I’m right with him.
The number one ranked golfer in the world, Scottie Scheffler: "I'd much rather be a great father than be a great golfer." Worth watching this entire answer as a man who's reached the pinnacle of his sport wrestles through what really matters in life.

It’s time to stop saying “lactic acid” forever…
Muscle acidosis is real and it decreases performance significantly. However, Lactate is NOTthe reason for muscle acidosis. Free thread depicting the role of lactate during hgh intensity exercise: 🧵😉 👇

Good message for youth hockey players (and parents and coaches) 👇
KIDS: Not every player can be Nathan MacKinnon on their team. But you can be Parker Kelly. Check out this 6on5 sequence where Kelly blocks five shots. That’s not a typo. Five shots in one shift. Parker Kelly is not going to play on the Avs' first line. But you better believe he's earned the trust from his coaches and his teammates to play a role somewhere on the team. Turn the volume up and listen to the Avs' bench after he blocks a few of his shots. Amazing. If you can't lead your team in goals or points, you can lead your team in gritty plays and heart. It's a way to get in the lineup, stay in the lineup, and play a big role for your team winning a championship.

For youth sports: It does not matter how good a kid is at a sport until after they go through puberty. There is no such thing as an 11 year old sports star. Do not over-index on early promise. Focus on exploration, fun, and cultivating interests. Not performance.
