Microdosing training in the off-season? The field is now conquered by the lazy.

[Jake Tuura @jake_tuura]

You lose maximal speed after 5+-3 days.

Why is this never questioned?

Why do we just trust the 70s/80s Russians?

Sport is a brutal, beautiful game of inches.

This weekend was a masterclass in this very concept.

In the World Series, inches on a slide kept the Toronto Blue Jays from capturing the title.

In the NYC Marathon, a slight lean, two tenths of a second, separated 1st from 2nd.

It's the magic and soul-crushing cost of being in the arena:

“Micro dosing” = adequate programming and organization, with adequate load, for microcycles in the competitive stage of the competitive period (as has existed in Sports Training for 50 or more years).

[Sean Smith @ssmithcoaching]

Seen a few practitioners post about education for athletes. While ed is important, setting up the environment to reduce friction for the athlete moves the needle. Present nutrition, recovery, skill acq, etc in a way that nudges intention & the 'right' decision from the athlete

We’re excited to welcome @Jessepgreen as our new Director of Performance Science (West Region Manager)!

Jesse brings over a decade of experience in elite sport environments across Australia (AFL) and the US (NBA, NHL, NCAA), with a background spanning S&C, sport science, return-to-play, and performance leadership

He’ll be based in the Bay Area, supporting teams and practitioners on the West Coast, helping our community in preparing their athletes for the next-level of performance 🤝

[Sean Smith @ssmithcoaching]

THIS.

[Mark McLaughlin @Results_Period]

The play “multiple sports 🏈 ⚾️🏀⚽️” crowd, for better all around athletes, assumes that they are embedded in representative learning environments in all other disciplines. That get adequate reps (they don’t), are free to make mistakes (there not), and are allowed to explore different solutions (😂😂😂). It’s so over coached.

The flip side is if they were playing with friends, at the park or in the street, with no coaches or adults interrupting, and could spend hours playing (lots of repetition without repetition), and for the joy of playing, they would be much happier and better off.

[Sean Smith @ssmithcoaching]

Big time!

The future is now.

[Dr. Tyler Yearby @TylerYearby]

I'm thrilled to announce I've accepted a new position for the Brown Bears football team (@BrownU_Football): Offensive Quality Control Assistant/Director of Skill Acquisition. Thank you to @BrownHCPerry and the university for this tremendous opportunity!

[Sean Smith @ssmithcoaching]

S&C coaches are quick to talk about how complex the human system is w periodization/adaptation but then go do ladder drills claiming they support more agile movers in sport (an even larger complex environment)

Can't be both ways

[Philip O'Callaghan 🎾 @Mr_Tennis_Coach]

Skill is a relationship between the athlete and the environment.

It’s about fitting action to context, not executing rehearsed routines

[John Davis, CSCS, Pn1, OPEX @Mr_davisj]

You need to let your athletes make mistakes.

The human brain works on error correction. Meaning we learn from mistakes.

Being perfect or practicing perfect repetitions isn’t how we’re meant to learn.

Be more dynamic & adaptable

[Emergence @EMERGENTMVMT]

Think IndyCar drivers just sit and steer?

200+ mph, no power steering, sweltering heat & adapting to every lap 🥵

It’s physically AND perceptually demanding

@hp_coach_sean breaks down the challenges of elite motorsport on our pod🏎️

[Philip O'Callaghan 🎾 @Mr_Tennis_Coach]

Players don’t develop adaptability by following orders—they develop it by interacting with the game.

Coaches should guide, not control.

[Shawn Myszka @MovementMiyagi]

The Sport Movement Skill Conference 2025 will take the lead on bringing us all back to the necessary challenge points where evolution is the only option. It is here where both theory and practice, science and art, can co-exist, channeling the development of each individual’s craft, leading to positive implications in the field.

[Kyle Dupic @kyledupic]

Great podcast on multiple fronts, but want to highlight near the back 1/3 when they talk about early specialization. Thought @hp_coach_sean hit it on the head with a more nuanced discussion that meets the athlete where they are instead of a one size fits all answer. 👏

[Sean Smith @ssmithcoaching]

Great chatting with @thecoachjav . The crew at @EMERGENTMVMT are the best in the business!

[Emergence @EMERGENTMVMT]
