In alle sporten draait het om resultaten en prestaties, maar het proces is zo belangrijk. Waar wil je naartoe als atleet én als mens? Om van je sport te kunnen genieten, moet het een spel blijven en als je van je sport geniet, lukt dat winnen ook beter! #performance #joy #win

Steve Kerr says Roger Federer taught his Warriors team the secret to sustained success wasn’t outworking everyone, it was building a life around your craft you never want to escape from

“I’ll tell you a great story about Roger Federer. We were playing in China with the Warriors in 2017. Roger was in Shanghai for the Masters tournament, so we invited him to come speak to the team.”

“Draymond Green asked him, ‘How do you sustain success? How have you managed to win majors 20 years after you first won one?’ Everyone was expecting him to say, ‘I work harder than everybody,’ the will, all the clichés.”

“Roger Federer says, ‘I get up every morning and I make breakfast for my kids. Then I take them to school and drop them off. Then I go practice tennis for about two hours, and I’ve figured out a really good routine where I don’t destroy my body, but I can get all the work in I need.”

“‘Then I go have lunch with my wife. In the evening, we cook dinner together. The kids are all home from school. We ask them about school. There’s so much joy in the house. We put them to bed, and then I put my head on the pillow and go, “Man, that was just a great day.” And I’ve been doing that for 20 years.’”

“And it was like, yes. That’s it. That’s the formula. That’s what leads to sustained success. He loves tennis. He loves his family. He loves life. It’s not outworking everybody and banging your head against the wall, ‘I’m going to be better than everybody.’ It’s allowing your natural talent to shine through with a work ethic, with a great family life, with perspective, with peace, with mindfulness.”

“It’s perspective. It’s joy. It’s passion. It’s mindfulness. It’s an awareness that we are truly lucky. To get the most out of ourselves, it’s our daily rituals and experiences and love and joy.”

@DeWitJulien @trendsbelgie @JDeMeulemeester @nijst Nog steeds erg benieuwd naar wat u dan juist bedoelt met « menselijkheid als mensenlijke skill » in deze context?

@LingierTom @RodMurrow Indoors that happens a lot, 3 rounds in one day. I liked it. But outdoors is different. 100 is taxing the body and brain more, warming-up area is further away, … so more ‘travel time’…. It will be a challenge but interesting :)

@DeWitJulien @trendsbelgie @JDeMeulemeester @nijst Wel benieuwd naar wat u dan juist bedoelt met « menselijkheid als mensenlijke skill » in deze context.

We suck at predicting talent development.

We're not good at it. Accept that.

Now, if that's the case, why wouldn't we want to keep more people in the pipeline to see how they develop?

Too often, especially in youth sports, we talent ID too quickly.

We're fooling ourselves.

[Eline Berings @ElineBerings]

@LegionJerry Klopt niet.

[Eline Berings @ElineBerings]

@PJVangerven Zo moedig. Gezien uw functies is wat meer neutraliteit mss wel gepast. Enige vraag van belang is: hoe ervoor zorgen dat dit soort zaken beter gaan in de toekomst, en dat in functie van wie écht presteert.

@jonas_creteur Heel andere 7kamp , was zeker in grote doen.

@wduyck @LodeCossaer En dat vind je goed/nuttig?

Generosity rarely starts with an offer of help. It often begins with a question about what others need.

Even those close to us face invisible hardships. The best way to give is to ask about their challenges.

We don't always have a solution, but we can always make them feel seen.

The influencers in grind culture speak in absolutes:
No alcohol, candy, sugar, etc.
Super strict crazy routines

Every world class athlete I know: eats some candy, drinks an occasional beer, has routines but is flexible

Why? Neuroticism gets in the way of performance.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Switching quickly between digital media doesn't reduce boredom. It intensifies it.

7 experiments: Skipping and swiping through segments to sustain interest backfires. Divided attention thwarts satisfaction and meaning.

Enjoyment depends on full immersion in one task at a time.

Politics can use a bit of emotional agility these days …. 😑

[Eline Berings @ElineBerings]

@jonas_creteur Echt hè 🤭

Als je naar de speeches luistert, hebben alle partijen het geweldig goed gedaan 🤭 #verkiezingen2024

@wduyck Als men over « mental) wellbeing » spreekt gaat het toch niet (alleen) over aan-/afwezigheid van mental illness?!
« The dual continuum provides a contemporary view of mental health and wellbeing, showing that mental health and mental illness are separate and distinct concepts. »
