David De Gea pinpoints the two moments that defined his Man United career
David De Gea has pinpointed the two moments that have defined his Manchester United career so far - including one which a current teammate is still p****d off about.
The Spaniard is coming towards the end of his seventh season in the Old Trafford goalmouth having established himself as arguably the best goalkeeper on the planet.
He moved to the Theatre of Dreams from Atletico Madrid and continues to be linked with a move back to the Spanish capital with Real - but boss Jose Mourinho insists he is staying put.
Looking back on his time with United so far, De Gea points towards two moments in particular that proved to be turning points.
In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, he spoke about a trip to Chelsea in his debut season, where boss Sir Alex Ferguson was under pressure to select youngster Ben Amos in his place.
De Gea produced an extraordinary save in stoppage time from Juan Mata in the 3-3 draw, enhancing his reputation, and leaving his current teammate still annoyed.
It might have been the defining moment of my United career, De Gea said. From there it got better and better. Juan is still p****d off..
The other moment came after an impressive display at Tottenham in his second season, when De Gea was criticised by Gary Neville for a small error, despite making a hatful of brilliant saves.
Neville was right about the error, De Gea added. It was snowing and I misjudged a cross..

Photonic Chips Will Change Computing Forever... If We Can Get Them Right - Duration: 3:44.
The electrons shuffling around inside our computers move pretty fast, theoretically
their top speed in silicon is up to 100,000 meters per second.
Which is good because the faster they can move, the faster chips can do calculations,
the faster I can refresh twitter.
But there will always be something faster.
Light.
Why don't we use photons in computers instead of electrons?
We already use photons for communication; fiber optic cables are what keep the globe's
computers interconnected as they hurtle data around at light speed.
But when it comes time to process that data, we convert light to electrons and run them
through transistors.
The conversion uses energy and electrons are comparatively slow, so researchers are exploring
how to build light based transistors instead.
Transistors are the fundamental building block of your computer's central processing unit.
They're basically nanoscale switches that will either stop current or let it flow.
It's important that a transistor's output can act as the input for the next transistor.
Actually it has to be able to send the current on to at least two transistors for logic signals
to propagate, and it has to preserve that signal quality to keep errors to a minimum.
We have made optical switches, but for one reason or another they don't work as a replacement
for the silicon transistors we use in electronics, like because the output signal is a different
wavelength than the input, making controlling the next switch in line difficult.
Or the design for the switch is too big, in the micron scale instead of the nanoscale,
so gains in speed come at the expense of size.
Or the design requires a cloud of supercooled atoms, which isn't exactly practical.
Even though scientists have been trying since the 60s, an optical transistor that can replace
an electrical one has never materialized.
So instead of using our current approach to computing and substituting light in for electrons,
we might have to try something entirely different.
Like trying to build a photonic chip that mimics how a human brain performs calculations.
Scientists at MIT have built a chip that uses beams of light sent through channels of silicon
to mimic a neural network.
The beams split and combine and travel at different speeds as the silicon is heated
and cooled.
Brighter beams represent bigger numbers, and as these beams split, combine, and interfere
with each other, their brightness changes, effectively performing several small multiplication
problems lightning fast.
They've applied this photonic chip to train a neural network to understand vowel sounds
and have had modest success.
They think they can improve their results dramatically by making a purpose built system,
instead of the jury-rigged proof of concept they tested.
But given how optical computing has historically failed to live up to expectations, skeptics
aren't holding their breath.
Before we see an all light chip, we'll probably see hybrid optoelectronic systems that take
advantage of light's ability to transmit data quickly across large distances.
But until transistors reach their lower size limit and can't improve any more, it looks
like we'll be relying on slow old electrons to do the mathematical heavy lifting.
We haven't found our way to the future of computing -- yet -- so make sure you're
ready when we finally get there, by starting your very own website with Domain dot com.
Domain dot com is awesome, affordable, reliable, and has all the tools you need to build a
new website.
They can fulfill all your website needs.
They offer dot com and dot net domain names, and intuitive website builders.
They have over three hundred domain extensions to fit your needs, from dot ninja to dot dog,
to dot love!
Take that first step in creating an identity online and visit domain dot com.
Why would transistors have a lower size limit?
Blame quantum weirdness.
Trace explains why we might one day ditch silicon here.Fun fact: there's a disagreement
whether light based computers or quantum computers are the future, but thanks to the nature of
light it's possible future computers could be both!Thanks for watching

Tennis vs Softball with Vasek Pospisil & Haylie McCleney | Sports Swap - Duration: 11:33.
(SPORTS SWAP)
My name is Vasek Pospisil,
tennis player from Vancouver, Canada.
The challenge of problem solving,
it can be very demanding,
but also very rewarding.
My two Olympic experiences
were some of the highlights of my career.
I'm Haylie McCleney, softball player with Team USA.
Softball is all about momentum, team chemistry and skill.
And to get that gold medal at World Championships
was a really big deal for USA softball.
Here we go!
- Yeah! - Oh!
No! I can't even reach it.
(SPORTS SWAP)
(TENNIS SOFTBALL)
(SOFTBALL TENNIS)
- Hey! - Hey, how are you?
Hey, nice to meet you, I'm Vasek.
Nice to meet you, I'm Haylie.
I don't want to interrupt your intense warm-up here, but...
No, it's OK. It's good, you're welcome.
But, yeah, we'll be swapping sports for the day, so...
- Yeah. I'm excited. - Yeah, me too.
You ever played softball before?
Never! I've never held a baseball bat
- or anything like that. - Cool.
- So super nervous, but, yeah. - Awesome. You'll be fine.
I won't hurt you, I won't hit you or anything.
- OK. - We should be OK.
- Haylie, what are you doing? - What's up?
I got lost. Sorry.
- We're playing tennis! - I don't...
- This is all the gear I have! - You're gonna try...
You're going to try and return my serve with a baseball?
- Yeah! I'm doing it... - A baseball bat?
I'm doing it with the bat. I'm doing it with the helmet.
- All right, well, good luck! - I'm doing it!
15-love.
All right, here we go!
A little bit faster than I'm used to.
Touched it!
All you can ask for is good contact!
So I think that's a win for me.
(THE INITIATION)
First off, you're gonna need a bat.
- Yeah, OK. - Obviously, if you wanna hit.
OK. So there's plenty of different options
I brought for you.
So the main thing that you wanna be worried about
- is the size. - Mm-hm.
How long the barrel is, and how light or heavy it is.
Most people think of softball and baseball
- as like the same thing. - Mm-hm.
But they're really a lot different.
So softball is gonna be obviously
- a different colour ball. - Yeah.
But the size is what really gets a lot of people.
It's a way bigger circumference.
So bat and a ball and we'll get you going.
All right, so I'm going to show you
how to hit balls off the tee,
and then we're going to see how you do
off of some live pitching.
The biggest thing, be as smooth as you can.
And hit the ball a long way. No big deal.
This is literally like the first time
I've ever tried to hit a ball.
- So... - OK. Let's see.
- Let's just see. - OK.
- There's the sun right there. - You're gonna be fine.
You're gonna be fine. All right, you ready?
Yes. Give me one practice swing.
- OK, yeah, go for it. - OK.
- Yeah, looks good! - OK, OK.
- Looks all right, here we go. - All right, here we go.
- Oh! - Yeah! Swing and a miss.
There goes the bat!
Oh!
OK, there we go.
Nice!
- Ahhh! - Oh!
Oh, that's not too bad.
Sounds good.
How did it feel? What did you think?
Uh, I don't really know what to think.
I feel like I made some good contact,
but I don't really know what I'm doing, so...
You... I didn't think you looked all that bad.
- It didn't look bad? - It looked really tennis-y!
- It looked tennis-y! - You know what I mean?
Like a lot of wrist action?
It looked like a really good backhand.
Yeah. Yeah, I didn't feel...
I didn't feel like I was playing softball.
So we're gonna dive right into it.
- OK. - You're gonna start
- returning my serves. - OK.
How... How fast are, like, softball pitches usually?
They're coming in usually around 65, 70mph.
On a good day, I might be serving
- around 130mph. - OK.
- So I'll try to hit 135. - OK. I'm gonna try not to die!
- All right. - OK. Sounds good!
- Let's do it. Good. - Let's do it!
Oh, dear.
Do I go on this side?
I am really nervous right now.
Is this a good stance? I don't really know what I'm doing.
- Oh, yeah! Good contact! - I touched it!
Ah! I couldn't even reach it.
Hello! I can't.
I can't even get there.
That was scary. I couldn't even...
I couldn't even see the ball.
Honestly, it's... That's a tough one to dive into.
- It's bad! - On day one, like,
I think first we have to cover the basics,
- like forehand, backhand. - OK.
Before you go into, like, returning a pro's first serve.
- OK. OK. Can we do that, then? - So...so let's do that.
I need some basic ground work!
Let's go over the basics first.
(THE BASICS)
The way you grip the bat's really, really important.
You always want to line up your door-knocking knuckles.
- OK. - A lot of people get here,
and that's when we have a lot of wrist problems,
- like you were having earlier. - Ahh!
So if you line up...
If you line up your door-knocking knuckles,
- when you make contact... - I see.
..you should be palm up here and palm down here.
Your front elbow is never really supposed to lock out.
- Oh, OK. - So this should always
- stay bent. - OK.
And I just load here. Boom!
You wanna stay on your back leg...
- Yeah. - ..as much as you can,
because that's gonna give you a ton of lift on the ball
when you're transferring all your energy.
Right. So it's...
There, boom! I like that.
When you're getting ready for...for the ball,
- to come your way... - Uh-huh.
..you wanna be, you know,
facing pretty much, like, up front,
and then as soon as you see the ball go to either side,
you know if it's gonna be forehand or backhand,
so then you just turn your body as if you were gonna swing...
- I gotcha. - ..a baseball.
Having to switch directions
and not knowing which side the ball is going to go to
is completely different from softball, where, like,
I know the ball is gonna come on this side of me
and I'm ready for it.
- Nice! - Yeah!
Oh, that's... that's a little high, that's gonna be tough.
Oh, good footwork, though!
I like it, I like it!
The backhand is a little hard.
That was a true softball swing! So you wanna give it some spin.
- That's good, that's good! - I love that!
Your forehand is money!
She's doing really well.
She's hitting from the ground, I'm very impressed.
To be honest, she's controlling the ball
better than... than I would expect.
So softball! Ahh!
For somebody who's playing for the first time,
usually you see balls flying all over the place
and lack of control, controlling the power,
but she...she's doing a really good job.
I would like to think that it's because of her softball skills.
- No! - I had to do it!
It's not fair!
All right, door-knocking knuckles.
Is this about the right...? I think this is about right.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, that was good.
- Whoops! - Yeah.
That's still probably a double.
Double is me getting, like, to the second base?
Yeah... Yeah, double would be going to second base.
If you're big time, you get a home run.
I hit a home run? Ooh.
All right, here we go with a home run.
Oh, that's not a home run! But you know what?
- I'd be out with that one. - You'd probably be out.
Whatever... whatever is gonna get me that home run!
If it's... If it's Happy Gilmore,
- it's Happy Gilmore! - Do it!
I think you hit it farther not Happy Gilmore!
Yeah, for sure!
All right, we're gonna jump right in
to another really tough part for a beginner,
and that's to actually hit a serve,
- not receive but to hit one. - OK.
So it looks something like this.
OK.
- All right, your turn. - That's all I get?
- That's all you get. - OK, hit it in the box.
Good speed, but we're gonna need a little bit of work.
One thing I noticed was your grip was wrong on the serve.
How did you hold it before?
It was like right here at the bottom.
- Yeah, yeah. So that's like... - Yeah.
That was more like the forehand grip.
So you want to hold it like that.
You were pretty, like, frontal.
You wanna have a really good shoulder turn,
so when you toss the ball,
you actually kind of want your back of your shoulder
- to be facing the court... - OK.
..so you can get the rotation to go through.
OK. That sounds good, let's try it out.
Let's try it.
- There you go! Look at that! - That was in! Look at that!
- Improvements already! - Ahh!
- Huge! - I'm so happy right now.
That's actually really good.
You're right, the more you turn back this way,
- the way... - Yeah.
I feel, like, way more powerful coming through.
That one felt really good.
(THE CHALLENGE)
Gave you some tips, you've had a little bit of time
to get comfortable,
had a lot of, like, time to practise,
so hopefully let's see if you can improve.
(3 PITCHES
(TO HIT AS MANY AS POSSIBLE)
If I get two of these, it will be an improvement.
- All right. Let's do this. - Let's do this.
- All right. - All right.
Ohh!
That's not much of an improvement!
- You're good. - But it's OK, it's OK.
- You're adjusting. - I can still get the next two.
Here we go!
- Aah! - That's not bad!
- That felt good! - OK.
Your swing looks a lot more compact, too.
- That felt good. - It was nice.
All right, I gotta get this one here.
That's a double! That's a double! Go, go!
That's what I'm talking about!
- Go, go, go! - Aah!
That was seriously your best hit, though, that was awesome.
Thank you, coach.
- That was a lot of fun. - Yeah, That was good.
Vasek really improved,
he made some adjustments in his mechanics,
and the ball ended up coming off his bat a lot harder
and his swing looked a lot more smooth,
a lot more comfortable the later on in the pitches
that we got, so I'm very, very impressed.
Haylie, she gave me some good tips,
and I felt like I was making
some good contact with the ball.
So, yeah, it was a good lesson for me and, uh maybe...
I don't think I'll be changing careers, though.
(3 ATTEMPTS
(TO SERVE SUCCESSFULLY)
All right, first ball, let's see what you've got.
All right, let's do it.
Your spin was there.
- That's good. - Yeah, the spin's there.
- Oh! - Great power, though.
- That was great power. - That was good power.
I feel... I feel, like, really good.
Take your time.
- Yeah! - Ohhh!
That was probably the best serve I think I've had all day.
Yeah, that was the best one.
(YES, BUT STILL OUT!)
Um, so we'll see if you can do any better returning my serves.
- All right. - I'm gonna serve four at you.
- OK, I can't wait. - All right.
- Let's see if I can do it. - Yeah!
(4 ATTEMPTS
(TO CONNECT WITH A PRO SERVE)
Yeah! Nice!
No!
Too on top of that one!
I'm hitting it, though.
Wow, that was really impressive.
- Thanks! - What an improvement!
I feel like I got a lot better.
- Yeah, you got a lot better. - I made contact, out of four,
- I think I touched three! - Yeah, you got...
Three out of the four, yeah.
To be in there...
No!
..trying to return 130mph serves,
obviously it was difficult, but after the pointers I got,
and after getting used to, you know,
what a tennis ball looks like coming at me,
and once I got a little bit of the hand-eye coordination down,
it was awesome.
I mean, he gets aces on, you know, pro tennis players
so I think it was cool that I,
you know, actually hit three out of four.
- Good job. - High-five. Thanks.
Pretty impressive to see,
especially since it was the first time
that she held a tennis racket and played,
so I was... I was pretty impressed.
I wasn't expecting her to do so well, full stop, all around.
(SHOWBOATING)
Four, five, six...
Ahh!
Ohh!
Yeah!
We've had our fun swapping sports,
now we're gonna do a little experiment, a competition,
and see, I guess, which one of us can hit
- our, uh, balls the furthest. - Our balls.
- I guess on three, two, one... - Yeah.
No!
Tennis ball wins. It's rolling, though.
- It's gonna keep rolling. Wow! - All the way to the fence.
- Check that out. - That's a good effort.
- That's a good strike! - That was pretty good.
- Softball's the winner! - There we go. Look at that.

Virginity. (Purity Comes From The Soul, Not From The Seal). - Duration: 7:41.
- the guy's family is coming home.
- to
- yes, I have talked to him many a times.
-yes, on facebook.
-yes, I liked him. That's why I gave my marriage
consent to mumma and masi.
- ok, bye bye. Boy's family has come. Mummy is calling.
- so, finally we are meeting yaar. Shall I say one thing ?
- after watching you, it doesn't look like it's your age of getting married.
- means ?
- I mean you look quite younger. may be 20 years old. by the way, thankyou.
- Welcome
- So, it's good na that I look younger.
- yes
- by the way, how is your job going on ?
- till now it's good. And how about you ?
- mine is too good man. first class. Earning is too good.
- I mean, I get whatever I want.
- I can say anything to boss.
- shit man. why did he text me ?
- what happened ? Anything serious ?
- no. A friend is asking for movie.
- oo ..!! movie .. !! great..!!
- which kind of movies do you like ?
- Romantic and you ?
- Me too romantic.
- but excessive emotional shits, you know I can't tolerate.
- okay. Favorite hero ?
-king of romance.
- let me guess. SRK ?
- right. by the way, your IQ level is too good.
- by the way, let me tell you one thing.
- I am literally a very big fan of Shahrukh Khan.
- I was about to ask you this.
- So, why didn't you ask ?
- because even without asking, many things can be told.
- listen, I am a punjabi. I tell everything even without being asked.
- yes if second person is also interested, then only.
- I like to listen.
- okay
- By the way....
- Actually I wanted to ask you something.
- If you, If you really don't mind.
- yes, ask.
- actually, I wanted to ask it on fb.
- then I thought that when we are meeting.
- So, as we are meeting. So, I thought to talk to you face to face.
- you know na when a boy and a girl stays for a lifetime. So, I was thinking to clear few things with you.
- so........
- I really wanna ask that
- even before me you had any relationship?
- yes, I was in relationship for like four years.
- what ? 4 years ? yes.
- even mobile phones does not work till 4 years but your relationship did.
- yes, why ? haven't you fell in love ever ?
- yes, i have been in love.
- but 4 years of relationship ? Right ?
- means, you may not be a virgin !
- what ? typical man you are.
- are you virgin ? NO. Right ?
- then am I supposed to ask you the same question ?
-so what happened ? it was not in that sense of asking.
- I mean like why are you getting angry ?
- tell me one thing.
- If I will be virgin only then you will marry me ?
- Obviously yes. come on.
- It was nice meeting you.
- but let me tell you one thing.
- if I had sex with someone whom I loved once,
that doesn't mean that I can't be pure to someone else.
-that doesn't mean that I am characterless. Got it ?
- so you came.
- brother, the situation was as such. what should I tell you ?
- that's why I called you early from the office.
- leave office's tension. that I will see. will you give me my half day's compensation ?
- you can take the money man. you can. Don't talk like a miser in front of me. you can take the money.
- now tell what happened ?
- didn't I tell you ?
that today I had to go to Sarika's house to meet her parents ?
-yes
- I went there only.
- how did they let you enter their house ?
- now you speak. I will keep quite. No, you speak first.
- ok ok. but sometimes. I feel that you yourself are a joke.
- now listen to me.
A salary of 1 lac gets credited in my account.
there is not even a single girl in India who can reject me.
- oh 1 lac look at your face first.
your face is not even worth 100rs and you are talking
now tell what happened there ?
- no you speak first.
- now tell what happened there ?
- I went to meet her with my family.
they asked for tea and other stuffs. the girl was beautiful.
everything was going first class. genuine.
-then ?
- what should I say ? then we talked.
while talking many things get revealed.
then i got to know, she had a relationship of 4 years.
leave this man. small thing it is.
she is not a virgin.
- so ?
- she is not a virgin bro.
- which foolish person has said that a girl is pure only if she is virgin ?
i mean virginity is not any level to measure or decide the purity of a girl.
- man this is our problem.
it doesn't matter what we do, but we want the girl to be virgin.
this is wrong. Isn't it ?
I mean, If she had sex with someone
it does not mean that she is easily available for sex.
or she is characterless.
- you met her, you talked to her.
- she told you everything at your first meeting only.
whatever, whatever her past is. I mean
if she loved someone previously
and had sex, that doesn't mean she can't love anyone else again.
- how did you find the girl ?
- i found her really nice.
- that's it
- talk to her. convince her.
- if I had sex with some whom I loved, that doesn't mean.
that i can't be pure to someone else
that doesn't mean that I am characterless. got it ?
- where are you lost ? do something.
- 1 second man. wait.
-hello
mom
mom listen to me, ask sarika's parents to meet.
i want to meet her as soon as possible.
yes
please
that's like a man,

Tennis vs Softball with Vasek Pospisil & Haylie McCleney | Sports Swap - Duration: 11:33.
(SPORTS SWAP)
My name is Vasek Pospisil,
tennis player from Vancouver, Canada.
The challenge of problem solving,
it can be very demanding,
but also very rewarding.
My two Olympic experiences
were some of the highlights of my career.
I'm Haylie McCleney, softball player with Team USA.
Softball is all about momentum, team chemistry and skill.
And to get that gold medal at World Championships
was a really big deal for USA softball.
Here we go!
- Yeah! - Oh!
No! I can't even reach it.
(SPORTS SWAP)
(TENNIS SOFTBALL)
(SOFTBALL TENNIS)
- Hey! - Hey, how are you?
Hey, nice to meet you, I'm Vasek.
Nice to meet you, I'm Haylie.
I don't want to interrupt your intense warm-up here, but...
No, it's OK. It's good, you're welcome.
But, yeah, we'll be swapping sports for the day, so...
- Yeah. I'm excited. - Yeah, me too.
You ever played softball before?
Never! I've never held a baseball bat
- or anything like that. - Cool.
- So super nervous, but, yeah. - Awesome. You'll be fine.
I won't hurt you, I won't hit you or anything.
- OK. - We should be OK.
- Haylie, what are you doing? - What's up?
I got lost. Sorry.
- We're playing tennis! - I don't...
- This is all the gear I have! - You're gonna try...
You're going to try and return my serve with a baseball?
- Yeah! I'm doing it... - A baseball bat?
I'm doing it with the bat. I'm doing it with the helmet.
- All right, well, good luck! - I'm doing it!
15-love.
All right, here we go!
A little bit faster than I'm used to.
Touched it!
All you can ask for is good contact!
So I think that's a win for me.
(THE INITIATION)
First off, you're gonna need a bat.
- Yeah, OK. - Obviously, if you wanna hit.
OK. So there's plenty of different options
I brought for you.
So the main thing that you wanna be worried about
- is the size. - Mm-hm.
How long the barrel is, and how light or heavy it is.
Most people think of softball and baseball
- as like the same thing. - Mm-hm.
But they're really a lot different.
So softball is gonna be obviously
- a different colour ball. - Yeah.
But the size is what really gets a lot of people.
It's a way bigger circumference.
So bat and a ball and we'll get you going.
All right, so I'm going to show you
how to hit balls off the tee,
and then we're going to see how you do
off of some live pitching.
The biggest thing, be as smooth as you can.
And hit the ball a long way. No big deal.
This is literally like the first time
I've ever tried to hit a ball.
- So... - OK. Let's see.
- Let's just see. - OK.
- There's the sun right there. - You're gonna be fine.
You're gonna be fine. All right, you ready?
Yes. Give me one practice swing.
- OK, yeah, go for it. - OK.
- Yeah, looks good! - OK, OK.
- Looks all right, here we go. - All right, here we go.
- Oh! - Yeah! Swing and a miss.
There goes the bat!
Oh!
OK, there we go.
Nice!
- Ahhh! - Oh!
Oh, that's not too bad.
Sounds good.
How did it feel? What did you think?
Uh, I don't really know what to think.
I feel like I made some good contact,
but I don't really know what I'm doing, so...
You... I didn't think you looked all that bad.
- It didn't look bad? - It looked really tennis-y!
- It looked tennis-y! - You know what I mean?
Like a lot of wrist action?
It looked like a really good backhand.
Yeah. Yeah, I didn't feel...
I didn't feel like I was playing softball.
So we're gonna dive right into it.
- OK. - You're gonna start
- returning my serves. - OK.
How... How fast are, like, softball pitches usually?
They're coming in usually around 65, 70mph.
On a good day, I might be serving
- around 130mph. - OK.
- So I'll try to hit 135. - OK. I'm gonna try not to die!
- All right. - OK. Sounds good!
- Let's do it. Good. - Let's do it!
Oh, dear.
Do I go on this side?
I am really nervous right now.
Is this a good stance? I don't really know what I'm doing.
- Oh, yeah! Good contact! - I touched it!
Ah! I couldn't even reach it.
Hello! I can't.
I can't even get there.
That was scary. I couldn't even...
I couldn't even see the ball.
Honestly, it's... That's a tough one to dive into.
- It's bad! - On day one, like,
I think first we have to cover the basics,
- like forehand, backhand. - OK.
Before you go into, like, returning a pro's first serve.
- OK. OK. Can we do that, then? - So...so let's do that.
I need some basic ground work!
Let's go over the basics first.
(THE BASICS)
The way you grip the bat's really, really important.
You always want to line up your door-knocking knuckles.
- OK. - A lot of people get here,
and that's when we have a lot of wrist problems,
- like you were having earlier. - Ahh!
So if you line up...
If you line up your door-knocking knuckles,
- when you make contact... - I see.
..you should be palm up here and palm down here.
Your front elbow is never really supposed to lock out.
- Oh, OK. - So this should always
- stay bent. - OK.
And I just load here. Boom!
You wanna stay on your back leg...
- Yeah. - ..as much as you can,
because that's gonna give you a ton of lift on the ball
when you're transferring all your energy.
Right. So it's...
There, boom! I like that.
When you're getting ready for...for the ball,
- to come your way... - Uh-huh.
..you wanna be, you know,
facing pretty much, like, up front,
and then as soon as you see the ball go to either side,
you know if it's gonna be forehand or backhand,
so then you just turn your body as if you were gonna swing...
- I gotcha. - ..a baseball.
Having to switch directions
and not knowing which side the ball is going to go to
is completely different from softball, where, like,
I know the ball is gonna come on this side of me
and I'm ready for it.
- Nice! - Yeah!
Oh, that's... that's a little high, that's gonna be tough.
Oh, good footwork, though!
I like it, I like it!
The backhand is a little hard.
That was a true softball swing! So you wanna give it some spin.
- That's good, that's good! - I love that!
Your forehand is money!
She's doing really well.
She's hitting from the ground, I'm very impressed.
To be honest, she's controlling the ball
better than... than I would expect.
So softball! Ahh!
For somebody who's playing for the first time,
usually you see balls flying all over the place
and lack of control, controlling the power,
but she...she's doing a really good job.
I would like to think that it's because of her softball skills.
- No! - I had to do it!
It's not fair!
All right, door-knocking knuckles.
Is this about the right...? I think this is about right.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, that was good.
- Whoops! - Yeah.
That's still probably a double.
Double is me getting, like, to the second base?
Yeah... Yeah, double would be going to second base.
If you're big time, you get a home run.
I hit a home run? Ooh.
All right, here we go with a home run.
Oh, that's not a home run! But you know what?
- I'd be out with that one. - You'd probably be out.
Whatever... whatever is gonna get me that home run!
If it's... If it's Happy Gilmore,
- it's Happy Gilmore! - Do it!
I think you hit it farther not Happy Gilmore!
Yeah, for sure!
All right, we're gonna jump right in
to another really tough part for a beginner,
and that's to actually hit a serve,
- not receive but to hit one. - OK.
So it looks something like this.
OK.
- All right, your turn. - That's all I get?
- That's all you get. - OK, hit it in the box.
Good speed, but we're gonna need a little bit of work.
One thing I noticed was your grip was wrong on the serve.
How did you hold it before?
It was like right here at the bottom.
- Yeah, yeah. So that's like... - Yeah.
That was more like the forehand grip.
So you want to hold it like that.
You were pretty, like, frontal.
You wanna have a really good shoulder turn,
so when you toss the ball,
you actually kind of want your back of your shoulder
- to be facing the court... - OK.
..so you can get the rotation to go through.
OK. That sounds good, let's try it out.
Let's try it.
- There you go! Look at that! - That was in! Look at that!
- Improvements already! - Ahh!
- Huge! - I'm so happy right now.
That's actually really good.
You're right, the more you turn back this way,
- the way... - Yeah.
I feel, like, way more powerful coming through.
That one felt really good.
(THE CHALLENGE)
Gave you some tips, you've had a little bit of time
to get comfortable,
had a lot of, like, time to practise,
so hopefully let's see if you can improve.
(3 PITCHES
(TO HIT AS MANY AS POSSIBLE)
If I get two of these, it will be an improvement.
- All right. Let's do this. - Let's do this.
- All right. - All right.
Ohh!
That's not much of an improvement!
- You're good. - But it's OK, it's OK.
- You're adjusting. - I can still get the next two.
Here we go!
- Aah! - That's not bad!
- That felt good! - OK.
Your swing looks a lot more compact, too.
- That felt good. - It was nice.
All right, I gotta get this one here.
That's a double! That's a double! Go, go!
That's what I'm talking about!
- Go, go, go! - Aah!
That was seriously your best hit, though, that was awesome.
Thank you, coach.
- That was a lot of fun. - Yeah, That was good.
Vasek really improved,
he made some adjustments in his mechanics,
and the ball ended up coming off his bat a lot harder
and his swing looked a lot more smooth,
a lot more comfortable the later on in the pitches
that we got, so I'm very, very impressed.
Haylie, she gave me some good tips,
and I felt like I was making
some good contact with the ball.
So, yeah, it was a good lesson for me and, uh maybe...
I don't think I'll be changing careers, though.
(3 ATTEMPTS
(TO SERVE SUCCESSFULLY)
All right, first ball, let's see what you've got.
All right, let's do it.
Your spin was there.
- That's good. - Yeah, the spin's there.
- Oh! - Great power, though.
- That was great power. - That was good power.
I feel... I feel, like, really good.
Take your time.
- Yeah! - Ohhh!
That was probably the best serve I think I've had all day.
Yeah, that was the best one.
(YES, BUT STILL OUT!)
Um, so we'll see if you can do any better returning my serves.
- All right. - I'm gonna serve four at you.
- OK, I can't wait. - All right.
- Let's see if I can do it. - Yeah!
(4 ATTEMPTS
(TO CONNECT WITH A PRO SERVE)
Yeah! Nice!
No!
Too on top of that one!
I'm hitting it, though.
Wow, that was really impressive.
- Thanks! - What an improvement!
I feel like I got a lot better.
- Yeah, you got a lot better. - I made contact, out of four,
- I think I touched three! - Yeah, you got...
Three out of the four, yeah.
To be in there...
No!
..trying to return 130mph serves,
obviously it was difficult, but after the pointers I got,
and after getting used to, you know,
what a tennis ball looks like coming at me,
and once I got a little bit of the hand-eye coordination down,
it was awesome.
I mean, he gets aces on, you know, pro tennis players
so I think it was cool that I,
you know, actually hit three out of four.
- Good job. - High-five. Thanks.
Pretty impressive to see,
especially since it was the first time
that she held a tennis racket and played,
so I was... I was pretty impressed.
I wasn't expecting her to do so well, full stop, all around.
(SHOWBOATING)
Four, five, six...
Ahh!
Ohh!
Yeah!
We've had our fun swapping sports,
now we're gonna do a little experiment, a competition,
and see, I guess, which one of us can hit
- our, uh, balls the furthest. - Our balls.
- I guess on three, two, one... - Yeah.
No!
Tennis ball wins. It's rolling, though.
- It's gonna keep rolling. Wow! - All the way to the fence.
- Check that out. - That's a good effort.
- That's a good strike! - That was pretty good.
- Softball's the winner! - There we go. Look at that.

David De Gea pinpoints the two moments that defined his Man United career - Duration: 1:32.
David De Gea pinpoints the two moments that defined his Man United career
David De Gea has pinpointed the two moments that have defined his Manchester United career so far - including one which a current teammate is still p****d off about.
The Spaniard is coming towards the end of his seventh season in the Old Trafford goalmouth having established himself as arguably the best goalkeeper on the planet.
He moved to the Theatre of Dreams from Atletico Madrid and continues to be linked with a move back to the Spanish capital with Real - but boss Jose Mourinho insists he is staying put.
Looking back on his time with United so far, De Gea points towards two moments in particular that proved to be turning points.
In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, he spoke about a trip to Chelsea in his debut season, where boss Sir Alex Ferguson was under pressure to select youngster Ben Amos in his place.
De Gea produced an extraordinary save in stoppage time from Juan Mata in the 3-3 draw, enhancing his reputation, and leaving his current teammate still annoyed.
It might have been the defining moment of my United career, De Gea said. From there it got better and better. Juan is still p****d off..
The other moment came after an impressive display at Tottenham in his second season, when De Gea was criticised by Gary Neville for a small error, despite making a hatful of brilliant saves.
Neville was right about the error, De Gea added. It was snowing and I misjudged a cross..
