[Brad Stulberg @BStulberg]

More is not always better. Sometimes it is just more. Living amidst infinite possibilities always has a dark side: anxiety and a sense of never being, or having, enough. One powerful solution is constraints. They have certainly helped me. https://t.co/kQjiDoiB62

In case you didn’t know,I’m currently cycling the distance between myself and my mentee in honour of raising money for the @trueathleteproj I am only £400 away from being able to give a scholarship for a future talented athlete! https://t.co/zydFffONBx

Too little free time burns us out.

But too *much* free time bores us out.

So, chill this weekend -- but also do things that are active, productive, and meaningful.

@dr_jump_uk It's just sets and reps, simples.

[Terry Cooper @TerryCooper72]

@RhysCarr86 The attributes you mention are these more instinctive/intuitive and more inherent than coached? Has the focus on coaching 'being able to out of the back', meant there are less/visibly less of those sticking their head amongst the boots?

“Are you hardcore enough to do the little things? Because those little things make the biggest difference.” Wise words from a man 1 year wiser today! Happy Birthday @M_Nichol

@codyroyle Can you coach 'out' intuitive thinking/instinct and how do you develop this outside of authentic game situations within structured coaching/training?

You can only be qualified to do that which you have already accomplished or trained for.

Anything new is accomplished by unqualified people."

Truly saddened at the passing of the brilliant Sean Lock. His brilliance will be sorely missed. The amount of times I’ve almost wet myself laughing at him is countless.

Sleep well Sean.

I genuinely couldn’t stop laughing for days at this.

[The True Athlete Project @trueathleteproj]

Coming down from an #Olympics / #Paralympics can be incredibly complex. We're offering free, online reflective spaces for Tokyo Olympians & Paralympians to share & explore experiences.

Confidential, nonjudgmental, small groups (max 8 athletes)

We’re appalled that one of the NHS Million team - an intensive care doctor - has been driven off Twitter by hate and abuse.

Please follow and RT if you’re right behind Sammy and us, so together we can drown out the voices of those who seek to harm us all.

As the Olympics come to a close, what did we learn from the Olympics about performance, competing, toughness, and striving for greatness?

A THREAD on the 7 lessons from the Olympic games that we can take away and apply to our everyday lives.
