Easily my three favorite books I‘ve read this year! Such powerful lessons in each of them. Highly recommend.

“Be a tough guy in life. What does that mean? It means including people, because that’s a little harder to do. Excluding people, that doesn’t take much. That’s not very tough.”

An incredible message from @ArmyLaxCoach, who coaches some of the toughest blokes on the planet 🥍

[Alex Auerbach @AlexAuerbachPhD]

Elite sport often uses pressure as a get up or get out mechanism for coaches.

The research suggests this kind of pressure also promotes the exact harmful behavior we want to curb, like cheating and incivility.

If we want coaches to do better, the system has to be better.

[Dr. Michael Gervais @michaelgervais]

Fun quick summary of the power of compassion - on both health and performance.

"Compassion is a vital component of effective leadership. People’s brains respond more positively to leaders who show compassion, as demonstrated by neuroimaging research..." https://t.co/fcqpYincBQ

[Mark Bennett MBE @PDScoach]

This says so much about why we have behaviour issues with too many coaches, parents & spectators at grass roots all the way through sport. Journalist & pundits need to understand the difference between being committed/being invested, verses out of control behaviour -

[Cody Royle @codyroyle]

It’s bonkers to me that one of the top coaches in football has to spend his week explaining why he doesn’t get angrier on the touchline and abuse referees.

Apparently demonstrative anger = passion and competence.

What a crazy world we’ve created.

Important reminder! 🙌

What else?

[Cody Royle @codyroyle]

The future of professional coaching is coaches who prepare themselves for performance as diligently as we ask our players to.

[Nikolas Buser @NikolasBuser]

Time to emphasize coach support and well-being in Finland, too. Your thoughts?

[Coaching the Coaches @coachingcoach_]

"That sport psychology services can offer a competitive advantage to coaches should not be a surprise, though there may be resistance to the idea due to coaching's grindset culture"

[Matt Cameron @MCameron008]

good players that are great teammates are far more valuable than great players that are poor teammates

[Joe Baker @bakerjtoronto]

Converging evidence from multiple fields. I make a similar case in The Tyranny of Talent for removing these labels in sport.

[Alex Auerbach @AlexAuerbachPhD]

Until now, elite sport performance has been predicated on physical skill.

The wave of the future:
• psychological skills
• cognitive skills
• culture

These are the places with the biggest opportunity for real separation.

This is incredible. The video is as much a work of art as the actions it has so lovingly immortalised.

[Cody Royle @codyroyle]

Most of us think we can only advance if we delve deeper and deeper into tactics and systems.

My belief is that your largest source of competitive advantage is actually within you.

Being in a state to perform, rather than a state of depletion, is your greatest power.

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

"Your outcomes in life are a lagging measure of your habits. Even if you are talented, you can't succeed without great habits. It's enough at lower levels. But once you get to the top, everybody is talented, so the only thing that separates you is often your mental approach."

[Alex Auerbach @AlexAuerbachPhD]

The highest ROI activities for performers:

• Relevant practice
• Consistent sleep
• Restorative nutrition
• Regular meditation
• Frequent challenging activities
• Learn new skills & concepts
• Set goals
• Track progress
• Work with a performance psych
• Get coached

[Nikolas Buser @NikolasBuser]

We need to build a support system for coaches. One that allows them to be high-performers without burning out. One that makes the job sustainable.

[Cody Royle @codyroyle]

There's a trend playing out in coaching that we need to be paying attention to.

Good coaches are quitting, preferring to walk away than put themselves and their families through the lifestyle.

Sports should be the bastion of leadership, not the industry leaders are fleeing.
