Ski season starts. Early alarm, pancakes in race suits, first chair with Alpine Racing Collective. Long-term athletic development is built on mornings like this. #ARCskiteam #LTAD #skiracing

Week 1 of 30 runs in 30 days: 35.7 mi, all easy. The bigger change from 20 years ago is that I do an activation routine before the run and stretch after it and before bed. Here's the routine: jeffshiltmd.substack.com/p/s…

Proud ski dad. 5th overall u16 & 1st in u12 at IMD finals. Sports are great for life lessons…he was SO happy. It was a great opportunity to point out that feeling was the result of the hard work completed, even on the days it was less fun. You could see the wheels turning

In the midst of business trip to the Middle East, my most enjoyable run was a scheduled 1 hr walk completed as a high cadence shuffle in the wee hrs of the morning before flight home. Felt great, scenery amazing.

Anecdotal experience: usually see a hr elevation and mild symptoms the day before hrv depression with a viral illness. That initial day usually do workout. Don’t know if @Alan_Couzens @feelthebyrn1 @altini_marco have data that supports it.

@altini_marco would you consider splitting soreness into anatomic regions? I haven’t felt better in months in my legs and core, but my lats and tris are sore from strength w/o. I’ve plotted this on my HRV and is adversely impacting readiness scores despite normal rMSSD. ½

Might be one of the best things I ever read on youth athletic development...this is coming from an Olympic lifting coach Don McCauley.
"I'm not going to spend a lot of time in this book writing about the developmental holes I believe most U.S. athletes have because of improper preparation for high level sports performance most have received. Let me state this. If you are a pre-teen or teenage athlete who competes in four or five sports per year or unending competitive seasons, you are in an abusive situation, not athletics. If you haven't taken or been given time to run through the woods or streets or alleys with your friends, jump up on rocks, jump rope, wrestle anyone that came by, skate backwards, play hop Scotch, bale hay or chop wood, climb trees, jump off a swing for height and distance, play dodge ball, climb over a fence, play Sandlot football and do back flips and cartwheels for fun, you haven't been properly prepared for high competition levels in true power sports." (Don McCauley: Power Trip)
My thoughts on early sports specialization on LTAD is evolving. Focus should be in maintaining ample time, effort and focus on skill expansion out of primary sport, regardless of age. Avoiding skill sharpening should never be the focus. Subtle but impt. ½
Cool to see Motion Analysis play a role in the success of @WakeBaseball this year. @duganbiomech @TCHOrtho_Sports
