I was journaling this morning about failure and wrote: "...because no one bats a thousand." (1.000 for my non-baseball folks)
Then I couldn't help myself and completely paused my journaling because I had to know...what's the best batting average of all time?
Turns out Josh Gibson had the best overall batting average at .372 and the best single season average in the MLB at .466 in 1943, which is crazy.
But what that also means is that even in his BEST season, he didn't hit half the balls that he got...yet, he's still in the history books.
Do with that info what you will....
Happy Monday! Make it a great week

It's time for a lesson in the #ScienceofHockey brought to you by the Science Center of Iowa! How is a goalie's success measured?
Save percentage is one way goalies are evaluated. A goalie's save percentage is calculated by their total number of saves recorded divided by the total number of shot attempts taken on that goalie. Above a .900 or 90% is typically considered "good" for hockey goalies.

Of the 16 Positions in a Test Lineup, England have covered 7. That in my opinion is problematic against the Better Teams. One could say that it’s unfair to leave out Archer and Wood. My response to that is, I just witnessed Archer bowl in the 80s during a T20 Match. Two, can Mark Wood be a primary option if there’s uncertainty around Ben Stokes ability to bowl? Can Wood be 1 of 4 Bowlers?

🔊🔊🔊Brent Burns on 3-Turns... Long video post, but worth a look 👀. Youth players sometime ask, “Why practice these when you wouldn’t use them in a game? Well, Brent Burns, Makar, and other National Hockey League (NHL) players see the value in them. In this excerpt from my presentations for The Coaches Site and NHL Coaches' Association, I asked BB why he does 3-Turns in pre-game warm ups.
ATTRIBUTES OF 3-TURNS & HOW IT TRANSCENDS TO ALL PLAYERS:
Glide Platform - One Leg Balance - Agility & Deception - Body & Edge Control -Strengths on all 8 Edges - Weight Distribution & Shift - Coordination - Forward & Backward Edges - Transitional Moves - Blade Grip/Pivot/Angle - Upper/Lower Body Separation - Rotational Sequence for Turning
