When people publicly talk about the negative things that happen in their life, it seems to always come in the form of a big CARTOON social media announcement that elicits sympathy and “it will get better!” There shouldn’t have to be a big announcement about how we are feeling, and it’s a huge problem that there is a society wide stigma against frankly, real life. When we were younger we were taught how to be kind, which corresponds with being respectful. We’re also taught that talking about certain things or asking certain types of questions is seen as invasive or disrespectful. These two things combined lead to us not being given the tools to be able to support people properly, because subconsciously we see asking about the details of each other’s lives as uncomfortable. So let’s have open dialogue to the level that we’re comfortable with! And as a community, let’s find ways to sup- port each other besides telling them that things will be okay if they just tried a little bit harder.

In almost his first move, Guardiola opted to sign Barcelona goalkeeper Claudio Bravo to replace one of City’s fan favorites — and longest-tenured player at the time — Joe Hart. Pep made the move because Hart, a renowned shot-stopper, was markedly poor with the ball at his feet. At the time, it seemed a little unnecessary since goalies didn’t receive the ball that often at their feet, but Guardiola wanted his City side to play out of the back and retain possession, and having a keeper competent with his feet was of the utmost importance to that system. Now, after his squad has won two con- secutive Premier League titles, nearly all 20 sides play a similar passing style. In fact, it’s a trend similar to what happened with Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors in the NBA. When Steve Kerr was appointed head coach back in 2014, he took the shackles off Curry and allowed him to shoot more threes. After seeing Curry’s incredible success, all the other teams in the league have combined to increase their three-point shooting rate as well. This season in the Premier League, even the smaller, newly promoted teams have started to play an open passing style against the big clubs.
