This isn't a strict rule for how everyone's center of mass should operate, but rather a starting point for understanding how we control movement down the mound.

Right before the national anthem for every OKC Thunder game, a faith leader gives an invocation for the whole arena to hear. "It not only honors God and acknowledges His authority, but also gives the rest of the league a glimpse into who we are." sportsspectrum.com/sport/bas…

Sauna benefits are dose-dependent The more frequent the sauna use, the more robust the effect For example, people who sauna 4–7 times a week have a 40% lower all-cause mortality compared to those who only sauna once weekly But if you drop down to 2–3 sessions per week, the benefit shrinks to 24% For the strongest cardiovascular and cognitive benefits, research recommends at least four 20-minute sessions weekly at 174°F

Our new article @japplphysiol shows arterial stiffness as we age is associated with lower diastolic velocity of the ICA in particular. This contributes to the lower CBF observed with age. Thanks to all the co-authors for helping push this paper through. doi.org/10.1152/japplphysiol…

Powerful reminder.
Powerful message here from Joe Mazzulla "I’m not a basketball coach. I’m just a person that shows up every day that helps people...I don’t really care as much about basketball as much as I care about the people next to me...My identity is not in what I do." #MVPMind

The ultimate goal is to create guardrails for athletes through targeted drills, catch play focuses, and in-game sequencing to better leverage pitch shape variability and build upon command.

Basic difficulties with Force-Velocity-Power method for sprint acceleration include: 1) most of the ground force applied is ignored, 2) speed can increase when power decreases, 3) the F-V relation presented for running is opposite the simultaneous F-V activity in the muscles.

As coaches, our job isn’t to give all the answers—it’s to inspire creativity in our players. By giving them space and asking the right questions, we help them develop the problem-solving skills they need to grow and adapt on their own.

Remember Dallas McPherson's monster season in 2008? His 42 homers remain an Isotopes single-season record. The most memorable was this walk-off blast on his birthday, completing a sweep of Sacramento!

Travis Beck would have been 45 today. He passed away from melanoma at 37. He was my mentor and Superman incarnate. Brilliant, deadlift >700lbs, VO2max >50ml/kg/min, calloused hands, and a soft heart.
