El momento en el que el gran Justin Verlander se da cuenta de que la encargada de ir a sacarlo del montículo por última vez en su carrera es su hija.
🥺⚾️
Very sad. I pray this young man pulls through. Keep fighting.
John and Christina Mayich have two requests.
First, they want the world to learn more about their son, Matthew.
Second, no matter where you are from or what faith you follow, say a prayer for him

Well articulated!
I think we can all agree😉 most of us don’t move like elite athletes by default.
So when we hear people say, “just move naturally” or “trust your natural pattern,” we have to be honest about what that really means.
Because for most people, “natural” movement is built on survival.
It’s shaped by compensation, restriction, and whatever the body had to do to get the job done, not by what’s efficient, sustainable, or elite.
Just because something feels familiar doesn’t make it optimal.
And just because it worked at one level doesn’t mean it holds up at the next.
That’s why coaching isn’t about protecting what’s natural.
It’s about helping the body access what it was actually capable of, not just what it defaulted to.
And the idea that movement is fixed or hardwired ignores how adaptive, responsive, and plastic the human body truly is.
I’ve seen hitters completely reshape their patterns by gaining access to better joint positions, cleaning up force transmission, or rethinking intention.
That doesn’t happen if you treat their current strategy like destiny.
And when you reduce athletes to a single movement style or category, you stop asking questions. You coach the pattern, not the person. You see everything through the lens of confirmation, not curiosity.
Movement isn’t a type. It’s a solution.
And sometimes that solution works.
But sometimes it’s the only option the body had.
My job isn’t to reinforce the box they’re already in.
It’s to help them see how many doors are actually available.
Because movement isn’t identity.
It’s access.
And great coaching gives athletes more of it, not less.

Mastering a skill can take decades, but the learning process unfolds across multiple timescales, from mere moments to days. A new paper by three former SFI postdoctoral fellows presents a theoretical model of nested timescales of learning, offering a unified, multi-scale account of skill acquisition.
The study grew from a conversation between co-authors @mingzhen_lu, @VickyCYang, and @TylerMarghetis during SFI's 2020 Postdocs in Complexity conference.

This new Gaudreau brothers/Tony Voce feature on the tragic Boston College off-season is beautifully done. Part of our "Game On" College Hockey Show on ESPN+. Greg Brown's soundbites are precise, powerful and poignant.

I think in our world today, it's really easy to beat ourselves up about stuff that's happened in the past.
It's really easy to be stressed and anxious about something that hasn't even happened yet in the future.
And it's a lot harder to really focus on the here and now. But not even just focusing on the here and now, really enjoying the here and now.
So many of the successful people that I've been around, they're in the moment.
Their feet are where they are and they're really able to cherish, enjoy and work on what's right in front of them.
I know it's difficult at times. Maybe even all the time.
There's stuff that happened in the past that’s tough to let go. There's stuff that hasn't happened in the future that keeps us awake at night.
But if we truly want to be great at what we do, one of the most important things that we can do is be in the present. Right here, right now.
You can’t change the past. But you can ruin the present by worrying about the future.
This is fantastic.
Borrowed from a FB page for Softball, but thought it applied to all sports:
This is how it should be 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
“People always asked "Why do you pay so much money for your kid to do sports”? Well I have a confession to make; I don't pay for my kid to to do sports. Personally, I couldn't care less about what sport she does.
So, if I am not paying for sports what am I paying for?
- I pay for those moments when my kid becomes so tired she wants to quit but doesn’t.
- I pay for those days when my kid comes home from school and is “too tired" to go to her training but she goes anyway.
- I pay for my kid to learn to be disciplined, focused and dedicated.
- I pay for my kid to learn to take care of her body and learn how to correctly fuel her body for success.
- I pay for my kid to learn to work with others and to be a good team mate, gracious in defeat and humble in success.
- I pay for my kid to learn to deal with disappointment, when they don’t get that placing or title they'd hoped for, but still they go back week after week giving it their best shot.
- I pay for my kid to learn to make and accomplish goals.
- I pay for my kid to respect, not only themselves, but others, officials, judges and coaches.
- I pay for my kid to learn that it takes hours and hours, years and years of hard work and practice to create a champion and that success does not happen overnight.
- I pay for my kid to be proud of small achievements, and to work towards long term goals.
- I pay for the opportunity my child has and will have to make life-long friendships, create lifelong memories, to be as proud of her achievements as I am.
- I pay so that my child can be in the gym instead of in front of a screen...
- I pay for those rides home where we make precious memories talking about practice, both good and bad.
-I pay so that my child can learn the importance of time management and balancing what is important like school and keeping grades up
...I could go on but, to be short, I don't pay for sports; I pay for the opportunities that sports provides my kid with to develop attributes that will serve her well throughout her life and give her the opportunity to bless the lives of others. From what I have seen so far I think it is a great investment!”
