I first met Josie back in 2018 at a @UKSportsInst profiling event. An approachable, self-driven, and inspiring individual, to say the least, impressions I'm sure she's also left on those whom she's crossed paths with.

Highly recommended.

It would be tough to find a bigger proponent of HRV tracking than me.

Here’s my response to “Why does someone need to track their HRV?”.

[Dylan Ooi @Dylan_OKS]

Data should inform decisions, not dictate them.

Sometimes it’s just about paying close attention, managing, and making it through.

Resting Heart Rate & HRV: A Short Case Study.

Believe it or not, surfing is physically taxing.

Here’s a snapshot of my physiological status during the past October Surf Camp.

The Result? Completion.

As you can see, I was not recovering even up till the last day on 14 Oct.

But aside from general fatigue, I made all surf sessions without illness or injury and still had a blast.

What does a successful training session look like to me?

√ Athlete check in
√ Program priorities
√ Education
√ Timing

[Dylan Ooi @Dylan_OKS]

Time spent revisiting the basics is never time wasted.

“I’m going to stop working with my nutritionist”

“Why?”

“She wants me to try a lot of different things and it’s too overwhelming. I realised after 4 weeks that I’ve not even opened the nutrition plan.”

Less is more.
A simple plan > A sophisticated one.

Only novices give 100% at everything.

[Dylan Ooi @Dylan_OKS]

I consider running to be one of the fundamental movement skills alongside squatting, hinging, lunging etc.

Humans were born to run, after all.

[Dylan Ooi @Dylan_OKS]

Coaching is an ongoing guessing game.

You’re just trying to make better guesses over time through information.

[Dylan Ooi @Dylan_OKS]

Science is not a subject, but rather, a thought process.

[Dylan Ooi @Dylan_OKS]

@HowellsDan Interesting how different cues work at different times, all w/ a limited shelf life, even when it comes to coaching yourself.

Been cycling through a few for Accel:

• Jump
• Punch
• Fling / Throw
• Rip

Sometimes you just have to fling yourself forward.
