Message from Mr. Lanier
We are talking to our students a lot about the importance of perseverance and how to come back after things don't go your way. This Tom Brady interview popped up recently and made the social media rounds. In it he discusses that the best lessons are taught when we fail versus when we succeed. This is very true throughout our lives. As caregivers of our children, though, we have a hard time allowing our students to learn these difficult lessons and trusting that they will pull through a difficult time stronger and more prepared for the world. We tend to focus on the failure itself rather than the lessons that need to be learned. Think of the times when you have failed at something. What did you learn from it? How did you approach making things better so you were successful the next time around? I learned a lot of lessons as a college athlete and coach. I think back often to how things would have been different if we would have won the game or made the plays to be champions. I think of the seasons where we lost more games than we won. Even though it is very hard to experience failure, when we focus on the lessons to learn and the strength it takes to pull through we come out better in the end.
Let's have a great week of learning.
Tiger Up,
Mr. Lanier
