A few Padres are out on the field trying to hit a target on the wall 2+ hours after their season ended. One is Joe Musgrove. The other is Fernando Tatis Jr.

Does your kid have a meltdown every time you try to coach them?

Well done Wemby

Goes for team sport coaches too. “100% effort at all times!” Not possible and a horrible strategy.
You can't sprint for very long. Even the best 100m guys in the world decelerate after ~7 seconds. If someone tells you to sprint for minutes...run away. They don't know what they are talking about.

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.” 😳 #TOVO

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. 🙏 #TOVO

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.

How a pro hitting coach made BP more fun. A hint, it wasn’t a drill.

“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.
For those of you unaware of the benefits of RPR ⤵️

Want guys to run slower, but their legs move faster? Use this.
Bears are back in pads for their fourth practice of the week. Today will be the longest session, scheduled for 2 hours, 10 mins.

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.
