True statement
As an athlete, you need to take practices equally as serious as games. If you don’t, you’ll be outperformed by the athletes who do.

Ok, on a rant…3 pager! At a time when we need young people entering the health care field it seems contradictory to handcuff them to this no win situation. Another example of administration not using any common sense.

In my experience, it was usually very bright and excellent students who joined HOSA. I think they deserve to be accommodated, exams have been moved/changed for far less deserving reasons in the past.

Great article in @TorontoStar this morning outlining how @YRDSB is not accommodating HOSA (health occupation students of America) students to attend the culminating event of the season. They risk getting zero on missed exams.(1 of 2)

Teachers, whether you plant the seeds or water them, you are impacting the lives of your students. Many of your students will think back on you years later, maybe even after you are gone and smile and remember you made a difference! Never forget you are the difference maker!

My mom always told me to try your best! I can’t wait to show Rory what one can accomplish when you try and chase what you love! Because “impossible” is a super silly idea! #ImpossibleIsNothing @adidasCA @adidashockey

6th graders playing a brand new game for us called Nitro Ball! They really enjoyed it and all the movement. #lpselma

We sent a letter to @NeilLumsdenMPP ahead of the Sport Minister’s meeting in PEI. Thank you to Minister Lumsden and Canada’s Sport Ministers for supporting the inclusion of lacrosse (🇨🇦’s national sport) in the @2025CanadaGames—we look forward to hearing more from @CanadaGames.

Well done @bdobson_45 !!
Brett Dobson only allowed 4 goals in Saturday's game. Only 18 other goalies in NLL history have allowed 4 or fewer goals while playing over 55 minutes in a game. Dobson is the first rookie to do it.

100% agree!
If @CanadaSoccerEN had treated the women’s team with equality and respect then they wouldn’t have this situation. These women are world class winning athletes being treated like third class amateurs. I stand with the women’s soccer team. Pay them equally. Treat them equally. ⚽️

Four things all great coaches have: 1. High character. 2. Great leadership skills. 3. A vast knowledge of their sport. 4. The ability to teach their sport effectively.

Your personal relationships- are by far the most important things in your life. Not your job- not your stuff- your friends. You will live longer- be happier- have more joy and feel a sense of well being. Call a friend. Be a friend.

Just saying….
Districts or schools that remove students from physical education, music, Arts, or other classes to remediate them in other areas, have no idea of the immediate and long term damage they are doing to these students. These may be classes that help them love school.

As a coach, put your players first. Their development, health, and well-being should always be your number one priority.
