Honor the gems. That was good Coach K.👍💯

I loved the simple exercise he talked about, by putting a piece of paper on the floor. I substitute 4th and 5th grade and even middle school sometimes; I have done this many times....to my surprise especially in middle school, many times that paper was eventually picked up and put in the trash. I am sure some of those who picked it up were curious if anything was on it, they would look at it, but they ALWAYS put it in the trash can or placed it on their desk! I never questioned the class if the paper wasn't picked up at the end of the period, but if it was, I would take about 30 seconds before the bell rang and told them why that was done and gave praise to the person who picked up the paper. You can reach those kids, you just have be to aware of their how to approach them and engage them....thank you Coach K, I will keep using that the rest of my teaching days!

Another of Coach K's tremendous gifts, is his humor and quick wit. He blurted out "ten" to correct the person on how many grandchildren he had, then followed up quickly with "a natural conception"....(Coach K is a devout Catholic, he used a segway from the Immaculate thought that was funny and lightened the moment, because I believe the girl was a bit embarassed by not getting the information right. Humor is wonderful at setting a tone and putting people at ease! Enjoy your retirement Coach K, a job well done, thank you!

Coach K is definitely a hero in terms of his commitment to outstanding performance. He allowed Carolina the incredible opportunity of participating in his farewell tour which turned out so well for the Tar Heels.

The last question really sent him into a ramble…

Was a great interview though, thoroughly enjoyed a lot of his points.

Going back over what you teach is likened to game recaps. You watch them to get better and build your confidence.

[rasheawhite]

Failure gives you the means and opportunity to build structure, standards a successful plan to come out of failure and establish a legacy of good success.

You build your success through what you learned in your failures.

I agree. Failure is not the end just a bridge or ladder to success.😊
