On Coaching Daily - exhaustion is the enemy of learning

Today on Coaching Daily, I write about being tired. Bottom line: don't try to teach tired players new things. They aren't learning much when they're tired - except possibly how to take short cuts that lead to bad habits.

A tragedy on the Chicago River a century ago, now barely remembered

On my Second City History blog I have a new post up about a disaster 99 years ago that killed more than 800 people - but one you've probably never heard of if you aren't from Chicago, and maybe even then. It's a story I stumbled on on my regular walks past the Bohemian National Cemetery.
