On this day in 2015, the Chicago Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup beating the Tampa Bay Lightning in 6 games. It was the first time since 1938 that the Cup was raised in Chicago after a home game win. #chicago #history

We got a kid announcing heโ€™s flipping to attend a different schoolโ€™s camp. First of itโ€™s kind. The gameโ€™s so gone.

IFYKYK - itโ€™s the holding
Jun 11
The Spurs know how to TAKE the lead, they just don't know how to HOLD the lead. And that's really the most important part of the lead: the holding

Guy in Members Only jacket whacked him. โ€œMembers Only," the first episode of the final season, foreshadowed this. Eugene Pontecorvo thought he was safe to โ€œretireโ€ but Tony refused leading to his suicide. Final episode- Tony thought he was safe to be back in public after killing Phil Leotardo, & like Eugene, it ultimately leads to his end.
On this day in 2007, The Sopranos aired its final episode and gave television one of the most talked about endings of all time. Nineteen years later, people are still debating what happened in that final scene, proving just how much of an impact the series left on pop culture. Whether you loved the ending or hated it, one thing is certain: The Sopranos changed television forever. What was your reaction the first time the screen went black? ๐Ÿค”

1. More Consequences โœ… 2. Fewer Meetings โœ… 3. Bring Back Pen and Paper โœ… and Iโ€™ll add: 4. Academic Rigor (not everyone is an AP student) 5. Higher Standards for Teachers (be who you expect your students to be)
Principal Lamb provides 3 solid things that should be restored in order to increase learning in our schools More educators need to consider these ideas (There is little doubt the teachers' unions will oppose all three)

Be Uncommon
If you want to achieve anything significant and out of the ordinary, you have to be OK with looking and sounding 'crazy' for some years.

Nobody talks about the student who came ready to learn, sat through the disruption, said nothing, and fell further behind while every adult in the building focused on the one who made the most noise. She is still waiting for someone to notice she was there, too.

99% of people don't need to 'biohack'. They need to lift weights, move more, sleep more, and drink some water.

A close second
18 years ago when I got into coaching little did I realize that this thing right here would cause me to curse more than anything else in the sport.
