If you want help sharing your faith in Jesus boldly but relationally, here is my keynote talk on the topic. I also have a series of training videos. I can help you move beyond the awkwardness and fear of speaking about Jesus https://t.co/ysDkTAPdIW
@ProspectsUsmnt Wonder why Houston hasn’t brought him on trial? However, going from Usys to the u18 team would be a major increase in level and resistance

@ProspectsUsmnt@usmntaut commenting here with a kid in the academy system. You hear a lot of chatter about academies taking big strong athletes and not exactly the best players.
Your take seems the opposite - but maybe you’re assuming great soccer ability as the floor of course
@hthill@kurt13warner Could not agree with this more. Love the program and my son has been doing it three years through his growth season and now is in an MLS academy. Great for all ages and bulletproofing knees.
@NobletStrength@TaylorTwellman That makes sense and good to know. Hadn’t thought about it but with how athletic and elite at jumping they are they must be fast/explosive
There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild.
He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed.
When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them.
Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate.
The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions.
Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement.
The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean.
That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.
@RyanDivish Honest question: if your whole body goes out of the field why is that not a home run? The ball made it out. Seems like you should have to stay in the field for it to be an out. You’re bringing the ball back into play. This is not what happened
Im going to leave you with this tonight.
Underrated life skill: asking for exactly what you want. Most people hint, hope, and wait for others to read their mind. Instead, state your request directly, explain why it matters to you, propose how it benefits them too, and give them an easy out. You'll be shocked how often the answer is yes. The worst they can say is no, which is exactly where you started. People actually respect clarity. Fortune favors the bold, but it adores the specific.
