@dewolfec @AcademicChatter @PhDVoice @PhD_Genie That's asking a lot.... Happy Birthday mate 🥳

The level of activity athletes do outside of training matters!

Here, sedentary time & cell phone screen time were positively associated with measures of % fat mass...

Regardless of time spent training for their sport!

Normally, Harry Kane is a fantastic penalty taker, but under extraordinary pressure also he will occasionally miss.

A penalty kick is not exclusively an individual task. Teammates can help, assist & support.

How were the England players supporting Kane in the France match? 1/

[Sian Allen @DrSianAllen]

Focus on the process & the outcome takes care of itself...

What effect do different types of goals have on performance?

➡️ Process goals = large effect (d = 1.36)

➡️ Performance goals = small effect (d = 0.44)

➡️ Outcome goals = trivial effect (d = 0.09)

NASA: we've captured an image of what outer space looked like 13 BILLION years ago.

Psychologists: we've just uncovered evidence that a 50-year-old foundational study with 8 undergrads and a single-item measure MIGHT not replicate.

@courtney_herms @PhDVoice I worked in a coffee shop and it was the best thing for my mental health. It forced me to take time away from the PhD, which essentially helped me have better time management and a more refreshed mind when I sat down to write.

[Thomas Curran @thom_curran]

For most young people nowadays, the security of a decent, affordable home and a regular wage would effect more alleviation of mental distress than any amount of time off the gram’, meds, or therapy and I think it’s time we just said it as it is.

I'm #PhDone!!! At times this journey was so exhausting and filled with self-doubt that I questioned whether or not I would ever finish.

[Dr Simon Taylor @Simon_t91]

Thank you @brainsnstyle and Paul Appleton for a thoroughly enjoyable PhD defense, definitely one of the most enjoyable part of my overall PhD experience.
