Improving your life is simple, you move to an environment where you will be effortlessly surrounded by people who are stronger, smarter, wealthier, better than you; you get rid of your ego and actively seek to learn from them; and as the years pass, things will just connect.

A reminder from Clear Thinking on the difference between kind and nice

@nata1950 has done nothing for me. Not in 12 years as a member, and not in the year since I rescinded my membership, yet they continue to send me emails soliciting money. Shame on you guys.

UNDENIABLE TRUTH: Technology and data ARE NOT cutting edge or game changing. Understanding the data and its actionable- I repeat actionable- application to sport ARE game-changing. Practitioners, NOT technology and data, ARE the significant influence on performance and injury.

If you understand it, you don’t need to memorize it. If you don’t understand it, you don’t want to memorize it.

I think a big problem in the world of health and performance is you get people who are truly world class at marketing and whose primary goal is growth and popularity completely overshadowing those who actually know what they are talking about.

Working on another data dictionary today, I am reminded again how important these documents are in the research life cycle. Creating data dictionaries early on creates a roadmap for your entire project, leading to more high quality and usable data. cghlewis.com/blog/data_dict…

@esolger $5/month. Well worth it IMO

Fellow rehab specialists. Looking for best way to write my rehab programs and share with athletes. Trying to get away from paper rehab sheets. Love the idea of writing on them with my iPad.

It’s okay to be discouraged. It’s not okay to quit.

Bad mood? Exercise might help... Findings from months of data from 82 Fitbit users: 🔹 Physical activity (particularly low intensity) was associated with ⬆️ deep sleep & ⬆️ REM sleep latency 🔹 These sleep changes were associated with ⬆️ energy & ⬇️ stress

And people wonder why college programs can’t hire good professionals. We didn’t all disappear. There are more ATs than ever. We’re just not putting up with this. At a basic level, it’s cannibalism, and if administrators want to hire people they need to stop eating their young.

Before there was performance psychology for me, there was decision science. There was Danny Kahneman. Fair to say I may not have ended up here without Thinking, Fast and Slow. Lost a GOAT today.

Those who keep getting validation and attention without building substance get fairly delusional about their importance. Substance is only built when new skills are learned and increasingly hard problems solved.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞? On the left, a single nonreplicable study with sensational findings. On the right, a well-done meta showing time of day doesn't matter. Note the colossal difference in Altmetric Score (online attention).

Arrogance is what happens when you lacked the courage to pursue a truly ambitious vision. Difficult goals always teach you humility.

Never be totally right. Being right means you're done learning. You're closed off from ideas. It means you're satisfied with where you are and not focused on where you're going. Never allow yourself to be totally right.
