@stevemagness It is all connected. Been working with athletes on this exact flight for nearly 20 years, it is a lot more than jet lag (as you mention). Tennis athletes do these multiple times per season. 510 views · 4 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

@stevemagness Regardless of who wins...atm looks like the 49ers, the Rams plan is crazy & stupid. I agree with you 17hrs flight cannot compare to 7hr US/UK. However I think the Rams will also struggle on the reverse simply because travel fatigue #1 & #2 flights + game + hype cumu 464 views · 2 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

As you watch the Rams vs. 49ers, if you want the science on long travel, circadian rhythm and performance, I got you. I think the travel fatigue and shifts in muscle tension are more important than the circadian rhythm: https://t.co/w2Q9XfJVBx 42.2K views · 86 likes · 12 reposts · 9 replies Open on X →

I love when ill-informed people post things like this hating running and their solution is... sprinting! They want a bunch of unskilled people to go max velocity Sprinting is great. But it's a very technical skill. And the injury rate is high for novices with zero technique... 22.4K views · 237 likes · 6 reposts · 15 replies Open on X →

All these biomarkers can be gamed. What can't be? Exercise. The reason he can't dunk, has to take an easy day instead of grind through... is because he's 49 and even with copious amounts of drugs...you can't fake it when it comes to your muscles, tendons, and lungs 33.5K views · 182 likes · 2 reposts · 17 replies Open on X →

Youth sports is one of the last places left where a family is off screens, outdoors, and around other people who know their name.

If I enter a race, I know it's going to be painful, that I'll want to quit, that it may be a grind The best way to prepare isn't to ignore that or hope it'll be easy. It's to prepare for the demands. Know the distance and course. Understand the pain and fatigue. No sugar coating 7.8K views · 155 likes · 10 reposts · 5 replies Open on X →

@stevemagness The best coaches eventually make themselves less necessary. If someone leaves with more agency and a larger sense of what is possible, the coaching worked before the result even shows up. 76 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

Coaching is one of the most rewarding jobs. You are changing someone’s perspective of themselves and what they’re capable of.

@stevemagness Have performance enhancing drugs, as in more than just bicarb, entered the conversation? I tend to be naive about things but Lance ruined it for me. 786 views · 4 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

@stevemagness I’m less sure at the high school level. Dispersion of training expertise amongst coaches is so much wider than before. At high school level I’d argue the depth of performance (maybe not the pointy end) is from: (1) Coaching (2) Shoes (3) Bicarb In that order. 3.8K views · 4 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →
