Swimming with Sharks, a Great Reset

And 1 simple method for sticking to your goals

By Grier

Hi everyone,

Welcome back! The bright back to school energy is rippling across Rec League. Speaking of new teachers...

Coggins’ The Optimist is a favorite at HQ.

Thrilled to welcome New York Times best-selling author and angler David Coggins to Rec League. David's writing and recommendations on travel, fishing, literature and men's style have appeared in Esquire, FT, Condé Nast Traveler, and Air Mail. He also writes the #1 travel Substack, The Contender. You're in for a real treat with this one, worth every penny.

These are tools that have become default in their trade. Like Found it Rec League™ but for tools.

If packing school lunches again really snuck up on you, here are some bright ideas for snacks from two pro parents.

A simple method for sticking to your goals, employed by kids & adults.
