Most people think being wealthy is having a fancy car, expensive watch, or a big home.
It's really about having the ability to have coffee with your wife, gym in the afternoon, lunch with friends, and being able to see your family for dinner.
The Nova Knicks are, in fact, a proof in concept, an antidote, answer and solution to everything that is ailing college basketball. https://t.co/OYKSa2X5Tu
If you turned on the TV in another country and saw the leader's daughter-in-law giving him a softball interview on a major "news" channel, you would rightfully assume that country is a tinpot dictatorship.
Your body at 40 is at a fork in the road.
One path leads to strength, mobility, and independence at 80. The other leads to frailty, chronic disease, and dependence.
Here's what happens if you don't start exercising at 40:
A PARENT’S JOURNEY THROUGH YOUTH SPORTS:
Age 5: “He’s got a cannon.”
Age 6: “He’s the fastest kid out there. Coach said so.”
Age 7: “Rec ball isn’t challenging him anymore.”
Age 8: “We tried out for select. Obviously made it.”
Age 9: “$2,800 for the season. Plus uniforms. Plus tournaments. Plus hotels.”
Age 10: “Cooperstown is basically a family vacation, right?”
Age 11: “He needs a hitting guy. And a pitching guy. And probably a mental performance coach.”
Age 12: “I’m not a crazy sports parent. The OTHER parents are crazy.”
Age 13: “We changed schools. For academics. (And also baseball.)”
Age 14: “Showcases are a requirement at this age.”
Age 15: “Ya his ranking just ticked up. We’re cooking.”
Age 16: “He just needs to get seen by the right school.”
Age 17: “The D1 schools want him to walk on. He’ll earn a spot by sophomore year.”
Age 18: “Okay, D2 is actually really competitive.”
Age 19: “He’s redshirting. Strategic.”
Age 20: “He’s focusing on school now.”
Age 21: “You know what? He’s so much happier.”
Roughly 7% of high schoolers play in college.
About 1.5% of those get drafted.
Less than half of draftees ever play one day in the big leagues.
The odds of our kids going pro are somewhere between “struck by lightning” and “find a $100 in old shorts.”
I love youth sports (all my kids play a bunch of them) just keep a good perspective my friends. ✌️
@mrmikeMTL Topo Chico. Saratoga a close 2nd. Mineragua a close 3rd. This is from someone who drank 80-100 ounces of Diet Coke daily and haven't had a sip in 5 years.
My plan for solving the housing crisis:
1. Arrest Hasan Piker
2. Name every street after Charlie Kirk
3. Nationwide ban on the 3 trans athletes that play volleyball
Megyn Kelly, who endorsed and campaigned for Trump in the 2024 election:
“I didn’t expect the corruption to be quite as widespread as it has been. The self-dealing, the lining of his and his family’s pockets. It’s shocking… You look across the board at the Trump family, I’ve never seen a family get so rich off the presidency.”
@BrandonTierney Literally I never went to a single clinic or private training in my life and I wasn't naturally gifted at all. The low income kids who are better athletes will eventually be found when things get really competitive.
@BrandonTierney Who are you? The expert on Youth Sports. It's all perverse and absurd and I include myself in it but I can afford it. The first time I truly played competitive sports was 10.5 years old getting ready for Williamsport, and then played through college.
