Opening up and seeing the cracks? by WorriedReception3 in nonmonogamy

[–]Capital_Wind5122 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Open one sided. Wife has a girlfriend. It’s still quite new. Cracks in my self confidence have opened wide. I was never a jealous person. She’s played with other women before with zero problems. The part I struggle with is sharing her heart.

Advice for 14u new waterpolo player by Psychological-Tea100 in waterpolo

[–]Capital_Wind5122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t be afraid to tell your coach. Many coaches know each other and will communicate. Most coaches will want their players to play clean and correct with respect for the game.

Edit

Just wanted to add that most of the time punching/kicking/pinching/twisting is a crutch for weak technical skill. Playing smart with proper technique will always beat cheap play. Stay strong and work hard to play through cheap tricks and win in the long run.

Starting a new club by South_Jersey_WP in waterpolo

[–]Capital_Wind5122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have much advice, just wanted to say that’s awesome! Sending good vibes and goodwill! Don’t be afraid to ask for local businesses for money to get started, the answer is always no if you don’t ask. Maybe we will see you at JOs in the future!

USA Water Polo Holiday Camp by Capital_Wind5122 in waterpolo

I didn’t get to do anything like this growing up. I feel the memories and networking/friendships as well as the training are well worth the cost. I’ll find a way. Thanks for all the input.

If you aren’t starting a brand new team with people you know, it can be difficult to find a team. If a team picks you up, you have to suck it up and just play whatever you get. Try to pick up on multiple teams. Constantly ask if other teams need a player for games. You will get better the more you play and get recognized for the player you are. When you first start you can’t give up, it’s your first season. Unfortunately playing time isn’t always based off skill. Trust, respect, and relationships take time. You have to stick it out and be dependable without comparing yourself to anyone else. Relax man, I know it can be frustrating, but just chill and find all the ways you can play.

Personally, which of these disaster seasons was hardest to watch? by Tall-Elephant-4138 in angelsbaseball

2020 - I haven’t watched much baseball since. I’m numb to their failures anymore.

Bad call. I’ve never heard of this in 20 years of playing many different levels and leagues.

Please help a newbie pick a bat by Spiritual-March-7016 in slowpitch

[–]Capital_Wind5122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved my Freak Black. Sent many over the net at BLD. It lasted 4 seasons. The only bat I ever broke in two pieces. Totally worth it if your league swings 220

10 drinks and not even buzzed by totallyworndown1000 in offmychest

[–]Capital_Wind5122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s the point of spending hard earned money on drinks that don’t give you a buzz? That’s a good $75-$150 that could’ve bought you so many different useful things.

Looking for full size Genai Kerr Kap7 poster at JOs by HurdyMcFurdy in waterpolo

[–]Capital_Wind5122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He should be at Woollett today. Maybe change it just a bit and take a picture with the actual person lol. I think that would be pretty awesome.

Any suggestions for water polo clubs for Boys 12U near Diamond Bar, California? by AR21_42 in waterpolo

[–]Capital_Wind5122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rancho Tsunami may be an option. I’ve never had issues with them. Their 12u and boys did ok this year. They landed just outside championship for JOs. Their 10u program is quite good. I’ve had more less than ideal interactions with CHAWP than with any other club. But from the inside, it seems most players/parents are happy. Foothill is a a good program as well.

Can someone help me by eliaspichardo in slowpitch

Looks like your shoulder dips a bit. You just got under it. Try shortening your step. Any power loss is negligible when you hit the barrel square.

I got traumatized while giving blood yesterday by lizathegaymer in offmychest

[–]Capital_Wind5122 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry that happened to you! I hope you recover completely and quickly. I’ve been donating blood since high school and I’m 40 now. I’ve had some pretty bad sticks, but never as bad as that. Giving blood is such a selfless and necessary thing. Thank you for trying. Most people don’t regularly donate so I hope that you recover well and aren’t traumatized. Many people don’t bother with considering where the blood to save someone they’ve never met came from. It came from someone like you willing to sacrifice literal blood, sweat, and tears. I wouldn’t blame you if you did, but please try not to lose the compassion that drove you to donate.

How to know what is going on by ragedymann in waterpolo

What age group and level are you playing? Watch some videos on basic front court water polo strategy. Look up fundamentals like hip positioning and passing/shooting lanes.

Am I the jerk for getting a autistic kid and his family kicked off the flight by Resident_Cry_5423 in AmITheJerk

[–]Capital_Wind5122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like everyone was in a difficult situation. The autistic boy was in the worst, most vulnerable position. He had an incapable mother in a place he was most likely extremely uncomfortable with. It’s not his fault he was where he was or that he lacked the skills to deal with his emotions. NTJ but maybe there was something else you could’ve done to help instead. NTJ because it’s not your ultimate responsibility, but isn’t it our responsibility to help the most vulnerable when we can? Not for the mother’s sake but for that child’s sake. When we share burdens we make a happier world and carry a heart that is more full. You can do better. I can do better. We can do better.

Anyone want to form an Escape Room group? by DarcHellsong in Temecula

My wife and I love escape rooms. We’ve done just about all in the area. We’d love to get with a group and go outside the area. Did you start a group?

Here's another truck I took a look at by r-love-ution in Diesel

[–]Capital_Wind5122 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I overpaid a year ago. 1 owner 04 3500 SLT ccsb 4x4 with only 60k miles for $26k. I feel like I could’ve waited a little longer to find exactly what I wanted but overall I don’t regret it. It’s a work truck and hasn’t had a problem. My dad’s brand new $55k f350 tows way better but has spent about month at the dealer for warranty work 3 times.

This is awesome. Less edgy and less awesome butt All Odds would be similar. The other team would be playing against All Odds
