By: Kevin Cottrell Jr. Just A Thought…BE THE OWNER! In sports whenever a team has a losing atmosphere for consecutive seasons the OWNER tends to make changes. Whether the problem is the coach of the team or the players that play, the owner must evaluate the situation as a whole and then break things down into various parts to locate the issue(s). Whether its life or sports if a team stays at the bottom the problem is usually at the top! So be a great owner of your team and when things around you don’t change…then change the things around you! NBA Season Preview: Last week we dissected the order for the South East Division (Magic, Hawks, Wizards, Heat, and Bobcats) as well as the South West Division (Spurs, Mavericks, Hornets, Rockets, Grizzles).

By: Kevin Cottrell Jr. GREAT…How does one define it? The average person may measure greatness by obtaining their highest goal, becoming a millionaire and some women may say giving birth without pain is great…The dictionary defines it as “having unusual merit, extraordinary powers, expert, the best.” All these adjectives sums up the word “great”, but if you ask Michael Jordan to define great he may hand you his resume.

By: Kevin Cottrell Jr. BEWARE OF THE KILLER BEE…For the past three years I’ve submitted my weekly installments of “Thoughtful Thursday”, to shed my light on the world of sports and to also use sports as a metaphor to life. The inspiration behind my weekly blog stems from the words of wisdom provided by Rev Run. So of course it was a pleasure to have an opportunity to thank him yesterday during a book signing. With that said one of my favorite Rev Run quotes came to mind for this week’s edition of TT. Since we were young we’ve been taught to never hold a grudge. Yet the older we are it seems as if we hold our grudges longer! Take the Denver Broncos, new head coach Josh McDaniels got off on a bad note with his franchise ...

By: Kevin Cottrell Jr. Just A Thought… Character vs. Reputation…To be clear, Character is who you are and how you approach life and react in the face of adversity. Reputation is simply what others think of you. For some reason many of us tend to think we have “a reputation to uphold” but few of us realize the true importance of building our character. Let’s take a couple of athletes for example. In baseball, Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton returned a last season from a 2-year ban for drug & alcohol abuse. After returning to the Majors Josh became the poster boy for recovering addicts. He was as clean as can be and even became an All-Star. However, this past January Hamilton had a relapse and pictures recently surfaced of Hamilton drunk (and or ... |
