The professional athletes I respect the most are the ones who despite all the fame, glory, money, influence, and everything else that goes with being a professional athlete, transcend all of it to play their game, enjoy it, and make the world a better place in the process.
As an athlete in college, the pressure to perform for us was intense, I can not imagine what professional athletes go through, especially in high pressure sports. You can be a hero or a goat any night in any sport, but some have been ridiculed throughout decades for one bad play, or one dumb mistake. Bill Buckner comes to mind for the Boston Red Sox. He missed an easy ground ball allowing the Mets to come from behind and win the game with 2 outs in the 9th inning. Forevermore, blowing a big play in baseball, even in other sports is known as pulling a “Buckner”.
When pro athletes are performing, everything is great, they are elevated in society as demi-gods of a sort. As soon as that performance falls off though, it is equally cutting on as it is elevating on the way down. Keeping a positive outlook, maintaining your focus, and working harder through those times can not be easy and is the demise of many a player.
Some athletes can transcend this, Clayton Kershaw (L.A. Dodgers) comes to mind. He is going on 15 years as the Dodgers ace pitcher. Despite a decline in his pitching velocity and numerous health issues, he still goes out and puts together a bunch of wins for his team. He has an adorable family that is easy to see is his bedrock. When he goes out to pitch, the rest of the team knows that he will absolutely give his all to the team.
Another athlete in this category that comes to mind is Justin Turner. Justin Turner was a player that The New York Mets essentially gave up on, was traded to the Dodgers and in ten short years, helped transform the culture of the team as its leader to unprecedented number of pennants in the National League West. Off the field, Turner began a 5K run at Dodgers Stadium that raises millions of dollars for charity. Turner now has the most hits in the postseason of any Dodger player…..ever. No crazy headlines, no fighting on social media with teammates, just solid leadership and leading by example. That is what ultimately gains my respect.
Thanks for reading Bunchiesblog! Check out some of my other recent articles. Which athletes do you respect and why? Feel free to comment below!
I went to church regularly during my formative years and learned a great deal about philosophy, morality, and empathy. Even though I am no longer a avid churchgoer, the relationships I made during that time really set the stage for who I would become and who I wanted to be.
What do talking like a pirate, throwing tomatoes, a feast for monkeys, chasing a cheese wheel and honoring the Horned God have in common? They are all holidays that have a very unique personality celebrated across the world.
I feel most productive when I am daydreaming about being productive on vacation drinking a cold beer. There is nothing better than relaxing in a beautiful location with a fishing pole, a beer, family, and friends.
Emojis kill brains. Emojis make you look stupid. And me too. All of us. I think emojis make us all kind of silly. I used to be able to put my feelings and thoughts into words quite well – in a few languages if I might add. I am a translator and an interpreter
Ummm….what? So I have a question for you all. for some reason wordPress wants to capitalize the first letter of every word I type. other programs are not doing this, just wordPress. Actually two questions, if you have multiple domains on your site and you go into Google console and it says you have a…
I risked my life going into my two teenage son’s room alone last week. It started with a desire to find all the missing silverware and dishware that has put us in a situation where we basically have to eat with our hands. I donned a mask and gloves as I combed through the remnants…
Adulting can be very rewarding and engaging, but damn it can be stressful! 5:30 AM – Did I take my medication or the dogs medication? 6:30 AM – Where are my keys? 6:45 AM – Where are my keys? 7:30 AM – Why aren’t the kids ready? 8:00 AM – Will I be late for…

After a demanding day, I come home and rest…for approximately three minutes, then I have to run out the door to pick up kids, attend school events, and then cook dinner, clean the house, take care of the pets, and still feel like I am not getting everything done. If I do perhaps get the…
I use social media to do a myriad of things. Although, I tend to keep things very G rated since I am a teacher, I still enjoy using social media at times. My Favorite Social Media Outlets I think my favorite social media right now is WordPress of course for blogging, but for entertainment, Tik-Tok.…
It is the end of the school day so the first thing that comes to mind is, how long till I can take a nap. Teaching and coaching are mentally and physically quite demanding. Today was a particularly exhausting day. We are on testing block schedule, so our classes are 90 minutes+ today. We did…
I met a tall bald headed middle aged man on vacation in Switzerland while hiking in the Alps. He was carrying around a laptop, which was kind of strange given the remoteness of the location. My mother had taken me on this trip and he started chatting her up, or maybe the other way around,…
The decision to work out in the morning consistently has helped me immensely. It can be hard to get out of bed and get my ass in the gym, but the benefits far outweigh the costs.
Seafood has to be my favorite food. Perhaps it is because I have lived in Southern California most of my life. I did some research on the best seafood restaurants in Southern California. Sorry if I made you hungry!
Retirement in the U.S. right now could be very expensive. On my daily prompt-I wrote about retiring and it got me thinking about where the best and least expensive places to retire were, so with help from Chat GPT compiled this list and gave an analysis. Enjoy!
Like you mean today (I teach high school)? I joke around with my students that I am in my 24th year of high school. I tell them I have been institutionalized….I no longer understand the walls outside of the high school. Some days it feels as though this is true.
Ten years will be a magical time for me, good Lord willing…I will be retiring! I have a pension that I will get to collect, plus well…there’s that pension!

I would have to say exercising with friends is the best, preferably while playing some sort of sport. I love playing baseball, softball, and golf with my buddies. The sports are fun, but the social aspect always makes it worthwhile. What is your favorite way to excercise?

Bearded Dragons can be the perfect choice for you! In addition to being an excellent species for beginners in the lizard world, it is relatively easy to maintain and full of personality. And you need a reasonably simple terrarium with little equipment. You can easily find them for sale in many colors and patterns.
How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic? I was already pretty into tech, but now it has become a way of life. Technology can be great, but it can also cause chaos. We have wnough trouble keeping up with the current reality, but when everything changes so quickly, as…
It would definitely be a baseball field! I would love to be one of those legendary coaches enshrined at the ballpark with a bronze statue. If I get back into coaching baseball and have a good run, it could potentially happen at my high school because I have been there forever.
My students provide an endless source of amusement each day as a teacher, as do my own children. High school students are always cracking jokes and playing pranks on each other. It begins at 8:00 in the morning and continues until the end of the day.

During the week I am pretty goal oriented. Teaching keeps me motivated and demands 100% of my focus most days, so there isn’t room for a lot else, like eating unhealthy food or doing things that are a waste of time
I absolutely love studying the stock market, but it doesn’t always love me back. If I could have a special ability, it would be to pick stocks winning stock trades consistently.
It is raining today in Southern California and I thought I would compile a list of popular education themed movies. Education themed movies can be very inspiring, especially for teachers and students, which we all are at some point for the most part.
My favorite type of weather is when I am out skiing and there is a snowstorm with, maybe a little bit of wind, big fluffy white snowflakes, and an accumulation of snow.
The word that best describes me is fashionista. I am really big into fashion. I have an assortment of athletic shorts that I like to wear with an assortment of collared shirts for work, or t-shirts for home.

The most confident person I know is a friend I play baseball with. Even though we are all 45 years old and older playing in a 35 and older division, he always displays great confidence at the plate or in the field.
I have always wanted to go on a shopping spree at Bass Pro Shops in Las Vegas and bring home an obnoxiously expensive bass boat after winning an impossible jackpot. I have won a few small jackpots in Vegas, but never the colossal ones (not for lack of effort).
The last thing I learned was not to slide when you don’t have baseball pants on. It may be fun to go out and dive for a ball on your Sunday softball team, but you should remember that the ground is not all that forgiving to skin!
I enjoy my job for the most part. It can be exceptionally challenging and stressful at times. You are asked to do so much at one time, remember so much, plan so much, analyze so much, and communicate clearly with a multitude of learners of varying backgrounds, language levels, learning disabilities, and all social economic…

I would ban the word gender if I had the chance. The idea that everyone has the same “gender” because there is a word for it is so asinine given our current level of scientific understanding.
I would tell my teenage self to listen to his parents more! Guess what they were right! They had a lot of the answers! You could of saved yourself so much pain and suffering!

What a great question for an Economics teacher to answer! First I look at my total revenue and see if it has been maximized by making a mental Production Possibilities Frontier curve using time and hours worked as variables to determine if I am maximizing my productivity
Patriotism can take many forms. Personally, I find patriotism important to one’s life. If you do not have anything positive to say about your country, what is the point of living there?
A few times a day I unintentionally break the law I would say. Since I am always driving and no one actually drives the speed limit, that would be a constant one.
My biography could have many titles. How Bunch Conquered the World of Industry, or How Bunch Defined Military Strategy in the 21st Century, or maybe The Life and Times of Bunch, an Epic Saga of Love, Betrayal, Intrigue, and Candy Canes….
On February 13, 2024, Sandy the Beardie crowned himself emperor of his owners Southern California home. All residents of the house immediately fell to their knees and exclaimed, “Long Live the Emperor” in unison. For the past three years Sandy the Beardie had been planning his Machiavellian strategy to seize power, then the prophesized sacred…
At my age my parents were working hard, trying to give their little boy a good life. My father commuted 2 1/2 hours to work each way so that we could live in a nice house.
My most ideal day would probably begin with a powder snow day at Mammoth Mountain, preferably at least 24″ or so riding with friends. After a hearty lunch that would definitely include chili cheese fries, it would be time to head down the mountain to Bishop Golf Course.
I have lived in California all my life so there isn’t a whole lot that I have not visited yet. I driven by beautiful Mt. Shasta in Northern California and fished the Sacramento River nearby, but would like to spend more time there. Apparently, you can get a houseboat for a period of time up there and…

An exciting 2023-24 NFL season is winding down with divisional playoff action continuing this week. The 49ers and the Ravens won yesterday to punch their ticket to the semi-final. Who will meet them there?
I would uninvent student poverty. After teaching for twenty plus years I have come to the conclusion that society should put much more into making sure children’s basic needs are met in order for them to be successful.

I live a pretty lean existence except when it comes to a few things. I have been told that I perhaps have a fishing pole problem. I tend to hoard candy canes and eat them daily. I also have 65 pets.
One day while eating lunch in the staff lounge of my high school, I happened upon a curious artifact. It had a label called “Rory’s Story Cubes” and was in the communal staff library (which means feel free to borrow and use). I immediately thought of blogging and possible writing prompts.
Happy Sunday to you all! I hope you are having a fantastic day! After a busy week of teaching, I am reminded of the importance of building a strong relationship with my students at the beginning of the year.
Living a long life could be a blessing or a curse depending on the quality and happiness of that life. One could live a long life full of : anger, resentment, pain, regret, loneliness, and sorrow. In this case, I would say it is not something to be desired.
I spend more time thinking about the future these days. I have a lot of goals that I want to accomplish and I think the happiest days of my life lie before me. I think I have dealt with most of my inner demons, or at least made enough peace with them that they keep their distance.
The greatest gift someone could give me would be more time…and maybe more energy to go along with it. Time is our most precious resource, certainly something I never have enough of
I moved to Mammoth Lakes after graduation with a friend as I guess what would today be called a “gap” year. One year turned into four and by the time my time up there was over I had met my first wife and she was pregnant.
…Sports have always been my number one form of play. When I was younger, everything fun happened outside. Being inside the house was boring, almost a punishment….
….I will go to a place that I used to take them when they were very young and I can see them playing on the playground equipment or hiding under the clothing racks at a department store…
…When I wake up in the morning and I don’t want to workout, I remember this. I remember how good it feels to have a large reservoir of energy to dive into for my students (last semester I had 215 counting my soccer class). I think about the example I am settling for them, the stories I…
If the players do not like a call by the referee they will shout “Ni” at them to voice their displeasure. During halftime, herrings would be launched into the crowd using slingshots…
I never really considered myself that creative of a person growing up, but it has turned into one of my major strengths. Teaching has really shown me this over the years…..
The biggest influences in my life are surprise…my family and friends. My mom has always been my “rock” in life through all the storms that have come our way.
William Blake, a controversial yet idealistic painter/poet of the late 1700’s gives us a window into his mind with his illustrations and poems. I could not help but think that if Blake were alive today, he would probably be a blogger!
Imagine walking into a classroom, not as a student anymore, but as their teacher with very little experience with children under your belt. It was gut check time for me, time to see if this would be my career or not.
I see the way parents care for children, siblings for one another, strangers helping others, compassion for the less fortunate, and the great lengths individuals go to help others, even at their own detriment.
Panda had a reputation for being a high-energy dog. As a Pittie-Pointer mix, she boasted an extremely athletic frame. Everyone seemed to like Panda, but they also had to hide from her because she could be “a little bit much” at times.

I live in a pretty dry area near Los Angeles so we don’t see a ton of wildlife, unless you count all the strange people that come out at night in Hollywood. We have a nice mix of crows, like lots of crows, like murders upon murders upon murders of crows
My favorite place I have visited would have to be Yellowstone National Park. Yellowstone gets a lot of hype from people, but it certainly lives up to it.
I tend to connect deeply with nature, specifically animals, probably owing to pastoral history of my family. I think this is my strongest attribute as a leader and an educator.

I was always at one party or another, living a crazy life, but I always put away a little bit of my efforts towards a better future, which really paid off for me.
Having quality after-school programs makes sense for all students: socially, emotionally, and economically. I added some extra resources onto this one!
The historical event that fascinates me the most is the building of ancient sites around the world. I am going to admit, I am a huge fan of the series, “Ancient Aliens” ….

“When he came to Los Angeles from the New York Mets, he was considered a part-time player. He showed a lot of potential, but could never quite put it together to be a full-time starter.”
I would like to take this opportunity to define a good neighbor by defining what a bad neighbor is, namely, my neighbors, we will call them Ken and Karen.

Since it is Worldwide Day of the Teacher, I thought I would recount a teaching story for this one. I felt pretty out of place the one day I substituted at an elementary school when I was exploring the teaching profession.
Once upon a time in a bustling city, there lived a man named Daniel. He was a tech-savvy individual, always at the forefront of the latest gadgets and gizmos. His days were filled with the hum of electronics….

The Quail Fire (2022) burned away the guardrails up to my favorite fishing spot last August. The road going up there has been closed since then. I noticed this week that the construction signs were gone. This morning, I got up early headed out the door to go fish, unsure whether the lake road up…
I am a very active person, so I guess it is not all that surprising that most of my things I do to relax involve activities. Nature for me is the great healer, finding some way to interact with nature, usually provides me with great joy. Not to say that I don’t enjoy time spent…
I am holding a pretty big grudge against our school district right now. They offered our union a 0% C.O.L.A. in the first round of negotiating our contract this year.
I have traveled to Europe twice which from a “farthest from home” perspective would be the farthest in miles, however, I want to write about my intellectual journey through history as the topic of this post.
Joy can be a difficult thing to find at times with all the trials and tribulations of life. Some of my most joyful moments have come on the back end of great sorrow, disappointment, and difficulty. I don’t know if you can have one without the other. To truly understand joy, you must understand some…
Sunset reminds me of the mysteries and beauty of life when I take the time to appreciate it. Living near the beach in Los Angeles, the sunsets that can be seen there, perhaps rival any other.

Where did your name come from? My parents were hippy folkish. My father wanted to name me Moonbeam or Starlight and a host of other strange names. Lucky for me, the final decision was up to my mother who chose a somewhat normal name for me….Michael! Her family practiced Catholicism. Michael, the name of God’s…
This is kind of a tough one…..but I would have to go with “you know” as a phrase. I catch myself using it all the time and it drives me crazy, but it is very handy as a colloquial saying. I hear so many “you know’s” a day that I really start to doubt whether…
What brings you peace? Getting up early and “putting the work in”. I feel a deep sense of pride when win that all important first battle of the day with the snooze button.

It is amazing to me to think that there are millions of people doing what I am doing right now, that we are all contributing to the whole of human knowledge (hopefully).
Today I registered my daughter for her senior year in high school. It sounds cheesy, but I remember when she was just a tiny little thing crawling on the floor, banging on things and laughing. Now we are worried about what classes to take, driving, and college. Seventeen years ago, I also started my full-time…
Can we bring back dinosaurs? This theme has been explored in depth in the famous Jurassic Park movies, but can we actually do it? I happen to of stumbled upon a lecture at the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles about just this question a few years ago and what they said was quite interesting.

Games have always captured my imagination. I do not think there is a day of my conscious life that I have not played some sort of game, even if it was just in my head.
What is truly essential to modern life in the United States? This is a question I ask my Economics class each year. What is the difference between a want and a need? How do we differentiate between them?
I am currently seeking a bit of both. I have a lot of time off due to being a teacher and it gives me a lot of time to adventure, but the flip side of the coin is that it takes money to adventure.
As a lifelong athlete as well as coach, I have had many days where I have had to practice or play on exceptionally hot days. Some days it feels like the sun will melt you in your uniform or training gear like a runny egg into your shoes. On these days, it is critical to…

The search for the best form of government remains an ongoing and dynamic quest. No single system can guarantee perfection, as societal needs, cultural contexts, and historical circumstances vary. Nevertheless, by combining the strengths and mitigating the weaknesses of different models, we can strive to create an optimal form of governance that promotes individual liberties,…

Voting in political elections is a very important responsibility.

Core values play a vital role in giving one direction. This has certainly been very true for me in my life.
