To simplify following the criminal justice news of the last 36 hours, I posted a set of 10 links to police brutality videos on Facebook
Can't do that here, obvs
So I'm putting them into a thread – at North Carolina, USA

The athletes are among the fastest in the world. The competitions are made-for-TV spectacles. And the millions in prize money comes almost exclusively from a Ukranian billionaire. Can the International Swim League fix swimming? wsj.com/articles/new-swim-le…

The secret is there is no secret. The secret is to stop paying attention to anyone who says they have a secret.
If you want to get stronger lift heavy things; rest; repeat.
If you want to get faster run; rest; repeat.
If you want to learn read; rest; repeat.

Be present.
Be kind.
Show love.
Know your values.
Act in accordance with them.
Everything else flows from that.

I’d like to weigh in quickly on everything that has been happening at @fina1908 world championships, specifically in the swimming events regarding the sun Yang allegations and doping in general. This will be a pretty long thread...

Just a reminder that if you are worried about any kind of performance "hack" and are not sleeping at least 7.5 hours a night you should probably stop worrying and go to sleep.

The average temperature at #Missoula from Jan 1-June 30 was 38.5 degrees. This makes it the coldest start to the first half of the year in 40 years (1979), and 12th coldest start since 1948.

Don’t finish a season with doubts, thinking you could have done more.
If you do, only do it once.
Learn, do better, keep it moving.

Focusing on marginal gains when you haven't nailed the basics is like building a beautiful penthouse on a flimsy foundation. When rough weather comes, the whole thing topples. Get the foundation right first:
-Sleep
-Regular movement
-Quality foods
-Community
-Consistent practice
