Who wants to start a series of schools based around movement, stoicism and behavior? 1) Having kids move more than sit. 2) learning how to focus on what they can control and 3) that their behavior will determine their success? @PDScoach @ttillette @VerbalVitamins @TonyRobbins

York City have 107 points at the top of the National League. Rochdale are 2nd and were on course to have 103 with 1 game left to play until this 99th minute winner away at Braintree. It now goes down to the last day, with Rochdale at home to York. 😳🤯

John Wooden shares a mindset that we all need to adopt every day. "Yesterday is gone. That'll never change. Tomorrow is yet to be." "How can you affect tomorrow? By today. That's the only possible way." "I tried to get each player to make each day his masterpiece." Don't get caught up in the past or worry about the future - make today your masterpiece. Then he shared advice he gave to certain players: "You've gotta put the past out. Good or bad, it's past - it'll never change. The only way you can affect the future is what you do today." You can't change yesterday. You can't control tomorrow. You only have today. Then he recited a poem by Vivian Larimore that he loved: "I've shut the door on yesterday, its sorrows and mistakes. I've locked within its gloomy walls past failures and heartaches." "And now I throw the key away to seek another room and furnish it with hopes and smiles and every springtime bloom." "I've shut the door on yesterday and thrown the key away. Tomorrow holds no fears for me, for I have found today." "Today is the day that counts. It's today." The present moment is the only place where you can truly make a difference. Don't carry yesterday's failures or worry about the unknown. Focus on what you can control.

@stats_feed That @MLS does not have promotion or relegation

What is something widely tolerated by society that bothers you a lot?

How Latte Laff cost $22 million is beyond me. @Boro must have been laughing all the way to the bank.

@elonmusk @grok Can you summarize this video into the main key takeaways to replicate?

Oh how I miss watching games on a terrace for these type of celebrations.

“Nothing will stop you being creative so effectively as the fear of making a mistake.” ~ John Cleese

John Lennox does a masterful job of defending God's existence.

There’s something about Al Pacino’s voice that makes everything he says so fucking memorable. First Team All-Shouter, next to my guy Philip Seymour Hoffman, who just so happens to share this scene with Pacino. The fact these two share this scene is a piece of Cinema history.

@elonmusk My son's personal account and sport journalism account has been blocked for inauthentic behavior. He is posting storys for soccer and we can't see why he is being blocked. Who do we contact to get this corrected?

BBC's Standing Room Only made some footballing predictions in 1994. How right they were...

“If the spread of reading represented the greatest transfer of knowledge to ordinary men and women in history, the smartphone revolution represents the greatest theft of knowledge from ordinary people in history.” I compress @j_amesmarriott’s superb new book into a quote tweet.

@X Why was my son's account cancelled as inauthentic? @CalumAEwing How can he appeal this nhenisnanyoung sports writer and shares a lot of content via his account.

"A coach can help you with your mistakes, but nobody can help you with your excuses." -- Buzz Williams

This is what athletes need to be taught.

Everyone needs to hear this... Michael Caine on his defining philosophy for life: Use the Difficulty As a young actor, he was rehearsing a play when a chair got stuck in the door and blocked his path. He told the other actor he couldn't get by the chair to enter the scene. The actor's response: "Use the difficulty...if it's a comedy, fall over it, if it's a drama, pick it up and smash it." This idea became a defining mantra for his life. "There's never anything so bad that you cannot use that difficulty...if you can use it a quarter of one percent to your advantage, you're ahead, you didn't let it get you down." I can't stop thinking about this... How can you use the difficulty you're currently facing? How can you embrace the struggle? How can you find flow through the friction? As with everything in life, control the controllable: The difficulty is already there. You can't control it. But you can control how you react to it. You can control your response to it. You can control your attitude towards it. Lesson: Difficulty is inevitable. Use it.

Winning teams understand that confrontation is not dysfunction when it protects the standard. It is commitment. It is care. It is leadership. The difference between average and winning is this: average lets the little things slide. Winning confronts them.

British nicknames are an unregulated industry. a 5'6 tradesman called Anthony is professionally known as Shetland Tony. a man who lost an eye is called Keth. a quiet man wore a yellow jumper once and became Mumblebee. what's the best nickname you've ever heard

“I refuse to lose mentally” Rafa Nadal gives himself permission to falter technically…but he’s adamant about his grip on his mental game… “𝐈’𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥. 𝐈’𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞. 𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭. 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐦𝐲 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭” This is why I ensure the competitors I work with put mindset first going into a competitive game. That isn’t to suggest they ignore the technical, tactical, physical. On the contrary, putting mindset first is a call to better ensure optimal technique, tactical dominance, physical prowess. “𝐈’𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥. 𝐈’𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞. 𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭. 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐦𝐲 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭” Mindset…in the form of attention, intensity, and intent…is mind and body. It’s from head to feet. It’s every action and every behaviour. It’s every movement and every motion. “I refuse to lose mentally” And so Rafa Nadal, when he competed, would go again and go again and go again. He would go again and again and again…nothing and no one would remove him from his High Performance Mindset… 𝐀𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤, 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐞, 𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐧𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭..

31 years ago today: Crystal Palace. Molineux. And two of the Greatest Stanchion Goals Of All Time. Watch, and listen, to them in all their glory. Then wait for that sensational final frame. This is Art.
