"Good morning. I hope you’re ready to work today. Don’t let the shirt fool you—I’m no athlete, but I expect you to be mentally fit, at least in my classroom.

You seem distracted—eyes up here. Yes, I’m aware the 'Track & Field' on my shirt doesn’t reflect my current lifestyle. Believe me, the only thing I’m racing to these days is my couch at the end of the day. But that doesn’t matter, because we’re here to train your brain, not my legs.

Speaking of which, you’ve still got work to do on those integrals. I’ll be pushing you to get it right, even if I’m not running any sprints myself. Now, sit up and focus. Ready to go?"
