To my network: I am looking to speak on the use of technology, especially CGMS, and the need for ensuring it is used appropriately in the healthy and active population. The marketing buzz is getting people going in the wrong direction!

@AmyMcGrathKY @PeteHegseth I am happy to provide further explanation if you would like. It should help clear up some of the confusion.

@AmyMcGrathKY @PeteHegseth Once they move into the operating force however, they have administrative PFT/CFT in the Marine Corps that was to be monitored given everyone already holds the occupation. Pete Hegseth is looking for all who hold the occupation to have a PFT/CFT of 70% of the male standard.

It’s fine to set standards however you want. That’s not the issue. What’s false is Hegseth’s continued narrative that combat standards were somehow lowered for women. They were not. And for the SecDef to lie about that is a slap in the face to all women who have served in combat roles. Thanks to @TheWeekendMSNBC for having me on this morning.

@GDLeahy Thanks @GDLeahy ! Interestingly, this is spot on with what we have been doing for over the last 20 years. Today the goal needs to be implementation! That is the sticking point!

Interesting research! @KristaAustin

@GDLeahy It depends on multiple factors including how early it begins, how long it is sustained and how it is incurred. Some will also just be more "resilient" and have consistent improvements in performance without losing health.

As someone who was directly coached by Bela & Marta Karolyi, who began their coaching careers in the U.S. in 1981, I experienced the intensity & demands of their decades-long influence firsthand. Their methods led to successes on the competition floor but often at the cost of athletes' mental & physical health. As we transition from the Karolyi era to prioritizing well-being over medals, especially during this time of reflection on our country’s independence, we must proceed with care. This shift is essential. While it is not an exact science, it is possible to support athletes' health while nurturing their competitive spirit. We must exercise caution, constantly evaluating how to achieve the ideal balance. Let us seize this chance to create a balanced approach, where triumphs are measured by well-being as well as medals, embodying the true spirit of freedom & progress we celebrate on Independence Day. 🇺🇸 ❤️🤍💙

@JoshCox I have the coffee cup :)

Just over here trying to drink my coffee on Good Friday. Yes, I feel old.

Help support Benjamin Keller's goals of repeating at the Junior World Cup and Championships with the goal of again producing medal winning performances for Team USA. Long term, he is preparing for LA 2028 gofund.me/ce9c2f43

@GDLeahy @DFPhysio Yes, this is not surprising given women would be smaller and receiving the same MREs. I cannot access the paper but would be interested to see total caloric intake versus expenditure.

Interesting new research! @KristaAustin @DFPhysio

"The risk factors for BSIs are well described, but their aetiology is very complex particularly in the multi-stressor military environment." @ShawnArent @KristaAustin @jheilesonRD @ACSM_EOPIG @ACSM_Military jsams.org/article/S1440-…

Recovery should always be a top-notch priority for all of us. Enjoy this educational and entertaining episode. #TriDotcoach #teammadden #TriDotstories

Thank you @des_linden for beginning to share your story....this is so important for endurance athletes to understand: runnersworld.com/runners-storie…

@GDLeahy @ACSM_EOPIG @ACSM_Military You are on top of things as usual with all these articles. But are we really surprised at the findings? I’m not 😉

"Severe vitamin D deficiency during the winter season is common but has no negative effect on physical performance in young, physically active men in military service." @ACSM_EOPIG @ACSM_Military @KristaAustin pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36205086/

Interesting results! @KristaAustin @hirschkt

Stigma and vague symptoms leave many athletes struggling for answers. trib.al/eJRsLvD

A tough topic that deserves more attention. Appreciate the athletes who shared and hopefully this will drive further discussion on the topic of thyroid function in athletes. More elites sharing their story will highlight the prevalence in the population. lnkd.in/eBgrabZw

@GDLeahy @ACSM_Military @ACSM_EOPIG @_T_R_Gr_ I agree with a good number of what is stated but we already have the science and just need to implement it! 😉 When will the doors open for this to happen?

@ThornfieldOf @TStellingwerff @DrKateAckerman @SorenMeeuwisse @ShePowerSport @PamMooreWriter @IdaHeikura Thank you for sharing! It is important these messages get out there. I am hoping it inspires one of my younger athletes to share as he wants people to be aware of the ED amongst males as well
