Cool behind-the-scenes footage of Nick Sirianni asking Saquon Barkley if he wanted to set his career-high. Sirianni wasn't exaggerating the conversation...
Brilliant Stuff from Padraig Harrington. You can apply this to any sport. Teach and encourage the love of the game, memories with the game and the rest will take care of itself.
Aaron Nola on Philadelphia and the @Phillies: “You always hear about this city being full of really tough, hard-nosed people. But what sometimes gets left out of the equation is that so many people here have a heart of gold. They’re loyal, friendly, and they’ll do anything to help you out if you need it. In a lot of ways it reminds me of what people are like back home. Most everyone I meet in Philadelphia is very kind, and they have treated everyone in my family well. Philly has opened its arms to us in a way that is truly special. It’s like a really big small town.
And when it comes to being at the ballpark?
I love the place. Coming back from road trips and driving up to the stadium, I can take a deep breath….
We’re back home.
I mean, for me, this is the best place in the world to play.
Our fans … yes, they are passionate. They want to win just as bad as we do. They expect a lot out of us. They will cheer you, they will love you, and sometimes, yes, they will boo you.
If you hustle, work hard, and play the game the right way, you will do fine.”
Know this: @CarliLloyd is the real deal. Giving honest opinions on TV, even about something as inconsequential as sports, means exposing yourself to criticism, mockery, and vitriol. But it comes with the territory. Most ex-athletes find it hard. Carli was awesome tonight.🇺🇸⚽️
Men’s College Soccer
Is it a big deal to say you play or played college soccer?
7.9% of U.S. high school men’s soccer players ended up competing in college across the Division 1, Division 2, Division 3, NAIA and junior college levels.
So yes it is a big deal!
