Alysa Liu’s Olympic run came with terms. Her choreographer helps her express them Liu is the best U.S. hope for an Olympic medal in women's figure skating, which would be the country's first in the competition since 2006.

"Liu wasn’t just performing in the Olympics. She was doing so as herself."

A fascinating story of freedom & joy when others collapsed in the mounting pressure of the moment.

I love the story of Patriots coach Mike Vrabel taking the job & immediately & repeatedly practicing the victory formation for a team coming off a 3-win season.

I suppose the equivalent in soccer would be to open preseason by frequently training how to kill the game.

Had a great chat with former #Crew96 & #USMNT midfielder Brian Maisonneuve.

Now the head coach at Ohio State men's soccer, he's my guest tonight on #TheCoachingAcademy

Seattle attempted 3 shots w/ no goals in 1st half of vs. Cruz Azul #LeaguesCup2025

The Sounders won the match, 7-0.

Can we get a recording of everything that happened in the Seattle changing room at halftime?

For education purposes!

Remember when it was sacrilege for a keeper to be beat at the near post?

Dion Acoff scored GW goal for @unionomaha.bsky.social in Open Cup on Richard Sanchez at the 1st post.

Sanchez anticipates back post. Watch👇

Keeper coaches invited to chime in.

11v10

Good numbers to have w/ a 2-1 lead & a 37 & 38 yr old who don't move much w/out the ball.

I spoke to #NYCFC coach Pascal Jansen about that - Miami tied the opening #MLS match in the 100th minute.

Listen👇

Next, NYCFC at LAFC

What makes Chiefs coach Andy Reid the screen master? ‘His attention to detail is the best’ In his 26 years as a head coach, Reid has been an innovator in creating successful screen plays.

I thought this was very interesting.

Andy Reid has over 100 screen passes installed in the offense for KC Chiefs.

Remembering the days when Vince Lombardi's Packers had six offensive running plays total.

The 1v1 defending that drives me absolutely batty.

Garnacho w/ hands behind back OUTSIDE of the penalty area. Less balance to defend.

Moments later, Martinelli gets off the cross & goal scored to level 1-1.
