New youth sports data is out from @AspenInstSports via @TheSFIA. Findings from 2025 include:
Tennis & golf participation surges
Flag football keeps growing
Low-income kids are being left behind
Fewer adults are coaching
My analysis: projectplay.org/news/youth-s…
I had a fun time creating & implementing an AI assignment through FSU's AI Sparks program! This assignment had students debate with a persona (a registered sports dietitian) on whether youth athletes should keep food logs. The infographic has students' key takeaways!
This happens in every field. I see it in academia ALL the time (especially the promote). Saw it just today actually. What does this look like on your field?
This! Saw this on the wall at USAFA. The thing is still the thing. How you adapt & what you learn about it or yourself is what changes. Think about that when you think something is too difficult or you “can’t” etc.
Stress, anxiety, bad days can lead to impulses. Before you make a decision or choice, slow yourself down. Are you making the situation bigger than what it is? Will you regret the decision later? It can help to have trusted others help you think through things too!
Read about how to apply the Healthy Mind Platter to your day for a “better” brain!
Enjoyed this post from @DrBuning for @PrepSoftball on how to have a healthy mind for better softball performance. 🧠

Seeing people finally catching up to psy. with the building confidence talk: "You don't need more *confidence; you need more evidence" talk. Not wrong. Evidence is big; there are other sources to consider too. Enter Bandura's self-efficacy theory: Credit simplypsychology.org/self-ef…
*Confidence & efficacy are two different constructs. Credit psychologyexposed.com/self-e…
Happy National Coaches day to all you coaches out there! A special shoutout to our FSU coaching students & alum! athleticcoaching.fsu.edu/

In the 34yrs I’ve been in sports, I can’t remember hearing about an injury like this. This affects every coach, athlete, & fan that witnessed this too. 🙏
Furman defender Luke Munson announces his retirement from soccer. Munson had to have his lower leg amputated after suffering a double fracture against Duke on August 27. Wishing him all the best

There’s nothing wrong with hard.
What’s wrong is expecting to get better while avoiding everything that challenges you.
You have to choose the work before you earn the result.
Find something that inspires awe for you. Let yourself get caught up in the wonder & beauty of it. Awe is connected to gratitude & all the good stuff that comes with the attitude of gratitude 💕. What inspires awe in you?
FACTS. Leaders don’t play petty games by expecting others to figure them out. Leaders set the tone. What tone do you set?
A little blip on implementation intentions & what they add to your mental toolbox…
Enjoyed this post from @DrBuning, who wrote about using implementation intentions in softball to help players push through uncomfortable and unexpected situations on the field. 🧠

What works for some doesn’t work for all! 😆 This goes for mental skills too! There are so many different strategies & approaches to performance. Find an adaptive strategy that you like. You don’t have to do something just because you teammate, coach, parent does it.

Every year on or right before 9/11, we show this video to our students. It’s not only powerful story-telling, it’s a reminder to a younger generation about how life altering 9/11 was for those of us who lived it. It’s only 10 min #themanintheredbandana
