25 simple rules for living an excellent life in a shallow, isolated, and distracted world:
1. The best way to stay sane is to find the people and activities you love and give them your all.
2. Challenge yourself and do hard things. It makes you feel alive, and what we are all seeking is aliveness.
3. Move your body regularly. Eat your vegetables. (And when you forget, simply begin again.)
4. Be consistent. Some days will be better than others. Show up. Give what you’ve got to give. Rinse and repeat.
5. Remember that true success is not a big house or fancy car. It is knowing your values and living in alignment in with them.
6. Surround yourself with the right people. (This may be most important of all.)
7. Do what you can to respond not react: You can’t always control what happens to you but you can control what you do about it. This is where your power lies.
8. Everyone faces anxiety, fear, and doubt. Try not to let it shrink your life. Courage means taking these emotions along for the ride and doing it anyways.
9. Confidence comes from evidence. If you want to be confident about something, put in the reps and give yourself the evidence.
10. Just. Get. Started. You’re never fully ready. Nobody is. Lower the bar to ready enough, step in the arena, and learn (and grow) as you go.
11. Do not worry about being the best. Focus on being the best at getting better. The results will take care of themselves.
12. Better is about more than just objective results and points on the scoreboard; it also means becoming stronger, kinder, and wiser.
13. Focus less on being happy all the time and more on living a meaningful and textured life. The irony is, you’ll be happier as a result.
14. Set aside time for full attention on work that is important. Remove distractions. Periods of deep-focus work are a simple yet truly profound part of a good life.
15. Start where you are. Not where you want to be. Not where you think you should be. Not where other people think you should be. But where you are.
16. Play the long game. There is no such thing as an overnight breakthrough. The bigger the goal, the smaller the steps.
17. Sleep when you are tired.
18. Motivation is overrated. You don’t need to feel good to get going, you need to get going to give yourself a chance at feeling good.
19. People love to chess thump about how disciplined they are, but true discipline doesn't need a parade: it is simply showing up and doing what you need to do.
20. Doing the hard thing today often makes tomorrow just a bit easier.
21. You don't have to have an opionion on everything.
22. Don’t stress if you aren’t “balanced.” It’s impossible to do all the things. Part of being a mature adult is making tradeoffs. It’s okay to have different seasons of life for emphasizing different things.
23. What other people think of you does not matter nearly as much as what you think of yourself.
24. Don't be too cool to care. Caring is one of the coolest things there is.
25. The pursuit of greatness isn’t only about where you end up. It’s also about the person you become along the way.

Youth sports in the US are a disaster driven by egos & money.
70% of kids drop out of sports by 13
Fear of failure & pressure to perform from parents & coaches is one of the biggest reasons
We need to do better
Here's my youth sports manifesto for parents. It's important:
And almost the same could be said about Asian cycling.
What about the social responsability and marketing drive (not only new markets - also great stories to sell) of the organisations (teams, events, governing bodies) at the top?
Not performance driven, but practically limited?

Voor als je je schuur of berging aan het opruimen bent en je komt fietsspullen of -materiaal tegen: overweeg eens om het te doneren aan Streetwise Cycle Race - een organisatie voor en door fietsende mensen in een kwetsbare situatie.

@FrankvdWallBake Dit ook nav onderzoek in de 'Rabobank sporten' lang geleden. In wielersport nam aantal verkochte racefietsen toe in gloriedagen, maar aantal wedstrijdlicenties niet - nam vaak zelf af. Mensen vonden de plaatselijke club niet eens (nodig voor n licentie).
@FrankvdWallBake Er is daarbij (vaak) te weinig aandacht voor toegankelijkheid. Aandacht voor een sport neemt toe, maar als er geen zichtbare laagdrempelige toegang is, dan neemt het aantal beoefenaren maar beperkt toe. Aanbieders (verenigingen - vrijwilligers) niet ingericht op nieuwe toestroom.
Great article that reinforces the folly of technique led model

Wat bijzonder, een 2e plaats 🥈 voor @hettyvandewouw op de keirin 🚲. Met Talents 2 Paris volgden we haar in de afgelopen jaren in haar ontwikkeling van een jonge wat onzekere maar vastbesloten sporter, naar de zelfbewuste topsporter die ze nu is. Wat een geweldig resultaat! 👏
In onze nieuwe manier van werken voeren we bij Topsport Gelderland tegenwoordig individuele gesprekken 🗣 met de door onszelf gemaakte Warming-Up Kaarten. In dit artikel lees je het idee daarachter en wat betrokkenen zeggen👇
