Here is what happened so far this week on Just Win Today...

MOTIVATION

We had our "Thor Ragnarok" guide to having a good day (meant to be silly, I hope you laugh).

Coach Robert Stein of the Woodland Lady Cardinals sent me this awesome video that was displayed up on the main JWT page for a while.

FOR OUR TEACHERS

There was this article explaining how Silicon Valley is taking over the classroom.

This was a great article about "personalized learning."

This was a really good article on "phonic awareness" that I liked.

This EPIC VIDEO was on the site for our teachers. If you haven't listened to this, it's one of the best talks I've ever heard about the state of education, where we are now, and where we need to go.

FOR OUR COACHES

The Live Show on Sunday was epic, including an unscripted talk about MSHSAA possibly (probably) going to 6 classes. Check it out.

According to our fans that voted in this poll, Charleston, Sikeston, Oran, and either Advance or Eminence (it was a tie) are going to win a state championship this year. If you didn't vote, there's still time. Check it out.

Coach Jason Kidd compared Russell Westbrook to Mike Tyson.

This was an article about College Basketball Final 4 picks, National Coach of the Year, and National Player of the Year (hint: a lot of love here for Michigan State and Duke).

This was a really good article about how Chris Collins is turning around Northwestern's program. If you're interested in program building, it's worth the read.

This article was fascinating, where Josh Pastner (head coach at Georgia Tech) was basically exposed. Here is an excerpt: "I just started to realize [Pastner] is not a friend," Bell said. "I told him 'I hold your career in my hands. You're going to show me respect.' ... I said, 'I've been protecting you for two years. And if you don't watch yourself, if I start self-reporting, you're going to be coaching high school basketball.' And he said, 'Are you threatening me?' And I remember it like it was yesterday. I said, 'Josh, I don't make threats. Everything I say I'm going to do, I do it.'"

JWT MUSIC

If you're not on the Luke Combs bandwagon yet, what are you waiting for? He's the best thing out there right now. That's just my opinion, but I'm probably right.

Monday was "Luke Combs Monday," with an endless Luke Combs Playlist on the site (one of those songs is in the video below). Then Tuesday we had a "George Strait Tuesday," because everyday with George is a good day. If you're at a spot where you can listen to music in the background, just open up the site, click on MUSIC, and it will take you to the playlist for that day. Just hit play, then sit back and enjoy the tunes in the background.

Be sure to check back daily, as we change that playlist up daily. One day it could be Luke Combs or Eric Church, and the next day it might be Drake or Metallica. If you have a particular artist that you really like, give me some suggestions. We are equal opportunity music lovers here at JWT.
