Interesting stats about how people operate their cars…wonder how many of us also operate ourselves this way?! Great to see FSU sport psych professor Dave Eccles’ research on the importance of rest for high performance featured in this Time article. https://lnkd.in/eKV-4ix4

CALLING YOUTH ATHLETES IN BRACKNELL --- We are a new youth strength and conditioning facility, here in Bracknell, and we want to support the local sporting community. We specialise in training elite youth athletes from as young as 6-years old. S&C must be started at an early age to help athletes maximise athletic potential and give them the best chance of avoiding injuries on the field of play. This is not widely supported by the UK’s fitness industry, as most gyms won’t allow athletes access to resistance training if under 16. This is a big problem we see for our Ice Hockey players, as well as youth athletes of all sports. We started our facility in Bracknell to provide a safe space where the local young athletes can learn how to train and particpate in strength and conditioning. Resistance training is a skill that takes time to learn, our youth need to start as early as possible so they’re ready to excel when competetive sport intensifies in the years approaching senior play. --- Our youth S&C structure: •Training FUNdamentals (Ages 6-10) | The start of the strength & conditioning journey - Have FUN in the gym - Learn Fundamental movement patterns - Improve Resistance Training Skill Competency ____ •Learn to Train (Ages 11-14) | The resistance training education begins - Physically prepare to play sport - Learn the core barbell movements -Maximise training adaptations during rapid growth spurts ____ •Train to Compete (Ages 15+) | Physical preparation for the competitive climate - Physically prepare for high-level competition - Learn advance training techniques - Meet sports-specific strength/power standards --- For clubs and schools, we provide sports specific S&C workshops or private team S&C sessions so members of the club can train together. For individuals, why not apply to become a THS Academy member. Our classes range from athletes 6-18 and run 5 days per week of an evening/Saturday morning. For any questions, please reach out to us via a DM or email [email protected].

Listened to Mark Bennett MBE 's discussion with ⚽️ David Charlton🏌️‍♂️about "The Characteristics of High Performance Athletes". I do recommend you listen to it. Two actions from me: 1. I will be encouraging my son to listen to this ASAP. He has a dream like many young people to go pro, and it's very insightful in terms what is the difference between a Leisure Athlete and a High Performance Athlete is. (Hint, defined not by ability, but by behaviour). 2. I rewrote the summary (yes I'm slightly obsessive about this) substituting Salesperson for Athlete, Sales Manager for Coach, and Senior Sales Leader for Parent - In shocking news, it all still rings true. I particularly liked Mark's "Performance is a Behaviour not an Outcome" mantra. It really is. Whether your gig is sales or sport, amateur or pro, really worth a bit of your time. https://lnkd.in/dTJeEENg

How do we know HUNGERBALL (Hia Pōro) delivers on its social mission of getting people to move, play & connect together? 💡 An independent Stakeholder Analysis which is part of an ongoing Social Return On Investment (SROI) Analysis by Dr Richard Wright of AUT School of Sport and Recreation identified four social indicators and a logic model that focused on the perceived importance of generating enjoyable, engaging and enriching experiences. 🔍 The social indicators were Physical and Mental Health, Mental Well-being, Individual Development and Social and Community Development. 🚀 Looking forward to see what the next stages of this project may bring as there is no better way of measuring our impact than evidenced-based independent research. 🧠 Would you like to experience the holistic benefits of Hungerball directly? Contact us via our website HUNGERBALL.com or DM me for we are always happy to be tested on our values and promises! #hungerball #sportsresearch #sportscience #socialimpact #findyourgame

❌Bullying has no place in sport. At the NSPCC CPSU we are committed to help clubs, organisations, coaches and athletes address and prevent bullying effectively. 🗝A key way to deal with bullying is to talk to the individual displaying the bullying behaviour; ensure that you explain the situation and reinforce that it's important to consider other people's feelings. Speak about why the situation occurred and how that individual can put it right. 🤝It's important to foster an inclusive culture within sport, and sometimes all it takes is a conversation. For more detailed resources about dealing with bullying in sport, head over to our resources page: https://lnkd.in/e2J-Y7uJ #SafeinSport #SafeguardingInSport #BullyingInSport
