Nothing better than when you coach a @ParaAthletics World champion who completes their training before staying at the track in the dark to mentor the squad juniors.

🇦🇺 2-0 🇹🇷 Winning and losing is part of football. Respect should be too. Disappointing to see Arda Güler walk away without acknowledging or shaking hands with the Australian players after the final whistle. Moments like that say a lot about character. Turkey have some outstanding footballers, but sportsmanship matters just as much as talent. The Socceroos earned their victory and deserved that respect. Take the loss, shake hands, and move on. That’s football. 🤝⚽️ 🎥 @iHQGuler

You have to be mad if your not watching the @Socceroos at the @FIFAWorldCup ratings for all other sport should be 0 @AFL

Throw back to @athsvic Albert Park 5km road race feeling the burn. Playing around with some AI.

One of the all time greatest days in @Socceroos history. Hopefully a few more days like this coming up
12.06.2006 🗓️💚💛 It’s been 20 years since we made history at the #FIFAWorldCup with a dramatic victory vs Japan 👏🇯🇵 First-ever goals scored ⚽️ First-ever win secured 💪 ⚽️ Tim Cahill 84’, 89’ ⚽️ John Aloisi 90 2’ #Socceroos #OnThisDay

Is this the biggest choke of all time? @spurs were in total control first half then somehow managed to lose.

Some crazy numbers here. Average $64mil USD. My biggest contract was $60k AUD as a Paralympic Gold medallist
The new money on Patrick Mahomes’ deal is worth $239.05 million, with the total value now at $504.75 million from 2026-33, with the first four years being guaranteed at signing. All $504.75 million becomes guaranteed through contract mechanisms.   Mahomes can earn up to $522.25 through incentives and escalators. Beginning in 2027, when the new money begins, the deal averages $64M per year, setting a new NFL record for average annual value.

So good to see squad athletes improve and to see this legend Ali achieve a new Top speed pb two weeks in a row at squad training. Good things coming for those who work hard for their goals.

The level of Wealth exhibited in Monaco this week is nothing short of astonishing, this is a $5 million Bugatti parked untop of $35 million Yatch floating next to two Mega yatch 😭 What do I do to achieve this level of wealth? 😩

😂 The odds of landing in a fight with a kangaroo right after parachuting to the ground are pretty low… But if you're in Australia, apparently they're never zero.

The French hate air conditioning. So Paris built a 120-kilometre machine under its streets for producing cold. It’s called Fraîcheur de Paris, and it does for summer heat what district heating did for winter: centralise the problem. Instead of every museum, office, hotel, hospital and shop bolting its own cooling plant onto the building, Paris moves cold through pipes. The network sends water chilled to 2 to 4°C through buried supply lines. The water enters a connected building, absorbs heat through an exchange station, then returns at 12 to 14°C to be cooled again. It essentially functions with two pipes. One carries the cold out, the other carries heat back. The production plants cool the circuit from 12°C to 4°C. Some sites use the Seine as a heat sink. In colder periods, the system can use the river’s own temperature for free cooling, which means the machines work less and the electricity demand drops. The Seine water doesn’t become the building water. It stays separate, passing temperature across heat exchangers. The scale is pretty strange when you see it written down though. It's got 15 production sites, 4 storage sites, 120 km of underground network with 924 subscribers. This has resulted in 7 million square metres cooled, and 493 GWh of cooling sold. A cold utility running beneath one of the densest cities in Europe. The Forum des Halles has been cooled this way since 1979. The Louvre since 1986. Galeries Lafayette, Opéra Garnier, Hôtel de Ville, Station F, La Samaritaine and the National Assembly all sit on the same idea. Tourists stand in the Louvre looking at paintings while a municipal cold loop does part of the dull work below ground. The boring part is the breakthrough. Cold can be stored at night in chilled water or ice, then used during daytime peaks. The network is monitored from a control room with more than 125,000 control points. A delivery station inside a building takes 5 to 7 times less space than a standalone cooling installation and avoids the roof and façade clutter that turns cities into compressor farms. That matters because conventional air conditioning solves heat by moving it somewhere nearby. In a dense city, thousands of private machines mean thousands of outdoor units rejecting heat into streets, courtyards and roofs, plus refrigerants, noise, vibration and maintenance spread across every building. Paris’s public cooling network has a stated coefficient of performance of 4, against 3 for a wet standalone system and 2 for a dry standalone system. Against an equivalent set of autonomous installations, Fraîcheur de Paris says the network gives 100% higher energy efficiency, 35% less electricity use, 90% fewer refrigerant-fluid emissions and 50% lower CO2 emissions. The climate backdrop is the real reason this exists. Paris ran a full crisis exercise called “Paris at 50°C” in 2023. Météo-France’s 2050 reference trajectory for France points to heatwave days becoming five times more frequent, hot nights rising sharply in urban centres, and some local extremes around 48°C becoming possible. The city signed a 20-year concession in 2022 with Fraîcheur de Paris, owned 85% by ENGIE and 15% by RATP. The contract is worth a projected €2.4 billion. The plan is to extend the network by 158 km by 2042, add 20 production plants and 10 storage sites, and reach more than 3,000 subscribers, including hospitals, nurseries, schools and care homes. This is basically the infrastructure version of admitting that summer is becoming a public systems problem...

Winter track sessions in Geelong completing 4 sets of 100m sprint, 200m easy then 1200m fast. Good hard interesting set. Give this set a go and let me know what you think. Join the squad today to start the journey to achieving your success. #CoachLife

How did the @AFL not over rule this decision clear goal on camera.
That's a goal TOTALLY missed by the ARC? 🫣 The AFL's recent rule change, no longer calling back live play, robs Geelong of the opener. 📺 Watch #AFLBluesCats on ch.504 or stream on Kayo: bit.ly/4dBG0jk ✍️ BLOG bit.ly/49YpMhS 🔢 MATCH CENTRE bit.ly/4ffvQ9h

✨🇨🇳In many companies in China, there is a dedicated effort to recruit employees with disabilities, providing them with jobs and building inclusive workplaces. BYD, for example, has over 5,300 disabled employees (end-2025) and adds hundreds annually.
