@SuitUpVarsity Kathy Foley, Blair. Outstanding athlete. I believe she still has the single game scoring record at Blair and maybe other records as well. One of the first athletes to be inducted into their hall of fame. Played softball at NE starting all 4 yrs. Coached at Dana College.

@mahannahkari That is awesome!!

[Marla Ryan @MarlaRyan11]

@Abby_Barmore Bergan for sure! But fear it will be one of the outsides that are carrying their teams! Which is not fair to Bergan or any of the Husker players, ie Harper should be a candidate as well!

There is an inverse relationship in youth sports between focusing on winning and developing players.

You cannot do both optimally at the same time.

The more you prioritize winning, the less resources you have to dedicate towards development.

The adult desire to win puts a focus on structure & schemes, wasting valuable (and already limited) practice time that could be better spent in dynamic skill building environments.

It breeds early positional specialization which limits well rounded development opportunities for all kids.

It forces young kids into a performance mindset that inhibits creativity & risk taking.

Long term growth is sacrificed for short term results.

Remember, selection bias is what creates the illusion that players on youth ‘elite’ teams are developing at faster rate than they otherwise could be in an environment that prioritizes development.

Coaches who run a 2-3 zone in 4th grade basketball probably order chicken strips at a steak house….

@NCAAVolleyball @NCAA @PennStateVBALL @LouisvilleVB @HuskerVB How is there not a setter? Those kills don’t happen without one! Unreal! If it’s an all tournament ‘team’, should probably include a setter! This is disappointing! Lexi Rodriguez also deserved to be on it as well! If we choose 18 for the BIG10 team why are there only 7 here?

Players: The person you are is far more important than the player you are. Your athletic talent is very temporary, but your character lasts a lifetime. What are your habits? Do you work hard? Are you humble? Grateful? Honest? Do you care for others? Character always follows you!

Wow. LOVE this new ad called “Dear Nike” by @xx_xyathletics 💗 Tomorrow is #XXDay so please join us in asking @Nike to do the right thing by standing up for girls & women by keeping boys & men OUT of our sports.
Great job @JenniferSey
