As I end my career as a Beaver, here’s the email I sent Coach Casey and Bailey nearly 4 years ago hoping for another Fall at OSU. And now we are National Champs!! Thanks for an amazing ride Beaver Nation!
We talked to nearly 100 people about youth sports in New Jersey and found a predatory industry that is leaving parents broke, exhausted and wondering how the games of their childhood took over their adult lives. Our six-month investigation: https://t.co/plE3w618qt
“Intensity control is not the opposite of ambition. It is one of the clearest signs of it.”
One of the most interesting things the Groff family observed during their year living in Trondheim was that “intensity control” in Norway meant more than using lactate strips.

Herb Sendek with a nice answer on the reflection now and later on for this Santa Clara team
"Sports is a tremendous vessel to enjoy relationships. My father was able to be in the stands with other family members, the relationships you have with your staff. The game is a vessel to accomplish that and that's what you take away. Any season, even ones that you don't win as many, they have the same outcome ultimately."
This story is actually insane:
• dude drops $2000 on a DJI robot vacuum like a lunatic
• refuses to use the normal app like a peasant
• Sammy Azdoufal fires up Claude to crack the API so he can drive it with an xbox controller
• Claude delivers the goods
• pulls an auth token from their servers, connects successfully
• except the system thinks he controls 7000 vacuums
• checks again
• yep, seven thousand
• DJI built authentication with zero device ownership verification
• any valid token works for any unit on the planet
• Sammy now has eyes inside homes across 24 countries
• live vacuum camera feeds everywhere
• full floor plans from the mapping data
• some guy in germany eating cereal at 3am, unaware his roomba is snitching
• one API call away from being the most informed burglar in history
• all he wanted was to steer his vacuum with a joystick
• does the right thing and reports it
• DJI fixes it in two days
• back to normal life with his stupidly expensive floor cleaner
• IoT companies stay undefeated at shipping garbage security
"If they don't want to be there for their own reasons it's not going to matter. I hope that point is well received"

For performance, the tortoise really does beat the hare.
A big new study looked at 34,000 elite performers found that:
Early success rarely predicts adult achievement.
Exceptional young performers peaked quickly but narrowly mastered one thing.
Exceptional adults reached their peak gradually. They engaged in broader, multidisciplinary practice early on.
Billy Donovan opens up about the cost of chasing validation through achievements.
“I was depressed because I lost total sight of what it’s all about…If it’s all about the ring and the trophy, you lose the most valuable thing…the group of people and the relationships that are established.”
If your identity becomes consumed by the rings and championships, inevitably you’ll lose the very thing that makes the achievement meaningful and the journey fulfilling.
The people, the relationships, and the shared purpose.

@GipsonOSU@TBazzana@BeaverBaseball My first Fall - 2013. Didn’t take long for me to realize I should probably hang out with @AJ_Peterson1 at the bunt station while Conforto was hitting em over the lights to the train tracks.
@TronCarterNLU@BigRandyNLU and @ trap draw constituents, we got a developing Sunday morning story in need of monitoring. Beached Whale in Yachats, OR. Facebook groups are popping off and have boots on the ground for latest updates.
