Greg Schoon, Ankeny High School’s defensive line coach and former Iowa State football player, had what is believed to be a heart attack on the sideline of the Ankeny-Iowa City Liberty Class 5A Semifinal football game. The game was immediately paused.
Law enforcement present at the game ran over to Schoon and revived him after performing CPR for over five minutes.
Schoon pumped his fists in the air as he was stretchered into the ambulance, followed by a loud roar from the crowd.

Being on time, and being prepared, are both signs of respect. Give them. Expect them.

“Caring is cool. Nonchalance is a cop-out. Pour your heart and soul into what you love. You don’t get unlimited chances. Try hard. Give a damn.”

Being good enough to help isn’t enough.
You don’t earn trust with your best performance.
You earn it by meeting the standard consistently.
Give your team something they never have to question: whether you’ll do your part.

NLCS MVP Jake Bauers shares how letting go of results helped him find a different level of freedom as a competitor.
"I think what changed for me this year was I stopped caring about results. I started caring about competing. I started caring about being in the moment and getting out of my own way."
Sometimes, the biggest obstacle to performing at your best isn't a lack of preparation or ability.
It's the pressure you place on yourself to produce a particular outcome.
You become so concerned with what you want to happen that you lose touch with what the moment actually requires.
Any performer can unlock a new level when they learn how to be fully invested in the competition without becoming imprisoned by the outcome.

You hear this phrase a lot “my kid is losing confidence” anytime their kid is in a challenging spot in sports…
You know how you become confident?? Overcoming challenges and making the once challenging environment the norm.
Throw your kids to the wolves and let them struggle. And outside of that obsess over the work.

Two classless acts in college football today.
One player leaves Oregon’s QB motionless and headed to the hospital, while he celebrates.
Another gets a sack and pretends to pull his pants down and urinate.
Seriously.
Play the game.
And coaches: LEAD - throw them out.
