Tomorrow I'm presenting to 170 principals in Quebec. But I do this all the time and I present the data and I say, here are the rates in your school.

I hate that and I get asked that all the time. It triggers me. So I always think like, well, okay, so you think you've done well, but let's just say I do a lot of stuff in sports because I'm a high performance soccer coach.
