Events in life mean nothing if you do not reflect on them in a deep way, and ideas from books are pointless if they have no application to life as you live it.
One day people will look back at this brilliant speech by @StephenM and see it was a turning point. Only America has the will to restore beauty and order and normalcy, and if it happens it will be thanks to statesmen like this
I still can't get over how good this is. Conservatives have always stuck with the "It doesn't work" argument against Leftism while pointing to their charts and graphs, hoping people will follow along.
But THIS is the argument to make. 👇Leftism is ugly. It's repulsive. It's disgusting. It's lame. It's immoral. It's boring. It's depressing.
This isn't a fight between two competing economic models, one of which happens to work better. This is a fight between beauty and ugliness. Building and destruction. Thankfulness and resentment. Love and hate. Greatness and cowardice. Good and evil.
I believe conditioning is important for athletes, but I don’t think there’s only one way to do it.
Sometimes it’s tempo runs, prowler tempo, bike, sport actions, etc Or you could use something like like danney ball.
I love explosive medball throws and they’re a staple in
The idea that all kids have equal potential is wrong.
When I was in 2nd Grade or so, we all took mandatory aptitude tests that were sent to Iowa for grading.
When I stumbled upon my results two years ago I was stunned by how accurate it turned out to be through my entire life.
It accurately captured my strengths and weaknesses. You could have accurately guessed my ultimate career just from these scores.
Identifying a child’s potential is really quite simple. We’ve had that down to a science for decades. We just refuse to accept there are some who are not cut out for certain things. We insist that everyone can be whatever they put their mind to, and it simply isn’t true.
"Braveheart" screenwriter Randall Wallace says Mel Gibson warned him about collaborating on "The Resurrection of the Christ": "Satan's going to come after you."
"If we do this, it can't be for the money and it can't be to get back at people that have hated us or wronged us or been unhappy with us."
Father Vincent Capodanno - “The Grunt Padre”
Born in Staten Island, Capodanno joined the Navy in 1966 and was a chaplain of 5th Marine Regiment, with whom he was deployed to South Vietnam.
In September 1967, an adjacent company was ambushed by 2,500 NVA soldiers. When Fr Capodanno heard of the attacks, he went, unarmed, among the wounded and dying in the battlefield to comfort and pray with them.
He was shot in 3 places during the gunfighting, but refused medical evacuation. He wanted to stay with his Marines.
Later that night, Fr Capodanno ran into enemy machine gun fire to aid a wounded corpsman, and was killed in action.
He was awarded the Medal of Honor the following year.
He was renowned amongst the Marines as a chaplain who willingly shared in the hardships of the men on the front lines, earning him the nickname “the Grunt Padre”.
There are many ways to train power
Sprint at least twice per week. Decide whether the session needs to emphasize acceleration, max velocity or a small amount of speed endurance based on the athlete and the sport.
From there, choose your ballistic exercise of choice.

Un vescovo cattolico spezza il silenzio: «L’islamizzazione di massa dell’Europa non è casuale. È un’agenda politica globale per cancellare la nostra civiltà cristiana.»
#islam#Europa#Chiesa#Vaticano
Horrifiée de voir Léon XIV ouvrir la porte de l'Europe à l'invasion migratoire et à l'Islam que les papes ont combattus pour préserver la Chrétienté ! Le schisme idéologique est acté, la soumission au pouvoir globaliste aussi ! 🤮

Y nos quieren hacer creer que este personaje ahora "excomulga" a la Fsspx.
Sabe más teología un monaguillo de la Fsspx que este triste sujeto.
I cannot remain silent on this.
The Pope’s decision to do this now, right as Europe is witnessing yet another wave of murders of its citizens by migrants (think of Louis, Christian, Henry, and the countless others) cannot be dismissed as a mere public relations blunder.
It is a painful slap in the face of the Christian native peoples of Europe and all those who lost their children and loved ones as a result of mass migration.
Where is the Church’s charity and compassion toward them?
Why do we not hear a word from the Pope about the 250,000 white British girls who were raped?
Why do we not hear a word about the attacks on Europe’s Churches and Christian communities?
Why do we not hear a word about the millions of Europeans who are unsafe and estranged, fast becoming a minority in their own homelands?
The Church’s silence regarding the threats European Christians face is already deafening. Combining it with telling Europeans that they must do more to “integrate and protect migrants”, is adding insult to injury.
As a new Catholic, I have generally tried to refrain from critiquing the Pope, for we do not lightly challenge the father. This, however, is not a matter of dogma or infallible teaching. The Pope has chosen to make a political and pastoral statement on migration, and on such prudential questions the faithful may legitimately form and express their own judgment.
And my opinion on this is clear: Europe does not have a moral obligation to house the entire world, especially not when it comes at the cost of civilizational destruction.
Bizarre fixation. Would at least be understandable if migrants were Christian (even if proper focus is discouraging their migration), but this suggests pope’s real priority is simply deconstructing western societies.
Cerca del Vaticano hay un cementerio donde está enterrada Desireé Mariottini, una niña de 16 años drogada y violada durante dos días hasta la muerte por una manada de senegaleses y nigerianos en el solar que ocupaban tras llegar a Lampedusa en patera.
Nunca han ido a verla.
Pope Leo takes the side of the mass invasion of Europe by criminals
demanding that Europeans should be more welcoming of their invaders
Pope Leo has never once addressed the weekly acts of terrorism and depraved violence against women, including gang rapes, being inflicted on Europeans by many of these criminals
Right after excommunicating a traditionalist group, the pope has performed a no-border PR-stunt, fitting for an antifa activist.
He has fully chosen the role as a far-left, anti-European political agitator.
Migration is NOT a neutral "humanitarian" issue. If it was only about humanity, he would also show compassion for the victims of migrant rape gangs & Islamic terror.
What is the fitting reaction?
John Wooden shares one of the greatest definitions of success.
It's one of the greatest I've ever seen - because it applies to everyone.
“Success is peace of mind attained only through self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable.”
His definition is about BECOMING YOUR BEST.
That's why it works for everyone. It levels the playing field.
We're not all born with the same resources, talents, or opportunities - but we all have the ability to give our best.
The goal is to be better than you were yesterday. Success isn't a title you earn.
It's a standard that you choose every day.
Ask yourself: "Did I grow today? Am I working to be my best?"
John Wooden's definition cuts through the noise and brings it back to what you can control:
Effort. Attitude. Growth.
Train the upper body to be explosive!
For some reason, upper body plyometrics and explosive training continue to be under utilized and under programmed.
They give you another way to train RFD, expose the upper body to high velocity actions, and help prepare athletes for the
