@JeremyFrisch This is ace

Learn to climb, master the floor: Barbell Presses Bench press Jerks Front squats Cleans Snatches Overhead squats Chinups All require prerequisite hand/wrist/shoulder strength and flexibility. Before mastering the barbell, it's a good idea to master the floor and climbing, which for young developing athletes is a great option to develop upper body strength and mobility. #LTAD

@pbasilstrength Warm up

Is your warm up not doing anything? Jumping jacks and hamstring stretches alone won't cut it I have a free guide explaining the how and why to prime your athletes with your own warm ups To get it: 1 Retweet this 2. Reply “WARMUP” below 3. Follow me I’ll send it to you

Every time the Tennessee Titans player DeAndre Hopkins' scores a touchdown, he delivers the ball to his mom Sabrina Greenlee, who is blind. It’s one of the best traditions in sports. The whole story is heartbreaking. Seventeen years. That's how long it has been since she lost her vision when a woman she didn't know threw acid at her face, blinding and disfiguring her in a bout of jealous rage. Greenlee was a single mother of four in South Carolina, caught up in abusive relationships, hustling to survive. DeAndre was 10 years old. Over time, she regained her sight in spurts, but it disappeared completely a few years ago, just as her son was emerging as one of the NFL's brightest stars. Since then, millions of people have watched the now Tennessee wide receiver dive for otherworldly catches on the national stage, racking up more receptions through the first six seasons of a career than any other player in NFL history. If her son scores, she explains, her daughter will help her stand up and lean over the barrier so she can accept the football from Hopkins. This ritual serves as a reminder that, while she can't see her son, he still sees her -- and he wants the world to see her too. “That ball symbolizes so much more than people ever could understand”

@Mr_Tennis_Coach Interested. Squash coach

I've been working on developing a free resource for coaches getting started with the CLA. I'm looking for a few coaches that would be interested in taking a look at some of the content I've developed so far so I can get some feedback on it. If you'd be interest comment below

@JamesTate121 Try the are

You can support James here I'm raising money for my 5-year-old son James with Down Syndrome to get to doctors, buy diapers (he will be in diapers till 7 or 8 ), wipes, medical supplies, and to explore the world. He needs 24/7 care & I am his caretaker. gofund.me/dd80d345

Little Man Tate says GOOD MORNING and happy Wednesday. 🐪(AKA hump day) James is feeling happy and healthy today & gets to go swimming at his summer school. James has his swag on today and Friday he gets evaluated again to see how many words he speaks, can't wait for the results.

@supermanuelsaez @markmanson I feel the same!

@markmanson Good one, Mark. Thinking about this and I think, in my case, it is FEAR that holds me back. Fear of... -being alone -not belonging -upsetting people

Cut the crap. Literally, cut the unnecessary distractions out of your life—delete apps, unfriend and unfollow toxic people, stop committing to activities you don't care about. Life is too short.

@jpeeden865 @stevemagness ThNks so much!

@SquashWilliams @stevemagness Here is the google scholar link that will take you to pdf scholar.google.com/scholar?q=What…

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

@jpeeden865 @stevemagness I can’t open this unfortunately. Do you have any other links?

@DanAbrahams77 Well please don’t stop what your doing! I only use Twitter for resources to challenge and test my current coaching bias and have learnt a ton from your content. Thanks!

@SquashWilliams I really appreciate that Graeme. Thanks so much. Overwhelmingly positive comments with a few less than savoury characters being silly about it. One or two disappointing coaching views that are misinterpreting it (perhaps deliberately)

In the video below Burnley manager Vincent Kompany is coaching one of his centre backs In this thread, I'm going to take you through a model of learning accompanied by some teaching techniques that could be used by Kompany to better help this player learn his coaching points 👇

@Marianne_D1 Will this be recorded? Would love to watch!

Hopefully this will be as enjoyable and informative as the last one 😊

@DanAbrahams77 @Doug_Lemov That is because you out out great content that provokes thought and growth. You are my go to podcast!

I’m delighted to announce that The Sport Psych Show podcast has passed one million downloads Wow! 184 episodes…mostly committed to discussing academic sport psychology…and now getting over 10,000 downloads a week! Thanks so much to my guests for their incredible knowledge

@shanmatt72 As has been said above. Here if you need a chat.

@SquashyMT @PDScoach 100%. Will send you a DM with my number.

@SquashWilliams @PDScoach I'll certainly be setting one up for coaches within Gloucestershire and you're more than welcome to join us in that if you wish to?

First bespoke masterclass in ages yesterday; delivering to parents, coaches & players. Awesome that everyone observed, heard & felt improvments in intensity, engagement, dialogue 👊

@SquashyMT @PDScoach if there is a whatsapp group which I know Mark likes to set up I would love to be involved to share experiences I have had using his ideas to date.

@PDScoach @SquashWilliams there's always an opportunity to be the first and lead the way. There was no way we were letting this go to waste. Great to have you with us Mark, loads of great conversations being had about the day with plenty around implementation of what was delivered.

@PDScoach Would love to chat to you about it more.

@SquashWilliams Yes another sport I know nothing about 🤣

@PDScoach I have been a big fan of yours and squash traditionally a little behind as very little outside knowledge. What I love about your work is that it really develops and puts at the forefront the art of coaching. Great work! Really looking forward to online course.

@ollylogo Let’s set a date! I have had some successes and some challenges which keeps it exciting! Got a late holiday in and now cleaning up after being struck by a Tornado but would love to catch up in the next few weeks.

@SquashWilliams Thanks Graeme, hope you and family are well. Be great to catch up to see how you are getting on.

What a lovely welcome home from these 2🌟♥️ after #TeamGB Swimming most successful Olympic Games ever. Family time now.
