United States Hockey League (USHL)’s Post

How does the Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards compare himself to the great Michael Jordan? In this article, I deep dive into this subject. https://lnkd.in/gbRqyvxP

I’ll never take for granted the opportunity to pour into the lives of the next generation of leaders. Today, I had the privilege of sharing with Lawrence County Bulldogs football team. Here’s a snapshot of our conversation: • Every single day, you get two things: 1. A chance and 2. A choice. The choices you make after you get your chance will determine the quality of your life. • Hungry dogs run faster. Be grateful but never satisfied 1. You have to pay today for what you want tomorrow • Wake up every single day and plant seeds • the December’s state championship is won today 2. Wipe It Clean • Yesterday’s wins belong to yesterday. • What got you here won’t get you there • Commit to winning today instead of worshipping what you won yesterday 3. It’s Bigger Than You • Creating a mindset of service to the people around you • Every move you make impacts everyone around you

MY FIRST: Exploring what a trade-up for MHJ would look like for Indy and some evidence they should probably steer clear. Or not. https://lnkd.in/gVVNxuyc

Feels like a "Tim Day" today Here's an excellent addendum to my previous post on the HIGH SKILLS that can be developed from coaching

Sharing an article that came out today written about so many topics that are the most important in my life: Family, Baseball, Community, Technology, and the work projects I have poured my heart into over the years. REALLY proud of this South Hill Little League team, the work they put in, the grit and toughness they have shown, and how they play for each other. Next man up! We Believe!! For Real For Real https://lnkd.in/gDxiQ6ee

Top-level Soccer teams have refused to play on #artificialturf fields in the USA for years. Now, major NFL players are raising concerns about injuries caused while playing on these recycled surfaces. The pivot away from these highly touted playing surfaces is likely to be an uphill battle and will come with a large price tag as more and more lower-level organizations make the transition away from natural grass fields.

Love this quote from Minnesota Timberwolves Head Coach Chris Finch: "It's always been--you have to learn how to compete. Then, you have to learn how to always compete. Then, you have to learn to compete at the high levels. When you do that, you are always going to give yourself a chance to win." I'll post the video link in the comments. Go attack this afternoon, #compete, and give yourself a chance to win the day! #linkedinsports

#BusterOlney posted this "Within other organizations, there is a lot of disgust with how the A’s have handled the ballpark situation — especially when there’s no actual ballpark plan settled in #LasVegas. And there is an assumption the A’s will tank in the next few years, because their #revenuestream will be down to a trickle. 'This makes us all look bad,' said one person." Lets be honest the Oakland Athletics would not be in this situation if it wasn't for these so called "other organizations." They unanimously #approved #Vegas without a legitimate plan for #JohnFisher and #DaveKaval. Also, it is not like Fisher has not relied on "revenue sharing," signed their top prospects to long-term deals, or done anything to continue to keep the A's competitive when the franchise started winning. So who has enabled the #Athletics? Those who are now complaining about a team that is willing to play for at minimum in a #minorleagueballpark for three seasons, possibly more while a nonexistent stadium in another state may not even come to fruition. While completing ignoring that the city of #Oakland finally stood ground against the A's. Got nearly $1 billion in funding to build a ballpark at #HowardTerminal. We're not buying what other organizations are saying Buster. Then again it is also sad said person could not put a name to their face for when they said "this makes us all look bad." Sorry but Major League Baseball (MLB) and owners have looked bad for a long time when it comes to the situation regarding Oakland. Funny thing is this all could have been avoided if #MLB had a #legitimateleadership and a #competent #commissioner.

In the electrifying world of professional football, where passion collides with prowess, the players of the National Football League (NFL) are no strangers to adversity on the field. While they train rigorously to endure bone-jarring tackles and high-impact collisions, there’s a lesser-known adversary that often goes unnoticed beneath their cleats – artificial turf. As the NFL strives for innovation and enhanced performance, artificial playing surfaces have become increasingly prevalent, posing unique threats to the well-being of its star athletes.

What does NIL have to do with Citizen Rosebud, my presentation at the 2024 Cooperstown Symposium on Thursday May 30th between 4-5 PM at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum? Jesse Owens surpassed every expectation as an athlete and won four Gold Medals in the 1936 Berlin Olympics in Nazi, Germany. Yet when he returned to America after the Olympics, after the parades, he was long forgotten and forced to work many odd jobs. Not many know what happened next for the Buckeye Bullet, which I will cover in my presentation as the first step in the Citizen Rosebud movement. NIL is about leveraging an athlete to maximize their off-field earnings, especially when their playing careers are over. Jesse Owens tried his best to maximize his NIL long before it became a "thing". Therefore, Jesse's full story should be told and never forgotten because the themes of his story continue to be ever rampant in society today. I am excited to see the Rosebuds bloom, starting in Cooperstown next Thursday.
