https://teachhoops.com/ Episode Title: Are Your Players Shooting More… or Becoming Better Shooters? Every coach says it in May: “Get in the gym and shoot.” But when November hits, many players did shoot… they just didn't improve at the shots that win games. This episode breaks down how to turn summer shooting from “empty calories” into real, transferable improvement. Most summer shooting fails because it isn't real enough. Games don't give perfect reps. Games give tired legs, closeouts, decisions, a clock, and pressure. So your workouts have to include those same conditions. 1) Track MAKES, not attempts “I got up 500 shots” doesn't matter. The better question: “How many did you MAKE?” Set standards like: 100 game-speed makes, not “shoot for an hour.” 2) Shoot in game buckets Build a shot menu that matches real basketball: Catch and shoot One-dribble pull-up Finish at the rim Free throws (especially under fatigue) 3) Add decisions to every rep Shooters aren't just shooters—they're decision-makers. Simple read system: Short closeout: shoot Hard closeout: one-dribble pull-up Help steps up: make the pass Even solo workouts can include reads (sprint-to-ball, shot fake, relocate, etc.). 4) Finish with fatigue + pressure If workouts end when players feel good, it won't hold up in games. Finish with a rule: Make 10 free throws in a row Make 3 in a row from the corner before leaving Make 2 in a row after a hard sprint No passer = no game speed (rebounding and strolling back isn't real) No footwork standard (every rep looks different) No randomness (same spot, same rhythm, same comfort) Fix with partner talk-throughs or timed shooting + mandatory relocation. Form shooting: make 10 in a row Catch and shoot: 5 spots, make 5 each One-dribble pull-ups: elbows, make 5 each direction Finishing: make 8 with a rule (two-foot, outside hand, contact) Free throws: make 10, miss = must make 2 in a row to finish Use it to create competition and clarity (not shame): 4 shot buckets weekly makes goals Friday “pressure close” (FT ladder, streak drill, 1-minute challenge) Confidence isn't jacking bad shots. Confidence is taking the right shot on purpose: feet set balance in your spot off a pass, not off a dance If you get this right in May, your players won't say, “I've been shooting.” They'll say, “Coach… I've been making.” Offseason plans, shooting workouts, competitive shooting games, and open gym templates:https://teachhoops.com/ Show NotesEpisode SummaryBig IdeaThe 4 Upgrades That Make Shooting TranslateCommon Summer Shooting Mistakes (and Fixes)A Simple 15-Minute Shooting RoutineProgram Builder: Team Shooting ChartGreen Light Rules (Confidence with Purpose)Coach TakeawayLinks / Resources Learn more about your ad choices.

Absinthe, a pale green drink consisting of mostly alcohol and small amounts of wormwood oil, has only recently been legalized in much of the western world after a nearly century long ban. Everyone knows the myths about absinthe - that it causes hallucinations, that it'll make you go crazy. They banned it for a reason after all right? It's powerful, dangerous stuff which, in many ways, makes it all the more alluring to the masses. But what if I told you that thujone, the psychoactive chemical found in wormwood, doesn't cause hallucinations at all? That the degeneration and "poisoning of the population" blamed entirely on absinthe at the turn of the 20th century was much likely to have been caused by the near 70% alcohol it contained? So why was absinthe really banned? Who turned the "green fairy" into the "green demon?" Let's fix that. Support the show!

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1337: GM looks to capitalize on Ford's pickup shortage, Tesla hits a major FSD milestone (without the autonomy leap), and Home Depot takes on the messy world of big-and-bulky delivery.Show Notes with links:GM is looking to stock up where it counts—full-size pickups—after missing early-year demand. With Ford still recovering from supply issues, GM sees a prime opportunity to gain ground in the most profitable segment on the lot.GM ended Q1 with 9% fewer pickups on dealer lots, citing factory downtime and strong prior sales.The plan: boost inventory over the next few quarters while staying cautious on overall demand.Ford's F-150 supply is down over 40% after a supplier fire, creating a short-term opening.Ram could also benefit, with stronger inventory and fewer production constraints.“GM should pick up a lot of share in Q2,” said Morningstar analyst David Whiston.Tesla just crossed 10 billion miles on its Full Self-Driving system—a milestone Elon Musk once tied to achieving unsupervised autonomy. But despite the headline, drivers still need to keep their hands on the wheel… and eyes on everything.Musk previously suggested that milestone could unlock “safe unsupervised” driving.The reality check is that FSD remains a Level 2 system requiring constant driver attention.Liability still sits with the driver—not Tesla—unlike fully autonomous competitors like Waymo.The gap between milestone and reality highlights ongoing questions around autonomy timelines.Home Depot is tackling one of retail's toughest challenges: delivering big, bulky items faster—and with visibility. While small packages have gotten slick, lumber and concrete are a different beast entirely.Home Depot is rolling out real-time tracking for large deliveries, targeting a long-standing “blind spot.”Over 55% of SKUs now qualify for same- or next-day delivery, tripling since 2022.The company is investing in specialized distribution centers for bulky goods like lumber and concrete.Most big-item deliveries (about 90%) are still handled by third-party logistics providers.“The final-mile bulky goods delivery network is… the most complex,” said NHDA's William Lecos.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Put down the hospital cafeteria coffee because today I am diving into a "barbaric" problem in American hospitals that I can't believe I haven't addressed yet: ED Boarding. I'm talking to you like a med student in the trenches to explain why patients are stacking up in hallways for days and why it's not because we've run out of beds, but because the incentives of hospital administration and insurance companies are fundamentally broken. Later, we're tackling the new Netflix documentary Caterpillar about eye color change surgery. I'll break down the "laser-guided" sales pitch for keratopigmentation and why injecting ink into your clear cornea is an ethical nightmare that can lead to permanent inflammation, infections, and "unnatural" results. We wrap up with a terrifying masquerade syndrome: a cancer that looks exactly like a common stye until it starts making your eyelashes fall out. Takeaways: The Boarding Crisis: Why hospitals "concentrate the unhappy" in the ER to keep their inpatient satisfaction scores high elsewhere. The Profit Filter: How the aging Medicare population is treated as a "non-profitable" nuisance compared to high-margin outpatient surgeries. Iris Implants vs. Tattoos: The mechanical reason silicone discs are failing and why "eye tattoos" are actually just a layer of ink trapped in your cornea. The "Spontaneous" Color Myth: Why you should be wary of any surgeon claiming they can "naturally" change your eye color. The Masquerade Cancer: How Sebaceous Cell Carcinoma fools doctors for years by pretending to be a run-of-the-mill eyelid bump.

Great Pacific Gold CEO Greg McCunn joins MSD's Ian Wagner to discuss new drilling at the Kavasuki target within the Wild Dog project in Papua New Guinea. McCunn explains how Kavasuki may represent a third high-grade shoot along the broader Wild Dog structural corridor, with drilling showing broad near-surface mineralization and a low-grade halo around higher-grade veining. The company is now testing below a fault with hole seven, while planning step-outs and weighing a broader 18-month drill strategy backed by roughly C$26 million in treasury.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1336: Chinese automakers quietly prep a Canadian invasion, dealers ramp up ad spend amid tariff uncertainty, and even the Cozy Coupe gets an EV twistShow Notes with links:Chinese automakers are laying the groundwork to enter Canada, with hiring, vehicle sightings, and dealer conversations signaling real momentum. With a new 49K EV import quota opening this year, brands like BYD, Geely, and Chery are positioning early for market entry.Geely's Zeekr brand is already hiring senior leadership in Toronto, signaling active plans for sales, service, and dealer network development.Chery is testing vehicles in Toronto and courting Canadian dealers, even flying some to the Beijing Auto Show to build early relationships.BYD is moving fastest on retail, aiming to open as many as 20 stores this year through local partnerships.Despite the activity, no official quota allocations have been issued yet, and sales likely won't begin until late this year.Rising tariffs and shifting inventory levels are putting dealer marketing back in the spotlight. As uncertainty creeps into pricing and supply, dealers are leaning harder into advertising to guide consumers.Dealers spent $9.22B on advertising last year, up 4% and nearing pre-pandemic levels as the market stabilizes.Digital dominates, capturing 73% of ad budgets, with third-party listings, search, and social leading the chargeDealers spent an average of $705 per new vehicle sold on advertising, still well above pre-pandemic levels despite a slight year-over-year dip.Third-party listing sites alone captured over 20% of total ad spend, making them the single largest channel in dealer marketing budgets.“The future of the U.S. auto industry is murky… effects are difficult to quantify,” said NADA Chief Economist Patrick Manzi.Even the toy aisle isn't immune to the EV transition. Little Tikes is giving its iconic Cozy Coupe a plug-in twist, introducing a playful charging station that mirrors the real-world shift from gas pumps to electrons.Little Tikes launched a $33 “Cozy E-Charging Station” accessory for its classic Cozy Coupe, aimed at kids ages 18 months to 5 years.The plug fits right into the existing fuel door, signaling how seamlessly EVs are replacing gas—even in pretend play.The Cozy Coupe itself still runs Flintstones-style, powered by kids' feet—not batteries.The toy has sold up to 500,000 units annually at its peak, making it one of the most recognizable “vehicles” in America.At $65 for the car, it may be the cheapest “EV” on the market, even if range is limited to the living room.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1335: Inventory tightens as hybrids fly off lots, Hertz leans into retail with an eBay storefront, and Delta redraws the snack map—cutting service on shorter flights while upgrading longer ones.Show Notes with links:New-vehicle inventory tightened heading into May, with hybrid demand doing its best “hot ticket on the lot” impression. Catalyst IQ says overall supply dipped month over month, while hybrids and EVs hit record demand and supplies of those models shrank.U.S. light-vehicle inventory fell to 2.85 million, down 2.7% from April but still up 1.2% year over year.Industrywide days' supply dropped to 76 days, down from 80 in April.Hybrids are moving fastest, averaging 59 days on lots, compared with 75 for gas vehicles and 114 for EVs.Small and midsize sedans remain tightest by segment, while half-ton pickups have thinned, partly due to F-150 shortages tied to the Novelis fire.Toyota Motor North America's reported days' supply stayed flat month over month.Hertz Car Sales is doubling down on retail, expanding its reach with a new digital storefront on eBay as it shifts away from wholesale channels. The move puts its near-new inventory in front of millions of online shoppers.Hertz Car Sales launched an eBay storefront with 8,000+ certified vehicles available nationwide.The initiative is part of its strategy to make retail its primary sales channel, rather than wholesale.Vehicles are typically one year old or newer, priced below new, and sourced from its rental fleet.The company continues building an omnichannel approach across its site, Amazon Autos, and Rent2Buy.“It gives us access to millions of in-market shoppers… and supports a scalable retail model,” said EVP Chris Berg.Delta is trimming its onboard snack game, tightening service on shorter flights while boosting it on longer ones. Starting May 19, the airline will shift to a distance-based approach that could mean fewer Biscoff cookies—or more, depending on your route.Complimentary snacks and drinks will only be served on flights over 350 miles for Main and Comfort passengers.Over 450 shorter flights (under 349 miles) will lose current express service offerings.Some mid-range flights actually get an upgrade, moving from limited to full service.Delta says the change is about creating a “more consistent experience” across its network.First-class service remains unchanged across all flight lengths.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Dragon Quest has had 11 mainline games, tons of spinoffs and ports galore. It's a franchise known for ushering in the foundation of the Japanese Role Playing Game, or the JRPG. Originating on the Famicom in the mid 1980s, the game saw not one but FOUR games release on Nintendo's first console. In this episode, we've decided to focus on the first three, known as the Erdrick Trilogy. With good friends and patrons of the show on board, Ryan and Cam, we were in good hands as Mike and Justin know very little. Now we're blessed by two pros joining us to share their knowledge and music choices in this classic trilogy of games.

Congress Adds $1B for Trump's Ballroom! What About the Deficit!?! Secret Service Shoots Gunman Near Wash Monument. Steve Kerr for Governor of California? RIP John Sterling—The Golden Pipes. Trump told Congress the war in Iran was terminated. Days later, U.S. forces are still being attacked, gas is averaging $4.48 a gallon, the trade deficit just hit $60.3 billion, and Senate Republicans quietly slipped $1 billion for a White House ballroom into an immigration bill. In episode 513 of Independent Americans, Paul Rieckhoff delivers a quick-blast solo briefing on the gap between what Trump says and what's actually happening on the ground — from the so-called Iran ceasefire, to a forever war now spanning eight countries, to a Secret Service shootout at the Washington Monument that barely registered as news. From there, it's a quick turn to the politics and the people who could actually break the rigged two-party stranglehold. He breaks down California's crowded, deeply unpopular gubernatorial field and floats a serious idea: Steve Kerr — Hall of Fame coach, voice of reason on guns, Iran, and ICE — running as an independent. And we pour one out for legendary Yankees announcer John Sterling.

I'm feeling a bit reflective this week as we head into Mother's Day, a holiday that used to be a real bummer for us. It turns out that having a cardiac arrest the day after Mother's Day imprints some pretty weird sensory triggers, like the specific way a tree buds or the smell of spring air. Joining Kristin and I to talk about motherhood, medicine, and the messy "long view" of family life is Dr. Rebecca N. Thompson. Dr. Thompson is a family physician who took the concept of a memoir and turned it into a massive, 10-year collaborative project called Held Together. She didn't just write her own story; she captured the voices of 21 other women to explore how families are sustained through pregnancy loss, rare diseases, and the general chaos of raising kids. We also dive into the "all-you-can-eat buffet" of compassion and why grief shouldn't be treated like a contest. Becca shares the "painfully poetic" story of how she became "20 minutes pregnant" right as she started a surprise second residency, which she only got because another intern saw the hospital on a hill and decided to bail. It's a fiercely optimistic conversation about finding meaning in the "in-between moments" of life. Takeaways: Why Dr. Thompson believes Public Health and Preventive Medicine should be at the very bottom of Will's "specialty respect ladder". The concept of a "shared memoir" and why hearing the first-person perspective of 21 different women is more powerful than a standard anthology. The "Spaceship" hospital in Oregon that allegedly scared a resident so badly they turned their car around and quit on the spot. Why Will and Becca agree that "compassion is not a pie" and there is plenty of room for everyone's grief at the table. How Becca managed to write a full-length book over 10 years by utilizing 20-minute chunks of time in car pickup lines. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1334: Dealers face workforce cuts as Group 1 trims costs, Ford's secret EV project reveals how it plans to hit a $30K price point, and Harley-Davidson shifts back to entry-level bikes to drive volume, boost dealer profits, and reconnect with new riders.Group 1 Automotive has reduced its U.S. workforce by nearly 700 employees in April as leadership responded to a slower retail market and leaned further into technology to improve efficiency.Executives said the company cut about 5% of its U.S. workforce across dealerships and corporate roles to reduce costs.CFO Daniel McHenry said the cuts will save about $35 million annually, while vendor reductions add another $15 million in savings.CEO Daryl Kenningham said leadership reviewed “costs by store and market and business unit” and assigned new staffing targets accordingly.Leadership said the company protected service technicians and retained roles tied to training, development, and retention initiatives.Kenningham: “We feel like we have enough technology overlay that's going to compensate for those lower productivity salespeople that we might have separated with,”We've talked about Ford's low-cost EV project before, but now we're getting a clearer look at how they plan to actually make money on a $30K electric truck.A Wall Street Journal article is detailing how the Ford program led by Silicon valley engineers is focused on stripping costs out of EVs.Ford insiders said the “techie outsiders” and legacy engineers initially struggled with “misunderstandings and distrust,” as fast-moving, risk-tolerant Silicon Valley approaches clashed with Ford's more cautious, process-heavy culture.The development team cut parts, simplified wiring, and redesigned assembly using large castings and modular builds to reduce labor and complexity.Engineering lead Alan Clarke said, “We can look at it as, ‘The Chinese are really far ahead and it's really scary that they're coming.' But, get off your ass and do something about it.”Harley-Davidson is pivoting hard toward affordability, bringing back the Sportster and launching lower-cost models as it tries to reverse years of declining sales and reconnect with a broader rider base.Harley leadership is returning to entry-level bikes after years focused on high-priced touring models that boosted margins but hurt unit sales.CEO Artie Starrs said the revived Sportster will start around $10,000, while a new Sprint model is expected near $6,000 to drive volume.The strategy aims to grow dealer profitability, with plans to double profits this year and quadruple them by 2029.Harley is also pushing more showroom traffic by requiring online merchandise purchases to be picked up at dealerships.CEO Artie Starrs said, “Our riders want it, which means our dealers want it, which is why we're so passionatJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

There may be more than one reason your practice feels harder than it should.And no — it's probably not because you need better marketing, a new niche, or another certification.In this conversation (from my appearance as a guest on The Practice of Therapy with Gordon Brewer), we stepped back and looked at the whole picture — what it actually takes to build a practice that works.Not just one piece of it. All of it.Because the truth is, there's no single fix.There are seven key areas that every successful practice has to navigate — and most clinicians are either skipping critical steps or trying to fix things out of order.This is a faster-paced conversation than what you usually hear from me — but it's packed with the big ideas that shape everything else.If your practice feels scattered, stalled, or just heavier than it should…this is a powerful place to reset.WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODEWhy your purpose has to come first (and what happens when it doesn't).How to identify the people you actually want to serve (not just who shows up).What it means to create an offer that truly works — beyond the therapy hour.How to promote your practice without feeling salesy or scattered.And the one pillar that truly drives all the rest (and can sabotage everything if ignored)This episode gives you a clean, big-picture framework to assess what's actually working in your practice — and what's not — so you can stop guessing and start making intentional changes that create real momentum.And the cool part? When you're operating at a healthy place in all or most of these, your practice becomes something you genuinely enjoy showing up to — for the long haul.Precisely what I want for you.

In this lively episode of The Balancing Act Podcast, Jamie Wanko and Joe Vitale welcome back tech-in-education expert Merve Lapus for a timely “tech reset” conversation that feels equal parts honest, hopeful, and real-life relatable. Together, they unpack how the post-pandemic rush to integrate technology in classrooms didn't always come with the training or intention needed to make it truly effective—and why it's time to rethink when tech actually adds value versus when it just adds noise. Merve brings a refreshingly balanced perspective, pushing back on the idea that technology is either all good or all bad, and instead encourages a thoughtful, “scalpel-not-sledgehammer” approach—especially when it comes to student well-being and social media. The conversation also dives into the very real pressures parents feel, with Merve sharing his own experiences navigating his kids' digital lives and emphasizing the power of open, judgment-free communication. From gaps in everyday life skills to the growing divide between kids and adults in understanding AI, this episode keeps things grounded while looking ahead, reminding listeners that the goal isn't to fear technology—but to raise humans who know how to use it wisely, creatively, and with confidence.

In life, we become what we consistently consume. The content we take in whether from social media, movies, music, or TV gradually shapes the way we think, feel, and interpret the world around us.For example, if someone regularly scrolls through social media filled with posts promoting distrust in relationships or extreme views about the opposite sex, it can slowly influence how we perceive our own spouse even our their real-life relationship is healthy and strong.In the same way, if a person repeatedly consumes content that objectifies others, it can distort how they view relationships and intimacy, potentially impacting how they treat their spouse.The bottom line is simple: what we consume influences who we become or how we view our spouse and marriage. That's why it's important to be intentional about the media we allow into our minds.This idea is also supported by research. A study published in the Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology found that individuals who spend more than 30 minutes a day on social media report higher levels of depression and anxiety.In this episode, Nick and Amy discuss the importance of being mindful about what we consume, and how choosing healthier, more positive influences can lead to a more fulfilling life and stronger relationships, whether in marriage or in preparation for one.
