Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is a legend. A 5-time 100m World Champion. A two-time 100m Olympic gold medalist. But minutes before the Olympic semi-final, she walked away. She had a "panic attack." Even the best can get overwhelmed by pressure. Here’s what that moment reveals…

Fortnight is the new sandlot Kids have retreated to video games because it's the one place where adults can’t interfere, control, or critique And it's the one place where they can find autonomy & connection. That used to be sports....But adults ruined it... Bring back play:

What makes us good is often what prevents us from being great I ran 100 mile weeks in HS. I didn’t take days off. I did a 100mi week circling the top of a cruise ship. I was obsessive And it made me very good. But that same obsession is what prevented me from the next step:
The "interference effect" is a classic example of a research idea being overplayed in real-world training prescription. And should not be a concern for most people most of the time. Unless your only performance limitation is muscle hypertrophy (the exception). Endurance work…
Youth sports in the US are a disaster driven by egos & money. 70% of kids drop out of sports by 13 Fear of failure & pressure to perform from parents & coaches is one of the biggest reasons We need to do better Here's my youth sports manifesto for parents. It's important:
You know who doesn't allow trophies unless everyone gets one in youth sports? Norway. You know who is excelling at the highest level in sports? Norway. The "participation trophy" complaints are BS. We ARE achievement focused in the US in youth sports AND schools. And it…
