@ChattinKeith Constantly striving to be where my feet are. Playoffs week 1 - but it’s been a long 6 months since spring ball. People underestimate how emotionally exhausting being a HC is. You’re constantly giving your energy out and rarely refilling you’re own cup. Grateful for my brothers.

@matthewnielsen A credential shows value through commitment to the profession and entry level abilities/knowledge. I agree that it doesn’t show expertise, just as a 1st year RN isn’t an expert. But they typically have a lot more understanding of their profession than an outsider.

@RealCandaceO Both can be right. Cops need more training on use of deadly force, understanding perspectives and their own bias, defusing situations without aggression... all of it. And parents need to be more engaged and take accountability for the development and character of their kids.

@azc_obert @azcentral I may not be in the majority here - but why does it matters? Adults change jobs. Coaches change schools. Kids go to schools for different / better academics and fine arts all the time. Why care if a kid chooses to go to a school that fits his / her athletic goals better?

@AlexRotsko I respectfully disagree. Learning to love and embrace the grind can be a precursor to excellence. The path to our goals is often tough and uncomfortable, and typically is a “grind”. But learning to love that grind can allow for a lasting and transformational growth mindset.
