NCAA locking down on the real trouble makers…Division III🤪
If Lane Kiffin keeps pissing them off, they’re gonna put all of Division III on probation!!

RIP to the incredible Skip Bertman
My favorite speech of his:
The importance of “All-In”
End of #Browns practice. One minute end of half situation. Sanders up first and the drive ends with two false starts on the line. Watson next and after two completions, a sack, an illegal formation and a false start. Monken ended practice and looked like he threw something.

Marcus Freeman shares why "leading by example" isn't enough.
"We don't love leaders by example. Because leaders by example are guys that do what they're told to do, they do everything they're asked, right?"
"But they don't say things when their teammates aren't reaching the standard. We can't have that."
Real leadership isn't just performing at the standard. It's protecting the standard.
"We need more leaders. Guys that are willing to hold their teammates accountable because it's gonna make your teammate better."
Accountability isn't about being hard on people. It's about caring enough to not let them settle.
"I wanna make everybody in our organization the best they possibly can be. So if I let you cut corners or I don't say something to you when you're falling under the standard, then I'm not helping push you to the best you can be."
Leading by example is the baseline. Leading with accountability is the standard.

“If I’m mad at a teammate because he’s being selfish, I’m not going to say well it’s my license to be selfish.”
True leadership is about holding the line together, especially when the pressure is on. 💯

I wasn't even aware there were anti-Trackman sentiments in golf considering how widespread it is.
Regardless, good answer and one that is grounded in common sense. Can't get lost in the sauce. But not having any sauce at all is flying blind for the sake of ignorance.
Rory McIlroy was asked ahead of The Open if he agrees with the idea that “Trackman Golfers” don’t do well at Opens:
“No, I wouldn't totally agree with that. I think that TrackMan or any launch monitor, it's a very useful tool. I think you can get too into the numbers, which then can be detrimental. I think, yeah, TrackMan can be very useful. It can be -- I think it can actually help you with the feel of your golf swing at times.
“If you see a certain number on TrackMan, it gives you a feeling of what you need to do, so if you can sort of match up the number you see on the screen with a feel that you have in your golf swing, I actually think you can become more feel-based.
“I use TrackMan a lot in season because I feel like it's hard to work on technical positions when you're just trying to manage your pattern through the course of the season. I use TrackMan where it's like, okay, my path's getting a little to the right, I've just got to feel like I swing more left. Or my face angle is getting a bit left and I've got to feel like I hold it a bit more square through impact, whatever it is.
“To me, I actually feel like it's a great tool to use when your swing gets off a bit and you can sort of train your feels back into where they need to be.”

Arm strength for infielders should be viewed the same way we now view bat speed for hitters.
In the offensive world, bat speed isn’t just about hitting the ball harder—it allows hitters to make better decisions later. More time creates better outcomes.
The same principle applies defensively.
When an infielder has elite arm strength:
They can slow the game down
The margin for error increases
The player doesn’t need to rush
We often train infielders to “speed up,” when in reality we should be developing the tool that allows them to play under control

Tony Vitello on what beating the Dodgers to open up the series means for this team.
"It gives you permission to be confident. Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan... those guys don't need the win column or statistics or permission to be confident. It's an undying thing. That's ideal."

The 95 Indians had a 600 home run guy, two 500 home run guys, a 50 home run in one season (with 50 doubles) guy, a .300 hitting catcher, the third best leadoff hitter of the 90s, a platinum glove-caliber shortstop with 2800 career hits, and Dave Winfield sitting on the bench.

Easy practice doesn't build good hitters. It builds hitters who look good in practice.

"We're not curing cancer here we're talking about hitting a line drive up the middle with a man on second base and two outs"
Jay Johnson says his team needs to be more mentally mature to be successful moving forward.
Clearly a huge emphasis on driving guys in as well.

The best book out there for anyone learning how to coach athletes!
And if you’re looking for more and don’t want to re-read it for a 10th time, I highly recommend Gallwey’s “The Inner Game of Golf” as well 🎯
