@mindsetmachine Whenever I had a sprinter run a really fast hundred, I liked putting my palm down on the track and then pulling it away quickly as if I had burned my hand. That was my way of acknowledging a really impressive performance.

16-YEAR OLD RAN A 10.04 🤯

A cool quote from the Greek poet Archilochus: "We don't rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training." (The Navy Seals use this line)

@FeelYouHappy How do you not smile after seeing this.

That's why dogs are the best friends.😍

@khnh80044 Moments like this provide memories that will last a lifetime.

Baby girl waits for her father every day with his truck to hug and help him. 🤗

If you had him what would you name him?

Sports psychologist Michael Gervais notes the following: "Talent and ability are mostly equal. The difference is in the head. High performance is 90% mental."

@FansAnatoly Wow...I'm lucky to pick my nose with index finger...

Bruce Lee unbelievable strength

I believe coaches who post on this forum are truly committed to helping colleagues improve the meaningful work of helping others perform better.

I really agree with this Daniel Pink insight. "The single biggest motivator," he says in Drive, "is making progress in meaningful work." I believe coaching or helping coaches is indeed meaningful work.

@Crazymoments01 Hard to have a bad day after seeing this wonderful gesture.

The police officer seemed heartless for destroying the dog’s only shelter — but later returned with a surprise that changed everything!

@Kezamoon This is definitely a day-maker for me.

everyone have to respect soldies❤️

@awkwardgoogle What's amazing is the precision of his foot strikes considering how fast he is running.

When you don't give your brain time to doubt itself

A day I felt good about doing a non-Sunday double post... The innocence of Dominican nun grade school humor during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962: Why are soldiers tired on April 1st? They just had a March of 31 days.

How to avoid being an April Fool: June Pilcher notes that lack of proper sleep results in a "smorgasbord of performance deficits" for athletes. "Motivation, memory, learning focus, reaction times, and emotional control all suffer." Hell, here I thought that was just old age.

Ecercise simplicity: A JAMA study found that those who could perform 40 push-ups or more had a 95% lower risk of cardiovascular disease. As Dr. Jordan Metzl concluded: "The more push-ups a person can do, the healthier that person tends to be."

@Fred__Duncan More good stuff to add to my "Dunc-tank" of training wisdom.

There’s no single best exercise for rate of force development. The answer is covering the spectrum and understanding why each piece matters. RFD has two distinct ends. The early phase is neural…it’s about how fast your nervous system can recruit motor units and produce

I like this old Zen master expression: "Even a dull pencil is better than a sharp memory."

Don Greene points out that putting a pen or pencil to paper is a powerful exercise that has a greater impact on your brain than typing on a device. "Writing things down," he notes, "requires your full attention and engages both sides of your brain."

MONDAY FUN DAY I like this Sandra Ackerman insight: "There's a powerful relationship between hand motion and memory, which means, for learning, pen and paper triumphs over laptop and keyboard every time." I find that accurate.
