IRVING, Texas -- Paul Wiggin, the former Stanford and Cleveland Browns star who was on the losing end of "The Play" as the coach of star quarterback John Elway and the Cardinal, died Friday.

Very often, when you hear athletes talking about their successes, you will hear them boasting about being aggressive. Yet, when you ask the average person what it means to be aggressive, they say that hurting someone is part of the goal. High achievers know that the opposite of being aggressive is being passive. And, because success will not just magically drop in their lap, they can't be passive-they have to go after it.

When tough, but healthy coaches challenged us to try new things in gymnastics-in particular, dangerous skills that lent themselves to feelings of fear and potential injury-they did so in a way that was safe and supported: with spots and soft mats as needed, with endless drills that broke down the skills into manageable parts, and with a calm temperament that built trust (e.g., with statements like "I've got you," "We'll do it in slow motion," "Do you feel ready for the next step?"). We had a say in what we were doing with our own bodies, and coaches were there for us through the ups and downs of the learning process.
Six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach Bill Belichick and four other head coaches who won Super Bowls are among the nine semifinalists in the coach category for the 2026 class for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

They discuss the transformation of recovery techniques from the early days of simple practices like hydration and nutrition to the modern inundation of gadgets and supplements.

As soon as I walked in, I saw clipboards, iPads, and people meticulously diagramming plays in front of me. We were all trying to soak up hoops knowledge from the Raptors' coaching fountain and apply it to our own teams, clinics, and communities.Darko referred to this open house (it's also free) as the only one of its kind in the NBA.
You don't have to become someone else or learn complex systems. Look at what people already ask you about. Those questions hold your first income stream.

First-year girls' basketball coach Will Burr of Harvard-Westlake High has already concluded more than a month before the season begins that 6-foot-2 freshman Lucia Khamenia is going to be an impact player. She's the sister of former Harvard-Westlake All-American Nikolas Khamenia, who is now a freshman at Duke. Burr said Khamenia can play different positions because of her size and versatility, go inside or make threes like her brother.
"I think Mac was one of those guys who was in bad situations in New England relative to coaching and all that type of stuff, and who was the offensive coordinator, and how did he get developed when he came into the league. He hasn't been in great circumstances. I think, right now, he is in a really good circumstance with Shanahan and their offense."
You can see it in every tackle, every gut-busting run and in the frustrated body language when a pass doesn't quite come off. That energy is matched on the sideline, Rehanne Skinner animated throughout their 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa hold the line, come closer, talk to her and Fion can't get out are among the many commands from the technical area, with those behind the dugout treated to the thoughts of the manager while the action is under way.
AI can now schedule meetings, summarize calls, draft emails, and write serviceable first drafts. That's not the threat. The threat is what it reveals. If your value as a manager lives mostly in tasks, AI will eat it. If your value lives in people- coaching, clarity, and meaning-AI becomes your time-maker.
