Tonight, our football players will wear helmet stickers and our cheerleaders will wear blue and black ribbons in memory of Clay Township Police Sergeant Jacob Roesler. We are grateful for his service and dedication to keeping our community safe.
Awesome!!
My eyes were wet from start to finish. I thought of being little in a big world & watching my son's first tries at this mad game. ESPN's Open to the NHL season is beautiful. I didn't expect to cry today-this is stunning. There's nothing like this sport. We at ESPN love the sport as you do. ❤️ Enjoy.
Great perspective! #controlwhatyoucancontrol #TheStandard

We will never forget the lives lost and the courage and unity Americans showed on September 11, 2001.
Today and always, we honor their memory.

Kurt Warner shares the lesson that changed his entire career and it applies to everything.
He sat on the bench for 4 years in college. When a friend asked the coaches why he wasn't playing, the answer wasn't what he expected:
"The reason I wasn't playing was because I was not very good in practice."
His first reaction? Allen Iverson mode.
"Practice? What're you talking about, practice?"
But then he did the math.
"In college we play 12 games in 365 days. In the NFL we play 16 games in 365 days."
That's less than 5% of your year.
"95% of our lives are lived in practice. And the biggest impression we make on people, the way people can understand and really realize who we are, is what we do every day in practice."
This is the 95% Rule. And it applies to everything - sports, business, relationships, life.
1: Show Up With Your Best Effort - Compete and give your best every single day. People can't question how you show up - your effort, attitude, and actions. Consistency removes doubt.
2: Trust Is Built In Practice, Not Games - Trust is earned in the thousands of moments before it's given. Before you can be trusted, people want to know you're dependable. Every day. Not just when it matters.
3: Master Daily Consistency - Success isn't about intensity - it's about consistency. Your habits compound. What you do daily defines who you become.
4: Big Moments Are Earned In Small Moments - The little details make the biggest difference. Greatness starts with preparation - it's earned in the boredom of doing the work when no one's watching.
Excellence isn't an event - It's a habit.
Practice is where trust is built.
How you show up daily is who you really are.

“We’re all blessed equally with the ability to have a great attitude. It’s on you. It’s only on you. Attitude is only you."
Nobody else owns your attitude. Not your coach. Not your teammates. Not your situation.
You choose it. You carry it. You control it.

Failure is part of life.
You won’t avoid it.
You won’t outwork it.
You won’t outsmart it.
What separates successful people isn’t avoiding it.
It’s refusing to let failure define you.

“The greatest motivator in the world is your ass on the bench. Ass meets bench, bench retains ass, ass transmits signals to the brain, brain transmits signals to the body, body gets ass off bench and plays better. It's a hell of a sequence.”

As an AD, here’s a reminder for parents:
Competition is hard.
Winning is hard.
Losing is hard.
Being coached is hard.
Accountability is hard.
Competitive sports were never meant to be comfortable.
If you don’t want your child to face hard things, don’t sign them up for competitive athletics.
The struggle is the lesson.
The adversity is the teacher.
The hard is the point.
