We need to remember how absurd this was at the time. We thought these were bad shots until this season.
The most expensive shooting machine ever.

This is 90% of youth sports practices.
Watching my daughter’s training and I think I would rather stick hot pokers in my eyes so as to not have to suffer.
Seriously.
Just dropping a ball and letting them play would be exponemtially better than this “training.” 😳

In my convos with HS soccer girls, many/most have never played soccer without a coach telling them what to do. ZERO FREE PLAY EVER.
I am not sensing great diversity in the @ECNLgirls club play.
Pick strong girls, run and pressure.
Am I way off base?
Sincere question.
Your observations & insights. 🙏

Great game by @seemikedunn for a quicker release.
You can’t coach feel, you sure as hell can design a game for it.
“Elbow up!” Is said 10-50x at every youth baseball practice. Sometimes it’s helpful, other times it’s not.
Must be an awesome hang.
Hopefully he can take a science class to learn that 2/3 of these are snake oil.
“Stop golfing it!” Is something you hear at every 5-8 year old baseball game. It’s helped 0 kids improve.
Try this instead
Respect Tony and many coaches who support RPR.
RPR screams applied kinesiology at best. 3 small studies on their website from 2020 and defensive language around science.
Big claims for something that has only anecdotal evidence.
May be something, may be placebo.
I'm not sure who scammed more people out of money.... Bernie Madoff or the guy who sold step-over bags to every football program in America for $200 a pop.
