@les7spellman this this this!

Wishing I could be back in my internship with @les7spellman and @speed_works_ again now that I feel like I know more than what I did in the spring. Staying thirsty for knowledge 🤯

[Jonas Dodoo @EatSleepTrain_]

1/2 Acceleration is a skill. Blending it into max v is the goal.

It’s great to measure RF, DRF, step characteristics, velocities , kinematics etc but eventually the athlete needs to feel it and solve the puzzle.

Just discovered the recipes on Nespresso's website! Can't wait to try some, though I'm a little envious of some of the flavours in the original capsules 😋

[Nespresso Global @Nespresso]

Nespresso introduces its new Master Origins Nicaragua La Cumplida Refinada, its first coffee using a new post-harvest fermentation technique, that brings smooth notes of candied cherry and pomegranate.

150 days until college football. That’s all that matters.

[Pratik Patel @PratikxPatel]

Eating meat along with fruits & vegetables is associated w/a lower risk of cancer

Eating a high amount of meat and low fruit & vegetable intake is linked w/a higher risk of cancer

Moral of the story:
If you eat a high amount of meat eat fruits & veggies too

So wait... Ottawa's four school boards are reporting the following caseloads:188 active student cases and 30 active teacher cases, yet they stay OPEN and we can't train outside? I really don't get political but this shutdown makes me wonder why I'm still in Canada.

Public service announcement...

1) If you want to analyze movement, watch movement & use video.

Dont reinvent movement concepts based on cherry picked still frames 📷 (often from bad angles) to justify your concepts.

2) new coaches be careful listening to those who break #1

[CocoDeraps @CocoDeraps]

@MicahhParsons11 I know you're right about that!!

[Pratik Patel @PratikxPatel]

Lifting weights doesn't stunt adolescent growth

Eating a high protein diet isn't bad for your kidneys or bones

Creatine is one of the safest supplements out there

Everyone should be supplementing with magnesium

Carbs are not the lone cause of obesity

[CocoDeraps @CocoDeraps]

@les7spellman Lol the social media experts 😂💥

[Vernon Griffith, CSCS*D @VernonGriffith4]

Become more aware of what deserves your energy.

[CocoDeraps @CocoDeraps]

Growth takes time. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't grown yet.

[Les Spellman @les7spellman]

1. Study everything broadly (4-6yrs)
2. Identify a problem in a specific category
3. Research problem (2-4yrs)
4. Present solution

10 yrs in: share most of it for free

IG Experts: year 1 in training: “im the best ”

[CocoDeraps @CocoDeraps]

Early morning zooms with @speed_works_ 😴No time zone difference will stop me from doing what I have to do to grow! #NeverStop #SpeedCoach #3am

[CocoDeraps @CocoDeraps]

Sleep. Sleep. Sleep.

[Pratik Patel @PratikxPatel]

Adults who sleep less than 6 hours are likely to eat ~200 more calories per day

Why?
Less sleep = disrupted circadian rhythms
Appetite hormones are altered (increased ghrelin and decreased leptin)
If you're awake and bored you're more likely to eat d/t hunger

[CocoDeraps @CocoDeraps]

Bought cotton candy grapes thinking it's just because they are slightly pink. No. They ACTUALLY taste like cotton candy 😖 not sure how I feel about my grapes tasting like diabetes.

[CocoDeraps @CocoDeraps]

Always looking for better ways to tie everything together and track/monitor my athletes. Have I finally found the perfect software? 😮🙉

[Jamaica Observer @JamaicaObserver]

The long-awaited and highly anticipated season opener of two-time 100m Olympic champion @realshellyannfp came at Velocity Fest 8 at National Stadium in Kingston on Saturday.
