I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again. Blessed with an amazing life.
Who cares if someone takes advantage of your kindness??? It’s free. Who cares if you give more goodwill than you receive??? It’s unlimited. Who cares if you make yourself vulnerable to others??? You know you’re strong. If you do the opposite, who knows what it will do to others.
No one uplifts or represents the dreams of a community anymore. If we don’t reform our pay-to-play model, professional sports in the USA will soon become a dream exclusively for children born into an ever-shrinking caste of the wealthy relatives of former pro/college athletes
One of the reasons the NBA has become less interesting to me is it just seems like every recent draft pick is some private school kid who grew up rich, went to 3 different high schools, and has NBA relatives. It’s a natural end-state of skyrocketing youth sports costs.
@GILM180401 I assume this tweet is about wanting to visit Uzbekistan after watching the short YouTube video about their history at halftime last night 👍🏻
Last night, @BHSBaseball10 trailed for a grand total of six batters, the first time the Falcons trailed all postseason. Then they unleashed their bats against one of the top pitchers in the state, smashing their way to a Class 3 state title. #mopreps https://t.co/BdgVaPYLux
Congrats to the Blair Oaks Falcons! State Baseball Champions! Absolute domination here at the Final 4, outscoring their two opponents 21-1. In 6 postseason games, Blair Oaks outscored opponents 63-2.
With my two daughters, I’m navigating a youth sports ecosystem that couldn’t be more different than the one I grew up in.
Very little unstructured sports among neighborhood kids
Rec leagues that are poorly run and offer little to no development
Club teams that are light years ahead of everything else but carry absurd costs
How did we get here? Is there a way out?
@Dave52411051@dieselgreenhaus I don’t but I loathe violence and death because I worship the One who defeated death by death. The only crusade we need is the one in our own hearts.
