Culture comes before chemistry. Culture is shaped by leadership. Chemistry is shaped by team members. Chemistry is fleeting without culture.

@ClayTravis You are totally overlooking Greer Stadium and the Sounds, Clay. Come on man.

As a kid born & raised in Nashville, at a time when we had no pro sports & Vandy basketball was the best sports venue in the city, the idea we would ever host a Super Bowl would have been outrageous for my entire childhood. But here we are, Super Bowl 2030 is coming to town.

@aria_gerson People are making the game more complex than it needs to be, but I recommend @Jeff_Martin44 for the position without reservations

My updated metabolic map is less focused on substrate utilization and thresholds and more focused on metabolic stability. I believe the shift is subtle but important.
Instead of only asking:
“What fuel is being used?”
The model also asks:
“How stable is the metabolic system under stress?”
In this framework, lactate becomes the central proxy to understand the balance, drift, or overload of the metabolic system.
Approximate translation and comparison with different models:
• Zone 1 = low metabolic stress
Clearly below LT1/VT1
• Zone 2 = metabolic equilibrium
Near LT1/VT1, where lactate production and clearance remain tightly matched and the system operates at its highest sustainable balance
• Zones 3–4 = metabolic drift
The system progressively moves away from optimal mitochondrial matching capacity, even if lactate may still achieve a “steady state”…CP/MLSS/VT2/LT2/V4…
• Zone 5+ = metabolic overload
Above CP/MLSS/VT2/LT2/V4, where no true steady state is physiologically achievable
The key conceptual distinction:
A lactate steady state is not the same as optimal metabolic equilibrium.
The metabolic equilibrium ceiling is near LT1/VT1 and Zone 2.
The steady-state ceiling is CP/MLSS/VT2/LT2/V4.
Performance is ultimately defined by how long the body can preserve metabolic equilibrium.

@Bosox808 @ClayTravis Yeah, I think it says more about youth and HS tennis programs in the US than anything else. Seems the only good tennis players in US come from elite academies, whereas in other sports, players emerge without being part of an “elite” program.
English
@CoachTimHall @ClayTravis Thank you. And not only that, they are simply better at tennis than most of us, it’s a fact. Him and Pats resolution is to cut foreigners from programs which simply makes no sense since college is for everyone, not just Americans. I lost my spot to a foreigner, bc he was better.
English
Should US colleges have a minimum number of US born athletes on their teams receiving scholarships? Legit debate we should have. Look at men’s tennis numbers below, nearly 90% foreign born.
Patrick McEnroe@PatrickMcEnroe
Congrats to TCU, Texas, Wake Forest and Virginia on reaching the NCAA men’s tennis Final Four. By my count: 24 singles starters. 3 from the USA. It’s not about one school or one match. It’s about the overall numbers — and what they mean for the American college tennis pathway.

@Dr_Wayne_Coward My parents took me to watch that game at Sullivan North. Will never forget it. We were all in disbelief.

@CoachTimHall Wow. And the 1987 game was rough.

The game of baseball keeps meming itself at all levels. This is FAR worse than what happened to McGavock HS in Kingsport in 1987.

WAIT… THEY DIDN’T WIN 😱 Catholic High thought it had walked off the state championship on a bases-loaded walk… but the batter never touched first base 👀 One of the wildest moments you’ll ever see in a championship game. Catholic High did walk it off in the 15th inning... full highlights coming soon!

My first time hearing the term allostatic load, but it is a real thing. Allostatic overload not only diminishes returns, but also may make matters worse.
Manuel Sola Arjona@arjona_manu
When your allostatic load is low, training makes you improve. But when your allostatic load is very high, whether because you are overtrained or because you have too much daily stress, the body is no longer able to properly assimilate that work.

@cstegmaier Christian, do a little more homework. The rafters aren’t keeping pace with spending. SC legislators have put them all on notice. This will continue to be an ongoing struggle for all states. Every college president has been well aware of the cliff.

We have a problem.
Somewhere along the line, “Playing multiple sports is good!” turned into, “you have to play all of your sports simultaneously year round!”
We’ve lost the plot. Kids cannot play a baseball, basketball, and football season all at the same time.

Good question:
Why doesn't zone 3 lead to sustainable adaptations?
So, what happens, physiologically, in zone 3?
1/ Heart rate increases/filling time decreases.
Many athletes will have lower EDV (end diastolic volume) when doing z3 vs z1 work - less of that all-important "stretch" stimulus on the heart that leads to long-term cardiac remodeling.
2/ Athletes burn a lot less fat and a lot more glycogen.
Because of this, training tolerance in this zone is significantly reduced. And, more importantly, the impetus placed upon the body to improve fat oxidation is not present. That is, athletes who are already "carb burners" just become better "carb burners"
3/ Zone 3 is stressful, leading to activation of/strengthening of the "Fight or flight" sympathetic nervous system.
With too much z3, HRV ⬇️& the strength of the athlete's recovery system goes with it. Over time, the athlete becomes very sympathetic dominant & gets locked into "stress mode" - if this goes on too long, it leads to failing adaptation and overtraining.
######
This is why, for sustainable improvement, zone 1 should be the focus.
ORDraper@DraperOr
@Alan_Couzens Doesn’t literally all cardio also boost the base? If I’m doing zone 3, that’s not going to somehow magically not trigger long term adaptations as well as shorter term.

@janibrajkovic Have you read Breath by James Nestor? He goes deep into this issue & how mouth breathing has negatively affected health, how nasal cavity/skull structure has evolved worse over 1000s of years. Nasal breathing, long exhales, etc. leads to better health, less respiratory issues.

Three months of somatic work targeting the diaphragm, ribcage, and trunk.
No additional training.
53 breaths → 33.
Heart rate -10 bpm.
Volume per breath +30%.
The fitness was already there. The body just couldn't access it.

Same athlete. Same 360W (6.2W/kg). 3 months apart.
53 breaths/min → 33
164 bpm → 154
Volume/breath: +30%
Training didn't change.
🧵 What changed, and why it matters for every endurance athlete:

@adamhousley Just met with an 80 year old client and she was watching Fox News when I walked in. We were discussing some former Fox talent now living in San Antonio. She said “you know who I miss, that Housley guy.” I assured her you’re doing well and I would reach out on X for her. 😀

This has been and will continue to happen throughout collegiate athletics. Only now is it affecting an SEC school, but common at every other level for the past 5 years.
John Isner@JohnIsner
The post NIL college landscape is out of control. Flat out ruining college sports and now a very proud men’s and women’s program is being cut altogether because of all this BS. This is a travesty. Never thought I’d see the day where an SEC school eliminated tennis.

Steve Jobs really pulled a reality distortion field to poach Tim Cook from Compaq (in 1998, it was worth $30B+ to Apple’s $3B). All of Cook’s friends and advisors told him not to join almost-bankrupt Apple. Cook says it took Jobs one meeting to convince him: “I had gotten a call several times from the search people that [Jobs] had employed, and I kept saying no. I was happy at Compaq — or thought I was — and they were persistent. So, I finally thought, ‘you know, I’m going to go out and take the meeting. Steve created the whole industry that I’m in. I’d love the meeting.’ […] All of a sudden, he’s talking about his strategy and his vision and what he was doing. He was going 100% into consumer when everybody else in the industry had decided you couldn’t make any money in consumer. They were headed to servers and storage and the enterprise. […] I always thought following the herd was a bad idea. He showed me a bit of the design to get me interested [of what later would be called the iMac]. The way that he talked and the chemistry. I could tell I could work with him. I looked at the problems Apple had and I thought ‘you know, I can make a contribution here’ and working with [Jobs would be] the privilege of a lifetime. All of a sudden I thought, ‘I’m doing it. I’m going for it.’ You hear this voice in your ear that says, ‘Go west, young man, go west.’ [The move to Apple] didn’t make sense. And yet my gut said ‘go for it’ and I listened to my gut. There was literally no one around me that was advising me to do it.” In March 1998, Cook joined Apple as Senior Vice President of Worldwide Operations on a $400k base salary (and a $500k signing bonus). He was 37. Incredible gut call. *** Full episode here from 2014: youtu.be/u9Sy3qwthCw?si…

This hitting truism is a truism for life. Discipline is key - swing at only good opportunities within your strengths and abilities.
Jonathan Lucroy@JLucroy20
You are only as good as the pitches you swing at. Conversely, you will be bad if you swing at bad pitches. Good hitters swing at good pitches to hit. Bad hitters swing at bad pitches and miss good ones.
