🏀❤️ I created a new IG for my training business. I’ll post the name in the comment section. The content on there is going to be very informative. But first watch this 👇🏽 😍

I'm excited to announce my commitment to @LionUpWBB. On my way to the 🥾 @SAFinestbball @_3Generations @bbetterperform @slkgbb

@mws Feedback when it’s from a place of fandom and wanting to help is worth its weight in gold. Always searching it out.

A small YouTuber made a video titled ‘MrBeast is Boring Now’ In 2 days of the video being up, MrBeast wrote this comment The biggest YouTuber in the world, and he’s down to brainstorm with a YouTuber who just hit 1K Plus they already hopped on calls together Love to see it

On the debate if Olympics were an open market what are the probabilities that U.S. would earn more medals I asked one of my ai tools from statistical perspective: Changing Olympic entry limits from top 3 to top 8 per country would substantially increase U.S. medal totals, especially silver and bronze, and would likely make the medal table less balanced across nations. The current 3-entry rule suppresses the observable advantage of countries with extraordinary depth. Expanding entries would reveal more of that hidden depth and disproportionately benefit the United States. In plain English: The current rules hold the U.S. back more than they hold most countries back. Biggest winners would be •United States •China •maybe Australia •maybe Great Britain Countries that are elite because of efficiency or specialization, but do not have huge depth, would benefit less. Example logic: •Norway might still be great in its best sports •Jamaica would still be dangerous in sprints •Kenya in distance, but they often would not add as many extra medal-level athletes across many events as the U.S. would

Agree with this. But also the U.S. National Trials is the hardest in the world. Nowhere compared to Norway, that can be looked at. On any given day an athlete can get upset and steal spots. And I don’t think it would be any different if there was an unlimited amount of spots and just based on time qualification. You would see more heavy U.S. finals in many events.

But it also backfires. Norway would have even more medals if they were allowed to send 50 people. Same with Kenya. But even there it’s limited because there are only 3 medals per event. So it’s not so much the athlete cap influences per capita. Its more that at a small n, a few medals has an oversized effect.

The key to Norway's sporting success?
 "It takes everything we do in the US and does the opposite. We treat child athletes like budding professionals, prodigies train like the pros they look up to. In Norway, they let kids be kids. We don't keep score before age 12."

I definitely think per capita should be used as something to look and identify what makes them different, especially if the are excelling in a particular event. But it’s hard to say that a country produces more elite athletes than the U.S. No different than Jamaica in sprinting and Kenya in distance. Because of a multitude of reasons they excel. But doesn’t mean they have the key to success from an overall point of view

@DelCurrent @COSDAWGCFB Per capita isn’t perfect. It’s just a rough way to look at things.

@stevemagness @COSDAWGCFB Just spends on strength of events. There are so many events not including just running. And the per capita take works when smaller countries are good at a specific event.

@DelCurrent @COSDAWGCFB But when you’re only counting 3 medalists this is largely negated. It’s negligible. Even if the US could bring 100 sprinters there medal count isn’t changing much. And would suffer if Kenya was allowed the same for example.

I never understood why coaches emphasized diving on loose balls but will allow a player to take bad shots. Turnovers are turnovers. Also I don’t think coaches should waste a time out on early possession tie ups when they can use the timeout in a more meaningful way later.

Example: let’s say the Olympics decided that they are going to add a 60m dash, a 300m dash, more swimming events etc and the USA is allowed to bring 6 athletes instead of 3.. Their medal count per capita would increase. I know not everybody took statistics but there are limited factors.

@COSDAWGCFB @stevemagness Yes BUT it’s misleading because the Olympics are a capped system, not an open market. There are a finite amount of events and you can only bring your top 3 athletes. When a country has a niche event(s) and they are smaller the per capita will always be unequally distributed.

@DelCurrent @stevemagness Per capita their medal count is outstanding, 4x the US. statista.com/statistics/110…

@DelawareTrackXC Some husbands cheat on their wives. Should all husbands be labeled as cheaters… ?

@DelCurrent all hs kids, from Quincy in Maryland to athletes in Florida, California and Texas should all be tested if they are going to ratify records. Just look at MountVerde. Actin' like that doesn't happen other places is naive at best

Texas is the Mecca for Track. Our state meets are like college meets. It’s different here. Doesn’t mean people are doping. Our kids are running hills, pulling sleds, competing at a young age etc.

One of my fav runners, Peter Bol

@TexasTrackDad @DelawareTrackXC 😂😂 got elite athletes walking around everywhere competing down here

@DelCurrent @DelawareTrackXC All this crazy talk from people who never been to Texas to experience a meet 🤣🤣🤣🤣. They are just like Texas too fast those kids are doping 😂😂😂.

unless they were tested before, during, after...not buying it

@1frm_sanantonio Bingo. We played pick up every day and only one kid went D1 in my group. And guess what, he was 6’8 and trained often by his dad.

excellent point I always tell people it's about context about proof and context it's the same thing with the just play more pickup cool show me a kid who isn't excessively talented athletically and physically who didn't train at all just played pick up and got real results

True story. My homeboy wanted his son to have hops. So he started having him jump tires daily like Ja Morant and then doing other stuff to get his legs strong he went from wanting to have hops to being the #1 high jumper in the state and he doesn’t even do track like that lol

Somebody will say make 500 shots a day and your shot will improve.. Then you will have an “expert” say it’s not about volume it’s about XYZ. Okay.. SHOW ME the athletes you have produced from the ground up. lol. I’m tired of it 😂

I just feel people try to find ways from having to do the hard work. And then people minimize when people do the hard work behind the scenes and try to justify somebody’s success by some flawed reasoning. Especially now with social media and so many “experts”… People have no clue.

To a critic, no explanation will ever be enough. To a supporter, no explanation will ever be needed.

Why Texas is different. Two little girls pulling sandbags while they were 7/8yrs old. Fast forward and they are in middle school now.. One is a National Champion 800m runner and the other has been focusing on hoops the last year or so after being a 5x all American in track.
