Albert Einstein on his school and Education system💡
It bored me. The teachers behaved like sergeants. I wanted to learn what I wanted to know, but they wanted me to learn for the exam. What I hated most was the competitive system there, and especially sports. Because of this, I wasn't worth anything, and several times they suggested I leave. This was a Catholic School in Munich. I felt that my thirst for knowledge was being strangled by my teachers; grades were their only measurement.
How can a teacher understand youth with such a system?
-- as mentioned in Einstein and the Poet: In Search of the Cosmic Man (1983) by William Hermanns

There is an old saying "don't be a jack of all trades" but not many people know that actually this saying has been watered down from the original quote which is: "A jack of all trades and a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one"
Had fun exploring athlete monitoring systems for health & performance with a great group. Plenty of challenge, play, debate and application in the design. Thanks to @EmmaNeupert @pearcy_darren and the @eis2win Human Perf & Athlete Health teams💪🏻
@Synergy_Para @HignettTom From what I can remember yes.. although devices vary. And graduated exposure / progressive overload still applies. No doubt Ed and others have some more insight
The learning process isn't finished when you acquire knowledge. It's complete when you consistently apply that knowledge.
Many people accumulate information. Far fewer use it to evolve and improve.
The ultimate test of growth is closing the gap between awareness and action.
