It's Monday, and you have to love Mondays. A new week, a fresh start to create opportunities.
As excited and hopeful I am about the prospect that the embarrassing facilities situation with the Chicago Public Schools will finally be addressed after receiving a letter from Dr. Joyce Kenner, President of CPS' Principal's Athletic Association Executive Board, (http://blogs.suntimes.com/cornerkicks/2008/01/dr_joyce_kenners_help_is_neede.html#comments) I also wonder if the CPS coaches will finally step up to the plate and demand better facilities for their student-athletes?
It's so easy to talk the talk, sit and collect a check. It's another thing to step up and make a difference for the sport and its athletes of today and tomorrow.
Nevertheless, I wanted to share this video clip. I remember watching it live and to this day I still watch it once a week. If you listen to the words and the meaning, it's hard not to be motivated on a Monday.

Wow! I am almost speechless. Words without wisdom =ignorance. Hurts Joe, really does, the entry lacks truth. On behalf of all the coaches in CPS, thanks for the wonderful view of us. You really seem to be in the know. Again, wow...
TROST RESPONDS: There are more than just a handful of coaches in CPS. But time after time, there are only a few that step up to the plate. It's time for the entire organization to step up together.
