You need enough speed to redeem your ticket to the dance, and enough control to make sure you stay on the floor.

“Athleticism” will always be relative to the sport at hand. But like many of life’s most powerful concepts there are fundamental principles at play under the surface.

My thoughts on a generalized, two pillar model for elite athleticism: move fast, stop on a dime.

My thoughts on what I call “The Theory of Athletic Relativity” in the latest edition of The GunnShow:

Enjoyed this from read from @rustindodd on where our ideas about athleticism go wrong.



But think there is an important piece missing:

Our proxies for athleticism aren’t the real culprit. It’s the illusion that there is a singular definition for it in the first place.

[The Athletic @TheAthletic]

Superstar athletes in all kinds of physically demanding sports are combining unconventional body types with otherworldly athleticism.

My thoughts in this week's edition of The Gunn Show:

[CG @CGunn5]

Spent years building systems only to learn a hard truth: they work, up until they don’t.

Even the best ones will always have holes because the highest impact actions can't be automated - they require a personal touch instead.

People, doing things that don't scale.

Alejandro Osuna was a machine in @MLBazFallLeague action.

The @Rangers' No. 16 prospect equaled a professional high with 5 hits and came within a triple of the cycle.

[MLB Pipeline @MLBPipeline]

With the @Rangers already having a formidable outfield, their Minor League Player of the Year, Alejandro Osuna, is in the AFL refining his game and seeking any edge he can get.

He headlines Texas' crop in the Fall League: https://t.co/bj8movoIoz

[Baseball America @BaseballAmerica]

Pablo Guerrero gained 7.5 mph in 90th percentile exit velocity in 2024.

That's the biggest year-over-year gain among prospects 👀

Vlad Jr.'s younger brother isn't the only Rangers prospect on the list, either.
