If your best player accepts coaching, wants you to coach him, doesn't run away from it, doesn't pout, doesn't cry, comes in the next day and he is as excited as he was the day before, it sets the tone for everyone else to fall inline and accept coaching. – Frank Martin

Kobe Bryant was asked: “You are the best player in the world. Why would you spend 2 hours on some fundamental drills and do them over and over again?”
He responded: “Why do you think I’m the best player in the world?” #MambaMondays

As the son of a legal Salvadoran immigrant who is living the American dream, is a proud American citizen, highly educated with (3 masters degrees) and has raised me and taught me the meaning of hard work, never making excuses and feeling sorry for yourself, I am offended & hurt.
Trump asked senators why the U.S. accepts immigrants from “shithole countries” like Haiti, El Salvador and African nations bloom.bg/2mtVPyn

Manu is 39 years old, just missed a 3 and got down on the other end and took a charge against Durant. And most kids today are too cool.

Very bittersweet to announce I will not be returning to Horizon next year coaching or teaching. I am forever grateful to Horizon HS and the Paradise Valley Unified School District Horizon will ALWAYS be home. Countless memories as a student and teaching flood through.

I want to be in my classroom and see our students and colleagues. I want to coach, I want to support our communities programs. I want to be able to feel comfortable around the most vulnerable or those who have vulnerable people at home.
WEAR A DAMN MASK. STAY AT HOME IF YOU CAN.

Shameful to hear comments in the stands at a playoff baseball game from parents and students mocking the opposing team and their families for speaking Spanish. What are you doing? What example are you showing? Representing your families, school & community.
