Playing one sport year-round and multiple other sports on top of that sport misses the point...That is still early specialization...overuse on top of overuse. One of the goals with the multi-sport athlete approach is to completely change sports and activities each season so that the young athlete gets appropriate rest and gets exposed to sport movements that are different from the previous sport...This creates a healthier more well rounded athlete. #LTAD

Be strict only with yourself. It was said that the true majesty of Marcus Aurelius was that his exactingness was directed only at himself: "Tolerant with others," he reminded himself, "strict with yourself."

Enjoyed listening to this and reflecting on how much we accomplished with @Webb97Lift as a department. If you think movement should be in a PE curriculum take a listen. Movement scholars High performance Movement fundamentals KS3 PE homework open.spotify.com/episode/5YJ…

Kelvin Giles is where I heard it first. If the person in front of you can’t run, bound, catch & throw we probably don’t need to worry about a tactical masterclass! Great work @Minion_Kev1
I remember a quote, but not who from. 'If you can't do it Physically, you will struggle to create it Technically, then not be able to apply it Tactically' Wise words.

We are on this earth for one thing. To fundamentally be a good person.
What good is our success if it comes at the expense of others? What good are we if we can’t help others? We're all bound up in this thing called life together. We share this planet. When we forget that, or lose track of how our own actions affect others, injustice flourishes.

LTAD Principle #4 Maturity Matters. A lot. What if I told you there was 1 factor that influenced injury risk, strength, power, speed, muscle mass and stature? You would feel pretty silly to ignore it, right? 1/2 @athleticevouk

Help me share the message that young athletes should not play with low back pain. Early diagnosis is the difference between potential bony union and non union
Bone stress injuries are a spectrum of responses in bone which is subjected to a repetitive stress that it has not trained for. In a bid to get stronger the bone lays new bone, but this takes time to mature and during that time is vulnerable to injury

You can’t experience the “rocky road to success” if you don’t even get to the starting grid.
Well done Dr Liam Sweeney on this FIFA Research Brief exploring how biological maturation selection biases can vary according to playing position in youth football. Thanks for your contribution Liam. See Link Below: fifatrainingcentre.com/en/co…

journals.lww.com/acsm-csmr/F… One of my favourite papers. It’s never too late to make a change. However it’s significantly easier (and you might not need a change), if we give youth the experiences and tools to lead a healthy active life. Aerobic-skill-strength
The distal thigh of a 40 something. Imagine losing this much muscle mass already and being able to remain active into your 70s and beyond. It should be very hard to imagine. Because they won’t be.
