Honest question, why is this necessary? Are BP throwers hiding their release points?

Anthony, thanks for the questions. Why is this necessary, for simplicity sake, it offers coaches an opportunity to train hitters from a neurological perspective. Engaging the brain spatially requires an implicit form of stimulation. Words fail to excite spatial neurons inside the brain. This is the first of its kind because no verbal input is required by the coach. When this training is done correctly, the brain will hunt more pitches inside the strike zone. #2 no. But by bringing the brain to a heightened state of visual awareness, it recognizes strikes sooner and more consistently.

JUST IN 🇮🇷🇺🇸: Analysis Suggests A U.S. Strike Likely Hit Iranian Elementary School JUSTICE FOR THE CHILDREN! A NYT investigation using satellite imagery, verified videos, and geolocated footage suggests the Feb. 28 strike that destroyed the Shajarah Tayyebeh elementary school in Minab occurred during a U.S. attack on a nearby IRGC naval base near the Strait of Hormuz. 🛰️ Satellite imagery shows multiple precision strikes hit at least six IRGC naval buildings at the base at the same time the school was destroyed. 📚 Iranian officials say at least 175 people were killed, mostly children. The White House says it has not confirmed responsibility and the Department of War says the strike is under investigation. Evidence suggests the school had once been part of the IRGC naval base but was separated from the compound in 2016, raising the possibility of outdated targeting data.

Evidence suggests the Feb. 28 strike that destroyed an elementary school in Minab, Iran, killing at least 175 people (many children), likely occurred during U.S. attacks on a nearby Iranian Revolutionary Guards naval base. Satellite images, videos, and social media posts indicate the school was hit at the same time as strikes on several base buildings. U.S. forces were operating in the area near the Strait of Hormuz that day, though officials have not confirmed responsibility and say the incident is under investigation. Source: NYT

“Not My Missile” Trump yesterday tried to deflect responsibility for the strike on a school in Minab, claiming Iran could possess Tomahawk missiles because the U.S. sells them to many countries. The claim makes little sense. Iran has never possessed genuine U.S. Tomahawk cruise missiles. However, fragments from a Tomahawk cruise missile were recovered at the site of the strike on a girls’ school in Minab, Iran. Images released by Iranian authorities show components with serial numbers linked to U.S. defense contractors Ball Aerospace Technologies and Globe Motors. Analysts say the debris belongs to a U.S.-made missile produced after 2014. Similar fragments have previously been found after missile strikes in Syria and Yemen.

This umpire was calling a game. The kid at bat had two strikes on him. The pitcher threw a curve ball that looked like it was going to hit the batter but it broke and curved down over the plate for strike three- the ump rang him up. The kid immediately tapped his helmet like the pros do for an instant replay challenge. The umpire thought it was extremely disrespectful. He told the coach that he wasn’t going to tolerate any other kids doing that. He said he’s going to talk to the coaches before the games now because it’s an avenue for kids to argue balls and strikes without voicing they are arguing balls and strikes. Many people said the umpire was soft. Many said it’s a kids game, let them play and stop whining and man up. But some said if you give the kid an inch in showing disrespect then it can open the food gates and that he shouldn’t tolerate it and they agreed with him. Me personally? Im old school. You aren’t going to show me up whether you are the coach or the player. I’d do the same and give a warning to the coach and anyone else doing that afterwards is gone. What do you think? Do you think the umpire is overreacting like some people said or do you think he’s right in feeling it’s disrespectful?

Today the 65th SEC Tournament tips off at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn., and while Alabama Men’s Basketball is second in the conference with eight tournament championships, a former Crimson Tide head coach considers a game that didn’t result in a title as the greatest in tournament history. Wimp Sanderson, who won five SEC Tournaments and played in the championship game nine of 12 years, still considers the 90-89 semifinal victory over Arkansas on March 14, 1992, at the Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Center as the greatest tournament game he’s ever seen. Elliot Washington, who Sanderson signed after watching him play half-court only, hit a three-pointer as time dwindled down to 1.5 seconds to give the Crimson Tide its one-point victory. Washington only scored six points against the Razorbacks, but the last three were the biggest of the game. “A knock-down, drag-out game with athletes like you’ve never seen,” Sanderson said. “(Latrell) Sprewell hits a shot to cut it two and we go back down the floor and we knew the right guy to foul. He missed the shot and we called timeout. “When we broke the huddle, the ball ends up in (James) Hollywood Robinson’s hands. Hollywood wouldn’t throw it to his mother if she was open. He ended up with the ball around the top of the circle and took it on the dribble drive to the goal. Arkansas was going after the ball and he kicked it in the corner to Elliot. When he shot it, I’m running down the bench saying I believe the cotton-picking ball is going in.” In the 1991-92 academic year, expansion actually started with basketball as newcomers Arkansas and South Carolina joined the SEC. With the addition of the Razorbacks, a Final Four team in 1990, a new hardwood rivalry started between Alabama and Arkansas. During the regular season, the teams held serve on their home courts, Alabama winning 65-63 in Tuscaloosa and Arkansas 90-87 in Fayetteville. When the semifinals of the SEC Tournament created the pivotal third meeting, fans on that afternoon were treated to one of the most thrilling games in tournament history. However, the emotionally and physically drained Crimson Tide had little energy left in the championship game as it lost to Kentucky the next day. “We were dead tired,” Sanderson admitted. “It wore us out.”

All right, I'm going to be honest." “I think we was playing Washington. He had a few drops. I looked at TB (RB Tahj Brooks). I said, TB, bro, I don't know.' I said, ‘I don't know about this, dude.' TB we in trouble." 😂 "TB looked at him was like. I think you dropped the ball again, bro, you dropped it. I said, 'Man, throw me a strike!' I went to the coach like, 'Throw me a strike, man!' Like, 'What's going on?!'" "And then after that, next thing you know you catching everything. But that was funny, bro. I didn't know, bro. I was a little iffy." 😭 Overtime #ChasingNo1 ft.

Been thinking a lot about this… if this progression was adopted across all recreational baseball we’d be creating more baseball lovers. Ages 4 and under: no baseball game play. Only practice/fun stuff if anything at all. I believe we are pushing kids away from the game exposing them too early. Ages 5-7: Tee ball. Asking kids to hit a moving baseball at this time isn’t necessary. Let’s solve for action and reps. ELIMINATE RECREATIONAL COACH PITCH! Coach pitch can only be executed properly with professional coaches who throw consistent strikes understand how to deliver reps. IT DOES NOT WORK AT SCALE WITH REC. I’ve seen enough to feel strongly about this. Ages 8-9: Machine Pitch. If someone would invent a pitching machine with an arm that was mobile they’d make a lot of money. I know about the slingshot and I think it’s a good start but not quite it. Ages 10-12: Kid pitch. No earlier. Practice pitching/throwing in practice starting at age 8. Just finishing up my third year as a head coach within Little League but I’m also coming off of 16 years of running a massive youth baseball organization in Northern California so I have seen enough to confidently make these conclusions.

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.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 The Pentagon used an untested missile in combat and it hit a girls' volleyball practice in Iran... The New York Times confirmed that a Precision Strike Missile, a weapon that only finished prototype testing last year, struck a sports hall and elementary school in Lamerd on the first day of the war. At least 21 people were killed, including two schoolgirls, ages 10 and 11, and their volleyball coach. The PrSM is designed to detonate mid-air and blast tungsten pellets outward. Aftermath photos show the playground peppered with fragmentation holes. The IRGC compound next door has been walled off from the school for at least 15 years. CENTCOM's response: "We're aware of the reports and are looking into them." This was the same day a Tomahawk hit a school in Minab killing 175 people. Two schools on day one. One struck by a cruise missile. The other by a weapon so new the military was publicly celebrating its "combat debut" days later. Whether it was a targeting failure, a design flaw, or deliberate, the result is the same. Children died during volleyball practice from a weapon America had never fired in anger before...

On the 6th day of recruiting myths: Myth #6: “Colleges don’t recruit from high school programs.” It’s true. I’ve never seen a D1 coach at a high school game. Maybe 1-2 make it out to the big well known pre-season tournaments, but in most states, HS ball is in the middle of their own season. So this myth is mostly true if you’re in the D1 or bust mentality. Almost all of us start with that goal, but there are a million things that have to go just right to make that happen. There are plenty of players with enough talent to play D1 that don’t start there. I know this because I played with some amazing ones. They ended up going the JUCO route for one reason or another, killed it as All-Americans, and are now playing at a higher level. I had local JUCO coaches at our HS games all the time. I actually saw them more often in high school than I did at the club tournaments I played in. Even if you think you’re destined for D1, it’s important not to discount it. What happens if you’re injured your sophomore or junior year, or you developed a little too late for D1 programs who have filled their class? What happens if your freshman grades sunk your GPA? What if the programs that offer you don’t have enough athletic aid to make the finances work for your family? To say all recruiting happens in club is more like saying I’m only interested in one path to my goal. And… if you kill it in high school season and get some recognition it can be enough to catch the attention of D1 programs. I had a good friend that nailed it her junior year. She had not received any offers going into May, but her HS season was incredible. She made zero errors all season! Her bat was 🔥 and she ended up getting selected as the Conference Offensive Player of the Year across the state of Arizona. She posted the award on X and immediately she had a D1 coach follow her. That coach eventually came to watch her play in club and have her out for a visit. The award didn’t get her an offer and neither did the high school play directly, but it built enough credibility to get some interest. And for people outside the “recruiting bubble”, these seemingly little things can be the tipping point. She’s a freshman this year playing D1 softball. So… if you’re thinking High School sports don’t provide recruiting opportunities, you’re thinking too narrowly. The opportunity looks different, but it’s still an opportunity to increase your odds of playing at the next level. #RecruitingRules Rule #2: Build your brand. Create your own luck - High school sports provided one of the best opportunities I had to build my brand. Local media coverage. State tournaments and awards. Those are things that don’t happen often in club. The coaches might not be at the field to watch during their own season, but that doesn’t mean you can’t keep building your brand to improve your opportunities later!
