I love my dogs more than my kids

Here is Layla grabbing her last bat after several years of loyal service 💙⚾️🐕

For non-baseball fans: many lower league community clubs have dogs retrieve the bats after the batter hits the ball, purely because dogs are awesome and fans love it.

Staff from The Hockey Hall of Fame were here at the U CUP in Toronto.

They’re bringing Isaac Nurse’s gloves, helmet and stick down Yonge Street.

A legendary season for UNB, and Nurse got the last goal.

HUMAN

ATHLETE

SPORT

First, you learn: The foundational movements when you are a baby or toddler

creeping, crawling, rolling, sitting, reaching, grasping, squatting, stepping, pushing and pulling, bending, climbing…

 Next, we learn: Fundamental movement skills during childhood through elementary age.

walking, running, skipping, hopping, jumping, galloping, balancing, rolling around, animal crawling, swimming, skiing, bike riding, and  fundamental throwing-kicking-catching, etc

Next, we learn: Sports specific skills (as well as continue to perfect the above movements) through young childhood age, pre-adolescents, and adolescence.

soccer kicking, basketball dribbling and shooting, baseball swinging, throwing and catching on and on…

Eventually, During the early adolescent years, we can take the above skills and make them faster, stronger, longer, and more efficient…(We call that performance training!)

Remember foundations first:
Let kids be kids and immerse them into an environment where they can naturally learn to move.

That means

Lots of play…

Lots of physical activities…

Lots of sports…

Push specialization as far off as possible…

If everything is in place physically, young athletes have a much better chance to learn technique, keep away from injury, and have long-term improvement not to mention the ability to maintain a lifetime of health and fitness.
