Alongside @TeamGB and @ParalympicsGB we're on the look out for the next generation of Olympic and Paralympic talent.

So if you know a young person inspired by the incredible summer of sport @Paris2024 let them know it's time for them to find their greatness ⬇️

Well deserved, Tom 👏

Couldn’t get on the water this weekend with all the 🧊❄️
So we got the hiking boots out and hit the Pentlands instead! 🧗

We’re hoping to be back on the water soon though 🚣🏼 🤞🏻

In the exercise world, the science/research is generally 10-20 years behind what the best coaches are doing.

That doesn't mean we discount the science.

Research's job is largely to validate and explain why something works. It's seldom the innovator or the best prescription.

@plank_kevin @StartStrathPark Think of it as clickbait 😅

This is powerful! Stop waiting for it to get easier. Learn to handle hard better!

[Adam Kay @amateuradam]

Here’s a nice thing. The TV version of This Is Going To Hurt is all about the mental health of doctors, and culminates with the death by suicide of a junior doctor called Shruti (spoiler alert). There is a scene where a tree is planted in her memory, shot at Ealing Hospital. 1/3

A debut for Josh in the GB U19 Team this weekend. Which could only be described as ‘brutal’ racing amongst the best in Central Europe! #Start

Why does Red Bull own an F1 team?

Because the company — which sells $7B+ of energy drinks a year — is a pure marketing firm (outsources all production).

Its invested $2B+ into F1 but has gained multiples of that for the brand by "manufacturing history".

Here’s a breakdown🧵

@MarlowRegatta so... what’s the plan?

[Scottish Rowing @ScottishRowing]

We are delighted to announce an exciting opportunity for a retiring or recently retired performance athlete to join the Scottish Rowing performance coaching team for a two-year period as part of the Coaching Futures programme! Find out more 👉 https://t.co/9OD267BE91

Greater humility is warranted when we consider where true expertise resides and where the meaningful insights that move things forward come from.

Spoiler: academic research rarely drives cutting edge practice.

Empirical study is not restricted to the research setting

We are in talks with the Government about using our closed @BrewDog bars as vaccination centres.

We are also going to give everyone who gets vaccinated at a BrewDog bar a special commemorative beer.

But what should we call it?

[Tom Young @TomYoung_91]

@StephenSeiler You mentioned some research in Norway about pre-race hyperventilation, do you have a link to it? Thanks!
