I saw The Bear at a film festival and wasn’t ready for how jaw-dropping it is. It became a phenomenon in France, topping 88's box office.
The story of an orphaned cub that bonds with a huge Kodiak as hunters close in sounds like Disney, but it's unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
Ran a youth camp today…
I asked the question “How many of your coaches tell you to NOT watch the ball and just run?”
Almost every hand went up. 🤦♂️🤦♂️
The intelligence must be between the lines. Let them make decisions and fail making them. Stop stealing their reps.
Please!
My daughter brought her new boyfriend to Sunday dinner last month.
He’s 24, works at a COMMERCIAL TIRE SHOP, and has grease permanently stained into his cuticles.
He didn’t say much, just ate three servings of my pot roast and nodded a lot.
After they left, I told my wife I wished my daughter would date someone with a bit more ambition.
Someone who didn't look like they just crawled out from under a semi-truck.
Two weeks later, my alternator died on the shoulder of Route 9 during a torrential downpour.
I called AAA, but the wait time was two hours.
My daughter must have seen my text in the family group chat because twenty minutes later, her boyfriend's beat-up Chevy truck pulled up behind me.
He didn't have a raincoat.
He just got straight to work in the pouring rain, leaning over my engine bay while semi-trucks flew past at 70 miles per hour, spraying us with dirty highway water.
It took him forty-five minutes of wrestling with a rusted bolt to get the spare part in.
When he finished, he was soaked to the bone and shivering.
I pulled out my wallet and tried to hand him two hundred dollars.
He looked at the cash, then looked at me, and gently pushed my hand away.
He said,
"Sir, you don't pay family.
Just make sure your daughter gets home safe tonight."
I sat in my dry, warm car on the drive home feeling incredibly small.
I had judged his worth by the dirt under his fingernails,
completely missing the size of his heart.
Jim Harbaugh bought a recruit a cheeseburger during a Covid dead period and got a 3-game suspension
Brendan Sorsby gambled over 100k including on games he was playing in and got a 2-game suspension
Well said, bailing out these guys over & again, just continues to reaffirm the entitlement world in which we live, both on and off the field…
BTW, see ya Sat in the stands !! 😎😎
The judge's decision on Brendan Sorsby is indicative of where we are.
We've confused compassion & empathy with excusing behavior. This is what happens when the person who broke the rules is increasingly viewed as the primary victim.
Accountability is now cruelty.
Embarrassing.
Sorsby bet over $90,000 total including bets on his own team and gets a weak 2 games but you had athletes betting $10 on various sports that got banned for life??? Of all the messed up things that have occurred in the last 5 years in college athletics this may be the dumbest!!
The NBA, despite a solid postseason, missing out on a primetime Sunday night in June when nothing else is on, in favor of a Monday night, remains a mystery to me.
@RealCJ10 Uhhhh, @RealCJ10 just gave simple, easy to implement advice on how to adjust the issue, kids swing looks great but man that is really cool !! BTW, my BF growing up is named Wayne cuz of you, IYKYK
@mar5hallhoops Have really enjoyed your posts and banter with folks, met Ur son a few years back and he’s a terrific person !! Only thing I’d tweak is that pressing should start in 7th grade, that’s when MS ball starts which is full basketball, just a thought…
a teacher on the last day of school had all her senior students sit on the floor for one final story time. she said, “you start kindergarten sitting on a rug… so i thought you should finish the same way.”
then she sat in a chair and read them Oh, the Places You’ll Go.
and i just kept thinking about how beautiful it is when endings are handled with that much intention.
Love this, coach !! And as a ‘rule’ defenders must be close enough to touch in order to prevent slips & splits - same goes on O, if they don’t come together automatic slip 🏀🔥🏀
Every coach has his/her own defensive philosophy. Switching is an interesting topic. U either switch to create an advantage or neutralize. Don't switch out of convenience and/or laziness. Don't switch because it is easy. If u do, u are often creating a bad match-up for your team!
12u baseball is a trip. You’ve got kids the size of grown men, who have hit puberty, playing against little boys who haven’t, on a small field. The strength/size disparity is crazy!
#keepworking#travelbaseball
Anyone remember Eastbay magazine? My childhood summers were spent looking at shoes I could never afford.
Someone please make an Eastbay for Gen Alpha. Print is making a comeback!
@ThoNg676733 You cut it off before the best part !! Right after he nods he looks at his buddy and smiles like ‘OMG did you see that’ it’s hysterical !! And it was a men’s tourney, just sayin’ 🎾🔥🎾
The Town is the best crime thriller since…its release. There has not been a better heist/robbery film made since Ben Affleck directed the shit out of this movie in 2010. Affleck captured something so raw & so real here. It’s nearly impossible to recreate. This is a masterpiece.
Analytics are a tool/guide to help u make coaching decisions. Can't take the human element out of the decision making process. Trust your mind, eyes & preparation. Let the #'s be a resource. Trust yourself as a coach!
Gotta love AAU. $40 to get in per person per day, $12 to park & you have to pay again each time you leave & come back & 10:05 pm games (not a typo). 🤕
