Wait a second...but we’ve always done 16 x 110s. Don’t tell Christian McCaffrey...I love it when athletes can articulate the training process better than the “professionals”

If hard work was truly THE secret to success then there’d be a lot more millionaires and more football teams not named the Patriots winning the Super Bowl. Hard work is a component of success and can actually be detrimental to it when not complimented by intelligent processes.

Before you invest in "hacks" why don't you try
✅ 7-9 hours of sleep
✅ Quality protein, veggies/fruit, healthy fats
✅ Lifting weights 2-3x/week
✅ >=120 min of Zone 2
✅ Build & sustain healthy relationships
✅ Mental health practice
✅ Early & frequent sun exposure

Coffee lovers, pay attention.
A recent analysis with over 400k people found that drinking 2-3 cups of ground, instant, or decaffeinated coffee/day is associated with a significant reduction in CVD and all-cause mortality vs. never drinking coffee (PMID: 36162818).
Coffee wins!

Toughness is task-specific. Training like a Navy SEAL won't develop the specific resilience required to excel at public speaking, being an NFL QB, or world-class chef. Training like a SEAL will prepare you to be a SEAL.

If this is true, this represents a paradigm shift in coaching. Kudos to Saban and others who continue to innovate and tweak their process. Never copy a model, because when you do you copy the errors. Be your own person, apply principles and iterate often.

According to Psychology professor, Dr. Gail Matthews, you are 42% more likely to achieve your goals by writing them down. Why? It brings clarity to the decision-making process, and it forces you to strategize for how you will achieve your goals.

If true, this is another reason why sport culture is irrational. Unless the ATC was hurting the athletes, were all factors considered - age of athletes, hydration, travel, physical prep, nutrition, maladaptation to psychophysiological stress, bad luck?

Amazing 24 hours. Competed for a World Championship in Jiu Jitsu, and lost to the champion.
Learned a lot about myself:
- Reaffirmed I can do hard things
- I am calm in the storm

- I have more to learn
- I am blessed with an amazing community

This is how the best do it...in simple terms, don’t start with your favorite exercises, what does elite performance look like and reverse engineer the process
If you don’t understand the destination, it’s nearly impossible to get there. We need to start at the end and reverse engineer.

Napping 101
1. Duration is less than 1 ultradian 90 min cycle, with 30 min being ideal
2. Don’t nap past 3 pm, or it can disrupt your nocturnal sleep pattern
3. You don’t have to fall asleep to get the benefits of napping

In my estimation, this is a huge gap in physical preparation & team/combat sport tech/tact preparation. Athletes aren’t exposed to the intensity of the event until the event and then we wonder why they seem “out of shape”.

The middle is not fast/intense enough for development and too hard to promote recovery. Just accumulating 'junk volume"

“Game Speed Cond” train the demands of the game! I stole the idea from
@RUGBY_STR_COACH
but we are not using it in a testing format. Difference is offense does a set number of plays while defense rest then vice versa. Sprint whistle to whistle jog back rest varies between reps.
