Seven years ago, Daniel Bard googled “how to get rid of the yips.” He tried lifting, tapping, hypnosis, beer. Nothing worked.

A year ago, he couldn’t even play catch with his kids.

Today he’s on the Rockies’ Opening Day roster. Inside the journey:

Once you’re calm and fit, you have everything worth having, as the rest just comes and goes.

[Brad Stulberg @BStulberg]

Common pitfall: All the peripheral stuff becomes the focus and crowds out your core work.

Result: Declines in performance, satisfaction, and wellbeing.

Fix: Don't rely on willpower alone. Design your routine and physical space to remove distractions. https://t.co/SdTMHMxaaC

Thought provoking read.
"We’re afraid of silence, afraid to be alone with our thoughts. That’s why we pull out our phones when we’re waiting in line at a coffee shop or the grocery store. We’re afraid to ask ourselves deep and meaningful questions. We’re afraid to be bored."

@DefendingBeef @ProfTimNoakes Please read our blog post too. When published on Quilette, it garnered loads of attention. People really want to get their facts straight now, and this will help: https://t.co/NnHlyedr0e

The great paradox of Peak Performance: Trying gets you really far until it gets in your way.

Consider cutting:
-Television
-Social Media
-Networking
-Wardrobe

Consider replacing with:
-Exercise
-Reading
-Sleep
-Community building
-Reflection/contemplation

Remember: Goal is NOT pure productivity. It's wise use of time, energy. Rest is important. https://t.co/8VzibamLlV

The pain of trying and failing is intense and over rather quickly. The pain of failing to try, on the other hand, is less intense but never really goes away.

When you’re completely focused in the moment—no TV, no Internet, no distractions—it makes a marked difference in the lives of the people around you. When you’re fully present, your love radiates.

@CLTgov my recycling didn’t get picked up today per the usual schedule. Has there been an interruption in service?

[Lee Hardee @leehardee]

So true. Cable news is bad for you.

[Brad Stulberg @BStulberg]

24-hour newscycle is explicitly designed to prey on our evolutionarily hardwired fear and dopamine response. Everything is “breaking.” Lots of red. Intense music.

Doesn’t make it valuable. Pick up a book, go outside instead.

Are you a mouth or a nose breather? How you typically inhale may impact how well your long-term memory works. https://t.co/qq86zrc7Lj

Key concepts on path to performance:
-Stress + rest = growth
-Process > outcomes
-Show up; consistency compounds
-Be patient
-Presence > distraction
-Surround yourself wisely
-Internal drive and joy > external validation
-Humility
-Self-awareness and tradeoffs > “balance”

Things you control:
Your effort
Your beliefs
Your identity
Your actions
Your attitude
Your integrity
Your thoughts
The food you eat
How kind you are
The media you read
How reflective you are
How thoughtful you are
The type of friend you are

A decade ago, the U.S. mandated the use of vegetable oil in biofuels, leading to industrial-scale deforestation — and a huge spike in carbon emissions.

Palm oil was supposed to help save the planet. Instead it unleashed a catastrophe. https://t.co/OLtsPYoku0

If you were to run alongside Kipchoge, how long would you last? This is what 2:01:39 pace translates to for various distances.

I'd probably be spent at about 700m. With some hard training, I could maybe make it a full 800m.

Best teachers, coaches, and counselors tend to have a combination of deep experience; deep expertise; and gifts for communication (this means both talking AND listening). https://t.co/afdydHD6w4

What if I told you there was a Netflix for books, audiobooks and ebooks...only it was free?
