Episode 602: The MW4 Beta Broke Us — We're Done With Call of Duty

The Dropshot - A Call of Duty Podcast

We played the Modern Warfare 4 beta this weekend — including Warzone and the new Zodiac Resurgence map — and it took about fifteen minutes to know it was over. Not "this year is mid" over. Over over. This is the episode where a podcast that ran on Call of Duty for 600+ episodes says out loud that it's done. Raz makes the case that nothing else in an FPS matters if you can't see or hear the enemy, and everything else — weapon levels, perks, pipe climbing, the spawns everyone's arguing about on X — is fixing a leaky bathtub while the house burns down. Jake breaks down why CoD only takes from him now, why the lobbies are nothing but sweat, and the exact point where min-maxing your controller, your router and your ZIP code stopped being worth it. Also in this one: the Zodiac verdict (better than Area 99, roughly Haven's Hollow), the weekend 2 nerf pass, the 60% negative Steam reviews, why Warzone was in the beta at all, and a DMZ 2 prediction we're standing behind. Then a palate cleanser — Star Wars Zero Company, permadeath, and a first playthrough Raz completely ruined — plus a brutal Tarkov week, the Tarkov roadmap, GTA 6's Netflix look, and WARDOGS. Jake wanted it to be good. Raz stopped wanting that years ago.

The Temple Comes to Samaria

The Temple Comes to Samaria Acts 8:4-25 by William Klock Remember back in Chapter 5, when Peter and John were arrested and brought before the priests and elders, and Gamaliel, one of the leading Pharisees, told his fellow council members: “Leave them alone.  If what they're doing is of human origin, it will come to ruin.  But if it's from God, you won't be able to stop them.  You might even be found to be fighting against God.”  They let Peter and John go that day, but since then they haven't been heeding Gamaliel's advice.  They stoned Stephen.  And at the end of last week's text Luke told us that Saul of Tarsus was going house to house, dragging men and women to prison and that, while the apostles remained in Jerusalem, everyone else was scattered through Jerusalem and Samaria.  And it turns out Gamaliel was right.  Neither Saul nor anyone else could stop what God was doing.  This new temple, not made with hands, not made of bricks and mortar, but instead of people, purified by the blood of Jesus and indwelt themselves by God's Spirit, this temple was going to fill the earth.  Persecution won't stop it.  Just the opposite, in fact.  Luke writes in Acts 8:4 [Page 1089 in the pew Bibles]: “Those who were scattered went all over the place announcing the word.”  These were people who knew, first hand, the transforming power of the gospel.  Many of them had been eyewitnesses to the risen Jesus.  They had seen signs and wonders, done by Jesus and then done by the apostles.  They knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that God was at work and Israel's hopes were being fulfilled.  There was no stopping them.  If they had to flee Jerusalem, so much the better.  Now the good news about Jesus would be proclaimed all over the place.  Think back to Stephen's speech before the Sanhedrin and how he'd highlighted how God works through rejection and persecution.  Joseph's brothers had sold him as a slave, but through their evil God delivered his people.  Ditto with Moses.  Pharaoh wanted all the baby boys of the Hebrews drowned, so Moses' mother put him in a basket and Providence floated him down the river right to Pharaoh's daughter.  And Jesus, the supreme example: The forces of evil and death rose up to do their worst in killing Jesus, but in doing so they played right into God's hands.  They concentrated themselves all in one place, in one great act, allowing Jesus to rise from death to conquer them.  So Saul of Tarsus, threatening the church?  God's going to use that to—to get the gospel out of Jerusalem, to all of Judaea—and even to Samaria. So Philip.  You remember Philip?  He was one of the seven in Chapter 6, whom the church chose and laid hands on to do the work that was taking the apostles away from their prayer and preaching.  Stephen was another of them.  When the church calls people and lays hands on them and commissions them to be servants of the gospel, there's no telling where that may lead.  So “Philip,” says Luke in verse 5, “went off to a town in Samaria and announced the Messiah to them.” I suspect no one would have thought—or wanted—to take the gospel to Samaria—at least not for a long time—even though Jesus had said that his church would take the gospel there.  But in the context of Acts, I think Luke wants to stress that even more than taking the gospel to Samaria, what Philip is doing is taking the temple there.  And that's pretty significant.  Samaria was the piece of land between the two Jewish territories, between Judaea in the south and Galilee in the north.  The Samaritans were the people who had lived there while the Jews were off in exile in Babylon.  We don't really know for certain the origins of the Samaritans.  They claimed—and they still claim, as they're still there to this day—that they're the descendants of what was left of the northern Israelite tribes after the nation was destroyed by the Assyrians.  The Jews claimed that the Samaritans were the people resettled in the land by the Babylonians after they'd sent the Jewish people into exile.  There's probably some truth to both.  Whatever the case, the Samaritans followed their own form of Judaism.  They had their own version of the torah, of the first five books of the Old Testament.  They rejected the Prophets and other books.  They looked forward to their own version of the Messiah.  They called him the Ta'eb or “The Returner”—the prophet Moses promised would come.  But maybe what's most important in the context of Acts, was that the Samaritans had their own temple on Mt. Gerizim.  The Jews would never let them anywhere near the temple in Jerusalem—they weren't real Jews and they had corrupted Israelite religion—but even if the Jews allowed them into the temple, the Samaritans would never go there.  As far as they were concerned, theirs was the real temple.  The Samaritans were a people utterly without God's presence. And now Philip finds his way there and carries the for real real temple to a people who didn't even know the old one.  And when God's temple arrives in Samaria, the people can't help but notice.  Verse 6: “The crowds, acting as one, clung to what Philip was saying, as they heard him and saw the signs he performed.  For unclean spirits came out of many of them, and several who were paralyzed or lame were cured.  So there was great joy in that town.” “But there was a man named Simon, who had lived in the town for some while and who practiced magic. He used to astonish the Samaritan people, giving out that he was some great personage.  Everyone, small and great alike, paid attention to him, and said, “This man is the one called ‘God's Great Power'!”  [Luke might be hinting that the people thought of Simon as maybe being the Ta'eb, the Samaritan “Messiah”.] They had been under his spell for some time, since they were amazed at the magic he could perform.  But when they believed Philip as he was announcing to them the message about God's kingdom and the name of Jesus the Messiah, they were baptized, men and women alike.  Simon too believed and was baptized, paying close attention to Philip.  When he saw signs, and great and powerful deeds, it was his turn to be astonished.” The devil was doing one thing in Judaea in a futile attempt to quash the gospel.  He was doing something else to the same end in Samaria.  He'd been doing it for a long time, leading the Samaritans away from God's torah and God's temple.  Now there's this man, Simon, who has enchanted these Samaritans with his magic.  Maybe it was just sleight of hand magic, but the way Luke, throughout Acts, contrasts magic with the power of the Holy Spirit, it seems like Simon actually did have some kind of power and if that power wasn't from God, it was coming from demonic forces of some kind.  That's just the sort of thing the devil would do to lead people astray.  But Philip, empowered by God's Spirit, it's obvious to everyone—even to Simon—his power was different and it was far superior.  Seeing it, these people believed the good news about Jesus that Philip was proclaiming.  And they did what believers do: they were baptised.  Like Israel following God through the Red Sea and into the promised land, in faith these Samaritan followed Jesus through the waters of baptism and into God's new creation. Samaritans embracing and giving their allegiance to Jesus may not seem like a big deal to us, but it was a really big deal to everyone involved.  Again, Samaritans and Jews didn't mix.  Even though Jesus had said that his disciples would take the good news to Samaria, they had no plan to go there—and probably little or no desire to.  But God had a plan to get them there, and when Philip does end up in Samaria, he doesn't let that hold him back.  It's pretty clear that these early believers thought of the gospel as something for Jews, but—hey—if gentiles came to them and wanted in, if Samaritans heard and believed, that was great.  They saw God at work in these people, even if these people weren't their evangelistic priority. And yet, something odd happens.  These Samaritans hear the gospel, see God at work, they believe, they're baptised, but there's something missing.  I suspect Philip noticed it immediately and sent word back to Jerusalem—excited on one hand, but concerned on the other.  Verse 14: “When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received God's word, they sent Peter and John to them.  When they arrived, they prayed for them, asking that they would receive the Holy Spirit, since up to that point the Spirit had come upon none of them; they had simply been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.  Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.” Like I said, something was missing.  The Spirit was clearly at work.  Faith in Jesus is a gift of the Spirit and no one comes to Jesus without the Spirit first moving in the heart.  But so far in Acts, when people believed and were baptised, they all had some kind of experience of being transformed by the Spirit  They were obviously different.  The Spirit did a work of new creation in them.  And they typically—and immediately—displayed supernatural gifts.  Some prophesied, some healed, some spoke in other languages, and so on.  Whenever we see God doing something new in the story of redemption, it's usually got miracles clustered all around it and we see this no less in the early days of the church.  Bringing Samaritans to Jesus was very much something new.  But this time the miracles didn't happen.  I expect Philip was surprised.  What was wrong?  So he sent word to Jerusalem and Peter and John decided to go see for themselves.  And, sure enough, something was missing.  These people had believed, but the Spirit—God—hadn't yet come to live in them  They were not yet part of the new temple. I don't know if Peter and John understood everything at this point.  I suspect that they just recognised that these new believers were lacking the indwelling Spirit.  It was weird and inexplicable at the time.  And so Peter and John just did the only thing that made sense: they laid their hands on these people and prayed that God would give them his Spirit.  And God did.  Luke doesn't say how it was obvious, but it was apparently obvious that the Spirit had filled the Samaritans.  And I think as time passed, Peter and John and the others started to figure out what God was doing in withholding the very thing—I should say, the very person—who fulfils God's promises to dwell with his people.  By the time Luke wrote, it all made perfect sense. You see, there was always a danger that the Samaritans would hear the gospel and believe, but that because of the divide between them and the Jews, the Samaritans would end up with a separate church of their own.  A lot of them would have been perfectly happy to have it that way and plenty of Jewish believers would no doubt be happy to have it that way.  But that would undermine the very gospel itself.  God doesn't have multiple people.  He has one.  With all our divisions in the church today, it's easy to forget this, but Jesus was clear: God has one people and one of the essentials of the gospel is that it heals the breaches, heals the divisions, heals the animosity between the people of the world.  We saw the first dramatic sign of this healing at Pentecost as the men there heard the gospel proclaimed in their own languages.  It was a dramatic reversal of the Tower of Babel episode.  And now it happens with the Samaritans.  God withholds his Spirit from them in order to get Peter and John to pray and lay hands on them and in that God makes it clear to everyone that they are all united in Jesus and the Spirit.  The apostles and the Jewish believers can't dismiss the Samaritan believers and neither can the Samaritans—with their long history of doing their own thing and having their own temple—neither can they act as if they have no need of or can be separate from the Jewish believers. We need to be careful we don't mistake Luke's point here.  We often read this passage at confirmations when the bishop lays hands on us and prays for us to be strengthened by the Holy Spirit.  But Luke wasn't thinking about confirmation.  Confirmation is a rite that developed centuries later.  Pentecostals and Charismatics use this passage to explain their experience, arguing that this passage proves that receiving the Holy Spirit is a second work of grace apart from baptism and conversion.  But that's not Luke's point either.  In fact, his point is that what happened with the Samaritans, with God withholding the Spirit, was unique—a one-off thing—that was necessary to ensure everyone knew that there is one church, one body and that our unity in diversity is one of the gospel's most powerful witnesses to God setting the human race to rights.  The whole thing that made this episode stand out was the delay in the Samaritans receiving the Holy Spirit, because the indwelling of the Spirit it not a second blessing or a second work of grace.  It's what happens when we believe and are baptised.  It's what makes us God's temple.  Jesus purifies us so that the Spirit can fill us. And then Simon the Magician. The gospel goes to a new place, but the same old problem comes up again.  In Jerusalem it was Ananias and Sapphira.  The devil crept in.  They let their love of money compromise the purity so essential to being God's temple.  They serve as a warning: Jesus purifies us so that we can be God's temple, but to remain God's temple requires continued purity.  And now the Samaritan believers their own warning about this.  Verse 18: “When Simon saw that the spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money.  “Give me this power too,” he said, “so that anyone I lay my hands on will receive the holy spirit.”  “May your silver die with you!” retorted Peter. “Did you really think that God's gift could be bought with money?  You have no part or share in this word!  Your heart is not straight before God.  So repent from this wickedness, and pray to the Lord.  Perhaps he will forgive the scheme you had in your heart.  I can see that you are still stuck in the bitter poison and chains of unrighteousness.”  “Pray to the Lord for me,” said Simon in reply, “that none of what you've said will happen to me.”  After Peter and John had finished bearing witness and speaking the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, announcing the good news to many Samaritan villages.” Simon liked the status his magic gave him.  And now he sees something really amazing, something that clearly and dramatically upstaged whatever it was that he was doing.  And Simon wanted it.  But it wasn't so much the Holy Spirit that Simon wanted.  Tricks were nice.  He'd been doing them for a long time.  But what Simon wanted was the ability to control people.  He didn't want the Holy Spirit.  He wanted what he thought Peter and John had: he wanted the ability to lay hands on people and to give them the Spirit. And in that, Simon was exposed.  It wasn't about Jesus for Simon.  It wasn't about being God's temple.  It wasn't about being purified by the cross.  It wasn't about being part of God's new creation.  Simon was still firmly part of the old.  He wanted to use and control people for his own personal gain and prestige.  His old magic had been upstaged.  No one would be impressed by it anymore.   But if he could be like Peter and John, if he could lay hands on people himself and impart the Spirit to them, well, then he's be back on top of things.  For those who read The Magician's Nephew this month, he's like Uncle Andrew, seeing a new world being miraculously born around him and new life sprouting from the ground, and all he can think of is bring bits of iron to plant so they can grow into factories and battleships to make him rich. He was blind.  He heard the gospel.  He heard the good news about Jesus.  He saw the life the Spirit in these people and he saw new creation being born.  But he wasn't interested any of it.  He just wanted to be in control.  He saw it as a way to get rich.  So he offers to buy this gift from Peter and John—as if it was theirs to sell.  As if it was their power to impart the Spirit. But Peter and John had no such power.  They didn't go around laying hands on people and giving them the Spirit any more than a modern-day Anglican bishop or Pentecostal evangelist does so.  This was a unique situation.  God gives the Spirit, not men, not preachers, not bishops, not even apostles.  This was simply a case in which it was necessary for both the Jews and the Samaritans to understand that they were one people in Jesus and the Spirit. The crazy thing is that we still see this sort of thing despite all the warnings in scripture.  There are far too many people out there, preachers—people calling themselves “apostles”—offering the Spirit or his gifts for money, as if those gifts are the work of human beings and not God.  I expect that when Simon asked Peter and John to sell him this gift—one they didn't even actually have—Peter immediately remembered Ananias and then Sapphira falling dead at his feet.  Because he knew, this false idea needed to die.  If allowed to fester, it would corrupt the church. And so he rebuked Simon—who, by God's mercy isn't struck dead on the spot.  “You're no believer, Simon.  You're still stuck in the bitter poison and chains of unrighteousness.” Luke tells us that Simon asked them to pray for him so that he wouldn't fall under God's judgement.  I have to wonder if they told him about Ananias and Sapphira and left him quaking in his boots.  Luke doesn't tell us what happened to him, whether he eventually understood and actually believed the gospel or not.  What Luke wants to stress here, what we shouldn't lose of, is that the Spirit is not under human control.  The Holy Spirit isn't magic.  Magic is the human attempt to manipulate God.  Humans have been trying to figure out ways to do that ever since our fall.  Magic treats God like a vending machine.  Push B5 to get this or push D2 to get that.  Say this spell, offer this sacrifice—follow the right formula and you can control the divine.  The so-called “Prosperity Gospel” is a modern version of this.  But you don't have to be into the Prosperity Gospel or the Word-Faith movement to be guilty of thinking you can control God.  When we bargain with God, we're doing the same thing.  We think that if we offer God this or that, we obligate him to give us something in return.  Brothers and Sisters, God's been teaching his people from the beginning that he doesn't work this way.  He's sovereign.  He sends his Spirit as a mighty rushing wind and, as Jesus said to Nicodemus, “Those who are born of that Spirit are blown along with it.”  Those who surrender themselves to Jesus and the Spirit are blown into purity, blown into holiness, blown into godliness, blown into ministry and blown into mission.  That's what Luke shows us in Acts.  Jesus purifies us, the Spirit fills, and in those acts God make us his living temple.  A temple through which he will make himself known and through which he will eventually fill the earth with his presence. In this morning's Collect we asked the Lord to teach to us to ask for the things that please him.  Brothers and Sisters, if we understand ourselves to be his temple, his working model of new creation in the midst of the old, I can hardly think of a better prayer.  It's a prayer very much like “on earth as in heaven”.  A prayer that sets aside our own agendas and ask for God to bring us into his.  I'd like to close praying that Collect again. Let your merciful ears, O Lord, be open to the prayers of your humble servants; and, that we may obtain what we ask of you, teach us to ask for those things that please you, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.  Amen.

Jackie knew it was coming. That is one of the hardest things about this kind of grief. For years, she had watched her son Sebastian struggle with mental health and addiction, and there came a point, as she puts it, where it was no longer an if but a when. She braced herself. She prepared. She thought maybe that would soften the blow. It did not. Sebastian was Jackie's firstborn, a towheaded, blue-eyed dynamo who walked at ten months old and never really stopped moving. He was curious about everything, passionate about soccer, and a national chess champion not once but twice before he decided it was no longer cool. He played D2 college soccer, loved the outdoors, and could make a room come alive. He and Jackie were so much alike that they butted heads constantly, but they always knew they loved each other. His last words to her were I love you, Mom. He died by suicide in 2017 at the age of 23. He was in a rehab program. He was supposed to be safe. Jackie says she never found herself angry at God, but she was angry at Sebastian for a long time. She clung to Jesus anyway. She went to church and hid in the front corner of the earliest service where nobody knew her, and she cried for two years. She went walking every day and listened to her Bible, unable to read it, barely retaining any of it, but letting it wash over her. She could only get through the Psalms, underlining every lament. She told people simply: I cannot see God in the midst of this, but I know He is there. Where else am I going to go? She calls those first years her season of tears. And she allowed herself to be in it. What she has built on the other side of it is remarkable. After thirteen writing classes, years of anonymous essays on Substack, and the steady encouragement of a writing coach and a grief counselor she would read her writing aloud to, Jackie has written a book. It is called Messy Mourning: Hope for Mothers Grieving the Loss of a Child by Suicide, and it is written specifically for the mothers who know this particular grief, the grief that comes wrapped in silence, the grief no one quite knows what to say about. Jackie is clear: suicide loss is different. Not harder or easier than other losses, but different. The world does not know how to respond to it. People go quiet. Well-meaning things get said that land like stones. And beneath it all, there is still an unspoken stigma that Jackie is determined to push back against with every word she writes. Her son was more than how he died. Her season of tears was not the end of her story. And no mother who has lost a child this way should have to carry it alone. Messy Mourning is available on Amazon and at JackieMBaker.com, where you can also find companion resources including a journal, a 30-day lament guide, and a playlist her daughter made in Sebastian's memory.

"There's no such thing as a weight problem — it's a weight symptom." Ben Azadi joins Robert Lufkin MD to dismantle the calorie myth and reveal the metabolic root cause underneath stubborn fat, fatigue, and disease.Ben Azadi — functional health practitioner, founder of Keto Camp, and bestselling author of "Metabolic Freedom" — unpacks metabolic flexibility, diet variation, fasting, and why staying in ketosis forever can backfire. He previews his revised book "Keto Flex" (out July 21) and shares how he lost 80 pounds and rebuilt his metabolism from the inside out.Chapters:00:00 — Introduction01:30 — Ben Azadi's 80-Pound Transformation Story03:00 — What Was Actually Broken in His Metabolism06:00 — "You Don't Have a Weight Problem, You Have a Weight Symptom"07:30 — The 3 Percenters: Why 97% Chase Symptoms08:30 — Ask the Right Question: How Do I Lower Insulin?09:30 — Diet Variation: Why Cycling In and Out of Ketosis Works Better12:00 — Feast Day vs Cheat Day: Flexing to Healthy Carbs13:30 — Warning Signs You've Stayed in Keto Too Long15:00 — Hormesis, Stress, and the Post-Menopause Caveat16:30 — Using Heart Rate Variability to Dial In Your Stressors18:00 — The Carnivore "Toxin Terminator" and Plant Compounds22:30 — Chapter 9: A Customized Keto Plan for Women25:30 — Fasting, Autophagy, and mTOR Balance28:30 — How a 48-Hour Fast Resensitizes Your Dopamine Receptors30:00 — Where People Get Fasting Wrong (Don't Forget to Feast)33:00 — Metrics That Track Real Progress (Glucose, CGM, Oura)34:30 — AI, Wearables, and the End of One-Size-Fits-All Diets37:30 — What's New in the Revised Keto Flex40:30 — Metabolic Freedom vs Keto Flex: Which Book First?42:00 — Final Message: Identify the Interference, Let the Body HealKey takeaways:Weight is a symptom, not the problem — chase the root cause (insulin, inflammation, hormones), not the number on the scale.Metabolic flexibility beats rigid dieting: cycling in and out of ketosis with feast days keeps the body adaptive.Staying in ketosis indefinitely can backfire — watch for warning signs and build in strategic carb refeeds.Hormetic stressors (fasting, cold, exercise) help — but dose them to your recovery, tracked via HRV and tools like the Oura ring.A 48-hour fast can resensitize dopamine D2 receptors and reset reward signaling.Women often need a cyclical, customized keto approach — one-size-fits-all fails.Studies & sources:Fasting and dopamine D2 receptor availability — Dunn et al., Diabetes Care 2012 — diabetesjournals.orgKetogenic diet raises glutathione (hormesis / antioxidant defense) — Napolitano et al., Metabolites 2020 — pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.govBen Azadi's revised book "Keto Flex" (bonuses) — ketoflexbook.comDr. Lufkin's book "Lies I Taught in Medical School": robertlufkinmd.com/lies⭐ Enjoying the show?

A new study found that therapeutic magnetic stimulation reduced depression-like behaviors in rats -- and altered dopamine receptor density in brain regions far beyond the area being stimulated. In this episode, R Blank explores a fascinating piece of brain science: how repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation at ten hertz frequency created network-wide changes in dopamine systems linked to mood regulation. He unpacks what this tells us about how electromagnetic fields interact with the brain's interconnected circuits -- and what it means for our broader understanding of EMF and neurological health. In This Episode What repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation is and how it works How ten hertz magnetic stimulation reduced depression-like behaviors in a rat model Why the effects spread to brain regions beyond the stimulation site -- including the dorsal striatum and prefrontal cortex Featured Study Read the full study: High-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation decreases dorsal striatum dopamine D2 receptors in a rat model of depression See all studies at shieldyourbody.com/research

Send us Fan MailA lot of families make the same travel baseball mistake every July: they chase the loudest logo, the flashiest graphics, and the team that “wins the weekend,” then wonder why their player stops improving. I'm Coach Ken Carpenter, and I'm pulling the curtain back on the trophy team versus development team debate so you can make a smarter choice for 2027.We talk about the red flags that show up fast in youth baseball and travel ball, starting with roster size. If a program carries 16 to 18 players on a summer roster, the playing time math does not work, and reps are everything for high school performance and college recruiting. I also get blunt about what happens when winning Sunday becomes the priority, especially for pitchers. Arm care, workload decisions, and a clear throwing plan matter more than any plastic trophy.Then we build a real checklist for finding a development team: a fall and winter plan that supports strength training, coaches who welcome failure as part of growth, and a schedule built around scout attended exposure tournaments instead of expensive trips with no recruiters in sight. Most important, we cover the human factor: the coach running the program. A coach with a real recruiting network and the ability to personally call D2, D3, and JUCO staffs can open doors that a generic online profile never will, especially in the transfer portal era.If you're heading into 2027 tryouts, stop chasing hype and start choosing development.

Injuries, redshirts, and getting passed over are not glitches in the system. They are the system. The athletes who last are the ones who stay, compete, and keep showing up when every excuse says walk away.Welcome to Oak Performance Radio, where we talk about what it really takes to perform at a high level. The show looks at training, preparation, and decision-making through real athletes, coaches, and experiences, on and off the field.Episode HighlightsIn today's episode, Adam Lane sits down with Division II right side Molle Hobson and outside hitter Bree Messenger to get brutally honest about college volleyball. They walk through double ACL tears, redshirting, losing a spot to a fifth year, and why they stayed instead of jumping in the transfer portal. They break down the real difference between Division I and Division II, how coaching communication and team culture decide your experience, and what recruits and parents need to be asking before they commit anywhere.Episode OutlineIntroduction and Host WelcomeBrie's Injury and College ExperienceMolle's College Experience and RedshirtingTeam Dynamics and Recruiting AdviceChallenges and Lessons LearnedAdvice for Future AthletesFinal Thoughts and Future PlansEpisode Chapters00:00 Intro00:27 Meet Molle and Bree01:49 Molly's path to St. Cloud State02:52 Bree's VC United and UCM journey04:02 Senior year ACL tear and missed freshman season06:48 Second ACL tear and rebuilding identity08:53 Finding value while injured and on the sideline11:46 What injury taught Bree about leadership17:16 Molle's redshirt year and mental battles20:32 Losing the spot to a fifth year and handling it28:45 D1 vs D2 reality and choosing the right fit40:01 How to evaluate coaches, teams, and social media55:40 Adam's message on the weight room and no regrets1:00:27 Where to follow Molle and BreeConclusionMolle and Bree show what happens when you do not get the clean, straight line you pictured. Their path has included surgeries, sitting, and hard coaching decisions, but they stayed, asked for honest feedback, and kept doing the work. The big takeaway is simple: pick an environment where you are coached as a person, stay accountable for your effort in the gym and on the court, and be willing to fight for your spot without bailing the second it gets uncomfortable.Action TakenBree returns from two ACL reconstructions, gets fully cleared, and commits to attacking a real on court season instead of letting injuries write the ending.Molle heads into her junior year ready to fight for the right side spot after sitting behind a fifth year, with clear feedback from her coach on where she stands.Both athletes commit to:Staying at programs where they are known as people, not just numbers.Owning their role, even when that role is injured, redshirted, or benched.For athletes and parents, they outline concrete steps:Ask direct questions on visits about playing time, communication, and how coaches handle injuries.Spend time stalking rosters and social media to see how the team actually lives, trains, and treats each other.Stop chasing the D1 label and chase the right fit, culture, and staff.Adam reinforces:If you skip the weight room, you are choosing to leave performance and durability on the table.Training, sleep, and taking care of your body are part of your job, not extras.CTASubscribe to Oak Performance Radio and share this with a player or parent who is in the middle of recruiting and needs a straight answer about D1 vs D2.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/oakperformancelabInstagram: @oakperformanceConnect with Molle and Bree:@breemessenger44@mollie.hobson Thank you for listening to Oak Performance Radio.

Parents, athletes, and coaches get an honest look at what actually matters if you want to play at a high level and still like who you are when you're done.Episode OutlineIntroduction and Background of Olivia HeidelOlivia's Journey to Professional VolleyballChallenges and Successes at Michigan TechTransition to IUP and UNCWPreparation for Professional Volleyball in GermanyAdvice for Young AthletesEpisode Chapters00:00 Intro & who is Olivia01:21 Deciding to play pro volleyball02:40 Finding an agent and German club05:32 Signing the contract & leaving in August08:10 Moving overseas and family reactions10:03 Club and high school years on “twos” teams12:19 Illness, COVID year, and lost recruiting time16:45 Full ride to Michigan Tech and toxic environment20:18 Entering the transfer portal and choosing IUP22:26 Winning conference and NCAA run at IUP28:01 Following coaches to UNCW and rebuilding35:00 D2 vs D1 speed, physicality, and coaching37:36 Advice to athletes on labels, fit, and leaving43:10 Adam's reflections and closingConclusionOlivia's path is not the clean highlight reel people expect. She was not the obvious star, did not get the perfect first college fit, and did not ride one school from freshman year to senior night. She put her head down, worked, made brutal decisions when things were unhealthy, and trusted that there was something better on the other side of uncomfortable moves. For athletes and parents, her story is a clear reminder that depth charts, team labels, and early recruiting wins do not decide your ceiling. How you respond, how you train, and what environments you choose matter a lot more.Action TakenPlan and record a follow-up Oak Performance Radio episode with Olivia Heidel after the Nikos episode to update her story from Germany.Olivia will listen to Nikos's Oak Performance Radio appearance to compare experiences with German volleyball.Olivia will connect with Nikos to talk through his time in Germany and swap insights on life and play overseas.CTASubscribe to Oak Performance Radio, share this with an athlete or parent who is stuck on labels, team levels, or a bad fit.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/oakperformancelabInstagram: @oakperformanceConnect with Olivia:@olivia.heidelThank you for listening to Oak Performance Radio.

A high school anatomy teacher's question and a mesmerizing first shadowing of a six-hour open-heart surgery nudged her toward medicine. She kept living fully as a type B student who played Division II basketball, learning time management the hard way: rigid schedules, constant travel, and studying through exhaustion. In this conversation, Kiki unpacks being a reapplicant after a 506 MCAT and limited volunteer hours, what she fixed the second time—earlier timing, practice questions over rereads, quick secondaries—and why she initially applied to only two schools. She explains how medical transport and later working as a pharmacy technician broadened her clinical lens. When out-of-state tuition topped $80,000, she took a hard look at Navy HPSP, did her homework beyond recruiter promises, and chose the scholarship—even after getting off a local waitlist later. Kiki shares how she reframed setbacks, how much community mattered, and what realistically concerns her about the military match: deployment and accepting “assignments.” Her closing message to premeds is clear and steady—keep doing the work, stay intentional, and trust that what's meant for you won't miss you.What You'll Learn:- How a D2 athlete built time management without sacrificing premed- What went wrong in her first cycle and how she changed it- Why she chose Navy HPSP and how she evaluated the trade-offs- Ways transport and pharmacy tech roles expand clinical exposure

New England Lacrosse Journal‘s Chasing The Goal

Kyle Devitte and Owen Hart discuss a difficult season personally and then preview the upcoming MIAA boys lacrosse playoffs, emphasizing how unusually unpredictable the year has been. They suggest parity might be influenced by more players leaving for prep/private schools and by broader talent saturation driven by youth coaching and participation (noting 208 Massachusetts varsity programs). They highlight surprise teams Winchester (16–1) and Bishop Feehan, and stress roster depth as increasingly decisive, especially across lower divisions. They review notable tight results involving St. John's Prep and identify key D2 contenders (Reading, Billerica, Mansfield, Longmeadow). Sleepers include Newton North, Needham, St. John's Shrewsbury, Weston, Foxborough and Bourne/Mashpee; favorites include Cohasset (D4), Norwell/Medfield (D3), Billerica (D2), and Lincoln-Sudbury (D1). They also pick NCAA winners: Princeton (D1), Adelphi (D2) and Tufts (D3).

Struggling to get recruited for D1 baseball? Subscribe and watch — an MLB agent with 26 years of experience answers the recruiting questions every family is asking.   You throw 87 mph. You've been to showcases. You've sent 50 emails. And still — nothing from D1 programs. Sound familiar? In this Q&A episode of The Most Valuable Agent Podcast, MLB agent Matt Hannaford breaks down exactly why the "just do more showcases" advice is failing you, what D1 coaches are actually looking for, and the honest conversations you need to have before your recruiting window closes.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ✓ Why attending more showcases won't fix your recruiting problem — and what will ✓ The one question you should be asking your coach that almost nobody asks ✓ Why 87 mph is NOT the reason D1 schools aren't calling you back ✓ How the transfer portal changed the D2-to-D1 pathway (and why that's good news) ✓ What to do when 50 emails to college coaches go unanswered   In this episode, Matt fields real questions from families navigating the college baseball recruiting process — a junior in North Carolina throwing 87 with zero D1 interest, a dad in Arizona whose son committed D2 but dreams of D1, and an Ohio family that has sent dozens of emails and attended camps with nothing to show for it. Matt pulls from 26 years as an MLB agent to deliver the kind of direct, honest recruiting advice that most travel ball coaches won't give you. He challenges the showcase-obsessed culture, explains how the transfer portal has rewritten the D2-to-D1 playbook, and walks you through the exact conversations you need to have with coaches and with your own family to figure out where you truly stand. If you're a parent trying to help your son get recruited, or a player wondering why the phone isn't ringing, this episode is the reality check you didn't know you needed.   HAVE A RECRUITING QUESTION?
