The Spurs shot selection has been garbage in the 2nd half. Can we drive the ball a bit? Maybe have it touch the paint to score at the rim or get a spray out shot?

Spent time with Nate Ament in NYC as he prepares for NBA Draft workouts. At 6’10 with a projectable frame, fluidity, and a versatile skill set, it’s easy to see why he’s a projected top-10 pick and the type of big wing NBA teams covet.

This is the first time in the modern era (since 1901) that a team's No. 1, 2, and 3 hitters have each struck out 3 times in each of their first 3 PA of a game.

How do you teach improvisation?

You build environments where the expected solution disappears.

In this week’s SG Podcast, Scott discusses VEX drills, “violating expectancies,” and why players need practice adapting when the game breaks the pattern.

NCAA is now the only sports organization on earth that can’t ban a player for betting on his own team.

8.7 billion people on one side … one Texas judge on the other.

Brendan Sorsby won a temporary injunction. The NCAA may have a permanent problem.

400 people were in the outfield of Fenway Park learning hands-only CPR earlier this week for national CPR & AED awareness!

Dr. Jennifer Ashton and 2018 @RedSox World Series champion Brock Holt joined @IntentionalTalk to talk about their impact and taking initiative.

An easy way to get unstuck is to get up and take a walk.

We generate more creative ideas during and after walking outdoors—and even on a treadmill facing a blank wall.

Divergent thinking rarely happens when we're tethered to a desk. Moving our bodies frees our minds.

Cal was coaching UMass for that ticket stub. Arkansas was fresh off a natty and preseason number 1. I asked if he remembered the game from the white ticket and he asked if I was there, I told him no that I was 7. He said you know we won by 30……..🤣🤣🤣😭

"Be on time" isn't one of Pete Carroll's rules.

"Be early" is.

He won a Super Bowl with 3 rules total.

Rule 1: Protect the team.

Not the slogan. The mindfulness.

It's pulling a teammate out of a fight.
It's not hitting the guy late in practice.
It's the call you make when nobody's watching.

Rule 2: No whining, no complaining, no excuses.

Stolen from Coach Wooden

The point isn't to be upbeat.
The point is your self-talk runs the show.
Words come first. Behavior follows.

Rule 3: Be early.

Not on time. Early.

You can't be early by luck.
You thought about it the night before.
You set the alarm.
You knew the commitment.

Being early is a sign of respect you can see.

3 rules to run an NFL locker room.

Most teams have 12 values nobody can recite.

@CBB_Central Additionally, is it still five years to play four?

[BT @BTHoops12]

@CBB_Central Is the start of the academic year date fixed? Or, is it dependent on the first day of fall classes at the institution of enrollment?
