I have realized this as I became a dad again later in life. So rewarding to have family, a job I love, and the ability to balance it day in and day out.
Steve Kerr says Roger Federer taught his Warriors team the secret to sustained success wasn’t outworking everyone, it was building a life around your craft you never want to escape from
“I’ll tell you a great story about Roger Federer. We were playing in China with the Warriors in 2017. Roger was in Shanghai for the Masters tournament, so we invited him to come speak to the team.”
“Draymond Green asked him, ‘How do you sustain success? How have you managed to win majors 20 years after you first won one?’ Everyone was expecting him to say, ‘I work harder than everybody,’ the will, all the clichés.”
“Roger Federer says, ‘I get up every morning and I make breakfast for my kids. Then I take them to school and drop them off. Then I go practice tennis for about two hours, and I’ve figured out a really good routine where I don’t destroy my body, but I can get all the work in I need.”
“‘Then I go have lunch with my wife. In the evening, we cook dinner together. The kids are all home from school. We ask them about school. There’s so much joy in the house. We put them to bed, and then I put my head on the pillow and go, “Man, that was just a great day.” And I’ve been doing that for 20 years.’”
“And it was like, yes. That’s it. That’s the formula. That’s what leads to sustained success. He loves tennis. He loves his family. He loves life. It’s not outworking everybody and banging your head against the wall, ‘I’m going to be better than everybody.’ It’s allowing your natural talent to shine through with a work ethic, with a great family life, with perspective, with peace, with mindfulness.”
“It’s perspective. It’s joy. It’s passion. It’s mindfulness. It’s an awareness that we are truly lucky. To get the most out of ourselves, it’s our daily rituals and experiences and love and joy.”

The immunity deal is all Trump cared about. He doesn't care about any of the January 6 mob or other sycophants who hold his banner and claim persecution.
This is the latest Trump corruption to push back on.
He's gotten the attorney general to exempt him from the tax laws that govern everyone else—including other presidents.
Bill and I released 30+ years of tax returns and were audited a few times! bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Sharing this information from the VA who were at an event I attended this weekend. Regardless of political views, it is vital to reach our veterans, their families and friends who may need life saving support during this current times. #va #crisisline #veterans

Great game by the Gopher Women's Hoopsters! Didn't panic when PSU had a run of 3 pointers in the 2nd, then solid defense playing their game let them stretch the lead. Fun team to watch!

Lindsey found his game in the 4th. Stuck with it and kept going. Gritty performance by the rFr. Plenty of learning opportunities to keep growing. #RTB #SkiUMah #GoGophers

Down 9-3 at the half for the Vikings is a gift considering how they played that 1st half. #Skol

Between the Gophers mental mistakes and poor play last night, and the Vikings copying them tonight, it's a tough weekend for MN football fans.
