En bien ou en mal, Wemby est tellement rafraîchissant pour la NBA et le sport en général
- Il pleure de joie " juste " après une qualification en playoffs et refuse la meta nonchalant
- Il dit clairement qu’il voulait le MVP, qu’il estime avoir été volé, et assume vouloir prendre sa revanche en playoff, Pas de discours mainstream crari : " je pense uniquement aux trophées collectifs "
- Il s’est créé une rivalité avec un joueur beaucoup moins fort que lui parce qu’il l’a battu à 15 ans, il le hagar à chaque match et va ensuite dire aux journaliste qu’il est nul 🤣🤣
- Il demande à ses remplaçants d’aller cogner les adversaires quand le match est perdu mdrr
Le poto est fou et il assume
« L’Alien » vient vraiment d’une autre planète. Il nous a donné une leçon de calcul mental ce soir, après le match.
Même l’ami @JaredWeissNBA l’a relancé à la fin en lui demandant combien font 35 x 24. La réponse a fusé en deux secondes : « 840 ». 😭
Le sport de haut niveau n’est pas bon pour la santé.
Relis cette phrase autant de fois que tu en auras besoin pour l’accepter.
D’après une étude de l’INSEP (Institut National du Sport et d’Expertise de la Performance), portée sur les athlètes français de haut niveau :
Les types sont tellement déterminés à coller le slibard de Steph, que même s’il sort du terrain ils le suivent…
Collin Sexton s’exécute… « le chef va pisser, j’vais pisser » 🫡😂
En vrai les deux exagèrent, mais c’est tellement représentatif 😅

A story for kids and parents about Jeff Malott who scored a pretty nice goal here against the Sharks:
We were recruiting Jeff when I was still coaching at Cornell. Benny our other assistant liked him as a player, but he hadn't yet jumped off the page. He had average production in the AJHL as a 19 year old and was going back for his 20 year old age-out year in junior hockey.
At the beginning of the season, Jeff with his playing schedule couldn't get out for a visit but his parents were driving distance so they drove out to see campus and meet us as a coaching staff. On that visit, we absolutely fell in love with his parents - they were such great people. I cannot understate enough how much of a positive effect their visit had on our staff.
Jeff had a pretty good start to his 20 year old junior year. Our research on his character was off the charts and meeting his parents we were blown away as well. And even though he hadn't yet proven himself in junior hockey (only 6 goals and 20 points in 53 games the prior year in the AJHL), we offered him a spot in our program. At worst, he would be a potential captain.
Turns out his 20 year old year he scored 60 points, he lead his team to an AJHL championship (he also won a junior B championship a few years earlier), and became the captain at Cornell for the team that was number one in the country before Covid canceled the season.
He signed a pro contract out of Cornell but only played games in his first season in the AHL and the ECHL. But with his character he just kept working, was a great leader, and willed his way to the NHL where he's scoring goals like this for the @LAKings.
Benny's eye for talent is incredible seeing something in him even though he hadn't yet popped in junior hockey and he wasn't heavily recruited. And his character along with his family's character was just off the charts.
I share this story because like we say all the time - everyone has a different path to high level hockey. And the players that are resilient, outwork everyone, and stay the course even if they don't get the result in the time they want it are the ones who put themselves in the best position to achieve their dream.
And for the parents - we recruit and evaluate you too, not just your kids. Any college coach will tell you that they've crossed kids names off their list based on the behavior of a parent.
But it goes the other way too.
We fell in love with Jeff's parents and that absolutely played a role in our decision to offer him a spot in our program.
Seeing this goal, there are a lot of people who couldn't be happier for Jeff and his family.

Upgrade your youth lacrosse practice by rethinking your warmup.
Younger kids don’t need elaborate stretching routines. They are made of rubber & have very little risk of pulling muscles.
Most ‘speed & agility’ training delivered by lacrosse coaches is fluff; it’s not actually training speed nor agility.
Set up all those mini goals & tennis balls as early as you can before practice.
Tell kids that they can start playing pickup as soon as they show up to the field. Let this unstructured play continue into your portion of practice typically dedicated to stretching, speed, agility etc…
Your players will be plenty warmed up physically & they will be in a great place mentally. You’ve also added exponential opportunities to make decisions within your session.
You are creating a culture of showing up early — not because of ‘hard work’ & ‘discipline’ — because you are cultivating JOY.
Powerful stuff.
Hamstring Plyometric Catches
I got this one from @JoeyBergles & @schlesstrength which are two phenomenal strength coaches who have coached big time players.
There’s no secret either.
Mimicking deceleration, strides firing the posterior chain, and just overall hamstring dominance as athlete.
Give them a shot on your lower days and let me know what improvements you see for yourself athletically.
