It’s depressing that we used to think, act and play like this… Europe colonized soccer reverting logic: insinuating to us that tactics and motivational speeches were superior to fun, unabashed and offensive playing all along stealing our core to their advantage… And now we have to watch them to learn what we used to teach 🙃

Risk taking, technical excellence and a belief in ‘we’re going to score more than you’. This is how football should be played.

The greatest mistake in thinking is that putting together a group of stars automatically means the best results… Paris St. Germain went from having three of the most talented forward players in history without any large success to a unknown and unproven ones who are absolutely crushing armies… In this case, one can argue that the previous lineup had similar characteristics while the new one is more synergistic, and that would be right. All other explanations about ego and lack of hunger is nonsense, specially in the case of Mbappe who hasn’t won the Champions yet… Synergy > energy amplified 🙏🏽

How do I explain to my kids that PSG upgraded their attack?😭

The thing about the sport in the past was: Europe used to bring tactics, group motivation and strategy…and south america brought that creativity, the dance and magic to it Somehow, Europe learned that could use some of this insane street skills and make it part of their game, which it made them incredibly stronger… But every once in a while…we are reminded of why the magic and creativity was stronger in people’s minds and hearts… Tactics is supposed to enhance talent, but most think it’s supposed to restrict or restrain… If you are not great…tactics and game plan are vital and necessary 😂. But if you are…tactics and game plan are just there to maximize your winning chances… Today we all should be grateful for this glimpse of truth and beauty ❤️

It’s good to point out that unlike many think, higher testosterone levels doesn’t equal violent behavior-it’s quite the opposite Also, aggressive behavior takes form because of many factors together: environmental conditions, traumas, social based incentives 🙏🏽

I’ve treated hundreds of men with clinically low T What I see consistently is not the trope that is being extrapolated from this, that T = agro It’s about safety. This made the rounds a few months ago but is the best explanation: Low T is a fear based state. You must conform to groupthink when your body does not have the necessary substrate to fight for what you believe. Blending in, nodding along, performing prosocial virtue the second eyes are on you. That conformity = protection from the pack. That’s exactly what this study showed: placebo men ramped up their donations only under observation. Their nervous system was desperate for social safety. High T states allow you to have more conviction because you are not afraid of the consequences. You maintain your beliefs and values even in the face of possible danger for holding said beliefs. You’re not looking for a fight, but you’re no longer terrified of one. A single 150 mg dose of T erased the audience effect in the study. The men stopped performing for the crowd because they no longer needed the crowd’s protection I see this play out constantly: Low T: In a meeting everyone’s quietly agreeing to something unethical or stupid. He stays silent or echoes it, not because he believes it, but because rocking the boat feels existentially unsafe High T: Same meeting. He calmly calls it out. He doesn’t need the group’s approval to feel secure Low T: Sees the virtue-signal post or donation box only when people are watching → suddenly extra generous or vocal. But doesn’t actually hold the value to want to do that thing, only because the crowd thinks that’s right High T: Does what’s right whether anyone’s watching or not. The study proved T removes that spike in performative prosociality. They still make the donation, but they don’t care if anyone sees it Low T: A dad sits at the dinner table while his teenage son repeats some absurd, self-hating ideology he picked up at school. The dad knows it’s damaging, but his body is in fear mode, no substrate to risk the eye-rolls, the “you’re toxic” label, or family tension. He nods, changes the subject, or even weakly agrees so the house stays peaceful High T: Same dad looks his son in the eye and says, “That’s wrong, and here’s why,” even if it gets uncomfortable. He’s not yelling, he’s anchored in his beliefs and changes the trajectory of both their lives (Ps I’ve watched these low-T dads lose their sons to confusion and resentment, the boys grow up without a model of male conviction, then repeat the cycle. it seems like an entire generation of fathers are outsourcing their kids’ moral compass to schools and screens because they’re biologically wired to prioritize group approval over protection) Low T: A married man in his 30s watches his wife make one destructive financial or parenting decision after another (impulse spending that tanks the budget, or coddling a child who needs discipline). He feels the conviction in his gut but folds every time. Chameleon mode keeps the marriage superficially intact, but he’s dying inside High T: He holds his frame with calm clarity: “This isn’t working for our family, and I’m not going along with it anymore.” The relationship might get bumpy for a while but it survives on truth, rather than performance Low T: A talented 35-year-old engineer or doctor sees his company or hospital push a policy he knows is unethical or stupid (fudging data, DEI quotas over merit, cutting corners on patient safety). His nervous system is on fire at the thought of speaking up, so he stays quiet, nods in the meeting, and even helps implement it. The audience effect is in full force: he performs loyalty to stay safe High T: He raises his hand and says what needs saying, not because he wants conflict, but because his biology now gives him the courage to value truth over tribe These are stories from the front line how different would our world would be if we had endocrine normalization across the population?
