@pestctrlguy I can get you 5000 hats.

We’ve been calling around to order 5000 hats and apparently that’s actually kind of hard to do? Everybody keeps telling us that nobody orders 5000 hats.

@THEChrisKessell It becomes an inhibitor to their development when it doesn’t have to be.

@THEChrisKessell Great coaching vision to get them comfortable with bigger kids. The 11-14 age range has so many different size kids as they all grow at different points. Sometimes I see the smaller ones resort to playing for fouls instead of learning to use their size and speed.

A little clip of one of our u12 kids playing in our MS 7v7 league this season. I love the juxtaposition of Trey being half the size of the kids he is up against as he takes a little touch around the defender... out paces another defender and the cool as you like finish.

Sushi recs in Charlotte? 📍🍣

What happens in your head when you add 37+48?

Japanese engineers developed a “Sword Tip Visualization System” for the Fencing World Championships, and it makes fencing look absolutely incredible to watch.

@SungjaeBurner Charlotte National for sure.

Which of these courses should I play on my North Carolina trip? Likely adding two to my list. Already booked Tobacco Road and adding Tot Hill Farm. Southern Pines Pine Needles Duke University Golf Club

@THEChrisKessell I remember a guy complaining that his son’s team from Houston was playing in the finals of a tournament in Orlando against a club team from Houston.

How mad would you be?

@CarrollRogers It’s just there for the taking.

Charlotte FC advances to play Atlanta United in the US Open Cup Round of 16, 6-0 over CLT Independence. Game will be at Matthews Sportsplex April 28 or 29

@CCPISASSH0E I showed up just in time to catch a 38 second race. 😎

Track parents…why didn’t you warn us about how terrible it is?!? I’ve been every kind of sports mom there is, but track is kicking my butt. Nobody knows exactly what time any event starts, so you just show up and sit around for HOURS waiting for your child to compete for less than 10 minutes. I should never have complained about soccer 😩😆

@WorldWideWob Like the time I was running sound at a concert and stepped on the power strip button.

I really hope whoever caused the Technical Difficulties just hit a wrong button in the truck by accident and was like "my bad, give me a minute. i got you."

@wbridgefa @CoachMarcusHill That’s awesome. I want Rush to. He would be the only one. We get a pole vault setup (used) next year. He’s going to try that.

@BDemps @CoachMarcusHill ❤️❤️❤️ Next year Sam is throwing javelin. Why? Because nobody else is.

Baseball Twitter loves saying Daddy Ball but in all seriousness I can’t think of many instances where a coach’s kid isn’t one of the top 3 players on the team. In any sport actually. Basketball coach’s kids are always good also.

@wbridgefa @CoachMarcusHill Had a kid from another school come to a meet a few weeks ago. Had never jumped in a competition. I told him, “Today you will get your first official jump on record.” Normally start at 5’2”. I knew he couldn’t do it. We started at 4’2”. Success. Last week he jumped 4’6”. Progress

@wbridgefa @CoachMarcusHill Yep. It’s why I really like track. Everyone there to help and support one another. When I showed up at a home meet, they asked me to run the jumps. One of the other coaches showed up and I said, “Will you run it with me so I can learn how to do it.” He taught me everything.

@wbridgefa @CoachMarcusHill At the third meet of the season, there were two coaches from two other schools that were running the high jump event. Their sons were the best two jumpers at their schools. All three dads were volunteer coaches because of their sons.

@wbridgefa @CoachMarcusHill Last year we discovered that my son was pretty good at high jump. The track team didn’t have anyone to help him with jumps. So I volunteered. That’s how it goes.

@TimelessTrvlr I’m over at OKI right now. We will head over in a couple days.

Bald Head Island, North Carolina can only be reached by ferry, has no cars, 14 miles of wild beach, sea turtles nesting in summer, and a lighthouse that’s been watching over the Atlantic since 1817.

@big_business_ I’m sorry. I have to.

Deonay Wilder says "I'm sorry... I love you" to Derek Chisora before landing a punch on him 😭😭😭

@katywinters42 One day you are going to need this setup. 🙌

Our new shop is down the street from where I went to school. There’s a track meet going on this afternoon. Dan’s giving a lesson and I’m in the office listening to the track results. It’s a totally new feel for us over a corporate office park situation. Small town community vibes are unmatched.

@THEChrisKessell U13 I would have flipped the approach. Get the focused passing work in the first half. Then be creative with positioning the second half. Our situation is slightly different. New team was added to our division. Their actual skill is probably 2-3 divisions lower.

@BDemps What age group? Why do you feel it was a waste of time?

If you are playing in an event and the opposing coach comes to you pre-game and says "hey, we are a replacement team because a team dropped out last minute. We aren't really ready for this level... we know the scoreline is potentially going to be ugly" 1/2
