So why are we talking about standards right now? Because we are about to start band camp and this is where we can really set the standards for the entire season. Setting standards early is so very important because it really sets the tone for the entire season. You get to decide what is acceptable now and reinforce it during the most contact hours you will have.

The story is really about how a carrot, an egg, and coffee beans react to hot water (pressure). When you put a carrot into hot water it becomes soft and mushy. When you put an egg in hot water it hardens and becomes a hard boiled egg. When you put coffee beans in water, they change the water into coffee. The moral of the short story is how does pressure impact us and in turn how do we impact our environment.

It's that time of year where we review how the year went for us and start making plans for next year. I don't really know how to quantify this year as either good or bad. It was definitely challenging.

Alright...I think I might enjoy reading now. But only things I want to read. I read 4 chapters of a book today (almost 50 pages) because I was intraced in what the book was going over. I think the most I have read in 1 sitting before today was 14-15 pages.

This post is about the third book I have read this year - "Think Like a Warrior" by Darrin Donnelly.

Happy New Year! 2025 is now a week old. Hopefully you have been able to make the most of this week.

They had a great season earning a silver medal, finishing the season breaking 80, and experiencing almost 20 points worth of growth.

Wishing you all a happy, and productive, 2024.

It's that time of year where we should take time and remember all the things we are grateful.

I just want to say congrats and thank you to all the groups I was involved with this past winter.

It has been a year since I posted about what I was reading. Mainly because I got distracted and stopped. So what got me reading again?

In some previous posts of mine, and on episodes of Volta (one of the podcast's I have done), I have talked about changing course when needed

Long time no see! A lot has been going on both positive and negative, and I took some time to process that information.

This is the time to reflect and give thanks for the year that was.

As one school year ends let's take a second during this busy time to reflect on the good things that have happened.

Last week, I did my #10yearchallenge in a blog format. This week I wanted to make a list of things I would tell my younger self

The other thing I think of when I hear/say "The Road Here," is the 10 year challenge I keep seeing all over my social media.
