@NFL_DovKleiman It’s ridiculous Larry Fitzgerald isn’t mentioned here

@LizBeaubrook Let’s go!

@LizBeaubrook I would argue that “greatness” is the pursuit of the path itself. Not a commitment to one singular destination, but an openness to where the curves and rough road will take you.

Ben Silverman needed to hole-out from 109 yards to make the cut.

He decided to mark his ball when play was suspended Friday night.

This led to a unique range session full of 56-degree wedges before his attempt.

⁦I think this is one of the reasons change is so hard. It’s not just uncomfortable, it’s unnatural. Feeling with you, ⁦@TheoVon⁩. Thank you for sharing.

[Matt Jones, PhD, CMPC @mjonesperform]

Agreed. And this also means that psychologists with no formal training in sport/skill acquisition or understanding of sport can put athletes at risk by trying to be a performance coach

[John Nassoori @johnnassoori]

'People need to understand that if their ‘mindfulness coach’ or ‘performance coach’ has not received formal mental health training... there’s a risk any mental health conditions may be missed'

Sean Strickland gets emotional talking about his childhood trauma with Theo Von

@T_Cortazzo Looks like the crocs are in sport mode. He knows what he’s doing

@AlexAuerbachPhD Psychological safety, optimism, engagement, relationships, meaning, achievement

[Matt Jones, PhD, CMPC @mjonesperform]

Unnatural means contrary to ordinary course of nature. If you step into nature, what "wins"? No one thing. And yet everything. In nature, "winning" is shared. The success of the system is shared: a collective and symbiotic relationship for growth.

[Matt Jones, PhD, CMPC @mjonesperform]

@J_Haynes5 @LizBeaubrook Agree with this too. Still many barriers that we as a field have to figure out how to solve

[Matt Jones, PhD, CMPC @mjonesperform]

@LizBeaubrook @J_Haynes5 We’ve built it into our proactive model. Cant produce fruit if the ground isn’t ready.

[Matt Jones, PhD, CMPC @mjonesperform]

@T_Cortazzo Think this needs a deeper discussion and not just a limited character tweet. But yes, that would be a waste of time. Also willing to admit not watching him enough to know what he needs nor the time when this was necessary. Now, it may be a bit late in the game to add/use

[Matt Jones, PhD, CMPC @mjonesperform]

@Sports_Attack This is perfect preparation for pitchers who can leave the mound and pitch from anywhere

[Matt Jones, PhD, CMPC @mjonesperform]

@Justinsua Haha me too! Thanks for the clarification and love the content

[Matt Jones, PhD, CMPC @mjonesperform]

@Justinsua Maybe wrong choice of wording on my part. More so in disagreement with the GOAT, and offering a different perspective

[Matt Jones, PhD, CMPC @mjonesperform]

Caitlin Clark 🤝 changing the game of basketball. One of the most exciting players at every level right now
