297 - A quick story about an interaction with a fan while after a game I officiated
Most officials, I know love, talking about plays, and the opportunity to get better. My partner and I were approached by a mother of a player on the winning team, who whipped out her phone and was real quick to accuse us of the worst call she’s ever seen. We click the dismissed her, and here’s what I wish, I did. I wish I paused, and slowed the entire situation down, and I wish I asked her if she was sure of the example she wanted to set for her six or seven-year-old daughter, who was in Tobey b...

293 - the first lesson I’m teaching our daughter
Our daughter is almost 5 months old now, and she’s the greatest thing in the whole world. I am so lucky and blessed that I get to be her mom. Do you know WHY I end every episode with ‘I appreciate you, thank you for spending some time with me today?’ (I borrowed this from Lewis Howes’ School of Greatness podcast) I’m now aware that it’s because our ATTENTION is our most valuable asset. Some may argue that it’s time, others may say it’s money. But to me, our ATTENTION is more valuable than both. ...

And how, after a well done mission, it’s easy to get sloppy and overconfident, and as a leader, it’s his job to remind everyone that they still need to do their diligence, and remain prepared and humble. Conversely, after a loss, or a casualty, it is the leaders job to sway the mob in...

283 - "Knowledge is nothing unless it is shared" - John Wooden
From page 7 of 'A Game Plan For Life' "We all share that same responsibility because each of us has gained a different perspective from our individual circum-stances. Knowledge is nothing unless it is shared. I know that knowledge for knowledge's sake is a wonderful ideal, but in re-alit, it is the transmission of understanding that is the very basis of civilization. It's what allows human progress to move forward. If we dont pass on what we've gained, we are halting the upward reach of society,...

Fable: DON'T ARGUE WITH DONKEYS The donkey said to the tiger: - "The grass is blue". The tiger replied: - "No, the grass is green." The discussion heated up, and the two decided to submit him to arbitration, and for this they went before the lion, the King of the Jungle. Already before reaching the forest clearing, where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey began to shout: - "His Highness, is it true that the grass is blue?". The lion replied: - "True, the grass is blue." The donkey hu...

I had the opportunity to give a talk to our youth recreation coaches in town. They have to go through a safety training, and as a physical therapist, I'm qualified to offer that to them. It helps that I coach high school soccer, and can offer them safety tips on things to look out for as far as injuries and field conditions. I managed to show them a handful of drills, reminding them that they can be adjusted to the level that they're coaching, these coaches were first through eighth grade coache...
