“You think to yourself that that person is the strong one. If he has time to ask me what’s going on with me, then surely he’s okay. But I’m old enough to know now that the strongest of us fight the biggest and the baddest and the most relentless demons.”
3 Questions…
“You good?, You ok? Do you need anything?”
Those 3 questions haunt me. They’re the 3 questions Naeshell asked me the day before he took his own life. What I regret most is not asking him those same 3 questions after he asked me.

For an organization, group, department, etc. to drive progress and innovation, no idea or hypothesis should be above respectful scrutiny/testing and discourse.

Published today in @IJSPPjournal along with my great friends @IrineuLoturco and @lucasa_pereira (open access): a well - deserved tribute to the brilliant and visionary Juan José González- Badillo , the pioneer of velocity - based training ( VBT ) . We discuss the velocity zones

When we say "we need male role models for boys", we don't mean some millionaire celebrity actor, podcast bro, or politically sanitised version of masculinity...
We mean teachers, dads, sports coaches, grandfathers, or just normal kind men.
We mean this –

Basic difficulties with Force-Velocity-Power method for sprint acceleration include: 1) most of the ground force applied is ignored, 2) speed can increase when power decreases, 3) the F-V relation presented for running is opposite the simultaneous F-V activity in the muscles.

I think this is what leads to a huge amount of confusion- practitioners don't seem to be able to discriminate external load-velocity/force- velocity r'ships & internal neuro-muscle-tendon functions. They're not 'surfing' any curves!
Replying to @ActivateGlutes
2/n But, this is force-plate data, not muscle force data and adaptation (in muscles) is driven by muscle forces (plus other muscle events) and neural adaptations are driven by the 'effort' we apply. The isokinetically derived F-V curve highlights some simplified concepts...

Periodisation works, if you’re an expert telling people it doesn’t, you probably need to revisit your methodology

How much do you need to change a physical ability? If you need precise technology to measure change it will have little transfer to ball sports. I want to be able to see that change, measure effect size (Cohen's D) and aim for >0.5.
