@idkoranyth61680 @OSiiNT @MrAndyNgo @Portland_State Where can I find this info!?

[Alec Olson @Coach_Olson_]

@MrAndyNgo @Portland_State They got them out and are now but that was an hour ago. I think it’s going to get worse tonight.

[Alec Olson @Coach_Olson_]

@MrAndyNgo @Portland_State Might want to go check, they are back in there!

[Alec Olson @Coach_Olson_]

@SportsCenter @AdamSchefter Great now we will suck….

I ask, because I just watched “why you can’t get anything done” - The One Thing by Gary Keller summary on YouTube.

[Alec Olson @Coach_Olson_]

Question for all the strengh coaches out there. We are in a field of multiple disciplines. So to truly be successful or good as a coach what is the one thing to focus on? Or do we focus on one thing, master it then find something else?

One way to get better as a coach is simply do it. @akirasullivan

Excellent paper from April 2020 reviewing practical ways to enhance acceleration performance through profiling & individualization. @DylHicks @CoolHandJakeGS @PierreSamozino @jb_morin

We must stand up and show resiliency...or recover faster and be ready for the next bout? https://t.co/qJm6LRxu2w

We have abandoned the traditional approach to sport preparation, where the focus is on coaching tactics, drills & exercises that don’t necessarily benefit the ATH developmental process.

What does your warmup look like? Do you have an activity that scales up or down the amount of perceptual info & includes scanning, decision making, change of speed, feinting and deceleration skills? Here’s one example of how we conclude our pre-training.

Just listened to @LewisCaralla presentation on #coachesvscovid and wow 🤩 great stuff. I would highly recommend watching and listening! Thanks coach for sharing your insight!

State ➡️ Energy ➡️ Actions ➡️ Results

Control your state- posture, self talk, etc. you will have optimal energy

Control your actions- intent, detail, concentration, etc. the results will take care of themselves

Focus on what you can control https://t.co/LMrrYHZRz6

BREAKING NEWS: there is not a less effective exercise for an athlete than a Burpee.

Does it make you tired and give you the illusion of a good workout - yes.

Does it make you a better athlete - no.

[Tyler Germain @TrackCoachTG]

Can we retire the phrase “the grind”? Something you love should never feel like a grind. If you’re forcing yourself to do something you hate, how much better are you really getting? Either find out what you love or reframe your process into one of growth, not drudgery.

@RUGBY_STR_COACH The weightlifting analogy is gold!

[Call me Keir @RUGBY_STR_COACH]

Lot of people getting upset with me on this and saying I'm not allowed to cite an extreme example and apply to regular athletes.

I'll stop it when you stop watching elite level Olympic weightlifting and coaching kids with a broomstick on the merits of double knee bend 🤷🏼‍♂️
