High level individuals prepare.
As an athlete looking to compete at the highest level, it’s not enough to prepare for practice and games.
You build strength before you need it.
You refine skill before it’s exposed.
You fix weaknesses before they cost you.
You sharpen details before the spotlight finds them.
You prepare for the moments no one sees.
The separation is in the preparation.

I'm not sure non-academics really comprehend the magnitude of this.
You're talking about hundreds of universities losing 10's to 100's of million in budget PER YEAR.
Higher Ed's future already looked bleak. This cements it. Like it or not, the 100 yr model is likely dead.
Mark Zuckerberg just admitted that the Biden administration made them delete memes and vaccine information that turned out to be true. Let that sink in.
Now, he’s on Joe Rogan playing the victim, saying it was “brutal” and that they “went after his companies.” But here’s the thing: unlike people like me, and many others who risked everything to stand up against the narrative, Mark stayed silent.
While we fought back, lost jobs, businesses, and even relationships for speaking the truth, Zuckerberg complied like the spineless coward he is. People were censored, silenced, discriminated against, and yes, people died because of his cowardice. He could’ve stood up, but he chose his profits over principles.
Now, he wants sympathy because the narrative shifted and it’s finally safe for him to talk. Sorry, Mark, no amnesty for you. You didn’t just go along with it—you were complicit in the government’s censorship.
If he’s now admitting this crime, then he should be held accountable like anyone else. While the rest of us took the hits, Zuckerberg showed the world he had no courage to fight for truth when it mattered most.
Some of us did the real work. Some of us had the balls. Zuckerberg didn’t.
The Dynamic Strength Index (DSI) is a performance metric derived from force plate testing that quantifies the balance between maximal strength and explosive strength.
The Force Eccentric Utilization Ratio (EUR) is a metric used to assess an athlete's ability to effectively use stored elastic energy during dynamic movements, such as jumping or sprinting.
Here's a thread on how to use it:
I primarily use it for athletes training high velocity 1.3+ m/s.
Like many training tools it depends on the athlete.

Origin of Doge Day Afternoon:
The ancient Romans sacrificed a Dogecoin at the beginning of the Doge Days to appease the rage of Sirius, believing that the star was the cause of the hot, sultry weather.

In that space is our power to choose our response.
In our response lies our growth and our freedom."
