25+ years in high performance have taught me a few things.
I've coached Grand Slam champions, professional athletes, and elite performers across multiple sports.
I've worked inside international governing bodies, led teams, coached athletes, and spent 8 years on the Dunlop/Adidas International Advisory Board.
I've also made a ton of mistakes along the way.
Here's what I believe:
Personal responsibility is non-negotiable.
Talent isn't enough.
Motivation isn't reliable.
Mental toughness isn't something you simply have.
And the zone isn't something you chase.
I'll be talking about athletes, coaching, leadership, psychology, and high performance.
The biggest issue in the @aflwomens & to some extent the @AFL is the lack of willingness or foresight to recruit experts from other sporting domains.
Essendon will not be commissioning an external review of its AFLW program, but instead broadening the scope of its annual internal review.
Injuries, lack of development and an unclear game plan/brand of footy - where did it all go wrong?

My daughter raced the 🇯🇵 Junior Road Championships yesterday in pouring rain, resulting in numerous riders hitting the deck.
Luckily she wasn’t one of them & finished 9th on a hilly course that doesn’t suit her.
Most importantly, she thoroughly ENJOYED the day, which tells me my emphasis on ensuring she equates the bike with fun is paying off.

The amount of low-IQ morons who support pieces of trash like BRS is exactly why the world is so immoral and fucked.
Support the police/military? Really?
The person giving the order may set the wheels in motion, but the person who carries it out bears the greatest moral responsibility. They are the ones who make the killing of innocent children a reality.
You don't get to hide behind the chain of command.
You're a human being with a conscience, not a fucking robot.

Very disappointed in @TamauPogi not setting the right example for young riders who look up to him like my 15yo daughter.

I’ve been away at a couple of big international tournaments over the past few weeks helping players with their mindset, and it still amazes me how many pros neglect this side of their game.
The amount of negative self-talk, even when joking, and the number of players who struggle to control their emotions still staggers me.
Some of it comes down to not being taught the tools to manage these things, but at this level, you have to take responsibility for yourself.
Too many players tie their identity to their win-loss record. They lose perspective and let a bad result dictate how they feel about themselves.
For me, a big part of coaching is helping players understand that their results don’t define them. What matters is how they approach today, how they respond to challenges and what they do with what’s in front of them.
You can’t change yesterday or control tomorrow. You can only control what you do today.

He’s a low IQ order following immoral piece of black hearted rat trash 🗑️
Australia’s most decorated soldier, VC recipient Ben Roberts-Smith, was driven to the brink of suicide by a relentless witch hunt.
Now Anthony Albanese’s government is trying to lock him up for life.
He hit absolute rock bottom after years of allegations.
“There were many times I thought it might be a better option for my family if I just took my own life,” he said.
What stopped him was his kids, and the realisation that suicide would let his accusers claim victory and brand him guilty forever.
For four years he stayed silent during the defamation case, trusting the system. He was wrong.
Nine slaughtered his reputation while he said nothing. Now he’s speaking out because the scales are being tipped against him.
“The public has a right to know how the scales of justice are being tipped in favour of the government.”
Albanese’s prosecutors have charged him with five war crimes murder counts over 2009 - 2012 engagements. Roberts-Smith insists no civilians were killed, every one involved Taliban fighters.
Judges and bureaucrats are second guessing split second battlefield decisions from lounge chairs.
Australia’s highest decorated living soldier faces the prospect of dying in prison while Albanese’s government presses ahead.
He trusted the process once. He’s not doing it again.
The public deserves to see every step.
I stand with Ben Roberts Smith.

“Great post by Inàki.”
I’ve coached female pro athletes to 10 international wins across multiple sports, so I’ve seen firsthand how the menstrual cycle can influence performance, consistency and the ups and downs of an athlete’s career.
Every athlete is different. There’s no universal formula, which is why understanding the individual, recognising patterns and adapting training when appropriate are important parts of HP coaching.
As a male coach, it’s also a subject that requires sensitivity, respect and trust. You need to create an environment where athletes (female) feel comfortable having these conversations without embarrassment or judgement.
It’s not about making assumptions or using the menstrual cycle as an excuse. It’s about understanding the athlete in front of you and having the experience to coach the whole person, not just the performance.
I believe the menstrual cycle is an important variable to consider when planning training for female athletes across ages, something many coaches (and athletes themselves still try to bypass…)
There is still insufficient scientific evidence to conclude that the weeks surrounding ovulation are consistently the best for tolerating high training loads, or that the premenstrual phase necessarily leads to reduced performance, I have observed these trends in MANY of my female athletes.
How can he sue?
He CHOSE to take it.
Should’ve done his research & his due diligence.
I don’t think ya’ll appreciate enough the significance of what is happening here.
It appears we have a very real chance that an active NFL player could sue the team he is under contract with for putting him in a life-threatening position / making his medical condition worse.
Not just any active NFL player, but a starting QB and recent Super Bowl MVP.
A potential lawsuit would rock the NFL, and call into question injury reporting, international game travel protocol, reporting, and a potential coverup.
Put this clown in the same bucket as the other pseudo intellectuals like Jordan Lewis & Phil Davis (I’d rather listen to Eddie Betts)
Fremantle captain Alex Pearce has refused to back the club’s major sponsor Woodside Energy and urged a vocal group of fans who are in opposition to their multi-million dollar deal to continue applying pressure on the club’s board.

Stop with the “people we’re forced” crap.
People made choices.
He made the wrong one.
Jalen Hurts would become a folk hero if he sued the NFL and federal government into oblivion. The NFL forced pro athletes to take an experimental drug and now his days of playing are most likely behind him.
The Feds created the virus, hid treatments and ran a psyop on everyone.
Let’s see what happens.
