The longer I coach, the more I’m convinced that it’s mostly about putting people in a place where they can perform out of joy, curiosity, exploring their potential, and taking on a challenge.

Too often we let fear, protecting our self or our ego take over.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

If you want to be a great coach or S&C.... learn the opposite event.

If endurance come naturally, learn under a sprint coach. If strength training is your thing, go spend time with the cross-country coach.

Don't try to learn the opposite events from within your domain. Spend time with experts.

It's why you see so many poor takes on interval training or aerobic training, or on the other side sprint mechanics or sprint training.

Be a master generalist. Go learn from the other side. It would minimize so much of the poor discussion on training.

Ego coaches move towards dependence, while great coaches move towards independence.

The ego coach wants a cult, where they make everyone feel like they are nothing without us.

But truly caring nudges you towards the opposite. Watching that person spread their wings and fly.

Keep the main thing the main thing. Focus on what matters.

Don't get distracted by the shiny objects, quick fixes, or hacks that promise improvement.

Don't chase the fountain of youth, when items that actually make a difference & are easy to do are staring you in the face.

What a game. What a feeling. Let it sink in Chiefs Kingdom.

Exercising 150 minutes per week for 4 months is equally as effective as taking an antidepressant for depression, review finds.

Get outside and get moving.

Start small and easy. For many, a walk is enough when you are starting.

This behind the scenes video of safety Justin Reid kicking for the Chiefs is awesome.

A reminder that health and performance are NOT mutually exclusive.

If you cut corners with your health, you may get a temporary boost in performance, but that will quickly fade, and you'll pay the price in the long term. This goes for mental, as well as physical health.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

Nowhere in that list is excessive control, micromanaged, or being motivated with fear.

Yet, too often we default to leadership based on power, control, and a touch of fear.

Why?

It's easier to be a dictator than to do the work to establish trust and get buy-in.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

People perform best when they:

-Are motivated by an inner drive
-Feel secure
-Can make progress
-Feel they belong
-Do meaningful work
-Are challenged, not threatened

Tyler Harris runs a great race with a 8 second PR and a new school record 9:14.96 for 8th place. Incredibly deep field.

[Matt Lisle @CoachLisle]

Incredible response by Tom Izzo when asked about the idea that the postgame handshake line should be done away with.

Once you realize that the world still functions as it did in high school, it's easier to make sense of it.

Status, cliques, bullies, trolling; we're searching for a place to fit in.

We tell a story that we grow up, mature. The games change. But the human behavior remains.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

A vital ingredient in life: Have some clear your mind time.

Mine is running. No phone, music, devices. Just me, alone with my thoughts, in nature.

Clear your mind time = Space where your mind can drift and wander freely. It's not drawn to or distracted by technology.
