Of all the athletes competing at the upcoming Olympics, I am most excited to see Noah Lyles. After his 100 and 200 sprint victories at last year’s World Athletics Championships, Lyles made this controversial yet thought-provoking comment: “the thing that hurts me the most is that I have to watch the NBA finals, and they have World Champions on they head. World champions of what?! The United States?!” This is no ignorant comment nor ignorant man. What I hear him imply is that track & field is a much more mature, popular, competitive, and inclusive sport than basketball. I agree. T&F has ancient roots, with modern day competition starting in the 19th century. Since that time, the sport has grown to almost every pocket of the globe, reaching talent, attracting talent and making the sport more competitive and qualitatively better. Modern day NBA is not as global, not as far reaching, not as historical. It hasn’t looked under as many rocks to unearth and attract talent. Today’s NBA is not what it was a quarter century ago. The international community is catching up, attracting talent. E.g., South Sudan. Even domestically, we see the emergence of untraditional, game-changing superstars like Steph Curry—who’s given every regular physiqued kid hope at NBA/WNBA stardom—and LeBron James, whose physique traditionally translated to a sure NFL TE 1st rounder, not arguably the best human to-date to ever play the game. The game is still maturing. So when Noah Lyles stood on that podium in recognition of his feats, the history, reach, and competitive maturity of his sport validates, IMO and his, a more meaningful World Champion. Makes me think about my profession. Today’s legal profession—much more diverse and inclusive than yesterday’s—is qualitatively better. And tomorrow’s will be even better. https://lnkd.in/gwc4qe9Y

Here's an example of why I am very selective with entertaining what I read on the internet. I'd encourage everyone to also not get swayed by articles that deliberately provoke your emotions. Take a UK article asking why England football manager Southgate picked Eberechi Eze instead of Jack Grealish among his strikers for the UEFA Euro 2024 squad. The thing is there are so many strikers in his squad - Bowen, Foden, Gordon, Kane, Palmer, Saka, Toney and Watkins. Why single out Eze and Grealish? There's a word for this - shit-stirring - and it happens every day with news articles! We need to be more discerning with what we choose to believe or even consider worthy of comment. Learn to not just distinguish opinion from fact but also form your own opinion from what you pick up. Don't be led (or misled) by partisan views.

Absolutely brilliant use of the tools to highlight movement and space within a 3-4-3 system. Creating space with (IML) intelligent movement leading. Excellent work Rob, overlapping wingbacks and creative passing. The graphics and telestration is world class 👏🏻👏🏻
