Wayne Bennett on the greatest challenge in coaching 👇
🗣️”The great athletes of the world don’t compete against the opposition, they compete against themselves. You’re the opposition, you’re the one stopping you from being good. You’re the ones living the double standards, you’re the ones not always doing your best.”

My cousin and her partner, and my Aunty and her partner are some of the most kind, caring & loving people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. To think that I play against someone that says they'll go to Hell for being gay disgusts me. 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈

Kinda sick of us players staying quiet on some of this stuff. I can't stand that I have to play this game that I love with people, like Folau, who say what he's saying

Politics isn't something that happens every three years at election time. It's the crux of massive things like climate change, homelessness, education, mass incarceration, terrible drug law, and smaller-seeming things like a regular bus timetable.

"We need to change our throw-away culture and we need to do more re-use and recovery and we need to think about what we're buying in terms of reducing what we're actually using." - Associate Environment Minister @EugenieSage

The Peter Principle is highly prevalent in sports governance and HP management, except it has a extension, namely that people who had great skill as players often get promoted WAY BEYOND their level of incompetence as managers (and coaches) nitter.gq/qikipedia/status/95328…
