May your week be filled with good thoughts, kind people, happy moments, and unexpected blessings.⠀⠀

Some stranger somewhere still remembers you because you were kind to them when no one else was.

"If you are moved by someone, by someone’s work, by their friendship, anything, tell them. You don’t know how much they might need that ounce of encouragement, to feel noticed, to feel like their efforts are worthwhile.” ~Victoria Wright

⚡️⚡️⚡️ Electrical > Muscular Speed training = CNS training ⬇️⬇️⬇️ “Speed is the tide that lifts all boats.” Be GENERAL in the weight room. Be EXTREME in speed training. Be SPECIFIC in practice.

If you run, you have a “runner’s body”.

True confidence is quiet. Insecurity is loud. Inner confidence comes from evidence. Do the work to provide evidence. Insecurity tries to mask over lack of evidence with bravado and projection. Don’t be fooled by those who are loud.

Reasons you should be sprinting 1. You’ll get faster 2. You’ll improve your conditioning (higher max threshold) 3. You can build mechanics to lead to efficiency in output to improve conditioning 4. Improved mechanics to reduce injury 5. Boost lower body power Go SPRINT

“Never ignore a person who loves you…”

Remember

This is well worth reposting. Lifting / strength is important but it might not be making you faster. dpfaff

Dear Sprint coaches, STOP worrying about a kid being or getting into shape!!!!!!! SPEED IS THE FOCUS! If you have a good training plan, and your kids work hard THEY WILL GET IN SHAPE AS A BY PRODUCT OF THE PRESCRIBED WORKOUTS! Speed creates endurance! Rant over!

Serious question. Why do we always insist on lifting with feet flat on the floor? That’s not how we move. Genuinely curious. Looking at David Grey’s stuff and thinking about Christian Korfist ‘s “spring ankle” stuff and thinking “what if the way we always did it was wrong”.
