Season 6 of SportsLifeTalk – You Got Next is all about finding the real builders of the game — the people shaping the future of women's basketball behind the scenes. The coaches, mentors, and leaders who are pouring knowledge into the next generation long before the spotlight ever finds them.One of those leaders is Sean Greene.Based in Phoenix, Arizona, Greene is the founder and driving force behind Hoop Code Basketball Academy — one of the most respected youth development programs in the region. His mission is simple but powerful: teach the game the right way while helping young athletes grow into confident leaders both on and off the court.But his journey into the game didn't start with titles or recognition. Like many coaches who truly impact the game, Greene's path was built on passion, observation, and a deep understanding of what basketball can teach young people.Through Hoop Code Basketball Academy, Greene has created a space where players can learn the true fundamentals of the game. His program focuses heavily on skill development, basketball IQ, and personal discipline — elements that often separate good players from great ones.Greene works with female athletes of all ages, helping them refine their game while building confidence and leadership skills that extend far beyond basketball. From youth camps and private training sessions to structured development programs, his academy has become a hub for serious basketball growth in Arizona.What makes Greene's approach different is that he doesn't just teach drills.He teaches the why behind the game.Players who train with him learn how to read the floor, understand spacing, and make decisions under pressure. They're taught how to compete, how to lead, and how to approach the game with discipline and accountability.In today's basketball culture — where highlights often get more attention than fundamentals — Greene's philosophy stands out.He believes development should be intentional.And that teaching the game properly at a young age creates better players and stronger people.During this episode of SportsLifeTalk – You Got Next, Greene shares his perspective on youth basketball development, the responsibility coaches have when mentoring young athletes, and why building character matters just as much as building skill.He also talks about the importance of creating opportunities for young women in the game and why programs like Hoop Code are essential for the continued growth of girls' basketball.For Greene, coaching is about more than wins and losses.It's about impact.It's about helping players understand their potential and giving them the tools to chase their dreams — whether that path leads to high school basketball, college opportunities, or simply becoming stronger leaders in their communities.And if the next wave of Arizona hoopers is any indication, that impact is already being felt.Because when development meets passion, and leadership meets opportunity, the results go far beyond the court.And coaches like Sean Greene are proving that the future of women's basketball is being built every single day — one player, one lesson, and one gym session at a time.

Youth basketball training has exploded in recent years — but not all training is actually helping players develop.In this episode of It's Just Different, Ashley Roberts sits down with player development coach Tony Hobbs to break down what real basketball development should look like and how parents can better support their athletes along the way.From the rise of private trainers to the pressure of AAU and high school basketball schedules, Tony shares why basketball IQ, live play, and real game situations matter more than flashy drills or social media highlights.If you're a parent trying to find the right trainer, a player working to improve your game, or a coach thinking about long-term athlete development, this conversation offers important perspective.- The difference between a trainer and a true player development coach- Why cone drills and isolated workouts don't always translate to games- How parents can support their child's development without overstepping- The importance of live play, film study, and real decision-making- How to keep athletes motivated and avoid burnout during high school- What to look for when choosing the right development coachIf you're navigating youth basketball training, AAU basketball, and player development, this episode is a must-listen.About the GuestTony Hobbs is a respected basketball player development coach and founder of Bridge Basketball Academy. Known for his emphasis on basketball IQ, team concepts, and game-like training environments, Tony works with athletes at every level — from beginners to professionals. His philosophy focuses on preparing players to perform in real game situations rather than relying on repetitive drills that don't translate to competition.Key Takeaways- Real player development focuses on basketball IQ and decision-making, not just skill drills.- There is a difference between a trainer and a development coach, especially when it comes to teaching game concepts.- Parents should support their athletes while trusting the development process and the coaches involved.- Training that includes live play and real defensive pressure helps skills translate to actual games.- Balancing training, school teams, and AAU schedules is key to preventing burnout and keeping athletes motivated.This episode is for families navigating:- Youth basketball training- AAU basketball- Player development- High school basketball preparation- Choosing the right trainer for young athletesResources for Basketball ParentsJoin the Basketball Parent Community:https://www.ashleynroberts.com/communityDownload the FREE Guide (Save Time, Money & Stress):https://ashleyroberts.kit.com/subscribeGet the Basketball Parent Toolkit:https://www.ashleynroberts.com/product-page/basketball-parent-toolkitShop DIFFERENT merch (Use code Podcast for 15% off):https://itsjustdifferentapparel.com

What if the secret to better teamwork isn't another strategy, framework, or offsite – but first understanding yourself? In this episode of The Future of Teamwork, Dane Groeneveld interviews Margaret Andrews, Harvard instructor, author of Manage Yourself to Lead Others: Why Great Leadership Begins with Self-Understanding, and founder of The MYLO Center, a leadership education and professional development firm. Together, they explore a simple but profound idea: before you can lead others well, you have to understand and manage yourself. Tune in to hear what separates high-performing teams from mediocre ones, what leadership attribute consistently outweighs IQ and technical skill, and how feedback can be used to build more effective teams. 

IQ versus EQ in estate and letting agency: why emotional intelligence matters. I chat with Grace Milham about how understanding people, from landlords to teams, boosts results, improves interactions, and turns good agents into great ones. Practical EQ tips included.

What skill is most critical in a world defined by constant change? Leadership coach and author Liz Tran believes it's AQ, or agility quotient. In this episode of Hello Monday, host Jessi Hempel sits down with Liz to explore why traditional measures of intelligence like IQ and even EQ may matter less in today's AI-powered, rapidly evolving workplace. Instead, Liz argues that what really predicts success is our ability to adapt, navigate uncertainty, and respond to change. Liz's new book is AQ: A New Kind of Intelligence for a World That's Always Changing. Drawing from her work with executives, founders, and professionals across industries, she explains how AQ works—and why it's a skill anyone can develop. Together, Jessi and Liz unpack how strengthening your agility quotient can help you navigate career transitions, unexpected challenges at work, and a future where skills evolve faster than ever. Liz and Jessi discuss: What AQ (agility quotient) is—and why it may matter more than IQ or EQ in the modern workplace Why AI and automation are leveling traditional intelligence advantages The four AQ archetypes—Astronaut, Novelist, Firefighter, and Neurosurgeon—and how each handles change How understanding your archetype can guide career decisions, leadership style, and personal growth How to build resilience and adaptability in a world where careers span multiple industries and roles Follow Liz Tran and Jessi Hempel on LinkedIn.  We will be launching the Hello Monday book club soon.

https://teachhoops.com/ Teaching "Shot Selection" is the most difficult tactical challenge a coach faces because it requires balancing a player's confidence with their competence. A "good shot" is not just about where the ball is on the floor; it is about the "Three C's": Context, Clock, and Capability. A wide-open three in the first quarter might be a great shot for your lead guard, but a terrible shot for your backup center. To fix a "shot selection" problem, you must first define it. Use the "Green-Yellow-Red" lighting system. Every player on your roster needs to know their "Green Light" zones (where they are statistically elite), their "Yellow Light" zones (only when open or late in the clock), and their "Red Light" zones (never). When you provide this clarity, you remove the "guessing" and the "coaching by eyebrow" that leads to player hesitation. To bridge the gap between "knowing" and "doing," you must implement "Shot Quality Analytics" into your practice. Instead of just charting "Makes and Misses," start charting "Expected Points per Possession" ($xPPP$). Show your players the data: a contested mid-range "long two" typically yields around 0.6 points per shot, while an open corner three or a rim finish yields 1.1 or higher. Use film study to show the "Shot-Quality Ripple Effect"—how a "bad shot" (a quick, contested jumper) acts as the first pass of the opponent's fast break. In the mid-season January grind, the teams that "level up" are the ones that learn to "pass up a good shot for a great shot." This "Offensive Maturity" is what separates the high-scoring teams from the high-efficiency teams. Finally, utilize "Constraint-Based Scrimmaging" to force better decisions. Run 5-on-5 sessions where "rim touches" or "ball reversals" are mandatory before a shot can be taken. If a player takes a "Red Light" shot, the other team gets the ball and a point. This makes the "cost" of a bad shot immediate and visible. Use your TeachHoops member calls to "audit" your "Offensive Freedom"—are you being too restrictive, or are you not providing enough structure? By treating shot selection as a "Team Skill" rather than an individual choice, you build a culture of "High-IQ" basketball where the players police each other's shots, leading to a massive spike in your team's overall shooting percentage and offensive flow.

In this episode, Dr. K explains the "Paradox of the Stupid Intelligent Person"—how high intelligence can circle back around and become a unique form of stupidity. He breaks down the common blind spots that cause smart people to fail and provides a roadmap for leveraging your IQ more effectively. What to expect in this episode: The Tool Mismatch: Why using abstract logic for social situations is like "milking a cow with a hammer" and how it causes your social intuition to "rust". The Mindlessness Trap: How your brain's ability to predict what happens next causes you to stop paying attention, leading to mistakes in "simple" tasks. Arguing for Error: Why being smart makes you better at defending wrong beliefs, making it much harder to admit when you are actually wrong. Misapplied Rules: A look at why successful leaders often struggle at home by applying "business rules" to their family and children. The "Thinking Disposition": A guide to fixing these blind spots by learning to collect more information and intentionally seeking out contrary opinions. Thinking Critically About Thinking: Why the smarter you are, the less likely you are to question your own logic, and how to break that cycle.HG Coaching : https://bit.ly/46bIkdo Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health: https://bit.ly/44z3SztHG Memberships : https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf Products & Services : https://bit.ly/44kz7x0 HealthyGamer.GG: https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQ Learn more about your ad choices.

https://teachhoops.com/ Coaching your best player is a delicate balancing act between empowerment and accountability. The common mistake many coaches make is "over-managing" their stars, which leads to a robotic performance, or "under-challenging" them, which leads to stagnation and a loss of team respect. To avoid this, you must establish a "Vertical Accountability" system. Your best player should be held to the highest standard in the gym—not just for their scoring, but for their "zero-talent" metrics: sprinting to the corner in transition, being the first to help a teammate up, and communicating on every defensive rotation. When your "Alpha" is your hardest worker, the "buy-in" from the rest of the roster becomes automatic. To keep a high-level player engaged during the mid-season grind, you must move from "Instruction" to "Collaboration." Give your best player a "Seat at the Table" during film sessions or scouting reports. Ask them, "What are you seeing in the ball-screen coverage?" or "Which set do you feel most comfortable running in the clutch?" This isn't about giving up your authority; it's about building their Basketball IQ and Ownership. When a player feels they helped "write the script," they are infinitely more committed to executing it. Furthermore, use "Constraint-Based" challenges in practice specifically for them—for example, they can only score using their "weak hand" or they must record three assists before they can take a shot in a scrimmage. Finally, you must master the "Art of the Public vs. Private Critique." While you should never be afraid to correct your best player in front of the team for an effort-based mistake, tactical adjustments or personal growth conversations should often happen in private "one-on-one" settings. This protects their "Social Capital" within the locker room and ensures that your relationship remains a "Safe Harbor" amidst the pressure of a season. Utilize your TeachHoops member calls to "audit" your star player's development: are they just "good for this level," or are you building the habits they need to succeed at the next level? By coaching them for their future self, you demonstrate a level of investment that breeds lifelong loyalty and championship-level performance.

In this episode, Dr. Killeen challenges the traditional view of intelligence. It is not just about IQ, speed, or memorizing information. The real measure of intelligence is whether you are using your skills and drive to intentionally design a life you actually want to live. He reflects on the quiet burnout many high achievers experience and invites you to pause and consider what you are building. Success without alignment can feel empty, and that a meaningful life does not happen by accident.

This powerful exploration of 2 Samuel 11 confronts us with one of Scripture's most sobering warnings about the danger of success and complacency. We journey through David's catastrophic fall from grace, witnessing how a man described as having an IQ of 135-145, a brilliant warrior, poet, and king who represented Christ's kindness in chapter 9, becomes unrecognizable in chapter 11. The message reveals a haunting truth: success can be far more dangerous than failure because it tempts us to shift from 'God will make me great' to 'look at all the greatness I have accomplished.' We see David's moral collapse unfold through what's called the 'lust verb progression'—walked around, saw, sent—each step taking him further from God's calling. The contrast between David on the rooftop and Uriah on the mat becomes a mirror for our own lives. Uriah, the faithful warrior, demonstrates more integrity drunk than David had sober, refusing to enjoy comfort while his brothers suffered in battle. This narrative challenges us to examine our own 'I will nots'—those boundary lines we establish to protect our souls from compromise. The devastating truth emerges that all it takes to drift spiritually is nothing—doing nothing in our marriages, parenting, or walk with God creates the conditions for moral collapse. We're reminded that sexual sin uniquely damages the soul, which is why Scripture commands us to flee rather than fight it. This isn't just ancient history; it's a contemporary warning about power, lust, objectification, and the dehumanizing impact of sin that reduces people from beloved image-bearers to objects for our consumption.Website: https://impact.church Facebook: https://facebook.com/ImpactChurchHome Instagram: https://instagram.com/ImpactChurchHome YouTube: https://youtube.com/@impactchurchhome TikTok: https://tiktokcom/@impactchurchhome

Dan Morgan knows better than anyone that the Carolina Panthers are at their best when they have a "thumper" in the middle. In this episode, we dive deep into Morgan's explicit mission to fix the linebacker room—a position that has defined this franchise from Sam Mills to Luke Kuechly.While Georgia's CJ Allen is a favorite for his elite run-stuffing and leadership, we explore the full 2026 landscape. We break down the "unicorn" athleticism of Ohio State's Sonny Styles, the downhill violence of Arvell Reese, and why Anthony Hill Jr. (Texas) might be the most versatile "chess piece" in the draft. Whether it's Allen's high-IQ play-calling or the raw range of Deontae Lawson, we analyze who has the "Keep Pounding" DNA required to lead the next era of Panthers football.

https://teachhoops.com/ In the era of "Moneyball" basketball, it is easy to get buried under a mountain of data. However, for most high school and youth coaches, "Actionable Analytics" are the only ones that matter. You don't need a Ph.D. in statistics; you need to track the four or five metrics that have the highest correlation with winning. The "Granddaddy" of these is Effective Field Goal Percentage ($eFG%$). Unlike standard field goal percentage, $eFG%$ accounts for the fact that a three-point shot is worth 50% more than a two-point shot. If your team shoots 40% from three, your $eFG%$ is 60%—the same as shooting 60% from two. By tracking this, you can objectively prove to your players why "rhythm threes" and "rim finishes" are the lifeblood of your offense. Beyond shooting, you must master the "Four Factors" of Basketball Success, originally popularized by Dean Oliver. These four metrics typically account for about 95% of the variance in winning: Shooting ($eFG%$) – The most important factor (40% weight). Turnovers (TO%) – How often you give the ball away without a shot (25% weight). Rebounding (ORB%) – How many of your own misses you recover (20% weight). Free Throws (FT Rate) – How often you get to the line and make them (15% weight). If you "win" three out of these four categories in a game, your win probability is over 80%. In the mid-season January grind, use these factors to "Diagnose the Disease." If you are losing games despite shooting well, look at your TO%. Are you "beating yourselves" before the ball even hits the rim? Finally, don't ignore the "Culture Analytics" or "Hustle Stats." These are the metrics that don't always show up in a standard box score but drive your program's "Internal Engine." Track things like "Kills" (three consecutive defensive stops), Deflections, and "Paint Touches." A "Paint Touch"—whether via post-up or dribble drive—is one of the highest predictors of offensive efficiency because it collapses the defense and creates "Long-Closeout" opportunities for your shooters. Use your TeachHoops member calls to "audit" your stat-keeping: are you tracking "fluff," or are you tracking the behaviors that lead to "The W"? By turning the "invisible" into the "visible," you create a data-driven culture of accountability.

https://teachhoops.com/ Moving players between levels—Varsity, JV, or Freshman—is one of the most politically charged aspects of coaching, yet it is essential for the long-term health of your program. The "Elevator Model" of roster management ensures that players are competing at the level that matches their current skill set and physical maturity. However, to avoid the "parent-coach friction" that often accompanies these moves, you must establish a "Fluidity Policy" during your pre-season meeting. If players and parents understand from Day One that rosters are "living documents" and that a move "down" is a developmental opportunity for more minutes, while a move "up" is a reward for consistent production, you remove the "stigma" and replace it with a "Growth Mindset." A key strategic pillar is "Developmental Priority." Often, a talented sophomore is better served playing 28 minutes at the JV level—where they are the primary ball-handler and "go-to" scorer—than playing 4 minutes of "garbage time" on Varsity. To "win" this transition, you must provide the player with a "Tactical Roadmap." Use your TeachHoops member calls to "audit" your "Swing Player" rotation. When you move a player "down," frame it as a "Leadership Assignment": "We need you to go down and anchor the JV defense so you can learn how to lead a unit." When they move "up," emphasize their "Role Clarity": "Your job on Varsity is to be our elite '3-and-D' specialist." By giving the move a specific purpose, you maintain the player's "Buy-In" and focus. Finally, you must master the "Art of the Mid-Season Evaluation." The "January Lull" is often when rosters stagnate. A great coach is always looking for the "JV Spark"—the player who has outgrown their level and is ready for the "Varsity Speed." When making these moves, utilize "Objective Data" like "Practice Points," "Defensive Deflections," and "Film Grade" to justify the decision. This removes the "perception of favoritism" and reinforces a culture of "Merit-Based Opportunity." By being the "Communicator-in-Chief" of your program's roster, you ensure that every athlete is in the "Sweet Spot" of their development, preparing your entire program to peak during the postseason.

https://teachhoops.com/ In the modern era of constant digital stimulation, a player's attention span is often their most underdeveloped skill. On the basketball court, "Focus" isn't a static state; it is a dynamic ability to filter out "noise"—the crowd, the scoreboard, the previous mistake—and zero in on the "next right thing." This is often referred to as the "Quiet Eye" phenomenon. Elite shooters and decision-makers have a measurable pause in their visual focus on a target (the rim or a teammate's chest) just before they execute a move. To build this in your program, you must move beyond generic "focus" commands and provide specific "Visual Anchors" for your athletes to lock onto during high-pressure moments. To bridge the gap between "practice focus" and "game focus," you must implement "Cognitive Load Drills." Most practices are too quiet and too predictable. To train attention, you must intentionally "clutter" the environment. Use "Distraction Drills" where coaches or teammates create noise, wave pool noodles, or shout "wrong" instructions while a player is trying to execute a specific set or shooting drill. This forces the athlete to develop an "Internal Filter." In the mid-season February grind, when mental fatigue sets in, the teams that have trained their "Focus Stamina" are the ones who can execute a "Late-Game Special" without a breakdown, regardless of the environment. Finally, you must teach your players the "Art of the Reset." Attention naturally drifts—especially after a turnover or a missed call. The difference between a "collapse" and a "recovery" is a player's "Reset Routine." This could be a physical "trigger" (like touching their jersey) or a verbal "keyword" (like "Next Play") that signals the brain to return to the present moment. Utilize your TeachHoops member calls to audit your practice "vibe": are you allowing players to linger on mistakes, or are you building a culture of "Relentless Presence"? By treating focus as a "mental muscle" that requires daily resistance training, you develop a team that is unshakeable when the lights are the brightest.

https://teachhoops.com/ The secret to an efficient practice isn't working faster; it's eliminating "dead time." Most practices lose 15–20 minutes to "coach-speak," long lines, and slow transitions between drills. To combat this, adopt the "Whistle-to-Whistle" mentality. Every segment should have a pre-determined start time and a countdown clock. Use "Transition Sprints"—where players have 7 seconds to get to their next station—to keep the heart rate elevated. By scripting your practice in 6- to 8-minute blocks, you force yourself to be concise with instruction and your players to stay mentally sharp. Remember, the goal is "Rep Density": the number of game-like touches an athlete gets per minute of practice. The second pillar of efficiency is the "Station-Based" approach to fundamentals. Instead of having 12 players standing in one line for a layup drill, break them into three groups of four at different baskets. This triples the number of repetitions each player receives in the same amount of time. During these stations, utilize "Multi-Skill Drills"—exercises that combine two or more skills, such as a close-out into a box-out, or a ball-handling move into a finishing move. When you "stack" skills, you aren't just practicing ball-handling; you are building the "functional athleticism" required to execute that handle under defensive pressure. Finally, utilize "Visual Learning" and "Pre-Practice Briefings" to save time on the court. Send your practice plan or a short 2-minute film clip of a new play to your players via group chat before they arrive at the gym. This allows you to spend your precious hardwood time "refining" rather than "installing." When players step on the floor already knowing the "what" and the "where," you can immediately jump into the "how" at game-speed. In the mid-season grind, this proactive communication is what separates the programs that plateau from the programs that peak.

Shane Regan has built one of the most impressive Division III résumés in the country across two elite programs. After starring at Wesleyan University, where he helped lead the Cardinals to a 30-2 season, a Final Four run, and earned All-American honors, Regan has continued his dominance at the University of Chicago. His impact has been immediate, earning national recognition and landing on the Bevo Francis Watch List as one of the top small-college players in the nation. At Wesleyan, Regan developed into a dynamic, do-it-all guard, eclipsing 1,000 career points while establishing himself as one of the premier players in the NESCAC. Transitioning to Chicago for his graduate season, he expanded his game even further—becoming a focal point offensively while also showcasing his playmaking and leadership. His ability to seamlessly adapt between two high-level academic and basketball programs speaks to both his skill and basketball IQ. Now, with postseason aspirations in full swing, Regan is once again at the center of a championship-caliber team. University of Chicago is putting together one of the best seasons in program history, carrying significant momentum and high expectations into the NCAA Tournament. With Regan's experience, versatility, and leadership anchoring the group, the Maroons have positioned themselves as a legitimate contender with hopes of making a deep March run.

https://teachhoops.com/ Summer basketball has transformed from an "off-season" of individual skill development into a high-octane, multi-game marathon. For many youth players, the summer circuit offers unparalleled exposure and competition. Playing against different styles and elite talent from across the country can accelerate a player's "Game Sense" and confidence. It forces athletes out of their comfort zones and provides a realistic benchmark of where they stand in the national or regional landscape. However, the "Helpful" side of the summer grind is only realized if the player is actually playing—not just traveling. A summer spent on a bench in a high-profile "shoe circuit" is often less beneficial than a summer spent in a local gym getting 500 game-speed shots up every morning. The "Harmful" impact of the modern summer circuit often manifests as "Burnout and Overuse." When the Game-to-Practice ratio reaches a tipping point—sometimes playing 6 games in a 48-hour window—fundamental execution suffers. We see the "Deterioration of Fundamentals" as players trade disciplined defensive stances and triple-threat positioning for "survival mode" mechanics. Physically, the lack of a true "Rest and Recovery" phase in the summer can lead to "Micro-Trauma" in young joints, setting the stage for more serious injuries during the winter season. As a coach, you must help your players and parents understand the Acute:Chronic Workload Ratio ($ACWR$) to ensure they aren't redlining their bodies before they even reach high school. Ultimately, the goal of summer basketball should be "Targeted Growth." Use this time to address the "leaks" identified during the school season. If a player struggled with their "weak-hand" finishing in February, their summer focus should be 70% skill-specific training and 30% competitive play. Utilize TeachHoops member calls to audit your players' summer schedules: are they chasing "Rankings," or are they chasing "Development"? By prioritizing "Rep Density" and individual skill acquisition over a trophy in a July tournament, you ensure that your athletes return in the fall as more versatile, resilient, and high-IQ basketball players who are ready to lead a championship culture.

“No great company became a great company because they saved a lot of money,” says Eric Boyd, president of Microsoft's AI platform. “They became a great company because they delivered amazing innovative experiences.” In this episode of Tech Disruptors, Boyd explains to Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Technology Analyst Anurag Rana how Azure OpenAI Service, Azure Machine Learning and Azure AI Foundry fit together. He also discusses what's required to move to broad usage from a pilot: securing enterprise data, retrieving the right context (including “IQ” tooling), evaluating prompts across models and managing costs with techniques like model routing.

Two of the best defensive players of their era, Richard Sherman and T.J. Ward, finally go head-to-head on one of the biggest questions in NFL history: Who had the best defense—the 2013 Seattle Seahawks’ Legion of Boom or the 2015 Denver Broncos’ No Fly Zone? Sherm and T.J. break it all down, position by position. From Seattle’s legendary secondary with Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor to Denver’s stacked D led by Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware, they cover turnovers, sacks, offensive support, and who really had the tougher path to the Super Bowl.It gets real as both All-Pros passionately defend their squads. Sherman argues the Legion of Boom took over the league with insane takeaways and football IQ, while Ward makes the case for the No Fly Zone’s relentless pass rush and lock-down coverage. They even dig into that unforgettable Super Bowl vs. Peyton Manning and how their defenses matched up against elite QBs like Drew Brees and Cam Newton.So, what do you think—Legion of Boom or No Fly Zone?

What if the roots of modern cults, extremist politics, and even today's “wellness” movements trace back to Nazi occultism, hypnotic manipulation, and one of the most controversial religions in the world? In this explosive episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Jon Atack — the world's leading expert on authoritarian cults and a former Scientologist who has spent over 40 years investigating its origins — reveals the shocking connections no one talks about. Drawing from his groundbreaking book If Scientology Ruled the World: Nazi Occultists, Sex Magick, Space Aliens, and the Second Coming, Jon uncovers how occult beliefs influenced the Nazi Party… and how those same ideas shaped Scientology. Jon Atack breaks down: - How L. Ron Hubbard repackaged occult practices (including hypnotic techniques, repetition, fixation, and mimicry) and sold them as revolutionary “science” - Outlandish promises that hooked followers: supernatural powers, immunity to illness, genius-level IQ, emotional mastery - How Hubbard's early interest in psychology morphed into the darker techniques behind Dianetics - Hidden factors in Hubbard's personal life (addiction, PTSD, and legal trouble for practicing medicine without a license) that shaped what Scientology would become - Allegations of how followers were treated, including psychological and physical abuse - Frightening recourse Jon himself faced for speaking out Jon also shares his deeply personal story of joining, and ultimately escaping, Scientology. He reveals the major red flags he ignored at first… and the first warning sign you should always look for before joining any movement or ideology. But this conversation goes far beyond Scientology. We also cover: - What actually defines a cult or authoritarian group - How recruitment tactics are now supercharged by the internet and social media - Where dangerous occult practices are still hiding in plain sight - Surprising benefits and dangers of hypnotherapy - How to distinguish modern spirituality from manipulative occult systems - Why today's political climate often mirrors cult dynamics - Why healthy skepticism might be the most important survival skill of the digital age This isn't about throwing away all ideology or spirituality. It's about learning how to extract the good without falling for manipulation. If you care about psychology, cults, spirituality, politics, authoritarian movements, mind control, or the hidden forces shaping modern society…this is a conversation you cannot afford to miss.

https://teachhoops.com/ Winning in the summer is not measured by your record in a July tournament; it is measured by the developmental gap you close before October. The summer months are the "Laboratory of Growth" where you have the freedom to experiment, fail, and rebuild without the immediate pressure of a conference standings table. To "win" the summer, you must shift your focus from "Outcome-Based" coaching (winning the game) to "Process-Based" coaching (winning the rep). This means using your summer league games as high-speed practice sessions. If your team struggled with "Ball-Screen Coverage" in February, your summer "win" is successfully executing that coverage 20 times in a weekend, regardless of what the scoreboard says at the final buzzer. A key pillar of summer success is "Strategic Exposure vs. Rep Density." There is a common trap in youth basketball where teams travel across the country to play five games in three days, only to spend more time in a van than in a gym. To truly "win," you must balance your "Exposure" (AAU/Tournaments) with "Acquisition" (Skill Work). Ideally, your summer should follow a 2:1 Ratio: for every hour spent playing in a game, you should spend two hours in purposeful, high-intensity skill development. Use the summer to "deconstruct" a player's shot or "re-wire" their defensive footwork. When the game-to-practice ratio is out of balance, you aren't building players; you are just "managing fatigue." Finally, winning in the summer requires "Cultural Installation." This is the time to "onboard" your incoming freshmen and establish your "Program Non-Negotiables." Use your summer sessions to build "Trust Equity" through team-building rituals and "Small-Sided Games" that foster communication. Utilize your TeachHoops member calls to "audit" your summer curriculum: are you just "playing," or are you "installing"? By the time you reach the August "Dead Period," your players should have a clear understanding of your offensive spacing and your defensive "Shell" principles. If your team enters the fall with a higher Basketball IQ and a more resilient "Work Ethic," you have already won the most important championship of the year.

Five years ago, Sarah Everard was abducted, raped and murdered by a Metropolitan Police officer. It was the catalyst for an outpouring of grief and anger about the safety of women. It also led to a number of reviews which documented a toxic culture at the Met Police and other forces, highlighting the lack of trust by women in the force. Since then, reforms have been instituted to try and rebuild confidence and eradicate misogyny. We discuss what has changed in the five years since with BBC Correspondent Sima Kotecha and Ellie Butt, Head of Policy and Public Affairs at Refuge. Barrister turned bestselling crime author and recent star of The Traitors, Harriet Tyce joins Nuala to talk about her latest novel, Witch Trial. Harriet reflects on how motherhood was the impetus for her career change, how her knowledge of the legal system inspires her work and her experience as a ‘Faithful' on the hit BBC TV series. An Oscar-nominated new documentary explores the impact school shootings in the US can have on the families that are left behind in a unique and moving way. All The Empty Rooms follows journalist Steve Hartman's seven-year project documenting the bedrooms of some of the children who've been killed. The Netflix film features Gloria Cazares and Jada Scruggs, two American mothers who each lost their nine-year-old daughters in separate incidents in 2022 and 2023. Gloria and Jada talk to Nuala about their decision to let a documentary film crew into the bedrooms they preserve just as their daughters, Hallie Scruggs and Jackie Cazares, left them, along with director Joshua Seftel. Why do women seem more reluctant to shout about their intelligence and potential genius? New Channel 4 quiz Secret Genius has highlighted a trend of women underplaying their abilities that is backed up by Mensa data. The gender breakdown of applications to the world's largest and oldest high-IQ society is around two-thirds men to one-third women. To discuss this, Nuala is joined by Dr Sonja Falck, a psychotherapist and author, and Hajar Woodland, who recently appeared as a contestant on the Channel 4 show. Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Sarah Jane Griffiths

The Oilers added big, right-shot defender Connor Murphy to shore up their defensive conscience, but when you factor in the Skinner/Kulak-for-Jarry swap and the draft capital spent, it’s fair to question whether they’ve meaningfully improved, especially with bottom-six centre still a need. On the broader D market, Tyler Myers’ no-trade indecision may be stalling movement, with names like Ristolainen, Faulk, and Parayko also in play. The Rangers’ Braden Schneider and the Blues’ Robert Thomas are drawing interest but would command massive returns, while Jordan Binnington chatter is quietly building after his Olympic performance boost. Meanwhile, Craig Berube seemed to question his team’s heart and hockey IQ and the Kings fired Jim Hiller with DJ Smith stepping in amid playoff pressure. Will teams like Boston and Pittsburgh, armed with significant draft capital, emerge as surprising deadline players? The countdown is on!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if the problem was never that you weren’t smart enough… but that you were measured by the wrong standard? On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black confronts one of the deepest identity wounds in our culture: the belief that we are “not enough.” Not intelligent enough. Not gifted enough. Not qualified enough. It’s time for a paradigm shift. Moving from the traditional IQ mindset—where intelligence is fixed, narrow, and test-based—to the MIQ reality rooted in Dr. Howard Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences. There aren’t one or two ways to be smart. There are at least eight distinct intelligences—linguistic, logical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic—and every person carries a unique combination. The question is not how smart are you? The question is how are you smart? This episode explores: The shift from fixed intelligence to developmental capacity Why standardized testing misses the uniqueness of the individual The connection between brain development and fingerprint formation How each brain lobe corresponds to distinct cognitive strengths Why identity must precede performance At the core of this message is Imago Dei—the truth that you are created in the image of God. Leadership does not begin with titles, platforms, or applause. It begins with identity. The world says: earn your worth. God says: you were created with it. Through biblical “eschatological reversal,” Scripture shows a pattern: the weak are chosen, the overlooked are elevated, ashes become beauty, and what the world calls worthless Heaven calls gold. This is not motivational hype. This is identity alignment. Einstein struggled in traditional classrooms but changed physics. Michael Jordan was cut before he became legendary. Oprah had no elite credentials but built an empire through relational intelligence. Different wiring. Same truth. More than enough. You are not defined by a score, a label, or a past failure. You are uniquely designed—with purpose in your patterns. Stand in the mirror and declare it: “I am smart enough. I know myself. I never give up.” This is a leadership episode about identity, intelligence, and unlocking the potential already wired within you. Because when you live your life like it matters… it does.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Horrific First-World COST of Third-World Migration INVASION! Andrew Branca. I often talk with all of you about the cultural cost of allowing the low-IQ, low-trust, mostly non-white, mostly non-Christian third-world to invade our high-IQ, high-trust, mostly white, mostly Christian first world societies—but we're increasingly seeing the quantification of those costs, as well. In today's show we'll break down a variety of those quantitative costs as yet another argument for why India should be for Indians, sub-Sahara Africa should be for Africans, Europe should be for Europeans, and—most important!—America should be for Americans.

https://teachhoops.com/ A TeachHoops member call is more than just a conversation; it is a strategic surgical strike on the specific challenges facing your program. Whether you are struggling with a complex 1-3-1 zone defense, navigating difficult parent dynamics, or trying to rebuild a culture of accountability, these calls provide a direct line to veteran perspectives. Instead of spending hours scouring the internet for generic advice, you get a personalized roadmap tailored to your roster's unique strengths and weaknesses. In the heart of the mid-season grind, having an objective "eye in the sky" can help you identify the tactical leaks you might be too close to see, allowing you to make winning adjustments before your next big game. Beyond the "X's and O's," these calls serve as a powerful tool for combating the isolation of leadership. As a head coach, you often feel "alone in the crowd," bearing the weight of every loss and every difficult personnel decision. Member calls provide a safe, confidential space to discuss the "soft skills" of coaching—leadership psychology, staff management, and personal well-being. By connecting with a mentor who has "been there and done that," you gain the emotional resilience needed to lead with poise. This mentorship bridges the gap between being a good tactician and becoming a transformative leader who builds a lasting legacy in their community. Finally, a member call acts as a force multiplier for your preparation. We can use the time to perform a "Practice Audit," review game film together, or script out your "Late-Game Menu" for the postseason. This level of professional development ensures that your teaching remains modern, efficient, and impactful. By leveraging the collective wisdom of the TeachHoops community, you aren't just guessing—you are executing a battle-tested blueprint for success. Whether you are a first-year coach or a thirty-year veteran, these calls provide the clarity and confidence required to push your program to its absolute ceiling.

Garret Price and Andrew Mott go full “Frankenstein mode” for Combine week, building the ultimate 2026 wide receiver by assigning one prospect to each key trait. The only rule is you can only use each player once, which forces some gamesmanship as they decide where each name has the most value. They start with Malachi Fields as the easy winner for size, the receiver who “looks like WR1 getting off the bus.” For pure long speed, both land on Brenen Thompson, the track-speed bet who could be among the fastest in the class. For yards after catch, they give the nod to Omar Cooper, emphasizing open-field playmaking and how that trait translates across offensive systems. When it comes to hands, they agree Makai Lemon brings the best mix of reliability and highlight-level catches. Route running is the one category they treat as a clear lock, selecting Jordan Tyson as the best separator and tempo-based technician in the class. Contested catch goes to Denzel Boston, largely because of strength through contact and the ability to win at the catch point with “vice grip” hands. For the tougher “vibes” category, IQ, they settle on Skyler Bell, a player they credit for constantly being in the right place, understanding scramble drill rules, and winning with savvy rather than pure athletic dominance. Pedigree goes to Carnell Tate, based on recruiting profile and the full “pipeline” context. For burst and early acceleration, they choose KC Concepcion, with a quick note that measurements and speed will be huge for how the NFL views the role. They close physicality with Chris Bell, describing a tank-built receiver who plays with real edge and contact tolerance. Start Using the Film Room Today!
