For many people, landing toes down increases injury risk. You won't believe how it came to be a sneaker industry standard to have heels 10mm above toes: truehoop.com/p/ballistic-ch…

In a ​new paper​, researchers argue that: “a primary cause of the rise in mental disorders [in youth] is a decline over decades in opportunities for children and teens to play, roam, and engage in other activities independent of direct oversight and control by adults.”

Older athletes often have success even if their physical gifts have waned slightly because they let go of the stuff that weighed them down. They stop caring about -the noisy voices of others -chasing external validation -trying to “prove” themselves They perform out of joy

People like David Goggins out here saying you have to be angry all the time to be great. Meanwhile, Steph Curry is in year 17 of slaying the NBA with a giant smile on his face. Intensity and joy can coexist. People who say otherwise don't know what they're talking about.

I, a person who at one point watched the entire Altis360 library in Norman, OK back in 2018, tried to keep an open mind towards the info that a majority of readers of this book who would be blown away it. I was still awestruck by the story of P3. @TrueHoop did a great job

If you haven't read Ballistic by @TrueHoop yet, you're missing out. The book profiles @P3sportscience founder Marcus Elliott and reads like a novel while teaching like a textbook. P3 has been decades (literally) ahead of the pack in data-driven training and athlete evaluation.


Why @coachthorpe thinks the Pacers will win close to 50 games (Vegas says 38.5) even though they lost key starters in Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner: truehoop.com/p/win-totals-f…


Vegas suggests the Milwaukee Bucks will win 45.5 games this year. @coachthorpe thinks more like 30, but has a reason. truehoop.com/p/win-totals-f…

I wrote the book on developing toughness. One example I used was how the US military realized (and research backs up) is that over relying on “old school toughness” backfires. It leads to worse discipline, lower mental toughness, etc. why? Because when fear is the primary…

Hegseth: We're empowering drill sergeants to instill healthy fear in new recruits ensuring future war fighters are forged. Yes, they can shark attack and toss bunks, swear and yes they can put their hands on recruits
