“Hard practice is nothing compared to guidance from the right teacher”

🚨 Landon Donovan didn’t hold back on the state of U.S. soccer: “2002 World Cup is the furthest the men have ever been… we have only won one knockout game in our history. That’s pretty alarming. We’re not developing players like the rest of the world.” “The bigger problem is our youth soccer in this country is a disaster… It’s all about winning. The kids get left behind because the clubs want to make money, the coaches want to make money… and the kids don’t develop.” On the post-16/17 pathway: “If you’re 16, 17 and you haven’t made it, you kind of fall into this abyss.” His bottom line: “I want to give the game back to kids.” @SRUSA_Official

Washington just had its first month with a groundball rate under 40% in six years. The Single-A and High-A affiliates have already matched their HR totals from last year. Across the system, guys are buying into the same message. What I’m hearing: nytimes.com/athletic/7322877…

Everyone is going to laugh at the Michael Block bathroom quote, and that's fair, but he also dropped some great perspective that helps explain why he's able to hold his own against the world's best players: "I have zero to lose. I'm about to be 50. I can see my wife and my kid up on the hill there right now, and my boss, they support me 100 percent. There's zero losing this week. "They don't expect me to play well. They hope I play well, and they know I could play well, but I could get last place, and I'm still going to be loved and have a great job and everything else, and that's perfectly fine with me. "That really gives you a lot of confidence, to be honest. If I didn't have that, it would be really tough to pull the trigger and hit a tough shot on a tight lie from 165, having to cut a 7-iron into a tucked right pin where if you miss it within eight feet, you're going to make a double bogey, which is going to happen a lot out here. "So I don't have that in my head, and I find that what I have in my life, between my family and my job and the golf course I'm at, it allows me a huge advantage. Like, I feel like I've got shots. I feel like I'm coming in here as a 2 handicapper and I get a couple shots on the rest of the field."

“I’ve pretty much done that my whole career.” Brooks Koepka explains why he doesn’t carry a yardage book on the course 😮

ALL SIX WEEKS with an @MiLB POTW 🔥 Yeremy Cabrera takes home @MiLB Carolina League Player of the Week (his second POTW of the season)!

Ken Griffin on the single factor he looks for when hiring at Citadel: "show me an athlete who did well academically." "an athlete because they know what it takes to win and they've had to experience loss." talent is everywhere. what's rare is someone who knows how to lose, recover, and still perform at a high level. same thing separates profitable traders from everyone else.
