... Athletes are people, not super heroes and sometimes it can be worse. In the age where everyone has access to make an (often stupid/uniformed) opinion on social media/message board, it can take an even larger toll on a human or humanity. 2/8
...Whether it’s talking about personal issues, or larger social issues, we need to find a better way to have constructive conversations rather than shout “you suck” at everyone/thing one disagrees with. Issues are much more complex than what you see/think...ALWAYS. 3/8
Take time to listen, learn, understand be willing to have compassion and conversation over something you may disagree with or not even know about. That goes for all sides. In a competitive culture, we always look for “wins” rather than seeking the truth in a lot of instances. 4/8
...in the last 24hrs, I’ve seen this video and it’s comments, NFL teams trying to make a stand for unity and it’s comments, “never forget” posts and it’s comments. Some great and lots of disgusting. We train our players to “block out the noise”... 5/8
but sometimes it’s tough when the volume is turned all the way up and changes need to be made. I beg all sides to just be better and at least hear each other. The truth usually lies somewhere between the arguments. Like we tell the team... 6/8
... being better than the day before is usually the goal and a great measure of success. We can’t do this if we aren’t a great team and have honest conversations on/off the court and understand that we aren’t going to be perfect in any of this...7/8
Let’s just all be better for ourselves and each other. A long time ago I realized shouting at my players didn’t get them to perform or listen any better. Still holds true today both on/off the court.
