I am considering how to make the summer basketball experience super spectacular for all parties involved. I want to take a page from my son’s football coach who was adamant about the team having custom duffel bags for each player. I want to go there but with drawstring backpacks and possibly water bottles. This is all swag, of course, but it is my experience that the swag and the look is often a part of the experience. Kids like looking and feeling cool, and while the sport itself and winning games is super fun and super important, imagine earning something they can tote around for a few years with the memory of that incredible summer season and all the fun and relationships they formed.
Short post… I’m not great these days.
Some Thoughts:
- Back in 1833 A train derailed in Highstown, NJ killing two. This is the earliest recorded train derailment causing death. I bring it up because yesterday almost 51 miles away from the site of that crash an Amtrak train went off the rails going twice the posted speed limit killing 7 people.
- Speaking of speed limits, I was pulled over by a cop who said he clocked me speeding… this is after he chased me down from my town over 5 miles and locked on my car vs. all the others that were driving past me and ticketed me for “waste of a finite resource” really?
