@Brian_Kelly19 Most coaches won’t admit that their struggle to embrace the ugly holds them back from unlocking their potential and the potential of their players. Watching a drill/concept NOT work properly leads to it being tossed aside bc “it doesn’t work”. A fear of a growth mindset.
English
@Brian_Kelly19 “Surrender to the truth that cultivating game skill & IQ can’t be done ‘on air.’ “ In my decade plus of coaching, this single sentence defines my evolution as a TEACHER + it is a direct correlation to my confidence (and my players) and comfort with the “ugly” parts of improving.
English
Good question. I don’t know that it can be boiled down into 3 specific skill sets, but here are 3 things I’d do if I were interested in moving in this direction:
1) Surrender to the truth that cultivating game skill & IQ can’t be done ‘on air.’ Embrace variability & make everything in your practice plan opposed — even your warm up. You need to go all in.
2) Start by clearly defining your offensive principles within these main buckets: spacing, triggers, reads, shot selection. Constantly vary constraints that reflect and build on these principles.
3) Master the 2 man game. This serves as both a way to create advantages within your offense, but bigger picture it transcends the action itself and cultivates transferable skill, deception, vision, scanning etc… to all other facets of the game.

@Brian_Kelly19 This is spot on. As an OC/HC in DIII in a “less-traditional” location, the conceptual requires more “feel” for the game and nuance. Many players don’t arrive to campus with that. If you assigned your top 3 developmental skill sets to the conceptual approach, what would they be?

Traditional lacrosse offense: Win the race — dodge hard, draw the slide, beat the defense along relatively defined pathways.
Conceptual lacrosse offense: Remove the race entirely — ball movement, deception, on & off ball actions, reads over patterns, and unique spacing that prevents the defense from functioning normally.

That’s a wrap on college athletics as we’ve know it…

In a groundbreaking endeavor, the University of Utah athletics is entering into what could be a $500M+ equity partnership with Otro Capital featuring the creation and shared ownership of a for-profit entity to operate athletics, sources tell @YahooSports. bit.ly/44hUcZJ

@BYUCougars + @NDFootball should play each other in their own bowl game and partner with @netflix or @PrimeVideo to stream it live and play it on a day when nobody else is playing.
All 👀s on them.
I’m sure there is a destination venue that would welcome the revenue!

Clark Lea did not blame anyone besides themselves with CFP. Says they had chances at Alabama and Texas “That’s no one’s fault except our own. We had our opportunities and we didn’t do enough. We are not victims in this process. Our ownership is in coming up short…” @chrislee70

Has there ever been a finer moment in lacrosse broadcasting?
Andy Shay embodies the nose to the grindstone, hard work pays off coaching mindset. He must have been holding so much tension for months if not years.
We’re watching a grown man’s brain completely snap - from joy.
This is on ESPN, on Memorial Day. Paused at the right moment it looks like Andy and Carc are middle schoolers about to fight in the cafeteria.
Paul is trying to make a parallel to the 1800s, and Andy’s brain says “I don’t want to talk about the 1800s. I want to swan dive backwards into a mosh pit.”
His attempt to reel back to professionalism with a burst of apologies is equally priceless.

Indiana wears Adidas.
Their coach is pretty good.
Connect the dots.
Mike J. Asti@MikeAsti11
Source at Penn State: I have been told that Adidas drove the James Franklin firing and are why it happened today. They committed to pay most or all of the money. They also wanted a new coach before recent losses, but they made it hard for anyone at PSU to argue.

JJ Redick: “I spent a lot of time after the season with my performance coach and did a lot of self reflection. I think the biggest thing for me is just having the ability to properly turn it on and off. And recognizing not everybody is wired like Kobe. You got to kind of meet guys where they are.” (Reddit u/shreeharis)

To every coach out there with young kids that are asleep before you get home or asleep when you leave in the morning…it’s really hard. Doing what you love while giving up time with who you love.
You’re fighting a battle few understand and even fewer even notice. I see you. 👍

Arrogantly acting like your team is winning, and carrying on like fools spewing nonsense while all of the facts and data show you’re actually getting your ass kicked seems, so unfortunately, very appropriate. 🤦♂️

The algorithms (and bots) are winning.
The divide grows.
The foundation cracks.
The chaos spreads.
A handful of people.
People, and themes, aimed to anger.
Their “credibility” solely comes from their number of followers.
Think critically, not emotionally, and you’ll see.
