Overprotected kids become unprepared adults.
Dawn Staley nailed it.🔥
You can’t shelter your child from every hard moment and then expect them to handle adversity when it counts.
Hard is the lesson.

"I feel so blessed, to have had that opportunity."
30 years ago today the legendary Jim Hawthorne delivered what is probably the most memorable call of his illustrious career as "Voice of the Tigers" - Warren Morris' iconic home run to win the 1996 CWS for @LSUbaseball.
We caught up with Hawthorne and visited with him for 45 minutes on his days at #LSU and what he's up to today. Watch the visit here - https://t.co/s5sBzrinYe
We all know about the walk-off home run LSU legend Warren Morris hit 30 years ago to beat Miami, but Morris lets us in on the 2 things a lot of people may not know about from that historic game. @wdsu
What a shot — and what a summer — for Mikaylah Williams, MiLaysia Fulwiley and the 3x3 national team. They won 18 of 19 games on their way to gold: https://t.co/LSFjbfQBNl
A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.
She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.
Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.
Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.
Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.
She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.
By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.
My first trip to Omaha was 1996. 30 years later @WillFurniss is taking us back. @CoachMikeBianco becomes the first to coach a father and son in the @CWSOmaha . Skip Bertman’s system still works!
#LSU eliminated West Virginia in the super regional round last year.
Now WVU is the first team to qualify for this year's CWS. It's West Virginia's first trip to Omaha.
Congrats to the Mountaineers.
@_kimadams SAS said on FT maybe weeks ago that if NY win the title, Jalen will be the greatest Knick ever, in his opinion, because of who he played and had to beat, and who his teammates were. He compared those parameters to ones of other Knick title teams. Thoughts?
