“The literature doesn’t say that.”
“Where is your literature to back this up?”
“Top coaches don’t use the literature… Get rid of those damn books, man. They write down what you want to hear. Athletics isn’t an honest sport.”

Sport doesn’t build character. It exposes it.

Listening too much can sometimes get you into as much trouble as listening too little. #ears #sport #coaching

Remember most of what is on Instagram is bulls**t. Get good at filtering through bulls**t. #pinchofsalt

A lot of coaches change their programmes based on their injury history, rather than personalising it to the individuals injury risk! Don’t allow your baggage to alter your athletes training programme!

🤯 there is so much you could say about this…

This is wild..

At India's Delhi state meet, athletes heard doping control was coming... So they didn't show up.

1 out of 8 finalists ran the 100m

In the steeple, a runner finished & kept running. Doping control chased her down

Always get a second opinion. The Ecstasy of Wilko Johnson documentary is one good example!

What you *can* do & what you "should* do are very different things.

And if you wait until you can't do, to recover, you've gone way too far.

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.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

Stress is not inherently bad.

It can be a catalyst for growth if we manage it well.

Rest is not inherently good. It can be a source of stagnation if we overdo it.

It's about balancing stress and rest.

Which of these is your biggest fear?

How well do you know your own inner chimp? Have you developed strategies to talk him down? #mental #strategies #fight #outsmart #it #two #minds

Expose your athletic weaknesses publicly. It can make you more motivated to improve. #Psychology #mind #training #hardnut

[Physikcal @getphysikcal]

Do you invest as much time planning your nutrition and recovery, as you spend on planning your training sessions? If not, why not? #training #recovery #time #trainingschedule

[Physikcal @getphysikcal]

If you don’t keep good records of your gym sessions, how do you expect to get strong? #training #diary #right #decisions #wasting #time

Ask yourself this each day… How much are you out your comfort zone? #notime #comfort #mind #newground
