Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[butchna]

what would you say if jordan began experiencing a phenomenon where at the height of his jumper, his brain told him he was 6ft in the air, when in reality he was only 4ft, so his ankles weren't braced for a landing, spiking the potential of him spraining an ankle or worse. he should just play through that, right?

Since it’s all hypothetical, he would have adjusted, aced it and won 6 more titles.

I would think that is most ridiculous, dumbest thing I had ever heard…..Mentally toughness needs to be taught and encouraged…..allowing excuses encourages the opposite….. it is a very creative excuse for her quitting though.

the video of her parents celebrating was really great.

Haven't seen it yet, but I'd imagine they are very proud parents, and deservedly so.

 

[drvenner]

Meh. World Cup is way better

All those nil-nil games are absolutely riveting.

Seriously I do like the World Cup a lot. Both can be good.

 

[Jackcrevol]

These two are to blame for billions of marijuanas overdose deaths. Smh.

legal iiiii's

 

[Devo182]

Well duh. That’s the Goat, but it does make me mad knowing the US never has a chance to win that.

Just takes one good run. If Croatia, a country with fewer people than the state of Tennessee, can make the final, surely we at least have some future chance. Hopefully the current young guns turn out to be our best yet.

He would have taken some innocent gesture of sportsmanship from one of the Romanian gymnasts and somehow convinced himself it was a slight. Then he would used that as motivation to come out and drop a 50-spot on them.

Wait, what are we talking about again?

Still need better coaching to go with the young talent.

Corrected. Thank you

I imagine if Simone Biles had acknowledged the problem, yet vowed to try and fight through it, then broke her neck because of it, everyone here would be applauding her courage.....

 

[RikidyBones]

Me to @Geaux_Vols and him ignoring my trolls

That before a game 5? Before the Finals even started? Oh…after the first trifecta championship had been won. For analogy hills, this is a bad death.

Maybe diagnose it sooner?

i keep forgetting about him, but i think hes going to be sneaky good.

I think the whole WR corp could be sneaky good..

Payton...Hyatt...Jones...Tillman...Calloway...Keyton...Coby...Holiday...Merrill.

With as fast as Heupel likes to go, I think all of these kids will play...plenty of speed! A few studs will emerge...

 

[Weezer]

Maybe diagnose it sooner?

Maybe recognize she takes meds for it but they suddenly weren't working?

That’s some kind of hypothetical gymnastics, Geaux.

 

[butchna]

How is that close to the same thing?

Ooh! Ooh! I know this one!

 

[Geaux_Vols]

That’s some kind of hypothetical gymnastics, Geaux.

its what is happening to biles. its called "the twisties". its not hypothetical at all.

 

[volbeast33]

I would guess that we both are about equally knowledgeable on this subject….. we just have different opinions…. I coach and work with and coach youth sports…. I am a firm believer in your mind having more to do with being a good athlete than your physical attributes. Not being able to control your thoughts leads to more failure than anything….. Pressure comes from within the individual…… have to be able to control your fears which are self made.

 

[butchna]

Meds for what? And if it’s necessary for her to compete it should be disqualifying.

 

[engineerVOL]

But that’s not what happened to MJ? Correct?

 

[Weezer]

She mentioned meds that stopped working. She didn't specifically say what for, but my first guess would be anti-anxiety, or possibly anti-depressants.

We’re not. I’ve been around gymnastics my entire life. It’s not a fear thing. It’s the brain not giving the body correct info. It’s not a thing you can muscle through.
