College athletes who get good grades...
They get hired.
"They know how to win, and they know how to experience loss."
They know commitment
They know work ethic
They know about teamwork
They know how to manage time
They win

Cornell researchers have identified a molecular pathway that contributes to the death of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas.
The discovery suggests a new strategy to preserve the cells that regulate blood sugar and potentially treat Type 2 diabetes.

Want to know why some teams win consistently?
Watch what they do when nobody’s watching.
Extra reps.
Early mornings.
How they practice.
How they treat teammates.
Their daily attitude.
Winning habits are revealed on game day.
Kara Lawson gets it. 🥇

John Wooden shares a mindset that we all need to adopt every day.
"Yesterday is gone. That'll never change. Tomorrow is yet to be."
"How can you affect tomorrow? By today. That's the only possible way."
"I tried to get each player to make each day his masterpiece."
Don't get caught up in the past or worry about the future - make today your masterpiece.
Then he shared advice he gave to certain players:
"You've gotta put the past out. Good or bad, it's past - it'll never change. The only way you can affect the future is what you do today."
You can't change yesterday. You can't control tomorrow. You only have today.
Then he recited a poem by Vivian Larimore that he loved:
"I've shut the door on yesterday, its sorrows and mistakes. I've locked within its gloomy walls past failures and heartaches."
"And now I throw the key away to seek another room and furnish it with hopes and smiles and every springtime bloom."
"I've shut the door on yesterday and thrown the key away. Tomorrow holds no fears for me, for I have found today."
"Today is the day that counts. It's today."
The present moment is the only place where you can truly make a difference.
Don't carry yesterday's failures or worry about the unknown.
Focus on what you can control.

One of the greatest responsibilities we have as coaches is understanding the influence we have on young people.
Nick Saban said it best:
“Leadership is all about helping someone for their benefit. If you’re helping them for your benefit, that’s manipulation.”
That’s a powerful reminder.
We all want to win. We all want our programs to be successful.
But coaching has never been just about what players can do for us.
It’s about what we can do for them.
The lessons we teach. The confidence we build. The standards we establish. The people we help them become.
Our success as coaches shouldn’t just be measured by what our players accomplish for us, but by who they become because of us.
That’s the responsibility.
And the privilege of coaching.

Becky Hammon on the 1st thing a coach needs to do in building a championship culture: "Set a tone of accountability, first and foremost. Bringing people together for a common goal that's bigger than themselves. And then you've got to get the buy-in factor."

SUNY Oneonta 31’
I’m so excited and so grateful to announce that I have officially committed to continue my academic and basketball career at SUNY Oneonta! @OneontaWBB @CoachD_Thompson
I’m so thankful to the coaches at Oneonta for welcoming me, believing in me, and making me feel like this was where I was supposed to be. I can’t wait to be part of this team and start this next chapter of my life.
There are also so many people who helped me get here. To all my coaches, trainers, and teammates who believed in me when I didn’t always believe in myself, who kept pushing me, encouraging me, and never gave up on me…Thank you! @Coach_Milazzo @WWHSSprts @WWHSSprts
@LI_Renegades @Avi_Burmenko
Thank you to my family, especially my mom, who have supported me through this process. I couldn’t have done it without you.
A very special thank you to Adam…Thank you for always pushing me outside of my comfort zone, challenging me to be better, and believing in what I could become even when I couldn’t see it yet. So many of the things you pushed me to do helped me grow not only as a basketball player, but as a person. I’m forever grateful for you.

Fear can stop you before you ever get started. Pat’s message was simple: Go for it! You might fail. You might not get it right the first time. But you’ll never know what you’re capable of if you let fear make the decision for you.
Take the chance. Give it a shot. Go for it. 🧡
