'Have fun out there': How a simple message keeps Trey Augustine on his game

1 month ago | espn.com | Erin Vail

Have fun out there. It's a simple sentence: four words, a plain directive, a call to action that's difficult to ignore. Some elite athletes might eschew such a basic initiative, choosing to focus on winning above all else. But for Michigan State sophomore goaltender Trey Augustine, "have fun out there" goes beyond a simple message, and exemplifies something much deeper: It's the phrase his grandfather, Kenneth Augustine Sr., would repeat to Trey before each of his hockey games.

Gunnar and Boomer Esiason: How a football family found solace in hockey

Dec 24, 2024 | espn.com | Erin Vail

The average time for a shift in ice hockey is between 30 and 45 seconds. It begins when a player steps over the bench and takes the ice, charging up and down the rink at full speed. They throw their body at the puck, opponents, and the boards, giving everything they have. When the shift ends, the player returns to the bench, dripping with sweat and exhausted, chest heaving as their lungs work overtime.

Dec 18, 2023 | thepromptmag.com | Erin Vail

It’s finally December, which can only mean one thing: CHRISTMAS MUSIC ‘round the clock. Now, let me make something clear: I am not an out-of-season Christmas-music-listener.

Some have called it the “ass out” hug. TOMATO: You look gorgeous, by the way. You look so… glossy.

Summer is a glorious time for leisure. All across the land, adults and children alike are partaking in their favorite vacation-centric activities: from swimming and splashing to resting and relaxing, summer is a delightful time to recharge. And as we all know, summer is the best time of year to do some reading. Reading on the beach is one of the most blissful experiences a human can have, and it’s one of my favorite things to do… ever.
