Of my 15 years on Twitter/X, this has to be my favorite thread to date. Masses of wisdom in there. Great thanks to all who contributed 🙏
"When was I the most happy & healthy?" is a question that I don't think we reflect on enough.
Common themes that stand out to me from the responses:
* Living somewhere nice - lots of beaches, mountains etc. 🏔️
* Lots of free time/not being over-scheduled ⏳
* Sharing that time with family/friends 👨👩👧👧
* Lots of physical activity of different sources - strength/cross-fit, biking, hiking, running, swimming, climbing, skiing etc 🏋️♂️ 🚴🚶🏊🧗⛷️
* Being on a quest/working on something big (America's Cup, Elite Ironman, A new business) 🎆
* A simple lifestyle (living in a van, studio apt etc) 🛖
* Low pressure job (lifeguard, river guide, ski instructor)/remote job/working for yourself. 💻
Things that I don't see mentioned very much:
* Crushing it at the office 🧑💼
* Making bank 💰💰
* Living in a mansion 🏡
etc.
Food for thought.

This is why I believe that the goal
Of athlete “development” really should be shifted to athlete retention. When we keep them in sport, they have a chance to keep learning. keep athletes competing, the better their chances are to go all in and get better. It’s up to them really.

A big misconception is that you need to be motivated to get rolling.
You don't.
Research—motivation often FOLLOWS action, not the other way around.
In practice—you don't need to feel good to get going; you need to get going to give yourself a chance at feeling good:

When looking at self talk in tennis matches, researchers found that winners & losers didn’t differ in the amount of positive self-talk that they used.
But match winners utilized less negative self-talk
Don't let your inner voice spiral towards negativity

The BBC's live coverage of people filing past the Queen's coffin is Peak Britain, I think. A queue estimated to reach 10 miles, covered like it's the Olympics. It's very orderly.

Hitting the podium to accentuate his point, Matthew McConaughey remarked on the life & death of Robb Elem. student Maite Rodriguez
‘These are the same green Converse … that turned out to be the only clear evidence that could identify her after the shooting — how about that?’

Over the last two decades, more school-age children have died from guns than on-duty police officers and active duty military combined.
Think about that.
For God’s sake how much more carnage are we willing to accept?

The brilliant Yaroslava Mahuchikh: world champion, despite it all.
"I want to show Ukrainian people are strong people. They never give up.
"Our military protect our country at home and today, I protect my country on the track."
It took her three days to make it to Belgrade.
