WHIFFLE BALL BAT THROWS— GREAT DRILL FOR YOUNG PLAYERS…... when working with young players at Hitters U we like to use drills with external focuses to get the players to understand & feel the proper way of moving without explaining it to them. These drills naturally get you to the place you need to be or you won’t be able to throw the whiffle bat through the middle. Fly open it will go in foul territory, have a big upper cut the bat will hit the ceiling. Hitters Universityshow more

Hexagons and Octagons Those who follow football and coaching... will be well aware that there are trends that emerge and become the great break through in coaching, only to vanish quite quickly. A few stick around and become a staple. Such as the rondo, or the 4v4+4 Guardiola rondo variation. One that did not stick around in the coaching collective consciousness that possible should have was Thomas Tuchel’s use of hexagonal and octagonal playing areas in training sessions. Tuchel explained that cutting off the corners and angling the pitch forced “sharp diagonal” passes that would help break the press. The positioning of players outside the hexagon/octagon or players close to the edges will be manipulated into an open body shape by the angles of the pitch. Players are impacted by environmental constraints and embodied cognition, where the geography of the playing area influences their actions. This influence spreads to the creation of triangles and diamonds within the playing area due to the “funnel” like nature of the playing area. We can use the cut outside angles by placing bounce or target players on the exterior, influencing the movement and organisation internally. The inside players will not have to move wide as those areas are occupied. The internal players will seek to create passing angles using the positioning of the outside players and their internal team mates. The diamonds and triangles will appear. If we leave the spaces on the outside empty players can move to fill the spaces. These act as free spaces to receive from the goalkeeper or open spaces for attackers to overlap into, encouraging attacking combination play and crosses. A different way of using the space is to remove goals and goalkeepers from the ends and place bounce/target players on the outside. Players now can combine with the outside players, when they do so they are then free to finish into the outside goals. The condition can be extended to combining with the target player in the opposite side of the pitch before scoring, adding an element of switching play. The hexagon and octagon are versatile spaces that help to replicate aspects of the game. By funneling the spaces we impact players body shape, ability to play forward quickly, team shape (or small group shapes), players cutting in, defending centrally, the types of combination used and the angles of line breaking pass (diagonals). The angles are hugely significant for teams that value combinations and possession football, Straight passes and receiving angles are much easier to intercept and carry high risks for being counter attacked. Short diagonals can bypass players and attacking shapes, creating angled connections. If an angles pass is given away there is still a risk of being counter attacked but there is more chance of having players around the ball to regain possession. To counter press. The question that emerges is should we then be using hexagons and octagons more? If they are of greater benefit than squares and rectangles, why use them? Should all pitches, including those of a small sided nature be hexagonal? Can the rondo square be replaced by the rondo octagon?show more

This is what I’m talking about. This isn’t to... highlight Bentancur. It’s how 90% of teams and players behave for I’d say 70% of the game. But what are we trying to achieve here? The best thing that can happen from any phase of play, is to score a goal. So that’s the overall objective. To do that, the ball at some stage has to go behind every single opposition player and space has to be exploited whether it’s big or small. But Bentancur here is waiting. Waiting for players to move. Waiting for opposition to move. But why would Newcastle move? They don’t need to break from their shape. But imagine what would happen if Bentancur travelled with the ball into those open spaces. Newcastle and spurs players aren’t just going to watch, it’s going to instigate a chain reaction of movement from both sides. And that will in turn break up shapes which creates gaps. Then it’s if you are confident and able to exploit. But just waiting doesn’t achieve it. Imagine the disruption you will cause if both the ball player, and off ball players look to provoke the opposition as opposed to rigidly stand in shape. It’s just logical. If you stay still. Why does the opposition need to move? So what pictures are changing? What gaps are you opening? What gaps are you exploiting? So how do you expect to score when to score a goal, gaps have to be exploited? It’s why when people say “it’s harder in modern football, there’s less space”. No there isn’t. There’s always space. You’re just seeing players less willing to provoke it and attack it.show more

At MIT, I learned about RNNs in my NLP... class with Prof. Michael Collins. He built a model from my keystrokes to predict who I was. To me, it felt like a magic box. Years later, when I had to teach RNNs, I forced myself to go inside the box. ⬇️ Download: First, with a tiny example on paper by hand ✍️. Then, a slightly larger one in Excel. That’s when it finally clicked: 👉 The weights are reused (weight matrices on the left side) 👉 The hidden states are passed down (H's) When I built it by hand and saw everything visually, it clicked, just math you can actually trace.

WATCH | Chaos at Rufaro Stadium in Chicken Inn... vs. Scotland FC Match There was chaos at Rufaro Stadium during a match between Chicken Inn and Scotland FC. The trouble started in the 90th minute when Scotland FC was given a penalty. A Chicken Inn player had reportedly handled the ball in the penalty box while trying to block a shot at goal. The score was still 0-0, and the penalty decision made Chicken Inn players very angry. They protested strongly. Chicken Inn’s head coach Joey Antipas, along with his technical team and the players on the bench, left the pitch. Only the players who were already on the field stayed. Things got worse when some Chicken Inn fans from the city end started throwing objects onto the field to stop the penalty from being taken. Police had to chase the fans to calm the situation.show more

The problem with defensive awareness is that most players... watch basketball like this... They only follow the ball. They watch it like a fan and not to get better. Which is unfortunately what highlights, mixtapes, and short clips ingrain the habit to be. Then when they step on the floor, no wonder they can't see the ball and their man, let alone everything else - they've only focused on one thing at a time. The first step to changing defensive awareness, is changing how players consume the game. Awareness is a habit. And habits can be developed. Full breakdown out now:show more

What’s your attitude when you get a windy day... on the course? One of the best things about playing links golf is you get used to the wind. You go from fearing it to craving it. (When the course is made for wind.) We had a super windy day at Kennemer in Holland. Had 180 yards straight into the breeze on 9, went with a dead hand 7 wood and struck gold. A great shot is always satisfying. But the more variables you take on, the more satisfying it is. Learning to treat wind as an opportunity to really play golf completely changes your enjoyment level.show more

being inside rift herald is like being inside a... woman first you have to channel your energy. can't just rush it. takes time to get in you wait for the right moment. timing matters you find the opening. position yourself correctly you go in. commit fully. no hesitation then you charge full speed. straight at the tower. nothing else matters. just you and the target little grubs come flying out. defenses gone. the enemy watching helplessly as you take everything the whole thing lasts like 12 seconds but the damage is done and if you mess up the timing? if you go in wrong? if you miss the window? you're just standing there. awkward. accomplishing nothing. apologizing. but here's the best part if you do it right. if you break down their defense. you get to go back inside again that's right. one good performance and you get another chance. round two most players one and done it. blow herald on a random tower and walk away but the smart players? they know if you take the first tower you can channel again. get back inside. do it all over that's how you get maximum value Study the Saskio wayshow more

So they want to bring it to your home. They want you to feel these war zones, but in America, because they don't feel like Americans felt it. They feel like, ‘yeah, you have these wars with us on our soil. So now you're going to get it on your soil.” 🟥5 to 7 man teams and 8 to 10 man teams “5 to 7 man teams and 8 to 10 man teams. Our community has never even had attacks where there's more than five - So it's going to be a whole different scenario we need to deal with.” 🟥Supermarkets, shopping complexes, nightclubs, churches & public transportation 🟥Hospitals - Sidelining first responders as the goal. “They actually also trained on hospitals and we look at hospitals in terms of sidelining first responders as the goal.” 🟥Road Blocks To Ambush First Responders “In Israel, they basically set up on the roads and waited for first responders to come and attack them while responding” 🟥Back Up Teams “Another really interesting thing when we brings up the ISIS Russia attack - They trained multiple teams for that attack. And the first team essentially got thwarted or wrapped up so the Russians thought they stopped the plot and the back up guys came in and did that attack , which is very smart and we're not used to those kind of tactics. 🟥Trained In The 360-degree Ballistic Shoot Houses “The facilities that they're using to train in are the facilities that we left behind. So the state-of-the-art ranges that we used when we were deployed, they're using. The 360-degree ballistic shoot houses that we used to perfect CQB and explosive entry, they're training in. 🟥 Trained Heavily In Close Quarters Battle “All indications are that they have trained heavily in close quarters battle and local distributed attack.” 🟥 Training Like Terrorists Had in Fallujah. “One of the things we're focusing on and telling people right now is a lot of the terrorists who are coming to the US homeland have training like the terrorists had in Fallujah. And you need to go sit down with people who served in Fallujah because you've never seen those kinds of terrorists here in the United States. And law enforcement actually needs to learn how to fight now that type of enemy and they're very far behind because we weren't honest about what our troops faced there the type of attackers that occurred and came at them there.” 🟥 Spontaneous Decisions Making “The interesting thing about it is they can change the location they are attacking and they can change the modus operandi they are using. So for example, in Mumbai - when they went in the train station, it was supposed to be a bombing. When they got in there, they said, ‘wow, we can kill more people just shooting them than putting the bomb together’. 🟥 Real Time Communication Between Attackers “Real time information was being passed to the attackers during the Mumbai. So when they were in the Taj Mahal, they were being told what the police were doing, and they changed basically some of their movements in the hotel to make the attack last longer.” 🟥Fights To The Death "it's not like in Israel, you'll go and do an attack, you can kidnap someone and leave and go back into Gaza. When they come to the United States, they're here to do the attack and they're here to die. There's no exit plan. So now we need to talk to law enforcement about how to fight someone who wants to fight to the death" 🟥 Tip Of the Spear Attacks “You're actually looking at operators that have more advanced training than Hamas. What you will be facing is a much more refined combatant, much more committed combatant, for multiple reasons. The combatants that are going to Europe and the United States, they're the cream of the crop. They're the tip of the spear” 🟥First responders move in and then another guy walks in and blows up “The bomber blew up and then everyone starts moving in, the first responders and then another guy walks in and blows up.” 🟥Dressing Up Like LEO & First Responders “They are dressing like IDF soldiers and law enforcement and, police and ambulance operators. As I'm driving, and I see a checkpoint, So I get my weapon and I'm ready for a gunfight. Yeah, that needs to be in your head - this could be a trick, you need to be ready for a gunfight.” 🟥Booby Traps There were booby traps that they setup teddy bears and backpacks with traps.” 🟥Attackers On Drugs “We saw this in the Hamas attacks, a lot of the attackers were on drugged while they were attacking. So it's like they're almost taking this other angle of, we could alter the mind in some way and make them even more extreme and make them do something they might not have done.” 🟥10% Suicide Bombers “I do believe 10% is going to be suicide bombers, and I feel strongly about that . So I think suicide bombers are between 75 and 100. I think that number is pretty accurate.” 🟥Chemicals Within Suicide Vests "Another thing is within the suicide vest, there are reportedly chemicals. A lot of our agencies aren't even prepared to deal with the right hazmat situations when they respond to this. So they need to be prepared if they think maybe a suicide vest blew up.” Information Provided By: Dave 'Boon' Benton, @RooftopLeader & Doron Keidarshow more
