I hate to be the one to say this but just because you are spending money traveling around the country playing basketball from 5th grade-12th doesn’t make you a college prospect. I hope most of these kids are out here playing because they actually just love the game of basketball

Let’s face it. Most of us in youth sports are not developing future professionals. What we are developing are future adults.

A message to parents with kids who plays sports at any level...

Athletes want positive outcomes every time! That's just not realistic in sport. This player missed a layup. He does NOT need me to tell him... "you've got to make layups!" He needs the decision reinforced. The skill will catch up with the decision. 13 second clip👇

First AAU tourney started this morning. Heard a lot of coaches screaming at kids, a lot of kids who looked miserable and a lot of unmotivated body language. The state of BASKETBALL is in a very dangerous place…

Everyone needs at least one person that: - Tells you to shut up when you are being an idiot - When you have a bad idea they tell you it’s bad - Helps you find solutions rather than just talking about problems - Encourages you to grow Not everyone needs to be your best friend

This was our mission in the early days of the House Freedom Caucus. I will defend this mission to the death. Human cooperation is about respecting differences, decentralizing power, and sharing knowledge. This is the basis of human progress.

Something needs to change!

Brilliant.

🚨🚨🚨The first trailer for the movie about Giannis and the Antetokounmpo family is here:

5. If your kid is going to be good or even great at something, they’ll figure it out. Private coaching, travel teams, and so forth aren’t going to make or break your kid. If he or she is good enough to make it at the highest level, they’ll get there.

"Hopefully like this moment, instead of thinking that we lost something we can gain and learn in order for us to put ourselves in position to win another championship." -Giannis Antetokounmpo

Too often coaches only stop play to correct errors. But sometimes we should stop play to study and recreate when something goes well. Show athletes why something worked so that it's more likely to happen again!

It has now been more than six years since any member of Congress has been allowed to offer an amendment from the floor of the House of Representatives. The person you elect has almost no power to represent you. This is an oligarchy masquerading as a representative government.

To the extent there are *any* amendments in the House, they now must be prescreened by the speaker of the House or her committee (Rules), which means the only amendments that may get a vote are amendments that have the speaker’s approval, do nothing, or have no chance of passing.

Two kids no older than 13 umpiring a 9u game. Parents being nothing but positive. I shouldn’t be in awe but this is more than refreshing. #aboutthekids

So fun playing in the Beer City Open!
