I cannot tell you how meaningless it is to be good at a sport before puberty.

Do not compare. Do not care.

Just learn to love the game.

Elite athletes can hit 13.5mph - 15mph in 1sec of their sprint

We refer to this as "separation velocity"

The ability to separate from a defender & reach 63-65% velocity in just 1 second

2 examples👇

Injuries are generally the fault of these things in order;

1. THE ATHLETE AND THEIR LIFESTYLE
2. The athlete’s playing / injury history
3. The current practice volume or general fatigue
4. Technical proficiency
5. Equipment / Surface
6. Lack of tissue resiliency from training

[Tim DiFrancesco @tdathletesedge]

LeBron, Kobe, and MJ didn’t become hall of famers because of the insane exercises or crazy workouts they did.

They achieved hall of fame levels by applying insane and crazy levels of consistency to working on their body, their mind, and their craft over a period of many years.

[Joseph Guarascio @CoachJoeyG]

Things to consider when filtering through strength Twitter:
1 Do they currently coach
2 how long have they coached
3 how many people do they coach
4 do athletes go back
5 who have they worked for
Don’t mistaken theories with experience or wisdom. #armchairqb #coaching

Daily reminder: sprint more often

[Tom House 〽️ @tomhouse]

The best treat the “boring stuff” like it’s the fun stuff.

Next time you’re bored by warmups, PT, nutrition and going to sleep early, just remember that’s where the GOATs are having fun.

There is no boring part of becoming the best to them.

DEVELOPING ATHLETIC PITCHERS WITH MAXIMAL VELOCITY SPRINTING

Pitching is an explosive activity that requires the transfer of energy from the body in sequence to the arm. Each pitch is a powerful ballistic event followed by long rests comparatively… each a CNS intensive effort.

[James Smith @stressimmunity]

On psychological stress:

Nothing is, or can be, psychologically stressful unless it is interpreted that way. What does exist are events, including thoughts, yet they have no meaning until they are interpreted by the mind of the interpreter.

Interpretation is programmable

Remember it’s the purpose that decides the exercise not the exercise that decides the purpose
