  When I die and people realize that I will not be resurrected in three days, they will forget me. That is the way it should be. For reasons known only to God, I was asked to write an autobiography. Most people who knew me growing up didn't think I would ever read a book, let alone write one.—Lou Holtz 
  Few people in the history of college sports have been more influential or had a bigger impact than Lou Holtz. Winner of the three national Coach of the Year honors, the only coach ever to lead six different schools to season-ending bowl games, and the ninth-winningest coach in college football history, Holtz is still teaching and coaching, although he is no longer on the gridiron.  
  In his most telling work to date, the man still known as ""Coach"" reveals what motivated a rail-thin 135-pound kid with marginal academic credentials and a pronounced speech impediment to play and coach college football, and to become one of the most sought-after motivational speakers in history. With unflinching honesty and his trademark dry wit, Holtz goes deep, giving us the intimate details of the people who shaped his life and the decisions he would make that shaped the life of so many others. 
  His is a storied career, and Holtz provides a frank and inside look at the challenges he overcame to turn around the programs at William and Mary, North Carolina State, Arkansas, and Minnesota. From growing up in East Liverpool, Ohio, to his early days as a graduate assistant at the University of Iowa, to his national championship runs at Notre Dame and his final seasons on the sidelines in South Carolina, Lou Holtz gives his best, a poignant, funny, and instructive look into a life well lived.

  Join me on this journey as I document the Road to Tokyo for the many teams that hope to compete on the Olympic stage at the summer games. I have traveled from Italy to Mexico, prior to the shutdown, then back to Florida as the tournament schedule resumed, to not only report on the events, but also to get a true authentic understanding of what baseball brings to these various cultures around the world. As someone who has played and coached in nine different countries on six continents, I am not only passionate about the game of baseball and how it can impact our personal development and growth in life, but I am also excited about the international growth and expansion of the game, as I believe that baseball can bring about a change for good to everyone involved around the world.

  Fitness for Busy Moms - Quick...

  Being a mom is a full-time job, and it's easy for your own health and fitness to take a back seat when you're juggling the needs of your family, work, and household responsibilities. However, it’s crucial to make time for yourself and your well-being. Fitness for busy moms doesn’t have to be a huge time commitment or require hours at the gym. It’s about finding small, efficient ways to stay active that fit into your hectic lifestyle. 
  The first step to fitting fitness into your life is understanding the importance of regular exercise. Physical activity is essential for maintaining energy levels, boosting mood, and improving overall health. It helps with everything from weight management to reducing the risk of chronic diseases. But more than just the physical benefits, exercise is also a mental escape. It offers you a chance to take care of yourself and focus on something other than the never-ending to-do list. 
  Overcoming time constraints is often one of the biggest challenges for busy moms. Between school runs, meal prep, work, and household chores, it can feel impossible to carve out time for exercise. However, the key is not to wait for the "perfect" time. There will never be a time when everything is perfectly aligned, and that’s okay. Fitness doesn’t require hours of uninterrupted time—it can be done in short bursts throughout the day. In fact, many of the most effective workouts are short, high-intensity sessions that get results in less time.
