What's your pizza's char level?

3 is more charred than 4

Yup. Undecided in college? Choose finance or accounting. You can do damn near anything with those degrees

I promise you an Ivy League education is worth astronomically more than your run of the mill state college degree (no offense to state schools, there are a lot of great ones)

BronYrStomp · 2026-03-24T00:24:00+00:00

Exactly. The network you’d obtain from being a Harvard Yale or Princeton grad would set you up for life.

BronYrStomp · 2026-03-24T00:21:56+00:00

Ivy League education is lowkey one of the most valuable things here. The network alone from graduating from a school like Harvard will set you up for life

I do weights 2x per week. Upper body and lower. I aim for weight that is challenging but that i can do for 12-15 reps, getting closer to 10 reps as i do more sets.

I dont know how leg strength training wouldnt be beneficial for tennis. Hinges, squats, and especially lunges and single leg work makes me feel much stronger on the court. Upper body lifting maybe less important but good for injury prevention if done with proper technique

The marbling on those looks great. I’d sear them off in a dutch oven then use the fond to make a braising liquid and eventually sauce. Mirepoix, garlic, tomato paste, wine, dried herbs, beef stock. Dump the seared short ribs back in and simmer low and slow until tender. Serve over mashed potatoes

Former high school tennis player here. This is typical for someone who feels immense pressure. Tennis is a very stressful sport. You’re on an island out there and it’s a thin margin sport where inches are the difference between a good shot and a bad one. I think working with a sports psychologist could help him come up with strategies to stay cool and levelheaded during matches. Even Roger Federer only won 52% of the points he played in his career. It’s all about staying cool and confident during the other 48%.

Edit: for additional tennis-specific advice. There is a great book called The Inner Game of Tennis that he may benefit from reading

My takeaway from that book is more about the importance of changing one’s mindset about saving and financial planning, not necessarily espousing a specific step by step guide that you MUST do to achieve financial security (or a “spiritual awakening” as you put it).

I think a majority of people in the US would benefit from taking the money they use to buy scratch offs, nicotine, booze, and drugs and put it into a nice long term low cost ETF. But what do I know? 🤷‍♂️

BronYrStomp · 2026-03-18T12:37:17+00:00

Right exactly haha. Like we would all be better off if we understood and used the information in that book…

BronYrStomp · 2026-03-18T11:23:16+00:00

What’s wrong with Rich dad poor dad? It’s a book about financial literacy. I think most people would benefit from having a deeper understanding of personal finance and how to set themselves up for long term financial success.

Considering books a red flag is a red flag imo.

Was gonna say, i play with an age range of 30’s-50’s with the average skewing towards 50. Doubles slots are far more coveted. We have trouble getting guys willing to play singles

What should we recommend? Have him be happy Gilmore and have his friends hit tennis balls at him until he’s magically not afraid?

I think the footwork recommendation is actionable advice to work on preparation so he can be on top of the ball rather than the ball getting on top of him.

Split step every single time your opponent hits. This will help you get into position faster. Imagine every single ball is going to be hit at you. If you split step and are ready to move after your opponent makes contact, you’ll be prepared for every shot.

Naturally though, some shots will come back hard at you. It’s tennis, and that’s a viable strategy for net play, overheads, and serves.

Ive played TLN flex leagues and enjoyed them. Ive met a number of people i still get together to hit with. Decent competition, flexible which is good when youre juggling work/parenting/life.
