I Heart Jason Brown

U.S. Men's Silver Medalist Jason Brown is throwing out the first pitch at a Cubs game at Wrigley Field this week. And he has been practicing his fastball, based on this Instagram training "montage".

I still watch his Riverdance freeskate from 2014 Nationals on YouTube every few days. Not to get all Dick Button here, but he's just so joyful on the ice. You know he loves skating, and it doesn't make you feel awkward when he doesn't nail all the jumps. When you see a skater who looks like a deer in headlights out there on the competitive ice, you kind of want to cover your eyes....His performance is kind of like a pickmeup when I'm feeling unmotivated.

Anyway, good luck on the mound JBrown!
