🚨🎙️ Thierry Henry on Lamine Yamal role in Barcelona loss to Atletico Madrid

"Listen, I’m not here to make excuses — we lost the match and Atletico got the three points tonight. But I have to say something about the kid, Lamine Yamal.

At 18 years old, carrying the weight of expectation on shoulders that should still be carefree… the boy was unplayable at times. The way he takes the ball in tight spaces, the bravery to ask for it even when we’re losing, the quality of his decisions — it’s special. Very special.

He made Atletico panic every time he got on the ball. You could see the experienced players doubling up on him, and still he created moments out of nothing. Moments that remind you why we all fell in love with this game.

Today we lost, but football wins when you have talents like Lamine. He’s not the future anymore… he’s already here. And he showed it again tonight, even in defeat.

Respect to the boy. Big respect."

Elon Musk makes his first post from his new verified TikTok account

“We gotta be excited about the future. We gotta do things that make us want to live. You know, it cannot always be about problems every day. I mean, do you wanna wake up every morning and everything's just a problem? Well, what inspires you and what makes you excited about the future? There's gotta be some things like that”

This is inspiring

When shots are falling—focus on the process.
When shots aren’t falling—focus on the process.

So much of success comes down to showing up, weathering storms, staying in the moment, trusting your training, and making the next best move. It’s true in golf. It’s true in life.

After last year’s roller coaster victory at the Masters, Rory McIlroy came out firing on all cylinders. After 36 holes, he led by 6 strokes, the biggest margin at that juncture in 90 years of tournament history.

But then, on day three, he played a terrible round that included 3 bogeys and a double bogey. His entire lead was erased—he was tied for first heading into the final round.

He began the final round with more erratic play and by hole six was multiple shots back.

It was hard to watch.

Throughout it all McIlroy stayed calm and collected. No thrown clubs. No poor body language. Just a focus on the next shot.

He hung in there. Stopped the descent. Then stroke by stroke turned things around. He reclaimed the lead on 11 and made birdies on 12 and 13 to go up two shots.

The rest is history.

McIlroy won the Masters for the second year in a row, becoming only the fourth golfer ever to do so, along with legends Nick Faldo, Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus.

"One of the things that I love is focusing on the process over the prize... I would say to myself a lot: 'Process over prize. Process over prize. Process over prize, just to take myself away from the outcome," McIlroy says.

"I can get real caught up in the outcome. I just really need to remind myself that the outcome will ultimately happen if you just focus on the process. It takes care of itself."

McIlroy's instinct is backed by research.

Multiple studies find that those who focus on outcomes—winning, rankings, scores—experience more anxiety and reduced engagement. People who focus on the process—technique, the next action, what's in their control—perform better under pressure.

The reason is that outcome goals activate threat responses in the brain. Process goals keep you in the present moment.

It’s easy to show up when everything is clicking. But things will inevitably go wrong. You’ll make a great effort and still fall short. The winds will blow one way, then another. You’ll face moments where your emotions flare and things fall apart.

What matters most isn’t the adversity. It’s how you respond. Again and again and again.

There’s a reason so few people repeat at the Masters. There are so many variables. It is so hard to stay focused and play to win with history riding on the line.

When you think you’ve got it in the bag, you’re almost always wrong.

In today’s final round, there were four different leaders and every single one fell off, except for one: Rory McIlroy, who maintained his lead for the last 9 holes.

It’s not that outcomes don’t matter. (They do.)

It’s that what gives you the best shot at achieving your goals is focusing on the process and digging where your feet are.

When you focus on the process you put the shot that could have been or should have been or might have been behind you.

You play where you are. Which is the best way to play.

In golf. In sport. In life.

[Earth @earthcurated]

Life is short—live it boldly, love it deeply, and leave no room for regret.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Rory McIlroy shares one of his favorite mantras and mindsets.

"One of the things that I love is focusing on the process over the prize."

"I would say to myself a lot: 'Process over prize. Process over prize. Process over prize.'"

"Just to take myself away from the outcome."

Own the process and focus on what you can control.

Then he mentions what happens to all of us:
"I can get real caught up in the outcome. I just really need to remind myself that the outcome will ultimately happen if you just focus on the process. It takes care of itself."

Everyone loves outcomes, very few love the process.

It means focus, discipline, consistency, and relentless commitment.

It doesn't matter what you want, it matters what you are willing to consistently do.

Jared Isaacman is absolutely killing it at NASA. After decades of boring DEI slop, the agency finally feels exciting and cool again. Refreshing to have some positivity in an otherwise depressing environment.

🚨 NOW: Trump NASA chief Jared Isaccman just PERSONALLY arrived on-scene for the splashdown of the Artemis II crew

He really cares.

They're about to enter the atmosphere HOT with the heat shield keeping them safe

ALMOST THERE! 🇺🇸

[Blake Burge @blakeaburge]

The smartest people I know all have this in common: They change their minds often. It’s not a weakness, being wishy-washy, or a sign of flaky beliefs. It’s proof that their ego doesn’t outrank new information. The goal isn't to be right, it's to get it right.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

Nobody tells you this: Ignore your mood. It doesn't matter whether you want to do the thing. It matters that you said you'd do it. The world belongs to the people who show up and do what they said they'd do. Reliability is the key to life. Just keep showing up.

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

Four humans are about to fall into a 10,000°C wall of plasma at 25,000 mph with a heat shield NASA knows is flawed. Tomorrow evening. Off the coast of San Diego.

Orion hits the atmosphere at 36 times the speed of sound. The air can't move out of the way fast enough, so it compresses into a shockwave twice as hot as the surface of the Sun. The plasma ionizes the surrounding air and blocks all radio signals. For several minutes, the crew is falling faster than any humans have ever traveled inside a spacecraft, and nobody on the ground can talk to them.

The heat shield is 186 blocks of a material called Avcoat glued to a titanium skeleton. It works by charring, melting, and disintegrating on purpose. The destruction of the outer layer is the cooling mechanism. There is no backup system. No redundancy. The heat shield works or the crew doesn't come home.

The Artemis I heat shield came back with over 100 locations where chunks had ripped off. NASA spent two years figuring out why, concluded it was gas pressure building up inside the material during reentry, and decided not to replace the shield. They changed the flight path instead. Steeper angle, less time in the danger zone. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said publicly that this approach "is not the right way to do things long term."

The capsule will slow from 25,000 mph to 17 mph in thirteen minutes. Parachutes don't even deploy until the last four. Everything before that is managed by a curved piece of titanium and glue entering air twice as hot as the Sun.

Tomorrow at 5:07 PM Pacific, San Diego might hear a sonic boom. That sound is four people betting their lives on NASA's math being right.
