There are valuable lessons that can and should be learned and taught in youth sports but sadly it’s lost on many

The ability to be coachable take direction and listen. The lessons of learning how to lose and win. The understanding that winning is easy, but do it when it takes to win is hard and on the other hand, losing as hard but doing what it takes to lose is easy. The value that comes from playing under different coaches and different personalities and understanding and identifying the leadership style you gravitate to. The lessons learned by being part of a group where leaders are identified and followed for their work ethic and not just because they’re popular.

I coach at the high school level and while it is not always obvious who played or even excelled in youth sports. It’s obvious the kids that learned those traits early on through youth, sports or activities, and where deeply reinforced in the home.

I also have and have had athletes that are entitled, never take responsibility, constantly blame someone else and are always the victim, and they are extremely talented and played multiple sports since they were very young.

Youth sports is in a guarantee of an improved development path into adolescence, teenage or adulthood, but it does offer one avenue

I agree with all of this. Sports is a great way to learn life lessons about mental toughness, adversity, and being part of a team.

What I don't like about youth sports nowadays is the "all or nothing" approach. Most coaches want the athletes all to themselves, and discourage multiple sports. And this business of you have to play club or AAU to have a chance at the highschool team is unfortunate.

Competition for spots is always a thing, but I have seen in my own family a child's love for a sport erode away due to a coach that demands year round participation. It stinks that a kid will turn away from a sport because the coach wants them involved 10 months out of the year for a single sport.

Are the teams not allowed to bring food/snacks for the swimmers? That would be odd to me

I've seen HS cross country meets where teams have a spread of all kinds of food for the runners before/after the race

Congrats to the team. Cross Country is a great sport and flies below the radar. Looks like LSU went out and bought some Kenyans in order to compete nationally.

I agree with everyone. I didn't discover this movie until well after it came out. I look forward to catching it every year as it is played quite a bit around the holidays. The actor playing the guy in charge of Lassiter's company who Cage replaces does a great job portraying himself as a little bitch.

This may be a dumb question, but using IPTV will I also be uploading my content for others?

About a decade ago I dabbled in Pirate Bay, and I remember having to be online all the time to upload for others. Is that still a thing?

The VOD is live tv too

So the VOD line basically live + on demand?
Yeah I might have to spring for the extra VOD lines then. Going to start setting it up tomorrow

I got the referral link. I appreciate it

If I want to watch on 3 different tv’s do I have to purchase 3 different feeds?

I thought last night's episode (11/13) was the best yet in terms of strategy for Tribal Council. They had a plan to whack Rizzo until Sophie ran her mouth to MC, who of course tells Juwan. Juwan tells Sage who goes back to Sophie. In the meantime, Savannah arrives to cast her vote or save it for a later council. 4 of the original 5 that lost succeeded in convincing Rizzo not to play his idol. After Sophie realized Juwan knew about her plan, they all should have gone back to the strategy of voting off Rizzo. In my mind if there were 4 votes against Rizzo and he plays his idol, no harm no foul, at least he no longer has immunity.

Then out of nowhere the TC everyone votes for MC.

I don't get why MC got kicked off. She isn't a threat yet and has seemingly gotten along with everyone. I really enjoyed this episode until they counted the votes. They had Rizzo by the balls and let him off the hook. Now he has his idol and the self proclaimed "hot grim reaper" has a banked vote.

He went on his tirade about protecting taxpayer funds from paying Kelly's buyout. This was a red herring because there is no chance in hell that the buyout, whatever it winds up being, will come from state money.

But by directing his minions at LSU to withhold Kelly's payment, LSU is now being sued. Guess who pays those lawyers? State taxpayers.

He grandstanded on being for the "little man" but in reality the little man was never at risk until the lawsuits started, which will actually cost the "little man," i.e. taxpayer funds
