[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

"It’s not culture’s job to make people feel good.
The purpose of culture is to drive the behaviors that win.

That’s it.
That’s culture’s job."

A team's culture isn't defined by words alone.

It's forged by the standards they set and the expectations they uphold.

Hands on knees recovery > Hands on your head

A lot of our coaches had it wrong back in the day, and there’s research to back it up.

In this thread I’ll explain the biomechanical reasons why “hands on knees” is superior.

Please stop having athletes:

- Do bodybuilding splits
- Use CrossFit as a main training tool
- “Max out,” every week
- Train every day
- Run miles upon miles
- Use a ladder as primary speed work
- Use a theragun as a main recovery tool
- Go to chiropractors instead of PTs

Older adult clients are the best. Not only do you typically have them year-round, but they also make you feel good

Them: how much weight is that?!

Me (pause benching): just 225

Them: OH MY GOD YOU SHOULD FIGHT CRIME

in case you didn’t know, Renzo-Gracie Philly fighters are STILL undefeated in the UFC

[Adam Martin @MMAdamMartin]

The Renzo Gracie Philly guys are absolutely KILLING IT in the UFC right now. Andrei Petroski, Pat Sabatini, Sean Brady, and Jeremiah Wells are all unbeaten in the UFC. This team is going places in this sport. #UFCVegas54

[Casey Mulholland @CaseyMulholland]

Big difference in what we know today about pitching mechanics and what we will know in 5 years time.

Too many players don’t understand this. They see philosophies and programs as absolute instead of evolving.

Marketing over the last 30yrs seems to be a root cause. 🤒

It wasn’t to settle a salary dispute. He had gotten a big raise and just divided it amongst the cast. He was one of a kind.

[James Smith @TheUofStrength]

Most 1v1 mirroring activities we see take place in comfortable & ideal conditions. At some point the ATH needs the exposure & opportunity to solve problems in a chaotic environment. Here’s an inside 👀 at how we challenged the DEFs ability to appreciate space (close down)…
