@kccxteam Very true.

@grantholicky We all know it’s unfortunate and a cruel discipline but until it’s an Olympic sport it’s not going to get any better. It doesn’t help anyone that the bike world is struggling as well.

The four elites that the US sent to worlds have a combined cycling salary if $0 its so hard to see Scott go, but its the right choice for sure. But look at that crowd. 35k+ at worlds. Cyclocross is worth sponsoring. velo.outsideonline.com/cyclocross/cyc…

We often mistake being serious with being dedicated. That's often not the case. We are our most dedicated when we are having fun and experiencing joy We often create teams & cultures devoid of joy in the misplaced notion that seriousness means we are more committed. It doesn't

On your phone before performing? Research finds being on your phone before practice: -Impairs decision making in Volleyball players -Reduce training gains on swimming and endurance performance. Scrolling doesn't prime you for performing or learning.

Had a lot of fun with this week's episode of @FastTalkPod! @grantholicky, Jared Berg, and I were talking about nutritional needs of Junior athletes, but we got into a bunch of interesting conversations including longevity vitamins and berries! fasttalklabs.com/fast-talk/nutr…

@jens_dekker @killow_ One cup, only on race day.

@killow_ On average? About 0.1 I reckon. Maybe a bit less actually

What makes a champion? New analysis of over 6,000 athletes finds those who got to world-class, had during their youth: -more multisport than specialized practice -started their main sport later -accumulated less practice -Initially progressed slower than national class peers

Great study this. What we as coaches model matters. Not just for our player’s growth as people (which in and of itself is incredibly important), but to their performance as well.

@KathrynBertine @Boilermaker15K @SaranacBrewery Many many days up there. Love it. Enjoy. It’s the perfect time to be there.

@grantholicky @Boilermaker15K @SaranacBrewery Yes, loved it! I didn’t know Utica is your hometown. 🥰 We’re up in Old Forge. Love the Adirondacks so much.

Hi from @Boilermaker15K! Such a fun event in Utica, beautiful upstate NY. After so many years spent training hard to go fast in speedy sports, omg life is way more smiley at 9min miles. Imma stay right here at party pace. Thanks Boilermaker! See ya next year. 🏃🏻‍♀️🥰💖

I’m amazed at how composed and chill I sound on this. Cannot believe it was 8 years ago.

For the holiday, we thought we'd revisit one of the first Fast Talk episodes that we did on neuromuscular training. It was the first episode with @grantholicky as our guest! It was a lot of fun discussing what's changed in that conversation since 2016! fasttalklabs.com/fast-talk/revi…

Gratitude. It’s a secret weapon for your happiness. More thoughts here. open.substack.com/pub/grantholic…

@UVACoachFenwick Truly the most dominant collegiate swim team of all time. You guys have done amazing things there. Complete respect

There has been a former, current, or future Virginia Cavalier in every women’s final at Olympic Trials except the 1500. Pretty badass. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 #gohoos

Every Potluck one of us comments that "we may have jumped the shark," but this week's episode might truly be the one. @griffinmcmath, @RobertPickels, @grantholicky, and I finally had our GI issue discussion. Don't look at me... I asked about holding onto wheels! fasttalklabs.com/fast-talk/potl…

Been a heck of a two weeks. Its been hard and tiring and stressful and sad, but I've also laughed and smiled a lot. All of these emotions can and are allowed to be present at the same time. Our job is to make room for it all. Read more of my thoughts open.substack.com/pub/grantholic…

This week's episode was an interesting one for me. Sports psych is @grantholicky's specialty not mine. But, I got to listen to him and Dr Zuleger talk about how to put it into practice. Their takes on visualization and goal setting weren't what I expected! fasttalklabs.com/fast-talk/get-…

This is a particularly worthwhile listen. Lots of actionable things in this one. Thanks Brian

How you talk to yourself matters. In one study on lifting weights, goal directed self-talk "enhanced performance by 43% once an RPE of eight was reached, resulted in 63% more repetitions, and demonstrated more efficient muscle activation patterns."

There are a few jobs that my hat goes off to, because no matter how knowledgeable you are, everyone thinks they know more. Jobs like teachers, coach, and dieticians come to mind. Everyone is an expert. Because they are often blind to their ignorance.
