π¨ Pre-season is coming β the perfect time to review your goals.
Will those goals become results, or will they remain another list of good intentions?
Too many pre-seasons focus only on short-term fitness, without giving athletes a genuine sense of purpose or clear long-term direction.
π― Iβm now running face-to-face goal-setting sessions for teams and individual athletes, using world-leading techniques from elite sport and business to create clear goals, stronger habits, sharper focus and greater belief.
π€ For individuals, the focus is on personal improvement, continued development and creating a clear pathway forward.
π€ For teams, the sessions create a shared purpose, stronger collective belief and a clear direction for the season ahead.
π Suitable for all sports.
π© DM to book your pre-season session.

When your @whoop band thinks you are cycling, but you are actually pushing your disabled wife in her wheelchair @WHOOP π β π΄ββοΈ Adrian, that was a smooth, low-key spin yesterday β perfect βeasy milesβ with just enough work to count. This 15-minute cycling session sat mostly in low heart rate zones (around 121bpm on average), matching your 30-day baseline almost exactly. That tells me your aerobic system handled the effort easily β great for gently adding movement without taxing recovery.

π¨ @FIFAcom & @UEFA teams at @FIFAWorldCup itβs going to be hot in America - Iβve researched cooling mitts in depth and found a proven edge for heat battles.
Palm-cooling tech (CoolMitt-style) uses your handsβ natural radiators to drop core temp 0.5Β°C in just 3β5 min on the sideline. Stanford-backed studies show it delays fatigue, boosts endurance 10β30%, and speeds recovery in 30Β°C games.
Will be interesting if any squads use the tech? π€·ββοΈπ§ π

A sure sign that your arm is NOT in ideal shape and vulnerable?
Poor RECOVERY.
Especially after a start or mound outing.
Best way to ensure your arm has GREAT recovery?
Condition it well with consistent, βLow Intent, Volume Throwingβ.

The brain is not a machine
Forget simple chains from genes to brain to behaviour; neuroscientists are overturning decades of dogma. | iai.tv/articles/neuroscienceβ¦
Award-winning neuroscientist Nicole Rust argues that the brain is a dynamic complex system, more like the weather than a machine, whose parts interact through feedback loops that can't be studied in isolation.
The revolution is also practical: a bold cohort of experimentalists is uncovering mental health treatments that go beyond traditional drugs like SSRIsβsuch as psychedelic therapy, which may be able to rewire brains trapped in destructive loops.
