    Episode #30: 30 Years! GRATEFUL!

    Ep #30 is my 30 for 30- A look back at 30 years of teaching, with some nostalgia, compare & contrast, love for the profession, my kids, my transformation over that time, love for the Bronx, and just some feelings of gratitude for everything that brought me to this point. Teaching can be a grind, but if you focus on the kids and your craft, you can find the grace and joy in it. Life's good!

    Episode #27- Behavior Issues!!

    I'm sort of surprised I haven't covered this one yet. In this ep, I talk about dealing with kids displaying attitudes and being a pain both in the classroom and on the field. I drove into work feeling one way about this, and wound handling it pretty different a little while later- so listen the whole way through to this tough guy/softie LOL

    Episode #24- Motivating Students, Motivating Players

    In this episode, I talk about how I try to get both players and students to "buy in" to a team goal on the field or into actively learning in the classroom. We need to engage, to inspire without falling into cliches. Not always easy!
