I bet I'm not the only one who was doing it wrong.
Be honest, you don't do it this way either, lol.

Useful knots you should know 🪢

A community college professor named Marty Lobdell taught the same study skills lecture for 30 years. The video quietly became one of the most watched educational recordings online, with over 10 million views.

He spent his career watching students fail not because they were lazy, but because no one had taught them how their brain actually works when learning something difficult.

The lecture, “Study Less Study Smart,” contains a powerful framework.

Your brain cannot sustain focus the way most people believe. Studies show the average learner hits a wall between 25 and 30 minutes. After that, efficiency collapses. You’re still sitting there, but almost nothing is being absorbed.

Lobdell told the story of a student who planned to study 6 hours a night, 5 nights a week. Thirty hours total. She failed every class. She was not lacking effort. She was confusing time near books with actual learning. The fix is simple: when focus drops, stop, take a 5 minute rewarding break, then return. That reset makes a massive difference.
He also destroyed the myth of highlighting and re reading. Recognition is not the same as recall. To prove it, he read 13 random letters. Almost no one remembered them. Then he turned them into “Happy Thursday.” The entire room recalled them instantly. The brain stores meaning, not repetition.

This is why elaborative encoding works so well.

Finally, he shared the most important principle: 80 percent of study time should be active recitation. Close the book and explain the material in your own words. Teach it to someone else or an empty chair. Retrieval is where real learning happens.

His closing line stuck with me: If this information does not change your
behaviour, you have not actually learned it.

The best students do not study more hours. They stop confusing the feeling of studying with the reality of learning.

Stop Using the Back Leg to Create Momentum.

We don’t want to actively use the back leg to create momentum down the mound.

What we see a lot with guys at ThePitcherLab who push is that the hips are facing forward while the shoulders are also facing forward.

There’s no torque.

There’s no stretch through the oblique sling.

You don’t get any hip to shoulder separation.

What that creates is both the hips and shoulders having to fire at the same time, and the throw becomes passive.

What we actually want is to keep the pelvis counter rotated for as long as possible.

Then at the very last second, the pelvis can fire.

That’s all I’m really thinking about now.

How can my back leg help keep the pelvis counter rotated, and then at the very last second, help the pelvis fire.

Sometimes this world wears you out and leaves you cynical … and then you see a moment like this and realize there will always be more good than bad.

The Church is not the hope of the world... Jesus is. This is why it's essential that the church relearn and reapply his actual words, ways, and works so that it can reflect its founder.

Forget engaging culture for a just little while and engage Christ.

The LORD said:
These people approach me
with their speeches
to honor me with lip-service,
yet their hearts are far from me,
and human rules direct
their worship of me.
—Isaiah 29:13

A rightly postured heart is better than religious-sounding words.

It's OK for Christians to lose the Culture War. It was never our war to begin with.

We were called to create a countercultural community of love, unity, and faithfulness to Jesus.

[Bishop Michael F. Burbidge @BishopBurbidge]

As Americans, we are witnesses in just the past few weeks to a vicious pattern of political and social disorder. At Annunciation Catholic Parish in Minneapolis, the killings of Harper Moyski and Fletcher Merkel, two innocent children. In Charlotte, the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska. And now the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, known for his commitment to civil and rational discourse. We entrust each of these victims to God, our Heavenly Father and author of every human life, and his son Jesus Christ, the reason for our supernatural hope.

What we see unfolding in our nation is a vicious pattern of hatreds rooted in the rejection of God, of the dignity of the human person, and the sanctity of the family. We can eradicate these ills only through a firm reliance on God, through a deeper devotion to Christ and the Gospel, through a sincere love for persons reflected in law, and through a renewed commitment to justice and public order.

We are living through a perilous moment. Our challenge is not only one of partisan disagreement, law, and policy, but in a deeper way our challenge is to uphold the central goods of American political life: of faith, of families, and of a national commitment to live together in harmony as brothers and sisters.

We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

People ask me all the time why I share the hard stuff so openly.

Why talk about the divorces? The drinking? The car wreck when I was drunk

Here's the thing. We identify with failure much better than we do success because each of us has misstepped at some point in our lives.

When I stand up and say I've been divorced twice, fired three times, had two DUIs suddenly people don't feel so alone in their own struggles.

They realize that if this guy who managed in the World Series can mess up that badly and still find redemption, maybe there's hope for them too.

I'm not trying to be the hero of my story.

I'm trying to be transparent and authentic because that's when real connection happens.

That's when someone in the back row thinks, "If he can get sober, maybe I can too. If he can find happiness in marriage, maybe there's hope for mine."

The truth is, I've been given a platform to share experience, strength, and hope through the lessons I learned the hard way.

I don't tell people what to do....nobody wants to be told what to do. I just try to be a guide on the side

Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can say is: "Me too. I've been there. And here's what I learned."

That's where healing begins.
