My head football coach and I are interested in moving towards a sprint based/feed the cats practice plan. Is anyone able to put me in contact with programs who have adopted this approach and would be willing tell me more? Would appreciate any resources! Thank you!!! @pntrack

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

@T_Bethards315 @Doug_Boyer52 Let’s go and play 5 games in 5 days and freeze to death and get tired and pissed off. Awesome idea.

@wtchdoctor @Doug_Boyer52 So damn cold

I *think* this is at Troy HS north of St Louis. If it is, that soccer goal sits about 60’-80’ behind CF fence which is approx 380’ In 2006 playing 2B I watched our P serve up a dinger that landed beyond that soccer goal. Furthest ball I’ve ever seen hit. BESR bats were awesome

Excited to be a part of this ambitious program at Augusta Christian (GA). AC will be the first school to install “Feed the Cats” as the foundation of K-12 PE. In addition, FTC will be embraced in all sports. AC wants to become the model for other schools. The April 17th event will be open (and free) to anyone wishing to attend.

@Doug_Boyer52 @T_Bethards315 While that may be true, I do remember that. Bethards will tell ya, two things about that tournament each year, cold and nukes

@wtchdoctor @T_Bethards315 U don’t remember what you had for breakfast

THE GOAL HEARD AROUND THE WORLD 🥇🥇 #WINTEROLYMPICS

A holiday moment unlike any other. 46 years ago tonight, December 23, 1979, the Boston Bruins stormed into the stands at Madison Square Garden, and defenseman Mike Milbury famously removed a fan’s shoe and used it as an improvised weapon. #ShoeBrawlDay

The dots: • Rockets → Transport to Mars • Boring Company → Underground habitats • Tesla → Rovers + Optimus on Mars • Solar/Batteries → Power for the colony • Starlink → Comms network Seems pretty logical… @elonmusk anything I’m missing? 👀🔴

@pathtothesummit Congrats! Will definitely be getting a copy

Brian Kula: “The Bounce Fire Series”

Tipton celebrates after winning the Class 1 Show-Me Bowl! 📺: MSHSAA.TV

FINAL: @TiptonFtball (13-1) 39, Putnam County (13-1) 14. For the first time in program history, the Tipton Cardinals are state champions in football. The Cardinals outscored Putnam 20-0 in the second half.

Awesome book! Hate that it is about to end. What’s the next one @andrewrsorkin???

@TrevHahn3 @actionjaxon05 @tjrackers Congrats!

Incredibly honored to receive my first Missouri Press Association award. Very happy for @actionjaxon05 taking home two more awards, too, and @tjrackers conveniently left out his columnist award. Not to gloat, but our sports staff rocks.

Happy 101st birthday to the legend, Pete Adkins! Coach is here at the JC homecoming game. In 37 years, Adkins never lost a homecoming game at Jeff City. So combined we’re 37-0. ⁦@JayPrideFB⁩

The Legend recently turned 101. If you need to know what Homecoming is about let the Man educate you.

@Jim_Genac Love your posts, excited for the next book!

Montréal Star journalist, John Robertson, came under heavy criticism for his prediction that Russia would win the #1972SummitSeries. His assessment was based on the fact that he had closely followed the Soviets at the World Amateur Championships during the 1960s and the fact he went to Russia in April 1969 to see their hockey system firsthand. “After nine days in Russia, watching kids of all ages play hockey, interviewing people who run their hockey programs and gathering some cold, hard statistics, on how the sport is booming, I came to the conclusion that the Russians are… stealing our player development system in every detail and utilizIng it to their own selfish ends.” “[I had] a chance to watch the Moscow 14-15 year old champions, Central Army, go through a spirited scrimmage and off-the-ice conditioning drill. The kids were no more regimented than Canadians of the same age, but they did some fascinating off-the-ice training which included somersaults, a bruising form of tackle basketball, old-fashioned piggy back races and an agility exercise which could best be described as four-cornered dodge-ball.” “Whether this makes them better hockey players is dubious, but it is indicative of a rule of thumb in Russian athletics, which pays them dividends in general conditioning. All of their athletes, from the 13-year-old right up to the National team, are encouraged, to put it mildly, to sports 12 months a year.” Robertson dismissed the myth that the Russians virtually enslave their players and practise them eight hours a day 12 months a year; that they have developed some conditioning secret which gives them an unfair advantage. The reality, he said, is that they spend time & effort developing those skills and conditioning from a young age. The narrative of “the Russian hockey player as a mindless robot - scientifically tuned to the optimum of physical potential and programmed to execute the fundamentals of skating, passing and shooting with monotonous precision” were not valid. “The Russians have succeeded in infecting many Canadians with an inferiority complex about the game we invented and still play better than any country in the world. And with a string of seven consecutive world championships going for them, there is a growing feeling outside North America that our National Hockey League is just a mythical excuse Canada uses for getting humiliated annually in world competition by the Russians.” “We know better, of course, but as we wring our hands impatiently waiting for the day the issue between Russia and the NHL is resolved on ice instead of in smoke filled hotel rooms, we can't resist sniping at the system Russia uses to produce players of infinitely better calibre than our best amateurs.” Three years later, when the day had finally come for the NHL to play the Soviets and defend Canadian honour, he had his doubts. In the days leading up to the series, he would expand on the reasons. More on that to come…
