I dont break the Rona Rules. I can;t walk around if I even try. I will 100% get Tom Cruised if I break a rule. Color me this. Can two ambulance drivers break the 6 x 6? My issue is the yelling part, not the breaking of the rules. Tom is acting like the actor he truly is. Tell your pal EOTL that Tom Hanx is alive so I'm not buying into all that fear based garbage out there. I said this long long ago, two choices to pick. Light or dark. I 100% believe that and that only. Bible, church and all the religion is all made mad. Glory be to Christ and his conscious only. God I want that so bad you have no idea. Love, peace, patience, kindness, honesty, no cheating, no kick backs, no nothing. Only love and light from everything that is pure. BTW, we will still have competitive sports, just no waivers and cheating allowed and kiss ass dads getting what they want for their boy.. Seems that Jesus ran the 100 pretty good and Peter was good at fencing. Judes was really good being in charge of the money. Paul was sailor. Let the games begin. Cheaters who cheat will be 100% disqualified in this new game. Stop cheating right now and then come play and you will get the best prize ever that you truly earn.

Tom does not need his movie to be a success. He’s done pretty well for himself, or so I hear. You are mentally ill if you’re upset at someone who is doing his best to - safely - help get others to work. Those two dumbf**ks were jeopardizing income for everyone around them. And that’s exactly what people like you are doing when you encourage others to do whatever the f**k they want. Congratulations for your contribution to where we are right now. You’d be working right now if you and your denialist, it isn’t that bad, let’s go play kiddie soccer and hang out in bars, demanding that teachers put themselves in danger because you’re unwilling to step in and fill the gaps during this crisis dumbf**k friends had any brains at all and could see past tomorrow. Continue feeling sorry for yourself, because I don’t. Over the last ten months you’ve earned what you got.
Wow, such kindness tonight. Are you ok, little man?

Don't worry. In a few nights, he'll be visited by three spirits.
Spirits are coming out at 12am. Do NOT let any old spirit in your life. They be looking to take over any soul that is willing. Talk about a homeless spirit world were about to enter.
“I’ve been talking about this since the transition in 2016, how dangerous I thought General Flynn was,” Christie said. “I sat with him in security briefings with the then-candidate Donald Trump, and then with President Donald Trump, and I will tell you that he is not fit to be giving advice to anyone.”
And you are the fit one to teach us all how fit you are and the General is not fit? Oh please, what a crock of sh*t this guy is. I can see with my eyes. You have no room to talk Christopher. Now way!!!!
Or is this guy fit?

Catarina Macario talked about how much she developed as a player at Stanford. I cannot think of any player that was more prepared as a freshman to play D1 soccer, yet she continued to develop. Any player that does not develop while playing D1 soccer will see decreased play time. Wait a few years and if things work out for your DD, you will change your mind on the development issue. Maybe you peaked when you were 18, but everyone is different.

I don’t believe Macario’s statement. I think she’s politicking, making Stanford look good, and trying to get her papers so she can play on the National team. Do you really think Macario can be candid? How can you reconcile your position with the fact that Macario won the Mac Herman award her freshman year?
Girls aren’t developing much after 15. So, I respectfully submit most are getting hustled and won’t even benefit from letter leagues. Their fitness MAY be better but not much development occuring.
What experience or examples do you have to support your position that girls aren’t developing much after 15?
Julie Ertz completely turned her career around after being dropped from the WNT player pool. Went out to NJ and trained with Carli Lloyd and a few others to redevelop her game. Came splashing back into the fold before the World Cup and has developed herself into a major component of the teams success.

This, not so much. Please clarify.
Aren't developing physically?
Aren't developing technically?
Aren't developing tactically?
I would argue that after 15 is when you are really able to start understanding the nuances of the game and you see more "game development". Understanding and implementing tactics and concepts. Add in a little more technical development and the player starts to come into their own. I think that is where the US struggles, is we have very few coaches, or programs, that can develop players between the ages of 16 and 20-21.

I hear what you are saying but she did not win in her frosh year - Andi Sullivan did. Whether they are developing, I leave that to the soccer folks. I know that there are some folks that consider that period - 18 to 22 - as a time of physical and mental maturity among athletes. Maybe they'd grow as players regardless of the situation but unless they can make a living in a pro club at that age, having all or some of college paid for (and all of their training paid for) in a critical time can't hurt (in my view anyway).

I have failed to communicate so I’ll try again using your example of Ertz. I think it is relatively clear by time a kid is 15 if they have the ability to play at the highest levels. Maybe Ertz’ was burned out or hanging in the dorms at Stanford securing the ring on her finger and the surname Ertz. Once she whipped it on Mr. Ertz and had his nose wide opened she again focused on soccer. I don’t know that I’d call that development though.

I agree but you can’t squeeze blood from a turnip. You have to have the genetics. One of my kids besties is a great artist that would give Bob Ross a run for his money. On the other hand my kid is artistically challenged and despite all the help in the world, she will forever suck at art. Folks need to understand that everything ain’t for everybody. Get in where you fit in!
Dude...she made all the aforementioned accomplishments prior to meeting her husband.
Heck. Alex Morgan would be another example of someone who really developed later in her career since she really didn’t start playing competitively till she was 12.
You may have something with having the ability to play at a higher level, but even elite players continue to develop well into their 20’s. Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy are to names I can think of off the top of my head.
She was a rock star on the WNT as Johnston. That said, I agree with you there isn’t a lot of development in college, and she is a good example of that. Her college “development” only caused her to initially flounder as a pro until she turned things around training with the likes of Carli Lloyd.
Macario is probably the worst possible example to use as proof that players develop significantly in college. She is perhaps the only player in college for whom a lucrative pro career is an absolute lock, and she therefore has the motivation to engage in additional training and effort that does not exist for anyone else. To the extent she has developed significantly, it is in large part due to her use of Stanford’s resources beyond the limited time NCAA rules allow for team activities.
Hmm, this can be a slippery slope. We can discuss the pathways for early and late bloomers until we are blue in the face.
But yes, people certainly have ceilings. Some ceilings are tall, some not so tall. Every example of an early bloomer finding success at the U12 world championship in ____(insert sport here), you can find an example of a late bloomer going pro.
I suppose I would agree that by age 15, you could determine whether your kid can chew gum and dribble or just play the hell out of the flute.
I know that both of my kids couldn't paint a fence or beat a drum - but both can break your ankles with their cross over dribble on the bball court or break your hands with their strike from just outside the 18. Part of me wishes they would have continued with instruments when they were younger, but they sucked.
Best take of the week bro. I hear some of the very top programs practice 3-5 hours a day. Not a lot of outside fun really for the best of the best and who wants to get in the game.

Damn it, you got me. But, I think for the most part all of the examples you gave are outliers that had higher ceilings than most. I’d also bet that you could tell all of those athletes were special at 15. I think that guy Wando in the MLS supports your position too.
Nah man don't believe that b.s. NCAA rules only allow 4 hours per day for your sport. Sure an injured player may use up all four hours when you included time in the training room before and after practice. But no one is on the pitch for 4 hours. 2 to 2.5 hours tops.
Cool, thanks for the update.
