Earlier this week, Michelle and I called our friend @KamalaHarris. We told her we think she’ll make a fantastic President of the United States, and that she has our full support. At this critical moment for our country, we’re going to do everything we can to make sure she wins in November. We hope you’ll join us.

Together with FIH President Tayyab Ikram, Polish Hockey Association President Rafał Grotowski and FIH EB Member Piotr Wilkoński, the captains of all teams currently participating in the Men’s FIH Hockey Nations Cup (Austria, Canada, France, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Poland and South Africa) planted a tree in Gniezno, Poland, as a part of the “Give back to Forest” project that was initiated by President Ikram last year: Hockey giving back to forest! (https://t.co/EfHN3s57Wt)
“Contributing to a better planet, and especially protecting the environment, is a fundamental part of the FIH Empowerment and Engagement strategy”, the FIH President said at the time of the launch of this project. Poland has already committee hundreds of trees.

Caitlin Clark landing a $20 million-plus signature shoe deal with Nike should end all debate on whether she made the right financial decision going to the WNBA.

Not only did she already have an NIL deal with Nike, but Iowa is a Nike school, and she wouldn't have had the free agency leverage to negotiate this while in college.

For context, Clark met with three brands, per @ShamsCharania — Nike, Adidas, and an Under Armour meeting featuring an appearance from Stephen Curry.

Nike came in over the top and got the deal done.

So, shoutout to Caitlin Clark and her team. It's a massive deal, and everyone in the WNBA will benefit from it.

For environmental sustainability reasons, FIH announced some years ago the importance of hockey moving away from watering artificial turf and working with the turf industry to develop surfaces that no longer need to be watered. The first ever FIH #Hockey5s World Cup, currently being played in Oman, is also the first global FIH tournament to be played on one of these new, non-watered surfaces - a significant step forwards for the sport. As part of efforts to reproduce as closely as possible the aspects of watered turf that give athletes the opportunity to showcase their skills, during the tournament the FIH is testing a completely new ball technology. In another first, the tournament is being played with innovative new “wet balls”, developed by scientists from the University of Ghent in Belgium. In simple terms, these balls absorb some water when being submerged before each match, which is then released in tiny drops as the ball rolls across the surface, resulting in a thin layer of water between the ball and the surface, and also between the stick and the ball. This significantly improves the smoothness of hockey skills during play on the dry turf. Whilst this technology is being thoroughly assessed on an ongoing basis, the first feedback, from the players, is very positive. “The idea of a wet ball to use on a dry pitch is very innovative. It has come at a very good time for us as it fits with our goal of minimising hockey’s impact on the environment, by using much less water to play our sport. I believe we are moving in the right direction”, said FIH President Tayyab Ikram.
