Seven years ago, we had tryouts at my club for a u9 boys team. There was a kid that several coaches didn’t want to take. “Too slow” “Not very athletic” But we fought for this kid. it was obvious even then that he was smart, a thinker. We had a lot of runners, we didn’t have a lot of thinkers…

I don't like beer, but I understand why other people do. But IPA just... it isn't people food. I feel guilty using it for slug traps.

I keep seeing "Why aren't the Americans striking" and "Because our healthcare is tied to our jobs" and it never gets less true or less depressing

Harp strings resonate in accordance with eachother, so if you make a sudden noise near one, the whole instrument will sound. Anyway, I've got a harp in my bedroom (I'm Welsh) and the other night a string snapped at 3am as they do occasionally, all 37 strings sounded magnificently and I shit myself.

A little ramble on youth sport and it's delivery. When I talk about obliquity, I mean to get away from the rigid linearity that we continue to embrace. We generally think "we need to build future prospects!" (IE "professionals"). The words steer our beliefs and delivery.

It was a tough decision to step back from the B09 team I'd coached since u10, but I obviously left them in good hands! My former assistant coaches are still preaching the possession game. Here's a sequence of 40 passes followed by a scoring chance from today's game. Amazing! vimeo.com/1054898506

How Emma Hayes hopes to revolutionize U.S. women's soccer — far beyond the USWNT. “I want people to be uncomfortable,” she says. And she wants you to consider “how [you]'ve been viewing the women's game through [a] male lens.” sports.yahoo.com/how-emma-hay...

So I tried a thing today with moderation of blocking words/text and I blocked a url to a local newspaper that has been using SCABS from showing up and I’m happy to report that it works.
