This is a well conducted study that sheds some light on the validity of the acute chronic workload ratio model that has been so widely adopted in sport. This is a must read...
ACWR dividing the acute load by a random generated chronic load or fixed values gives same results. We warned there was something wrong. In the preprint the details. Thanks to all my co-authors @avigotsky, @AaronCoutts, @Maurizi13707619, @Alan_McCall_, osf.io/preprints/sportrxiv/e…

Such admiration for how Brighton run their club. Short, medium & long term strategic plans, harnessed to a vision, mission, values, behaviours & beliefs. Their growth in 15 years is a credit to the organisation & no surprise they’re punching above the weight of their resources
Dan Ashworth Sporting Director at @OfficialBHAFC has long been supporter of VSI Sporting Directors Programme. Here he is speaking eloquently about his role #Sportingdirector #VSI @JNorthcroft @Fraserfranks @robert_huth @Craig_Honeyman @fcbusiness
Artists installed seesaws at the border wall so that kids in the U.S. and Mexico could play together. It was designed by architect Ronald Rael. ⁣ ⁣ Beautiful reminder that we are connected: what happens on one side impacts the other. 🇲🇽 ❤️ 🇺🇸 – at Manhattan, NY
