So apparently, Sweden went all-in on tablets in the classroom--then saw 4th-grade reading scores tank. Now they're spending €60M to bring back real books, because screens weren't helping. And here in the U.S., only 30% of 8th graders read at grade level, with writing scores just as bleak. If one of the most tech-savvy nations is pulling the plug, maybe America should start asking if screen time is quietly dumbing down a whole generation.

Mr. Rush, my middle school English teacher, would be proud to know I’m finally using what he taught me. I’m sure my drafts would still come back bleeding red ink—but I know he would just be making me better. 😂
The Pursuit PE newsletter just hit 300 subscribers. Thanks to all the Strength & Speed coaches and PE teachers who are finding it valuable. Grateful to be learning along with y'all. 💪🏻⚡️

Especially if they use the term “try hard” or some equivalent.
Athletes who make fun of hard work are afraid of it.

When things go well: “they” “we” & “us” When things don’t go well: “me” “my” and “I” This guy is a true coach & leader of men!!!

If you played football at any level. You’ve been in a room with a heartbroken coach, thanking you for all the sacrifice. And you know it will never be the same. That’s how it felt watching Dan Campbell.

How do you DESTROY a Team Culture? Drip by Drip… 1. Skip reps 2. Show up late 3. Blame others 4. Take-off plays 5. Negative energy 6. No accountability 7. Sloppy in practice 8. No team cohesion 9. No communication 10. Bad body language 11. Complain about calls How do I define Culture? - Culture is what you allow. - Culture is what you emphasize. - Culture is EVERY DAY. Protect Your Culture. Culture WINS🏆
