@JakeWally Dallas against the cap. Might be worth looking for a trade first for Robo. Bruins don’t have their own 3rd in 2027 which complicates offer sheet. Could only do the very top offer. He would be a piece that fits their timeline

[Seth Gordon @SethWGordon]

@CoachJeffLeach There are some studies worth reading and David Epstein is a good author on related sports studies. Worth looking at beyond personal, acedotal studies information.

[Seth Gordon @SethWGordon]

@Goosey1994 @Dylan__Potemri @Steven202696 He isn’t good. Hasn’t been for years. This is a more expensive Elias Lindholm. Immediate regret for whomever buys that awful contract.

[Seth Gordon @SethWGordon]

@HackswithHaggs @J_Swish24 No problem starting in Providence but he doesn’t need to pay his dues. It’s more about NHL readiness and playing with men. He has to prove that. I assume that’s the logic.

[Seth Gordon @SethWGordon]

@_MikeSullivan I’d pass on both. If you told me 1-year for Arvidsson at a reasonable dollar amount I’d be ok with it. Anything more than 2 years for $8 million would be a wasted

[Seth Gordon @SethWGordon]

@_TyAnderson Feels like they had their chance to make their case for buying but fell short this week. I’m more excited to see Hagans than Faulk. Bruins fan base wants to see us grow and develop. Just making the playoffs is more a Buffalo, Detroit must. We can continue rebuild.

[Seth Gordon @SethWGordon]

@ClankoMedia Goalie is a bit different though. Development isn’t linear.

[Seth Gordon @SethWGordon]

@kelseydennehytv I do think this gets overblown. Great athletes playing or being good at multiple sports isn’t exactly an earth shattering insight. It’s logical.

The message many are trying to communicate is that early specialization has limits, pitfalls and superior athletes may overtake you.

[Seth Gordon @SethWGordon]

@RobertSpenser20 @educator4ever36 I certainly can’t speak to all schools. Are you speaking from experience keeping a poor teacher because they coach or is this more acedotal? In the districts I’ve worked and know well for 20 years , this is not a consideration.

[Seth Gordon @SethWGordon]

@RobertSpenser20 @educator4ever36 As someone who has hired teachers for 10 years, not one decision is made because of coaching. Hiring committees focus on hiring teachers of that discipline. I’ve never had a ELA, SS, or business teacher say ��well, this guy could coach our wrestling team.”

[Seth Gordon @SethWGordon]

@TweetsbyCoachP It feels logical as what would the other top reasons be. I’d have to see the data. Also, kids start to have more of a say at this age. Parents enroll in many sports and clubs and kids may lose interest or want more free time. But I’d agree burnout is a real issue.

[Seth Gordon @SethWGordon]

@darcyhenry22 @TracyJSmith13 That’s the concern for parents which fuels the youth sports business ecosystem. It doesn’t help that college is becoming so expensive that youth sports becomes a lottery ticket.

[Seth Gordon @SethWGordon]

@JeffBarnes52 @mschmidt74 Biggest challenge I have with implementing a speed or lifting program would be the issue of top HS players also doing multiple club and travel teams in addition to HS sports. They don’t have the time or energy. Club/travel trumps HS sports.

@SamSmithOnYT @BlackAndGold277 @BNGProductions No thanks

@6Merican @stevemagness

[Seth Gordon @SethWGordon]

@6Merican @stevemagness Apparently, we are counting at risk of entering poverty as the poverty rate. While your debating various poverty rates the argument I’m criticizing is medal count having anything to do with youth sport philosophy which I don’t see as a compelling argument.

[Seth Gordon @SethWGordon]

@6Merican @stevemagness Umm. Norway's poverty rate is consistently among the lowest in the world, often cited between 0.2% and 0.7%, while the US has one of the highest among developed nations, near 18%.

[Seth Gordon @SethWGordon]

@stevemagness Norway is small, wealthy, and culturally cohesive with low poverty. The U.S. is massive, unequal, and built around a pay-to-play, scholarship-driven system. That’s not apples to apples. Youth sports in America have issues — but medal counts aren’t the evidence.

[Seth Gordon @SethWGordon]

@stevemagness I’ve seen a lot of people cite Norway’s Olympic success as proof the U.S. youth sports model is “all wrong.” But the U.S. isn’t getting destroyed — winter medal counts are often close, and the U.S. regularly leads the Summer Games. Olympic results alone don’t prove youth philoso.
