Don’t train like a pitcher, train like an Olympic sprinter. When I was with the Phillies throwing in the mid-90s, I thought sprinting was eyewash. I just wanted to get bigger and stronger. But here’s the thing—the key to throwing harder isn’t to get bigger or stronger. It’s to...

When I was in pro ball, even throwing in the mid 90s, I never did this. But I honestly think it’s one of the biggest things that’s going to help me get to 100 miles an hour. One of the most underrated ways to throw harder is to implement cross training. Now, cross training in terms of pitching just means you’ll be using something other than the baseball to throw. For example, you see Yamamoto in the big leagues right now. He attributes a lot of his velocity gains to javelin throwing, and he’s thrown the javelin for many, many years. There’s another pitcher who’s one of the best pitchers in college baseball right now in Japan who’s up to 102 miles an hour and attributes a lot of his success to throwing the volleyball and the volleyball teaching him how to move. For myself, I use a football to clean up my arm action. When you use different implements, it’ll give you a new stimulus. It can clean up a lot of the mechanics that you wouldn’t be able to with the baseball itself. For myself and my training to throw 100 miles an hour, I use all of these implements for my arm action. Now, I have a tendency of forearm flyout where my forearm flies out this way, and so I want to keep it a little bit more directed toward the plate. Some of the best ways to do this is to throw the javelin. Because to throw the javelin far, you can’t be flying out. You need to go straight through. The football as well needs to be straight through. Also, just hitting the volleyball. I love watching volleyball players hit the volleyball because the upper mechanics are so efficient. So if you feel stuck in your training, start incorporating cross training.

.Naval: There was a story that I read about Elon Musk that really affected me, which was when he was talking to Bill Gates, and Bill Gates had just taken out some huge short on Tesla. It was like a billion dollar short or something. And, Elon was like, “Why would you do that? Why would you short Tesla?” And Bill goes, “Well, you know, I talked to my financial advisors and I looked at the math and there’s no way it’s overvalued. And so I’m going to make money on the short.” And Elon goes, “What do you care about making money? I thought you were into electric cars and climate change and saving the world. What are you doing trying to save a few bucks and betting against Tesla?”. And he just walked away in disgust. And I think he never talked to Bill Gates after that. And that’s when I realized, like, Elon’s a purist. He means what he says. The money is a tool for him to get what he’s trying to do. And so I take him at face value, which is the crazy thing, because a lot of people who set these audacious goals to inspire people, you kind of know they don’t really mean it. Elon, I take at face value. So I really do think he intends to get to Mars. I don’t think he’s joking about that. And I think he means to get there within a defined window of time. And I don’t think it’s just like an inspirational, faraway goal. I think he’s very, very concretely going to do whatever it takes. Because Elon doesn’t want to go down in history as the electric car guy or even the guy who saved America guy. He wants to go down as a guy who got humanity to the stars. Again, I’ll give him more credit than that. I don’t even think he wants to go down as the “I got humanity to the stars” guy. He’s just like, “I want to get to the stars, and so I have to make it happen in this lifetime. The only way that I get to experience the science fiction world in my head is if I get to the stars.” And so that’s so inspirational. I think that drives everything. So I think the government was just a thing that got in his way.

Let's talk about training and how hard you need to push yourself at home before you go for any trials. I remember when I knew that I will be traveling for a trial, i stopped going out of my neighbourhood to play football and I just locked in on training for 2month straight. I will do a roadside jogging from my house to the pitch at Ashiribo and I will train for like 2hrs or more and that was my routine every week except Sundays to rest and I did that for 2 months. Victor McDonald assigned me a coach to train and get me ready and he was by far the hardest I have ever trained. Days where I will tie a tyre around my waist to run on the sand, I did a lot of running,strength training, speed work on the sand with tyre. People who see me train have no idea why I was k!lling myself to train that hard. I once trained with Raphael Edereho a guy who I was looking up at that time and I was not able to walk for 2 days after training with him. I trained like my life depends on it. And I stayed away from many things that will slow me down like, bad friends, drinking, sm0king, including girls and I was just locked in on my purpose to make it happen and it paid off. After 3 months that I left Nigeria the news broke out that I signed for Sölvesborg GIF and People were surprised to see it in the news paper and even my father got asked questions like how or when did I traveled. I thought I trained well enough but to my surprise I was no where near ready at all. I couldn't believe what I saw during the trainings I had to call one of my coaches back home and tell him how hard the trainings are for me. The new generation of young players don't like to train and they except someone to just come and say I will take you to trials. Many have failed not because they don't have the talent but because they don't train enough to meet the standards and social media has made them think otherwise. Your preparation is the most important thing you can do for sure yourself and just like Kobe Bryant said if you are well prepared for it you will not be afraid of failure.

Good morning, towel friends. I annotated my interview with Will The Glarer and I thought this section was interesting. "You couldn’t honeypot me if you fucking wanted to. I’ll reverse-honeypot you, motherfucker. Go ahead—try to honeypot me. See what happens. I’ll get more intel out of your agent than you’re going to get out of me." **Grant:** It’s because he doesn’t think straight when he has a woman in front of him, for some reason. **Will:** Grant, you’re projecting, my friend. Grant (Analysis): I mean, that’s what I was going to say to Will. He doesn’t understand this, and I don’t know... I don’t feel a need to defend myself, but you’re out of your mind if you think I didn’t date people in college. I mean, I lost 130 pounds from September 2007 to May 2008—specifically because I was at Boston College and I wanted to date people. I’ve had plenty of relationships. I’m just very disciplined—not because I necessarily wanted to be, but because I heard the call to be a priest in 2013, in the spring, right before I became disabled. I was praying to the Virgin Mary—the Virgin Mother, who’s the patroness of the Jesuit order—outside of Bapst Library. I think it was Bapst. I was praying outside. They have these little shrines to the Virgin Mother all around Boston College. I hope they’re still there; I really liked them. But anyway, I was praying to the Virgin Mother, and I’ll never forget that when you hear the call, it is not a joke. You may not choose to pursue discernment, but you are not getting away from that. It’s not your choice. If you hear the call, you’ve been called to serve. That’s it. It’s not a pact. You’ve literally been called to serve. Your life’s never going to be the same again. I was praying, and I heard the call. It was very clear. The call is different for everyone, but for me, it was like: “The world is yours to behold if you can abscond from your temporal inclinations.” Okay, I know what that means. It was not a choice. My entire life changed from that moment. From that moment on, I never thought about video games or Fridays or the weekend—or women—ever the same way again. I would like to have a partner, to love someone and take on the world together, but I never thought about the world the same way again. So a lot of people don’t understand me. People chase me all the time. I’m not interested in that. I turn people down all the time. I’m not being rude; I just don’t want that. I live to serve. Okay, imagine what it would come down to if I tried to be in the life of every person who wanted me to be intimate with them. I cannot do that. I’m meant to help people. If I was just in one person’s life, I’d have commitments to them and their family—and to my family—that would inhibit me from serving, and I can’t do that. I’m married to the cause: my cause, my principles, and the work that I do. And so it’s not... It’s just that people misunderstand—and will misunderstand—how disciplined I am. I am extremely disciplined over my own urges, over my brain. Everything is just logic. So no, it’s not the same for me. You couldn’t honeypot me if you fucking wanted to. I’ll reverse-honeypot you, motherfucker. Go ahead—try to honeypot me. See what happens. I’ll get more intel out of your agent than you’re going to get out of me. So don’t even do it. Most people don’t even bother because I’ll fuck with their head, and I will take the intel. You have to use intel to get intel, and if the person you’re targeting knows what you’re doing, you’re going to get nothing—and they’re going to rip intel out of your honeypot, and you’re going to end up in a negative tactical position. So that’s why I’m like, “No, Will, no.” I could be in a strip club and trade stocks, motherfucker. It does not affect me at all—at all, whatsoever. Completely disciplined. Zero impact. You couldn’t honeypot me if you wanted to. I’ve seen them try. They did try multiple times—blonde women, brunette women, whatever. I don’t have a type. Okay? I only like intelligent women, and I screen them, so you’re not getting anyone in my orbit at all, ever. My point is, though: No, we’re not the same. Will totally tactically misread that. I am not the same. You cannot do that to me because I’m not really interested in that—not because I don’t find it pleasurable or interesting, but because I’m smarter than that. I work in a very high-level apparatus of government as to the coverage that I do. You’re not honeypotting me. So no, I’ve suppressed those urges, and I don’t want to be involved with that. And the call to serve helped, by the way. It’s just not as interesting when you realize there are so many people to help. Why would you... Like, 97% of the population is there to procreate. We need that to happen. Three percent of the people are going to mold society. All right? You know what I’m saying?

Jensen Huang on how to convey your vision to employees: Question: "How you convey your vision to your employees and how you keep that sense of urgency in them so that they continue improving themselves?" Jensen: "So the question is how do I convey my vision to the employees and how do we convey a sense of urgency? First of all, you convey your vision the good old-fashioned way. And it's about telling a story. I'm not the best storyteller in the world, and I'm not the best, I don't enjoy public speaking, actually. And if you were to give me a choice right now between doing this versus just answering one of your emails, and I'll give you all my email address, you could all send me an email, and I'd be glad to respond to it. I'd rather do that. You know, I'm still an engineer, and I'm introverted by design, I guess. And I don't find myself particularly articulate. And so I don't enjoy the process of public speaking. But you have to force yourself to do it. It's for a good reason. It's for a good cause. I have to admit that speaking to my employees or speaking to NVIDIA's employees is the single most intimidating thing that I do. It freaks me out. And the reason for that is because I respect their time so much, and I know how important the meeting is, that in your own mind, the bar and the responsibility is extraordinary. But you have to put yourself, and I'm speaking to engineers here, you have to force yourself to communicate at a bigger picture level. You have to force yourself to practice. And it's something that over time you get better at. In terms of how do we communicate a sense of urgency? Just through action. They have to see that when I make decisions or when I do something or when something is near my field of influence, my scope of influence, that I do it with a sense of urgency. And it's amazing what that does. People simply pick up those habits from you. If your CEO works hard, you'll work hard. If your CEO cares, you'll care. If your CEO loves this company, you'll love this company. If your CEO is passionate about the work that we do, you'll be passionate about the work that we do. If your CEO does everything with an extraordinary sense of purpose and intensity and sense of urgency, you will too. It's amazing what happens when you're a leader of anything, whether you're a leader of a project team or, right? As I say that, you could almost everybody just, yeah, I get it. Leader of a project team or a leader of a lab team. The behavior and the values and the habits of that leader has an amazing way of rubbing off on everybody else."

Jackie Gleason, the legendary American comedian and star of "The Honeymooners", on the time he got CBS to send him a private train to Miami: In the 1960s, Gleason decided he didn't want to shoot his show in New York anymore. He wanted to do it in Miami, and he wanted to get there in style. "When we're doing the Honeymooners, I had a big contract for that for two years. And after the first year, I said I didn't want to do it. And they didn't believe me. They thought I had a job somewhere else. And finally, they realized that I just didn't want to do it." When the network came back asking him to do another show, Gleason was in California making a picture. He said yes, but with one condition: "I said, 'All right.' I said, 'But I want a train that goes to Florida.' Because I had come down here and played golf and liked it and I figured might as well go to Florida and do the show. Play golf all the time and they went for it." They went for it. What followed was a rolling party across the country. Gleason describes what was on the train: "Everything. We had two Dixieland bands come from California and they would spell each other. I'd say to them, 'Take five miles,' and the parties went on 24 hours." Asked if there were girls on the train, he laughs: "Boy, there were girls. There certainly were. And they were very, very nice girls. Nothing on it happened. I know that sounds ridiculous, but it didn't. Might have been because the berths were too small, but regardless of that, nothing happened on that trip." Asked if there was a bar on the train, his answer is perfect: "A bar. The train was a bar. I guess that's a classic example of what clout is." Then he delivers the line that sums up the whole story: "'Send a train, please.' That's right. When you've got good ratings and you're one, two, or three in the ratings, there is nothing your little heart desires that they don't provide."

Bam Adebayo GOES IN on the critics that says his 83 point game performance is unethical: "For the couch coaches, I mean, if you're in my shoes and you have, first of all, y'all are blaming me. You should be blaming the head coach. Get that first. I was not the one letting me go one-on-one the whole game until I had 70, and then you started to send a double. At that point, I got 70 with, like, what? nine minutes left to go in the game you think i'm not going for it like like and that's the thing that's crazy when they talk about the unethical part of the basketball i'm like if i have 70 points with 9 minutes to go Who would just be like, you know, coach, just take me out. Yeah, right. Anybody in my shoes with nine minutes left? Okay. A minute? All right. Nine? Yeah, I'm going for it. You can't be mad at that. If you are mad, I don't care because a lot of people, they're upset because if they did play, they never had a chance to get that close to chasing greatness. And then if you get that close to chasing greatness, that's the point of chasing it so you can surpass it. And some of the people have never played basketball. So like if you've been in the backyard and you and a couple of your homies have been playing 21 and you got 19. You're not going to get an easy look off. And four, they're going to talk about the free throws. It's not like I shoot 15 free throws a game. It's not like I average 10 free throws a game. You can watch the film. I was legitimately getting fouled every time. So I went to the free throw line."
