids to change limits...They're worried about them failing instead of learning. You learn through the experience of failure and success."
Growth requires discomfort. You have to be willing to look bad before you get better.
The problem isn't failure - it's protecting people from it.
"Failure was never a destination."
You can't grow without accepting that there will be challenges and adversity.

Rich Paul tells Max Kellerman he tells these AAU kids who are scoring 40 pts & dominating ball if maxing NIL earnings is your goal then, cool. For generational wealth, study Tobias Harris plays without ball, embraces role. 450 NBA players, only 30 are 1s rest are role players.
