After forensically analysing the Smithy's VFL fixture, here's how it looks for your club in 2024. 2024 Smithy’s VFL Fixture: Club-by-club - https://lnkd.in/gB8iF8jB

When North Carolina State tipped off in the ACC tournament three weeks ago, the Wolfpack had a 17-14 record and an infinitesimal chance of making the NCAA tournament. But they ripped off five wins in five days to steal an automatic berth to March Madness. Then they went on a wild run even by the standards of an event known for insanity. Now they’re easily the most improbable Final Four team of the past decade. What were the odds of the Wolfpack getting this far? To find out, you can take the win probabilities for each of the past four games from the college-basketball statistical website kenpom.com, then multiply those percentages to quantify the rough likelihood of a Final Four run. N.C. State was a 1-in-88 long shot. But even that number doesn’t accurately convey how unexpected this Final Four romp has been. That’s because the Wolfpack really had to survive and advance nine times. The chance of that happening wasn’t 1 in 88. It was more like 1 in 23,512. To put that .004% probability in context, the National Weather Service says you’re more likely to get struck by lightning during your lifetime. How can you not love underdogs & March Madness! #statistics #marchmadness #underdogs https://lnkd.in/eYYfjg3E

What about DII and DIII? During our Revenue Sharing Workshop, a viewer asked Kristi Dosh, "can you speak to the impact of the House v. NCAA settlement on the different divisions?" Here's her answer.

As someone fairly new into their coaching journey, having someone of a similar age who is so detailed in their coaching, who understands the tactical intricacies of the modern game and conducts practice to a level I haven’t been exposed to before, Dan will become an excellent coach. The way he’s embraced his first season coaching student athletes has been fascinating from both a development/learning perspective as well as a tactical one. Top work Dan and great analysis. #coaching

This is Hunter Wilson, he’s one of my players. 86-89 (steadily increasing) with a plus curveball and changeup mix. Recently added to the Phillies National 2026 Scout Team. We've had a heavy focus on back-side to front-side weight distribution, and have stressed a complete understanding of the explosive movement occurring between the two points. This has allowed Hunter to get to a comfortable level of velocity, movement, changing speeds, and locating all while repeating a consistent delivery every pitch. This is something most players don't get a feel for until college. The first video is a four-pitch sequence. We’re working on changing eye level. (Fastball up, Curveball in the zone, Fastball in the zone, Curveball down). https://lnkd.in/dpF-izij Second video we’re working on “drawing X’s” on both sides of the plate. (2 Seam FB arm side, Curveball glove side, Changeup arm side, 4 FB Seam glove side). https://lnkd.in/djrSAnwD Third video; we are working on Changeups arm side. 15 years old, tickling 90 and throwing a true 3 pitch + mix to both sides of the plate. https://lnkd.in/d77eWg5M

When you're scouting players think about the four corners of a player's ability. We often just look at the physical and technical / tactical areas of player's game. Don't neglect the psychological and social aspects. Here are just a few simple cues to look for when scouting: These cues were taking from the brilliant Anatomy of a Football Scout book by Jon Cotterill.
