Final 4️⃣? A lot of chalk but one unexpected team making a deep run 👀🐷

Will ChatGPT get it right?

A person who knows little thinks that everything he knows is important, and wants to tell everyone.
A person who knows much also knows that there is much more he doesn’t know. That’s why he speaks only when it is necessary to speak, and when he is not asked questions, he keeps his silence.

True leadership isn’t about authority - it’s about impact.

Coaching is about developing athletes, not using them to boost your reputation.

The true measure of success isn’t the trophies on your shelf—it’s the impact you leave on the players you coach.

If you’re coaching, take a hard look at what you’re building. What will your players remember about you?

🛑 They blame players instead of developing them.

🛑 They care more about their own ego than their players’ growth.

🛑 They fail to take responsibility for player development.

But too often, bad coaches do the opposite:

🛑 They focus only on flaws instead of potential.

🛑 They don’t develop players—they just wait for better ones.

🛑 They allow bad attitudes and toxic behavior to spread.

🛑 They don’t create a toxic culture overnight, but they tolerate it every day.

I’ve been thinking a lot about certain youth/high school coaches—coaches who don’t invest in their players, don’t develop talent, and tolerate toxic behavior just to feed their own egos.

A real coach sees potential, builds players up, and sets a high standard for character and accountability.

The loudest person in the room is rarely the smartest.

The more you say no to the things that don’t matter, the more you can say yes to the things that do.

“If we can focus on making clear what parts of our day are within our control and what parts are not, we will not only be happier, we will have a distinct advantage over other people who fail to realize they are fighting an un-winnable battle.”

Yesterday, the world lost an extraordinary leader and humanitarian.

Return-to-office mandates are associated with an exodus of high performers, research finds When S&P 500 companies discouraged remote working, skilled employees quit—leaving hard-to-fill vacancies for employers.

A working paper from associate professor of business administration Mark Ma and colleagues found that prominent technology and finance companies who implemented return-to-office (RTO) mandates lost their most skilled and senior employees.
