OH, CAPTAIN OUR CAPTAIN! 👏 👏 👏
Alexander Ovechkin becomes the @NHL's all-time leading scorer with goal number EIGHT HUNDRED NINETY-FIVE. Unbelievable.

Good players hope to rise to the occasion.
Great players just trust their training.
Greatness doesn’t wait for the bright lights; it’s built daily.

One extra hour a week of physical education in a 3-month school-based #PhysicalActivity intervention can have sustained benefits for movement behaviors, physical fitness, and motor competence in #children one year post-intervention.

Years ago, in a galaxy far far away, children, many of them aspiring young athletes, would spend their summer days and after school pre-dusk hours playing outside in backyards, sandlots, woods, and playgrounds across America. These marathon sessions of movement allowed children to develop many basic physical skills. Games like tag and kick the can involved sprinting and numerous changes of speed and direction. Climbing trees or wrestling with friends developed total body strength and body awareness. Riding bikes or running on trails through the woods provided very sufficient cardiovascular benefits. As the children experienced more of these activities, this foundation of physical skills grew and expanded. When the time was right as these children grew older they would use this physical foundation as a platform to learn and master more complex movements like the skills found in sports like baseball, football, soccer and basketball etc. Children played many sports throughout the school year, and summertime was for vacation and camps. The words A.C.L. reconstruction or Tommy John surgery were literally non-existent because young athletes were hardly ever exposed to one activity long enough to cause overuse problems...

🔥Dawn Staley and Dan Hurley, the G.O.A.T.s right now as the coaches of the reigning National Champions in college basketball, have spent a lot of time at their pre-championship game interviews and post-game pressers speaking about…parents! They shared at great length why they are as important as a kid’s skill, speed, or height. This is a MUST-listen for all parents.
Thank you, @coachvint and @aaronwilbur via @gregolsen88, for the original share.

My 10 year old Friday night: I want to go to a QB clinic...
My 10 year old Saturday morning: I can't wait for my basketball game today...
My 10 year old Sunday Morning: I don't want to play baseball this year...
My 10 year old Sunday afternoon after the batting cage: I can't wait for baseball games to start...
Kids literally change their mind by the hour...nothing is set in stone. Encourage them to try lot's of different stuff. Variety and diversity of movement is literally the life blood of athletic development and #LTAD
Playing multiple sports means more exposure to a varied and diverse set of movements. Through practice and repetition the athlete improves at these movements thus developing a better all around movement skill set(i.e. all around coordination, balance agility ..a better all around movement skill set then makes it easier to learn even more complex skills like those required at the higher levels of many sports...late sports specialization is best developed through early generalization...
Doesn't matter if you were born a stud or want to be a stud, playing multiple sports makes you a better athlete.
