“I wish I could have said to 2024 Shericka that it’s okay to take a break”

Didn’t realise how bad it got for @sherickajacko last year man.. She said she was close to quitting Track but her friends showed up for her. She fell back in love with Track after Jamaica Trials 🥹💜🇯🇲

This conversation between between Usher and Keke Palmer was interesting to watch. This reminds of how people critic Beyoncé’s music. They said all that needs to be said.

Recruting tip: Go to the place where you are wanted and where you will make the biggest impact, not just be another athlete on the roster!!!

[Teddy Roe 🧸 @teddyroester]

Shaunae Miller-Uibo is such a stunning sprinter. Even before she pulled up today, we saw glimpses of the flawless technique she’s been lauded for.

Whether she returns for repechage or not tomorrow, we’ve been lucky to watch her. Two 400m Olympic golds are much to smile about.

Pro tip for college athletes turning pro - Injury Prevention.

5 tips below👇🏾
1. Dynamic stretching before and static stretching after is important. Make sure to have a good warm up and cool down routines.

2. Use the correct shoes. Walk barefoot a lot that helps reduce bunions as well. I buy toe separators to help with mine. Your feet affects your whole body. Work ground up to reduces imbalance and posture problems.

3. Stay hydrated. When you’re dehydrated your body doesn’t get much electrolytes which can cause your muscles them to cramp or spasm.

4. Prioritize Recovery. See a chiropractor, physio, massage therapist regularly to help recovery. Other ways that can help speed up recovery - sauna, cold tub or contrast bath, red light therapy, hyperbaric chamber, PEMF therapy, dry needling.

5. Find a good trainer that assesses your body first and works on a program that’s specific to you. Unilateral work outs help imbalances.

6. Listen to your body. Less is more. Do not ignore pain or discomfort that may indicate an injury during practice. That last rep after feeling something might lead to an injury.

You should never ice your injuries again.

20 training tips I know at 35 that I wish I knew at 20:

1) SPEED IS KING - training speed is priority #1 with athletic development; train it & train it often (acceleration & max velocity)
