💭 Miscellaneous
ASU Football Coach Kenny Dillingham on Trust (source):
“I just believe in trusting people. I shouldn’t say this but I leave my car unlocked. My wife hates it. I just believe in people. I truly believe if you give people the keys, if you truly empower people, and you get the right people around you, and you trust them, and you believe them, and you empower them, they’re going to be better versions of themselves. And that empowerment is going to take you as a unit higher than you could ever go than by me saying ‘run 100 yards.’”
The Tortoise and the Hare
While men are nearly 18 percent faster than women in 5K races, they are only 11 percent faster in marathons, 3.7 percent faster at 50 miles, roughly even as they approach 100 miles, and then women routinely outpace men at races 195 miles and up (source).
A good reminder…
