This is such a good one. @nealhenderson has been a coaching mentor of mine in cycling.

Not sure about the carrying thing but if Trevor likes it you will too.

Ensuring that coaching and training is appropriate for all athletes is key in keeping them motivated. This enhances feelings of competency. Why competency matters and how to encourage it is the topic of my latest post. The Power of Skill Appropriate Work open.substack.com/pub/grantholic…

There are a few jobs that my hat goes off to, because no matter how knowledgeable you are, everyone thinks they know more. Jobs like teachers, coach, and dieticians come to mind. Everyone is an expert. Because they are often blind to their ignorance.

How you talk to yourself matters. In one study on lifting weights, goal directed self-talk "enhanced performance by 43% once an RPE of eight was reached, resulted in 63% more repetitions, and demonstrated more efficient muscle activation patterns."

This is a particularly worthwhile listen. Lots of actionable things in this one. Thanks Brian

This week's episode was an interesting one for me. Sports psych is Grant Holicky's specialty not mine. But, I got to listen to him and Dr Zuleger talk about how to put it into practice. Their takes on visualization and goal setting weren't what I expected! fasttalklabs.com/fast-talk/get-…

Been a heck of a two weeks. Its been hard and tiring and stressful and sad, but I've also laughed and smiled a lot. All of these emotions can and are allowed to be present at the same time. Our job is to make room for it all. Read more of my thoughts open.substack.com/pub/grantholic…

Every Potluck one of us comments that "we may have jumped the shark," but this week's episode might truly be the one. G, RobertPickels, Grant Holicky, and I finally had our GI issue discussion. Don't look at me... I asked about holding onto wheels!

Gratitude. It’s a secret weapon for your happiness. More thoughts here. open.substack.com/pub/grantholic…

For the holiday, we thought we'd revisit one of the first Fast Talk episodes that we did on neuromuscular training. It was the first episode with Grant Holicky as our guest! It was a lot of fun discussing what's changed in that conversation since 2016! fasttalklabs.com/fast-talk/revi…

I’m amazed at how composed and chill I sound on this. Cannot believe it was 8 years ago.

Great study this. What we as coaches model matters. Not just for our player’s growth as people (which in and of itself is incredibly important), but to their performance as well.

What makes a champion? New analysis of over 6,000 athletes finds those who got to world-class, had during their youth: -more multisport than specialized practice -started their main sport later -accumulated less practice -Initially progressed slower than national class peers

Had a lot of fun with this week's episode of Fast Talk Podcast! Grant Holicky, Jared Berg, and I were talking about nutritional needs of Junior athletes, but we got into a bunch of interesting conversations including longevity vitamins and berries! fasttalklabs.com/fast-talk/nutr…

On your phone before performing? Research finds being on your phone before practice: -Impairs decision making in Volleyball players -Reduce training gains on swimming and endurance performance. Scrolling doesn't prime you for performing or learning.

We often mistake being serious with being dedicated. That's often not the case. We are our most dedicated when we are having fun and experiencing joy We often create teams & cultures devoid of joy in the misplaced notion that seriousness means we are more committed. It doesn't

The four elites that the US sent to worlds have a combined cycling salary if $0 its so hard to see Scott go, but its the right choice for sure. But look at that crowd. 35k+ at worlds. Cyclocross is worth sponsoring. velo.outsideonline.com/cyclocross/cyc…
