I can't be the only one following the many upsetting global events via social media concluding that this is the most poisonous and least productive way to conduct important conversations that humans have ever been a part of. I used to think the TV of the 1980s/1990s was bad,but it apparently was Demosthenes vs Cicero compared to this. IMHO this is making things worse.

This might just be the greatest sports highlight of all time

Discipline takes you places motivation can’t

Motivation is fleeting

Want to be great day in & day out? Be disciplined in your routines & what you need to do to succeed

The days you’re motivated are a bonus

Bring on 2023, found the pub in Singapore… Happy New Year!

If you want to become a better, skilled athlete work on skill work, with skill coaches.

if you want to become a better athlete and get the most out of your skill work, put the stick/ball/etc.. down and work on athleticism/s&c with a strength coach.

It really can be that simple.

@SahilBloom Spot on, happy Saturday time to shut my phone off. Thanks @SahilBloom

Failure of Prioritization

The failure to prioritize is the greatest driver of busyness.

Two categories:

• Failure to identify the 2-3 things that really matter means we busy ourselves with everything.

• Spending too much time on the urgent draws us away from the important.

Obsessive Optimization

Optimization culture told you that unless you are making the most of every second of every day, you're missing out on growth.

When we constantly seek to optimize, we fill our time with movement—that may be completely devoid of progress.

How some coaches teach tackling and think it translates to games:

[Gerry DeFilippo @Challenger_ST]

“My kid is only 12 so I want to wait until they strength train.”

“Only Bodyweight exercises right? I don’t want to stunt their growth.”

Still people/parents who buy into the outdated myths about youth resistance training

Here’s a video you can save & use anytime you need to!

Imagine how much faster athletes would be as a whole if every gasser or jog at practice was turned into a max speed sprint with ample rest

@Challenger_ST Had to steal…. Love the content and insights 👊

“YEA… Oh fuck” should be the official slogan of playoff hockey 😂

About how long do doctors say it takes to fall asleep after witnessing an OT winner in the Stanley Cup Final?

[Edward O'Connor @EdwardOconn]

Pretty cool listening to Mark Lambert of the @TBLightning educate strength coaches in the middle of a playoff run.

Quote of the night from Nathan MacKinnon on #Avs' 6-0 road record: "We have five guys connected offensively and defensively and you don't got to please anybody. We're here to hopefully make it boring and gross and just play a good two-way game. There's no show to put on ..."

@43_Kadri 🧢 🧢 🧢 helluva game!

Simple morning routine everybody should follow:

This is a huge reason why we need to change how we approach youth athlete development in hockey. A lot of hip and groin issues begin during adolescence but only present later on in their careers. Skating is stressful on the hips, particularly those that aren’t fully developed
