Day 82 (of 2024/25) thank you AJ Brown @1k_alwaysopen for being a reading role model

Playoffs football. The NFL is in its playoff season, and the tv crew caught AJ Brown (receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles) reading a book after a frustrating series…

But was it frustrating?

“A.J. Brown says book wasn’t sign of frustration: ‘I like to read’”

The book: “Inner Excellence” by Jim Murphy. It surged to the top of Amazon sales…

Quarterback Jalen Hurts observed: “Everybody has a different thing and finds their flow in different ways. That’s how he chooses to do it.”

Reading. I keep chiding my colleagues and peers to model those skills we wish our students would see value in also learning (reading writing mathing and a/effective screen use)

Thanks to @1k_alwaysopen for sharing “Inner Excellence” and modelling reading to a broad audience! Glad that it got people talking about why … and what… might be read!
