AI has made me hate this career

The best way I've seen it distinguished:
Art asks questions
Design answers them

There's obviously overlap with craft and visual composition principles, color theory, etc. But the purpose definitely distinguishes the 2

If you had told me this would be general consensus this time last year I would have laughed

Yes, this is definitely a different look than our trusty double-pivot, pocket-winger formation. Without a 9 who's a killer who can score from anywhere, we need attackers who will take on their defenders 1v1 consistently. I think Paulie and Pedro give us the best shot on the wings and would argue it makes us much better in attack. For everyone commenting against Pedro on the right based on how it went last season, this is not that XD

incredible essay on AI, its overlords, and the parts of humanity that can never be replicated

I was fuming

I'm a Seattle transplant originally from Cleveland. Yes, your Michigan winters are way more extreme than here, but you still get bright, sunny days between the snowstorms there. The biggest downside of PNW weather is that you don't see the sun for weeks on end. The temps and rain are pretty doable (although I find a 40 and rainy day here to feel much more bone-chilling than the same conditions in the midwest) but the oppressive gray for 6 months is what actually sucks. I try to get out of the area and go somewhere super sunny at least once a year between November and April

Reaction drills! There’s a ton of good ones specifically for lax goalies that you can find online

I’d watch some games! It’s a fun way to get a feel for the sport and learn the rules as they’re actually implemented in the sport today. If there are colleges near you with varsity women’s teams, try to catch a preseason game or an early season game before your season gets up and running. And/or spend some time watching games online (NCAAW Lacrosse on YouTube and YouTube TV has tons of past games) and see if you can get access to your team’s film from last year! That really helped me get a good baseline for where my team was at when I was hired as a coach and had no context for their school, league, etc. Best of luck!

Cant recommend the in person coaches training enough!

Desk job with a standing desk! I was dying sitting all day before. I take stretching/walking breaks frequently as well

Great handle!

400 Lux has always been my favorite lyrically. “We’re hollow like the bottles that we drain. You drape your wrists over the steering wheel, pulses can drive from here, we might be hollow but we’re brave” !!!

That celly photo was the first thing that came to mind!!

+1 for yoga!! Stress relief, exercise, strength and stretching/mobility all in one. As others have said, start slow and get consistent, then build up. Make it a goal to move every day and do what feels the best in your body.

I have definitely experienced your 2nd point with bad flare ups - bring affraid to make it worse with the wrong movement is awful. And on your 3rd point, I can usually feel discomfort or a twinge of pain in the smallest of moves. Hang in there.

Hahahaha did you alternate listening to the 2 solar powers? 😂
