Someone have ESPN’s number???
Any way to get these ladies off the screen and to stop talking during the Iowa UCon game? GEEZ…. way, way too much.

@Karie12100 @paksaltofull I talk about perfectionism in BATC. It all depends on what type...maladaptive perfectionism or adaptive perfectionism. The former can cause great difficulty, self loathing...the latter not so much. Most high level athletes in sports have some level of it...hopefully the latter.

@Karie12100 @paksaltofull When I coached, I found that more common than what I liked to see. The girls just not thinking enough of their abilities and potential. I consistently had to inspire them to be more than what they saw for themselves. There was somuch more inside if they only looked. All to common

@CondoleezzaRice I hope you are strongly considering the suggestion in my letter to you. We, the world, needs you now more than ever....and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Sadly...I believe we are all in for some hard times....😥😥😥.

[Kirk Mango @KirkMango]

@bartconner AGREE 100%... something that needs to be earned not simply given!!!

[Kirk Mango @KirkMango]

@laurenjiggetts @DanJiggetts Too cute!!!

[Kirk Mango @KirkMango]

@CoachHStewart That concept is throughout vvvvv...😉😉😉

[Kirk Mango @KirkMango]

@CoachHStewart Mentality...as in mindset....that can be developed...all boils down to whether the athlete is committed to doing such...😉

@LaurenStrec So CRAZY....

WHAT makes Simone Biles so different than many....it is
HOW she thinks!!!

Biles response to a reporter who had asked her why she still performs a Tsukahara Double Pike when it is not getting as much credit as it should...“Because I can."

Is it in YOU?

@HeathenSassy MORE CLOSE UP

[Kirk Mango @KirkMango]

@HeathenSassy Ah...HELL YEA!!!

[Kirk Mango @KirkMango]

@Dmoceanu To her credit....she has taken the high road by admitting her error rather than LIEING about it like countless others of the past have. That does speak positively to her character in this situation.

[Kirk Mango @KirkMango]

@Dmoceanu Conflating the two as one, even though there is direct connection between them, complicates the discussion.

Current evidence supports the idea that, like caffeine, marijuana should be removed from WADA's list.

However, she KNEW the rules and broke them... that is cut and dry.
