It isn’t about the perfect squat.

It isn’t about the perfect macronutrient breakdown.

It’s about sustainable lifestyle changes that allow someone to live a healthier and happier life.

FT.

Kings Arms 10-2 @Oldnovosfc

Great result in hot conditions. 4/5 lads could have picked up MoM. We continue our unbeaten streak.

@deanonbrown @McintyreScottt Hahahaha ya right. Was trying to figure it out for ages man 😂

[Matt Slater @MattSlaterpt]

@JGreenwoodNFTV The thing is with football, we are thickle. A game we have the advantage of, but not the result. Complacent? Tactical? Individual? Many things play the role, but a team wins, and loses all together.

[Matt Slater @MattSlaterpt]

One hot day doesn't make summer. Yet we are quick to criticise those who have brought joy to the region. The fans are as responsible as the owners down.

[ToonArmy @toonarmy_com]

Rate Eddie Howe's decision making today out of 10?🤔

‘Sport science runs the risk of being irrelevant to coaches,

If training research continues as it is’

A conclusion from a new international survey of coaches,

Here are the findings

(for those wanting to close the application gap)

[Official Strength Debates @StrengthDebates]

Good convo with sport coach who also runs the S&C for his baseball team.

Reminder why Plyos are NECESSARY

Plyometrics are the bridge from weight room to field of play

Testing in rehab. Top down vs bottom up.

Keep it simple 🧵

In a world full of now seemingly infinite testing and data possibilities, I try and keep it simple.

[Scott Wilson @Coach_Wilson_S]

Limit Backside Mechanics-This drill targets 🎯 this issue. Use a band - medium tension. This helps hip flexors be able to stop the backwards motion of the leg then be able to rip it forward. Best sprinters have the SHARPEST exchange-ie no lag time from going backwards-to-forward.

[STATSports @statsports]

Over the course of a full 90-min football match play, 300 acceleration and deceleration efforts are performed per half.

18% of total distance covered is completed while accelerating or decelerating (Akenhead et al., 2016).

[Matt Slater @MattSlaterpt]

@Craig__Edwards_ It's crazy how much of an effect it has

[Craig Edwards | Mortgage Officer @Craig__Edwards_]

You hear...

Fat is the problem…so people stop eating fat.

Carbs are the problem…so people stop eating carbs.

Foods that aren’t meat are the problem…so people only eat meat.

Here is the truth

Too many calories, no matter where they are from, is the problem.

[Craig Edwards | Mortgage Officer @Craig__Edwards_]

FYI…

Any calories that aren’t burned, no matter if they come from starches, protein, sugars, or fats, will end up as extra tissue in your body.

Stop blaming certain macronutrients.

Start blaming overconsumption.

[Pat Basil @pbasilstrength]

Speed Training Pro Tip

Most field sport athletes hit top speed around 30 yards and maintain it until about 40 yards

After that they decelerate

Keep you sprint reps under 40 yards

20-30 yards is the sweet spot for me
