Letter: Street work

Dec 12, 2024 | tucson.com | Tom House

Just a short follow-up to the December 10 opinion piece “Why I dread repair work on Tucson’s streets.” Several months ago, Blacklidge Drive (a midtown street) was completely scraped down to the dirt and then rebuilt. Nice job was done. Currently though, Blacklidge is again being torn up in order to replace water lines. One might think that the waterline work would have preceded the street work. One might think that, but who am I to second-guess?

Letter: Economy and presidency

Oct 11, 2024 | tucson.com | Tom House |No views

Much has been said about which political party better manages the economy. Consider the following: Bush#1 - recession; Clinton - balanced budget; Bush#2 - huge recession; Obama - straightens out that mess; Trump - inherits Obama’s strong economy and then leaves it in a hole; Biden - deals with yet another Republican mess. See the pattern? Wash, rinse, repeat. Tom HouseMidtownDisclaimer: As submitted to the Arizona Daily Star. Video Player is loading.
Letter: Trump's economy

Jul 24, 2024 | tucson.com | Tom House

July 11, and another letter to ed praising Trump’s management of the economy. “The economy was humming, unemployment low for all, inflation at 1.4% … etc.” No mention of, nor credit given to, Obama first turning around the woeful economy he inherited from Bush after its destruction in 2008. Obama inherited an unemployment rate of nearly 10%, and cut it by half. Biden inherited an unemployment rate of 8% (thanks to Trump’s mismanagement of Covid), and it currently is 3.7%.

Reference Nov 17 letter to editor “Republicans find evidence implicating Joe Biden.” The writer outlines a web of financial transactions, uncovered by the Republican Oversight Committee, constituting “evidence” that President Biden benefited from a money laundering scheme initiated by Hunter Biden, which scheme resulted in a $40,000 payment to the President.
Where Does Velocity Come From?

Nov 27, 2023 | teammstrd.com | Tom House |with Lindsay Berra |Lindsay Berra

By Tom House, PhD, with Lindsay BerraIt seems every pitcher out there, no matter the age, is always chasing velocity. But, I think they should be chasing perfect pitching mechanics, or at least the most efficient pitching mechanics they can muster, because mechanical efficiency leads to increased velocity. All velocity comes from torque, which is stored energy. The vast majority of velocity – up to 80% – comes from hip and shoulder separation, which is angular torque.
How to Assess and Improve Functional Strength

Nov 1, 2023 | teammstrd.com | Tom House |with Lindsay Berra |Lindsay Berra

By Tom House, PhD, with Lindsay BerraIt’s amazing to me, that with all the science we now have on physical preparation, that there are still elite athletes who are not functionally strong. Mustard’s goal is to improve functional strength at every level of pitching by giving you a year-round training solution to build strength, improve performance and prevent injury.
Fail Fast Forward: Coach Tom House and the elite athletes of #TeamMSTRD share how important it is to learn from failure.

Nov 1, 2023 | teammstrd.com | Tom House |Lindsay Berra |with Lindsay Berra

By Tom House, PhD, with Lindsay BerraMy mom always used to say, “If it doesn’t kill you, it’s a good experience.” That’s a harsh way of saying you have to be able to learn from failure. My parents weren’t traditional sports parents. My dad was a total nerd and my mom was an Iowa farm girl who only cared about education.
