Socrates had it nailed. The more I know, the less I know. It's quite terrifying. Is there a quick Tweet I can read to make me feel better? 😆

[Deena Blacking @DeenaBlacking]

OPINIONS WANTED! ;-) I am not attached to a uni so don't have the luck to access research for free. I'm contemplating subscribing to a journal. Which one would best serve my needs as a performance endurance cycling coach? #cycling #sportscience #exercisephysiology #coaching

[Deena Blacking @DeenaBlacking]

Could whoever voted "something else" please elaborate on what the "something else" is?

@theeamonnhogan It might be worth taking a look at what @cimspa is trying to do in terms of setting standards… but it feels a long way off the sort of regulation that exists for protected professional titles

[Deena Blacking @DeenaBlacking]

@theeamonnhogan Sport is highly “unregulated”. Even when NGBs offer qualifications, these are not necessary prerequisites to practise… there’s a lack of clear pathways for development within many sports roles, which stems partly from to the relative newness of professionalising sport…

@Daveachino I’d pay to see it

My most favouritist non serious post of the day 😅

[Chris Froome @chrisfroome]

Some cycling asmr for you. It’s a pleasure 😘 #asmr #bentley #factorbikes #cycling

[Deena Blacking @DeenaBlacking]

@philllewellyn 😂 Well that was clearly too much of a challenge for my brain

[Deena Blacking @DeenaBlacking]

@jennycoady10 I mean in terms of how the game was played. I'm not a rugby expert, but the SA team have chosen to field a very heavy pack whose trump card is battering their opponents. Obviously they're world-class, but I prefer watching a slickly run, fast-moving game with impressive plays...

[Deena Blacking @DeenaBlacking]

Powerful stats + interesting stories in this year's survey of the female pro peloton.
