Youth hockey leagues kick off this weekend. A timely perspective from a first-round NHL pick, pro player, coach, and youth program director:

As @CocoGauff showed last night, the pressure of competition isn't a burden--it's a catalyst for growth, resilience, and perspective on the court and in life.

One year ago, CAS stripped Jordan Chiles of her Olympic medal. Her appeal to the SFT is pending, but the court cannot meaningfully review CAS decisions. Here’s why: https://t.co/Y4JYo2ooGw #AthleteRights #ReformedSports #SportsLaw

“Congratulations @KirstyCoventry! You reached the pinnacle of your sport—always with grace—and today you’ve broken new ground. A momentous day for the @Olympic movement. I’m excited to see a new era unfold under your leadership!”

CAS’s ruling in the @ChilesJordan case—and the pending appeal before the Swiss Supreme Court—have serious implications for athlete rights and the integrity of Olympic competition. This case demands attention!

In honor of @MichaelPhelps’s 23 podium experiences throughout his swimming career, he embraces the feeling of victory with @omegawatches in Paris. 🏆⌚️

22 yrs ago, I asked @MichaelPhelps what his goals were out of the pool. He said: “I want to change the sport of swimming.” When I asked him to elaborate, he told me he wanted to see swimming on SportsCenter. We’ve seen a lot of swimming on SportsCenter since then—and now, @ESPN

So, WADA accepts the unsubstantiated explanation that 23 positive tests were caused by erroneous ingestion but declines to investigate allegations to the contrary because they are unsubstantiated? How does one allege substantiated facts that meet the threshold for investigation

Good to see content project promoting LSU program recognizes athlete involvement as commercial, deserving of compensation, and requiring consent through direct arrangement w/ each individual athlete. NGBs and Oly orgs should take note. #AthleteRights #AthleteAdvisory

How does it empower athletes to commercialize their stories without involving or compensating them? How valuable is increased exposure to the athletes when others claim the right to exploit it commercially just because it “promotes the Olympic Movement?” Hard to make a compelling

To partake in OBS/Oly Channel activities @ Universal shoot, Paris hopefuls must sign add’l Release giving IOC, etc, perpetual worldwide commercial rights. Tough to make informed choice w/ agreement governed by Spanish law…. #AthleteRights #AthleteAdvisory https://t.co/ZBOe9GUMTp

Paris hopefuls: Release forms you sign en route to Games can have far-reaching impact on individual rights & commercial opps. Understand what you're releasing & waiving before signing! Learn more https://t.co/GAZXlvQ2LH #AthleteAdvisory #AthleteRights

Eager to see what you do next, Liz, but you'll be sorely missed by the many agents you've covered over the years, with your determination, humor, and curiosity. I fondly remember our first conversation 25 years ago--and the many that followed. Thx for everything and best of luck!

In an emotional moment, Rep. Jared Golden apologized for opposing an assault weapons ban, said he’ll now support one, and asked his community for forgiveness in the wake of the horrific mass shooting in Maine. #BanAssaultWeaponsNow
