@adaptSkill get a model + film, have nuanced talk on what theyre doing now v what they could be doing+benefits from change; frame it as “do you want to explore new movement to exploit potential gains?” rather than “must correct form”
if they say yes, design/start functional mvmt training?🤷♂️
I asked Wayne to give me a short list of things he wanted to work on. One of those things, in his words, was “lift.”
“When I miss, it’s short.”
So we set out to find a feeling.
I used the tee earlier in the week with another player for different reasons, but it felt like a simple way to help Wayne experience getting under the ball differently.
It also became a reference point. Something we could keep returning to as we explored other movements.
Sometimes that’s all it takes.
I love the simplicity of something like a tee. Beginner’s mind. Something kids use that we can return to.
I make shooting simple. Follow me.
Median projections on Omarion Hampton are the bear case - it's hard to project an absolute smash of a season w/o priors, so here's the bull case w/ stats via @FantasyPtsData:
Pre-injury Hampton (Wks 1-5) among 2025 RBs with ≥50 carries:
• #9 Explosive Run %: 6.1%
• #10 YACO/Att: 2.75
• #13 YPC: 4.76
• #16 Success Rate: 47.0%
Respectable and good across the board as a rookie. 🧵👇
Kevin is a Canadian citizen trying to build a massive data center in Utah (which isn’t in Canada) while he calls US citizens who oppose him Chinese agents.
What a world we’ve created.
This video is tough to watch but I also think it perfectly sums up Brandon Clarke. I kept coming back to it yesterday.
Gonzaga had just lost in the Elite Eight. He’d had an insane tourney. Knew he was gonna get drafted. Had only been at GU for 2 yrs, one of which he didn’t play because of transfer rules.
He could’ve easily walked off that court and immediately started thinking about his future.
That wasn’t Brandon.
All he could think about was never being able to play with his Gonzaga teammates again.
That was Brandon.
Brandon Clarke is perhaps the coolest player to play a season at Gonzaga, holding what I view as the coolest stat and highlight in program history.
Clarke averaged nearly 17 points per game on 68% field goal efficiency while being an elite defender with 3.2 blocks per game. CLARKE HAD AS MANY BLOCKS AS HE HAD MISSED FIELD GOALS in his lone season in Spokane.
He also gave us an all-time defensive highlight. Not only stealing the soul of the player who tried dunking on him but also the entire Tennessee bench seeing him rob a jam.
RIP to a special, special dude.
We’re using all the energy on Earth to create a man made digital God which we get everyone reliant on so we can have perfect prediction powers and control the outcome of every event in history by controlling the context of information people receive with perfect accuracy. Actual unironic man made horrors beyond comprehension. Prison planet. The end of free will if it even ever existed in the first place.
