Proud to announce my internship offer at Albuquerque firm Hamlin, Hamlin & McGill. I only hope that I can live up the example of menswear icon Howard Hamlin. Thanks, @PatrickFabian, you made my day! #BetterCallSaul

@Wendi_Irlbeck This would be like saying "parenting HS kids is easy..." Would likely only be said by those with limited experience.

"Coaching HS athletes is easy" -comment on one of my posts... At its core, working with student-athletes is challenging because you’re not just developing performance you’re shaping people. And that’s true whether you’re a coach or a sports dietitian. Most people only see the surface. They don’t see everything happening behind the scenes. You’re balancing sport + life. Student-athletes are juggling school, social life, sleep, and sometimes jobs. Add in parents’ schedules, late nights, early mornings, and weekends and consistency becomes one of the hardest things to establish. Maturity varies wildly ! A 14–22-year-old may look like an adult physically, but emotionally they’re still developing. Motivation, discipline, and accountability can be inconsistent and that’s normal. You wear multiple hats . You’re not just coaching or giving nutrition advice. You’re a mentor, motivator, and sometimes a counselor helping navigate confidence issues, burnout, pressure from parents, and identity tied to performance. Communication is everything! What motivates one athlete may shut another down. You’re constantly adjusting how you deliver feedback, education, and expectations so it actually sticks. Results vs. development tension. People expect everything from you. There’s pressure to perform now but the real goal is long-term development: building skills, habits, resilience, and consistency. And then there’s the real challenge … Athletes say they want better performance, more energy, and faster recovery but their habits don’t always align. Skipped meals, poor sleep, inconsistent routines. You’re not just giving a plan you’re trying to help them live it in a lifestyle that isn’t always set up for success. There’s a lot you can’t control. But the impact comes from what you can: Building habits. Teaching accountability. Keeping it simple and realistic. Meeting student athletes where they are and being transparent about expectations, timeline, and goals. Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about creating better athletes. It’s about developing better people who will go on to be wives, husbands, dads, moms and future CEOs etc. People first. Athlete second. But it's far from easy. Anyone who says it's easy to coach student athletes has never truly coached

I very much agree with this. Love religious freedom? Then hate and fight antisemitism.

@CoachLisle I don't know how things are under the new HC, but TN had a culture of swagger and celebration under Coach Vitello. I imagine they want guys who would do this, and the mistake (if any) was to misjudge his contact. Not saying this is good or bad, just seems to be their approach.

My thoughts: • In 2026, thanks to the brutal nature of social media, this young man is already being thoroughly humbled by millions of strangers online. The internet is punishing him enough. He doesn’t need his head coach to pile on and publicly embarrass him further. • As coaches, our job is to build the person, not just the player. A lapse in judgment fueled by raw, competitive emotion doesn't make him a bad kid. True team culture means holding players accountable, but separating the behavior from the athlete. Love the kid, correct the action. • This is the ultimate teachable moment. You don't scream at him; you pull him aside, put an arm around him, and have a real conversation. You talk about respecting the game, emotional control, and handling both triumph and failure with class. It’s a life lesson that will serve him far beyond the diamond.

Fly out to LF. You’re the head coach. How are you dealing with this learning moment?

@Wendi_Irlbeck Also: tastes better!

Why waste money on low-quality “protein drinks” when you can fuel your body with real, nutrient-dense food? That $28.99 for a 15-pack of cans (with sucralose and watered-down protein) could go so much further with whole foods: 🥣 48 oz Greek yogurt $8 🍳 2 dozen eggs $9 🍗 8 lb chicken breasts $25 🥩 4 lb ground beef $35 Real food = better quality protein, more nutrients, and way more value for your money.

Costco's New 'So Good' Sparkling Protein Drink is 🚨 Overpriced and overhyped IMO

@GVogt31 Now that private equity is heavily involved in travel baseball, I'm sure that sane balance will be restored...

Charging other siblings to watch brother play travel baseball tournament (2 days, max 4 games) is absolutely INSANE. $54 for us to watch our kid play on team in tourney, that we paid to be on. Oh, & now a 1.5hr time limit due to rain! Cant wait for this to come crashing down.

All of these sermon clips are exactly what I would expect Talarico to believe.

@coachajkings Shane is one of those athletes of whom I think "that guy could be President of the United States."

Shane Battier shares a must-listen on what it really means to be a champion, how to be a great teammate, and how to make an impact. "The sign says, 'Champions are made when no one is looking.' I sorta laugh at that sign because there is no better sign to sum up my career than that. I lived that literally." Here's why: "My last few years in the NBA, I was first or last, depending on how you look at it - in a stat called time per possession...I was the NBA's version of hot potato." Then he did the math: "I found out that 98% of the time I was on the court, I didn't touch the ball. Only 2% of the time I actually physically touched it." "Most people watch the player with the ball or guarding the ball. So literally, when I say 'champions are made when no one's watching' - no one is watching me for 98% of the time." "But yet I was an integral part of my team. I was an integral piece in my coach's sweat when I didn't play." How did he do it? "I always looked at ways to impact the game. Boxing out. Taking charges. Sexy plays like running back on defense. All of these made up my 98% of time spent away from the ball." 98% invisible, but 100% essential. You don't have to score to make an impact on the game. The best teammates own their role. They are willing to put the team first over individual glory. (🎥 The Nantucket Project)

@MikeCosper Speaking of this situation, I had a very smart Catholic Christian who is on the political center-right say to me this week: people are now more afraid of their "friends" than their enemies.

One of the fascinating elements of the political moment is the "woke policing" of right wing evangelicals. You're out of the camp if you talk about racism. You're out of the camp if you criticize unconstitutional policies. You're out of the camp if you oppose almost anything the administration does. But if you have weird or obscure theological views, if you have ahistorical views of the founding, if you have bizarre ideas about the sacraments or the trinity, if you have views of manhood / womanhood that would have been unrecognizable to the early church, if you have racist or antisemitic views, if you are willing to excuse tribal allies who have demonstrably lacked character in the public sphere — NONE of that matters, so long as you stick with the tribe on whatever the executive order or Truth Social post or talking point of the day is. The reaction to the Piper post, which was literally a scripture verse and a rather mild explanation of it, is a perfect example. And it's one of dozens I can think of. This posture is poison, and it will rot the right from the inside out. Their only saving grace is that the left is just as captive to populism and tribalism as the right, and it's been out-of-touch enough and destructive enough to give the administration oxygen — as we saw the SOTU.

@ChrisCillizza The Bible with Nicky and Pippa Gumbel is a guided reading app with short commentary from a flagship London evangelical Anglican congregation. Habit forming and thought provoking!

I've been writing about my spiritual journey as I try to find my way to faith. Today I shared my plan to dedicate the first 15 minutes of every day to reading the Bible, journaling and maybe praying. The full post is in the next tweet. If you have advice, I'd love to hear it.

@dandarling Also: interpreted the free exercise clause and RFRA in a consistently principled and pro religious freedom way.

@NeilShenvi The room isn't going crazy like that of those weights were fugazis. Legit 315 with clean form which is impressive!

I think people are arguing about whether this is real because they assume strength=bulk. That's not always true.

@megbasham Thank you for sharing this. So many people are praying for you!

Thanks to all of you who have asked about the latest on my cancer treatment. We did get the pathology report back and it wasn’t what we hoped for, but still a lot to be thankful for!

I have two people close to me--one a secular libertarian and one a politically conservative evangelical--who did small events with Rev. Jackson. They both said he was amazing--kind, funny, and charismatic. RIP.

@warriorsworld so yes.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

RIP one of my favourite Actors of all time — the Oscar winning, immensely talented, never less than superb — ROBERT DUVALL He was 95. THE NATURAL (1984)

@JDJohnDickinson The consensus opinion around the league about Kuminga is clearly closer to you than to Papa. You could be wrong but it's not exactly an outlier opinion. Toolsy "high upside" prospects are rarely helped by people around them rejecting a Hall of Fame coach's vision for the player.

Papa & I have argued over this for years but he has overvalued Kuminga's talent/impact. Joe Lacob undermined Kerr's ability to coach JK properly b/c Lacob validated JK's inflated opinion of his own game & Kuminga's belief that fitting in to a role to get on court was beneath him.

@dilanesper Oh, they were amazing relative to their competition no doubt. I'm confident that if they both played in 1982 they'd be first team All NBA. But their advantage relative to their peers was when pro basketball was a niche sport akin to the 1950s NFL or the 1910s MLB

@Tim1AP true! but Wilt and Bill towered over their opponents in athletic advantage too. check out what they each did when they tried high jumping in college...

In their 1962 playoff series (won 4-3 by Boston), Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain put up the following numbers in 3 consecutive games: Game 3: Wilt 35pts/29reb Bill 31pts/31reb Game 4: Wilt 41/34 Bill 31/30 Game 5: Wilt 30/14 Bill 29/26 We will never see this again.

From one Catholic to another: nobody is upset with your for your Catholic faith. You hijacked the Religious Liberty Commission meeting by attacking supporters of Israel - and you coordinated the hit with some of the most noxious anti-semites on the "new right". Catholics can and should support Israel.
