@LJMaximo The fans created the perfect backdrop to the players and coaches who showed incredible poise and confidence.

The run by WVU Baseball has connected with people unlike anything I’ve ever seen.

I don’t have words to add to it, so here are the images that spoke loudest to me through the lens.

[Dan Lohmann @DanLohmann]

@ernmorris Thank you for sharing! Incredible young man who’s walking the walk.

[Dan Lohmann @DanLohmann]

@wmattwells Very kind words. I felt like a kid getting to take photos.
Amazing team led by the remarkable @stevesabins
Congrats to all of you!! Well deserved.

[Dan Lohmann @DanLohmann]

@WVUFrontiEER @WVUBaseball Thanks for saying hello! What a set of games those were.

[Dan Lohmann @DanLohmann]

@therealsennet It was so much fun to just be in the area. Unforgettable.

[Dan Lohmann @DanLohmann]

@wvubandvoice Amazing day and amazing team!

[Dan Lohmann @DanLohmann]

@LouieGeech I was friends with Dr. Alsop’s son and we went to the WVU baseball camp. Coach Ramsburg was there the entire time. Learned more baseball that week than any other time in my life.

[Steve Sabins @stevesabins]

The Mountaineers are going to OMAHA for the first time in program history.

The players, staff, admin, families, fans, supporters, alumni, administration, and entire STATE did it.

The entire WVU baseball stadium locking arms and belting Country Roads together was cool as hell.
Authentically theirs.
Those are the moments that crystalize why college sports are so awesome.

I’ve been around the sports TV business for close to 30 years - @joebrowvm works harder than anyone I’ve ever seen.

[Shawn @SHarvey28]

Hardest working man at @MetroNewsSports is @joebrowvm an it’s not even close. From film to articles to TV, he does it all. The Harvey family respects the grind. Great watching him from a far this week at @TheWVSSAC boys basketball Tourney @Bigtomwv11 @Hannah_Harvey21

Ondřej Satoria is a Czech electrician whose fastball barely tops 80 MPH.

Baseball took him from fields in Czechia to striking out Shohei Ohtani and becoming a celebrity in Japan.

Now, Japanese fans gave him a curtain call after pitching his final game.

[Fran Fraschilla @franfraschilla]

Kudos to @WVUSports AD @WrenBaker who hired @CoachGrantMac at @MeanGreenMBB. McCasland then hired @Coachrosshodge. Baker leaves for WVU & and, later, hires Hodge who did a great job replacing McCasland UNT, who left for @TexasTechMBB. I know it’s confusing but they have turned out to be two outstanding coaches in the @Big12Conference.

How to respond to a narrative written by the @TheAthletic that doesn’t exist.

[LateNighter @latenightercom]

Team USA hockey champs Jack and Quinn Hughes, Hilary Knight and Megan Keller joined Connor Storrie for his SNL monologue

[Rachel @allthedogspleaz]

The standing ovations Jack Hughes is getting everywhere he goes are further proof that the loud minority of mentally ill USA hockey haters live in an online fantasy bubble.

America loves you, Legend! 🇺🇸🦅

[Sarah Adams @sarahadams]

Watching @usahockey compete on the international stage felt like stepping back into the good old days, when you could fly the American flag proudly without someone side eyeing you for it. When representing this country was not controversial. When dominating in international competition brought people together instead of sparking a culture war.

For a moment, it felt like we remembered who we are.

There was a time when Americans did not filter every relationship through politics. You loved your neighbors. You showed up for your community. You probably did not even know who they voted for, and it did not matter. We were competitors abroad and neighbors at home. Strong. Confident. United.

Somewhere along the way, media outrage cycles, political opportunists, and even outside actors learned that division was profitable, and they have been feeding it ever since. But the reaction to this team proves something important. More Americans crave unity, pride, and shared identity than whatever this current mess has become.

That instinct, the one that swells when you see your country represented with grit and excellence, is still there. It has not disappeared. It has just been drowned out.

Most Americans want to stand shoulder to shoulder again, not scream across trenches dug by algorithms and insufferable talking heads. The hunger for unity is stronger than the noise. It would be smart to see that instead of fighting it.

Steph Curry pulls no punches…

“Your state of mind is the main driving force behind your successes and failures”

Is this true? I suspect it varies from individual to individual. But what I do know is that mindset (however that is defined) is constantly mediating three human aspects:

-engagement
-development
-performance

And what I believe is that as a result of this omnipresence, it’s critical to consider mindset for every process and in every decision. Mindset for any ambitious player and any ambitious team should be front and centre. Not because it’s the most important aspect, but because it’s constantly mediating, constantly influencing, constantly determining.

Head coaches and leaders in high performance environments need to shout from the rooftops about mindset. They need to develop it in themselves and in their people in every conversation, in every meeting, in every practice, and in every process. Mindset intentionally designed and deliberately improved.

Mindset intentionally designed and deliberately improved…

At the granular level, for me, mindset is three mental skills:

Attention
Intensity
Intent

All three impinging on engagement, development, and performance. All three impacting decision-making, task completion, solution-finding, problem-solving, communication, collaboration, contribution…

Attention - staying focused and connected
Intensity - strength of engagement (alertness and readiness)
Intent - a mind-body state influencing direction of energy (forward or back)

Steph Curry believes his state of mind is critical to his basketball. I believe it’s critical to every second of every day…for everyone!
