New episode on the optimal exercise intensity, duration, and frequency to prevent and reverse heart aging! In this podcast episode, Dr. Benjamin Levine discusses his groundbreaking research, which reveals how three weeks of bed rest can have a more detrimental impact on fitness than 30 years of aging. Dr. Levine details his research findings that show how a structured exercise regimen can reverse up to 20 years of heart aging by improving both shrinkage and compliance, as well as enhancing aspects of vascular age by 15 years. He also discusses how resistance training and aerobic training have profound differences on the heart, what risks are linked to high-intensity exercise, why recovery is key for the heart, how exercise duration and intensity affect coronary calcium levels, what exercise dose increases Afib risk, and so much more. This episode is a must! Available on YouTube, Spotify, X, and everywhere else. Links in comment.

Inside Kaizer Chiefs' Second-Half Tactical Dominance📝 Kaizer Chiefs produced a far more balanced and purposeful attacking display in the second half. There was greater tactical flexibility in their movement, improved intensity in and out of possession, and better decision-making in the final third. The constant rotation of positions made it difficult for Kruger United to maintain their defensive shape, creating more space and allowing Chiefs to attack with greater fluency and control. A far more dynamic display in attack with Vilakazi mostly receiving inside that wide. ■ Chiefs showed patient but purposeful ball circulation, refusing to force attacks but moving the ball a bit quicker than usual. There were quick passing sequences, one-touch combinations and improved third-man movements which manipulated Kruger's defensive block, creating spaces to penetrate in the half-spaces and from both flanks. We made it difficult for them to break out and progress when we decided to press. ■ Ethan Chislett was the tactical heartbeat in the 10 role. He freely roamed across the final 3rd, creating overloads between the lines and dragging defenders out of position. His pressing was good, contributed directly to the sequences that led to both goals. His movement allowed both Baartman (LW) and Vilakazi (RW) to invert into central pockets without sacrificing width. ■ The chemistry between Chislett, Baartman and Vilakazi created constant positional rotations that made Chiefs unpredictable. As Kruger narrowed to protect central spaces, Monyane and Frosler aggressively attacked the wide channels, stretching the defensive block while remaining tactically disciplined after offensive actions. You'll see Frosler moving into a more inverted role when Monyane pushes to cross and vice versa. ■ Despite committing numbers forward, Chiefs remained structurally balanced. I was impressed with the aggressive counter-press which saw the team recover possession very quickly, preventing Kruger from transitioning and also it allowed us to sustain relentless attacking momentum. The goals came from continued attacking momentum, and good ball circulation. ■ The team built attacking moments on controlled possession, repeated ball circulation and well balanced off-the-ball movement rather than individual brilliance. Every ball recovery immediately initiated another attacking phase, pinning Kruger United deep until the pressure eventually produced the goals that sealed the victory. This team delivered an impressive performance despite being without key talents like Asanele Velebayi, Mduduzi Shabalala, and new signing Langelihle Phili. ■ The depth, structure, and quality on display should give Kaizer Chiefs supporters plenty of encouragement. Kaizer Chiefs of coach Fernando Da Cruz...📝

4v4 Intensive Finishing Game: #SundayShare Want to inject high-intensity finishing and rapid transition play into your training sessions? Here is a breakdown of 4v4 small-sided game used at the professional level. 📌 The Setup ✅Format: 4v4 plus Goalkeepers ✅Pitch Area: Compact zone around the penalty box/final third to maximize high-pressure scenarios and quick shooting opportunities. ✅Objective: Score quickly under intense defensive pressure with minimal touches. 🔑 Key Coaching Points ✔️Sharp, 1-2 Touch Combinations: Speed of thought and execution are critical in tight spaces. Eliminate unnecessary touches before the shot. ✔️Aggressive Transition: The moment possession changes, transition instantly from attack to defense (and vice versa) to exploit disorganized lines. ✔️Composure Under Pressure: Finishing with speed requires clinical technique—encourage low, driven shots corners away from the keeper. ✔️Off-Ball Movement: Quick overlaps, clever dummies, and blind-side runs create the separation needed to get a clean look at goal. ✔️Attacking 1v1 Take-ons: Exploit isolated defenders by using change of pace, body feints, and sharp skill to attack space and create immediate shooting windows. #CoachingMethodology #FinishingDrills #SoccerTraining #TacticalAnalysis #FootballCoaching #SoccerCoaching #CoachEducation #PlayerDevelopment #PossessionPlay #Transition #FootballTraining #UEFA #GameBasedLearning #TrainingSession Rod Wilhelm Rob Porter Dave Francis Lee Cosgrove Peter Prickett | TheBeardedCoach The Coaching Family Breakthrough Soccer The Sporting Resource Rob Porter Kevin Middleton | FootballGPT Jamie Birch SessionShare 𝗙𝗖𝗖 𝗛𝘂𝗯 | 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 Peter Thornton.🇺🇦 Ross Whitehead Coach Luca Ray Power Coach Matt Bambrick Dave Kerr | Vibes FC John Mingus Footy_Coach_Canada Steven Ventura JUST COACH 205 Academy Zoglug UU™

Continental Football EDITION🗣 Pre-Match Analysis: Kaizer Chiefs vs. ZESCO United📝 ■ Setting the Tone in the CAFCC Today's game is our opportunity to show that we can perform as a solid team and secure a result. We’re playing at home, the supporters will be filling up the stadium, and from how ZESCO performed at their home ground, they haven’t shown enough quality to make us fear them. We need to be brave, show faith in the quality in the team, come out to play, and win. We won’t compromise the result or the principles of our game. We have the players, and domestically, we’ve been getting results. On continental turf, we’ve had contrasting outcomes: loss, draw, win. Now we have the chance to make it 2 wins in a row, giving us momentum for the next fixtures. The coaches have positively influenced games with substitutions, and today, on top of that, we need a strong start, willingness to control, and dominate the match to create better scoring opportunities. ■ Tactical Adjustments Our consistency has been an issue; we often change midfield pairings, like the one of Ndlovu and Maboe, too frequently. In the Betway Premiership, they’ve shown better composure and chemistry. Very exciting once they settle in possession with attacking flair, in continental football, our control is limited because we often have a mentality that forfeits possession. This mentality means we don’t always seek to control the game, and that limits us during moments when we need composure on the ball. We can’t always rely on beautiful football, but we can't also rely on kicking the ball forward aimlessly to win. Some opponents will punish us if we allow them to control the game more than necessary. It’s crucial to choose our moments well and not let opponents dictate play, especially when they have the quality to hurt us with that. ■ Attacking Performance In our previous match against ZESCO United, our attack was blunt. We only managed 1 shot on target, which happened in the 2nd minute. That shot resulted in a goal from a rebound: Silva’s header hit the upright, and Pule Mmodi was onside to tap it in. Apart from those 2 moments in the 1st 2 minutes, we failed to test the goalkeeper for the rest of the match. The keeper made 0 saves, and we only had 5 attempts, with just that 1 goal as the only attempt on target. Our attacking quality was lacking; we couldn’t find Silva, and we got no spark from Mayo as a 10. Even with substitutions at halftime, we couldn’t improve our offensive quality. Our attack needed reshuffling, reviving, and clearer tactical blueprint. ■ ZESCO United’s Threats ZESCO United’s primary attacking threat comes from their left-hand side, particularly with Chilangoshi at LB and Kampamba at LW. Kampamba is a dynamic dribbler who consistently challenges opposing fullbacks, making it essential for Kaizer Chiefs to maintain defensive discipline. Keeping Solomons on the pitch will be crucial for effective defensive recovery. They also have strong CB. Today, we suffocate them with pressure, maintain attacking intensity, fight for every ball, and we make better decisions in the final 3rd. An early goal✅️ The defense and Gk have done a lot of good work. It's time for the midfield and attack to show more consistency. ❤️✌🏾

Player Profile: Khanyisa Mayo[27]📝 Position: RW/RF/CF Foot: Left Club: Kaizer Chiefs FC Kaizer Chiefs has made another bold move in adding quality to the teams attack. Khanyisa Mayo provides immediate and long-term attacking solutions for the club on the right. 1. Technical Qualities Mayo is a skillful, left-footed attacker with a profile built for modern, high-intensity attacking football. ■ A very direct winger, always looking to advance play instead of recycling possession. ■ Excellent at carrying the ball through pressure, breaking lines, and forcing defenders into retreat. ■ His dribbling and progressive runs add verticality to the team’s attacking structure. Shooting and Passing: ■ Strong shooting range when cutting inside from the right. He provides that unpredictability to the attack with his quality to strike the ball from range. Consistently attempts to feed the box: goals, assists, and key passes. A finisher and creator between the lines. Positional Versatility: ■ In a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1, his best role is as the right forward or right winger, cutting inside to shoot or combine. He can also be effective stretching play and still carry goal threat and creativity. ■ As a No. 9: While not his best role, he is capable of leading the line. He uses his pace to run in behind. He can compete but lacks the physicality to hold off defenders, though his finishing is good. ■ As a Second Striker[442]: A role that plays better to his strengths than as a 9. He is comfortable operating between the lines, combining with midfielders and a traditional box striker. His mobility, creativity, and shooting ability allow him to function as the link player, collecting the ball, supporting the primary striker, and creating or finishing opportunities. This ability to operate both wide and centrally makes him tactically flexible, giving Chiefs options in various attacking structures. 2. Physical Attributes ■ Pace & Explosiveness: Quick acceleration makes him a constant outlet for balls in behind. ■ Strength & Balance: He is strong enough to hold off fullbacks, sustaining attacking sequences under pressure ■ High Intensity: Matches the tempo of Chiefs’ pressing and counter-pressing game. We do most actions with a lot of intensity, and his explosive nature will be very much welcomed in our attack. 3. Tactical Fit at Chiefs Under Coach Nabi, Chiefs are shaping into a side that plays with directness, intensity, and aggression across all phases of play: ■ Pressing & Counter-Pressing: The team applies immediate pressure after losing the ball. Mayo’s speed, defensive work rate, and forward momentum align seamlessly with this system. ■ High-Tempo Attacking: Chiefs don’t rely on slow possession. Attacks are vertical, sharp, and quick. Mayo’s instinct to drive forward, dribble at defenders, and attack space makes him an ideal fit. ■ Attacking Personality: His ability to provide not just progression but also the final goal, final pass, and decisive action elevates Chiefs’ attacking efficiency. Mayo’s game is inherently aligned with protagonist football: high tempo, forward intent, and productivity. 4. Experiential Value ■ Continental Experience: Spent a season in Algeria with CR Belouizdad, scoring 6 goals from wide positions. Notable not just for the numbers but for adapting to a challenging cultural and tactical environment. ■ Tactical Growth: North African teams are disciplined and organized, with compact defenses and structured pressing. Mayo sharpened his decision-making, spatial awareness, and ability to operate against tight blocks, preparing him for high-level CAF competitions. ■ Mentality: At 27, he blends maturity with hunger. His willingness to take risks reflects confidence and attacking intent. Yet to reach his peak, now is the perfect time to step up, showing the quality glimpsed at Cape Town City. Mayo joins Chiefs as both a system player and a game-changer. A top signing by the Glamour Boys! 📝

Uzenenye!📝 Possession with purpose: You have a very competitive team here. You just have to fix the goalscoring problem. ■ We haven't lost our ability to create chances, which is important. They just come from clear repeated attacking patterns and control than just kicking the ball forward. ■ We are able to progress both wide and central. We still need to work on looking for that "better option" when we have the ball around the opposition box. ■ We create chances through good movement and passing. ■ There are moments of patience on the ball, and there are moments of continued direct attacks. We put pressure on the opposition defense persistently. The ideas are not dominant as yet, but they are clear. We are quick once we find those pockets to progress. We have those small triangles in wide areas. ■ In Central midfield, they will improve with time and a few other clear factors we need to solve. ■ We need to improve the balance in some key areas. Work on our rushed passes. Even in quick transitional moments, we sometimes rush a pass that kills the attacking momentum. You still need well-timed passes and a good selection of passes in key areas to create better scoring chances. So decision-making will forever be at the center of everything we want to achieve in the field of play. ■ Sometimes, your teammate hasn't really completed a run for you to release a pass, but we make that pass anyway. Small details. ■ Once our match sharpness and overall team chemistry improve, we will increase the quality of key actions across the field. If you don't abandon your principles to dominate and control games, you will create chances, and it won't be by luck, but it will be by design. ■ The team will find rhythm, and when results come, they will be consistent. ■ We have worked on the spaces between players to some degree, and you can see how quickly we win the ball back. There is little space for the opponent to breathe after winning the ball. Even in the Netherlands, we never sat deep, we always pressed every angle on the pitch. ■ We are aggressive, and the close proximity relationships we are building are helping us in regaining possession quickly. ■ They are not yet perfect, but we have made some progress from how tactically confused we often looked last season. We are patient this side. There is good progress in the team. I believe in teams that grow, and growth doesn't move from zero to ten. You need to be patient and build each step at a time.

Uzenenye!📝 Possession with purpose: You have a very competitive team here. You just have to fix the goalscoring problem. ■ We haven't lost our ability to create chances, which is important. They just come from clear repeated attacking patterns and control than just kicking the ball forward. ■ We are able to progress both wide and central. We still need to work on looking for that "better option" when we have the ball around the opposition box. ■ We create chances through good movement and passing. ■ There are moments of patience on the ball, and there are moments of continued direct attacks. We put pressure on the opposition defense persistently. The ideas are not dominant as yet, but they are clear. We are quick once we find those pockets to progress. We have those small triangles in wide areas. ■ In Central midfield, they will improve with time and a few other clear factors we need to solve. ■ We need to improve the balance in some key areas. Work on our rushed passes. Even in quick transitional moments, we sometimes rush a pass that kills the attacking momentum. You still need well-timed passes and a good selection of passes in key areas to create better scoring chances. So decision-making will forever be at the center of everything we want to achieve in the field of play. ■ Sometimes, your teammate hasn't really completed a run for you to release a pass, but we make that pass anyway. Small details. ■ Once our match sharpness and overall team chemistry improve, we will increase the quality of key actions across the field.

🚨 OPERATIONAL UPDATE: ISRAEL–U.S. WAR WITH IRAN - Reporting Window: Last 24 Hours There’s a widening gap right now between the language being used publicly and what’s actually unfolding underneath it. You have ceasefire talk. You have negotiation chatter. But when you look at the mechanics, the system is still tightening. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚓ AT SEA: PRESSURE BECOMES ENFORCEMENT The clearest development in the last 24 hours is at sea. The United States is now actively enforcing the blockade, not just signaling it. Thirteen commercial vessels have already been turned back after direct warnings from U.S. naval forces, backed by carrier strike groups and full air support overhead. That’s not symbolic pressure. That’s control being asserted in real time. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🏭 INSIDE IRAN: ADJUSTMENT UNDER STRAIN Iran, in turn, is no longer just absorbing that pressure. It’s adjusting to it. Tehran has halted petrochemical exports entirely, redirecting supply inward to stabilize domestic markets after sustained damage to industrial infrastructure. At the same time, the internal environment remains locked down. The nationwide internet blackout is still in place, each day setting a new record for the longest ever recorded, with measurable economic damage already mounting and day-to-day activity inside the country increasingly constrained. This is not collapse. But it is a regime shifting into a defensive footing internally. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🇱🇧 LEBANON: A PAUSE WITHOUT CONTROL Up north, the Lebanon front is sitting in a fragile and somewhat artificial pause. A 10-day ceasefire framework is technically holding, and civilians are already moving back toward southern areas. But the underlying conditions haven’t stabilized. Destroyed infrastructure is being rapidly repaired, including key bridges over the Litani, allowing movement back into areas that were deliberately restricted just days ago. At the same time, Israeli leadership continues to signal that operations will resume or expand if Hezbollah is not pushed back. And Hezbollah itself has not clearly aligned with the ceasefire structure. So what you have is not resolution. It’s a pause that neither side fully controls. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔗 SUPPLY LINES: ACTIVE, BUT CONTESTED What’s happening around Lebanon reinforces that. A shipment of roughly 6,000 explosive detonators was intercepted in Syria en route to Lebanon, likely intended for Hezbollah. That’s a small detail, but it carries weight. Because it shows two things at once: *⃣ Hezbollah’s supply lines are still active. *⃣ And they are no longer moving freely. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌍 REGIONAL POSTURE: SILENT ALIGNMENT And zooming out, that pattern holds across the region. There is no meaningful external relief for Iran right now. Gulf financial channels are tightening under U.S. pressure. Shipping lanes are being enforced, not contested. Supply corridors are being disrupted, even if unevenly. Even countries that are publicly critical of U.S. and Israeli actions are not stepping in to offset the pressure in any material way. That silence is not neutral. It’s alignment without exposure. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🕊️ DIPLOMACY: ACTIVE, BUT UNCHANGED Diplomatically, nothing has simplified. There is still discussion of extending the ceasefire window with Iran. There are still backchannel efforts moving through intermediaries. But the actual points that matter haven’t moved: Nuclear capability. Missile systems. Proxy networks. Hormuz access. Sanctions relief. And now there’s an added complication. Iran continues trying to tie the Lebanon front into the broader negotiation, while Israel is treating it as a separate problem entirely. That disconnect is still unresolved. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🧠 WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS If you strip out the headlines, what changed in the last 24 hours is straightforward: 1. The U.S. moved from pressure to enforcement at sea. 2. Iran shifted further into internal economic stabilization mode. 3. The Lebanon front held, but only in a way that looks temporary. 4. And across the region, no one stepped in to relieve the pressure on Iran. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ BOTTOM LINE Nothing decisive happened today. But the structure tightened again. More enforcement. More constraint. More pressure being applied from multiple directions at once. And until something gives on the issues that actually matter, there will be no resolution.

Kevin Garnett says he used to play hurt because he HATED losing: “I’m out there, I suit up every night. I suit up every night. Banged up, hurt, whatever. 100%, 30%. Ain’t no numbers, it’s in my heart, and you can’t measure that.” John Thompson: “What’s driving you?” “That I’m losing. That I’m losing. That I’m losing. I’m losing…” “In my personal world I’ve dealt with some bigger things than this, but this is the priority at hand. This is what’s in front of me. These are tears of pain.” John Thompson: “Tears of pride.” “A lot of pride. It’s eating me up.” “This isn’t golf, this isn’t tennis. It ain’t about me. It’s about us. It ain’t about nothing else I’m doing. I’m just one of the pieces… It ain’t about what I’m doing. Evidently what I’m doing ain’t enough to get us wins.” “I don’t really like showing emotion because it exposes you. But you feel me? I’m a strong dude… I do give a lot man. I give everything. It ain’t because I got to, It’s in me, it’s how I am, I came out the womb, I’m built like this.” “You don’t play ball because you got to, you don’t run sprints because you got to, I don’t go in the gym and put up extra shots because I go to, I ain’t gotta do none of that. It’s how i’m built. This is me. It’s how I’m built. I’m built like this.” John Thompson: “Have you ever regretted staying here?” “Nah. Nah. Never. Nah man. Big John I just don’t like to lose man. If we were sitting here playing dominoes, playing cards, running back and forth, and you kept beating me, whatever we doing, I hate to lose. I hate, to lose.“ “I don’t care what it is, that’s my biggest problem. I can’t accept losing. And I won’t accept losing. I won’t ever accept losing. Ever.

Siphesihle Ndlovu and the Double Pivot: Tactical Analysis📝 Out of Possession Siphesihle Ndlovu is a box-to-box midfielder in its purest form. Defensively, he was excellent at recoveries, closing gaps, cutting off passing lanes, and making well-timed interceptions. His anticipation and positional awareness allowed him to support the defense effectively. He maintained a high work rate, consistently tracking back and covering spaces behind the press, which was crucial for stabilizing the fullbacks, especially with Monyane looking flat. Even during periods when his influence in possession dipped, Ndlovu continued to deliver a solid shift out of possession, working alongside Maboe to break up play, win tackles, and apply pressure on the ball. In Possession Ndlovu embraced his box-to-box role, always looking to support the player on the ball, always trying to move the ball forward with line-breaking passes. He carried the ball whenever space allowed and maintained a vertical mindset, favoring forward passes over sideways or backward options. This approach helped the team establish attacking momentum early on. However, in the final 3rd, Ndlovu’s actions leaned too heavily towards shooting. Maboe created more chances[3] than Ndlovu[1], though Ndlovu was the more adventurous between the 2. He limited his actions far from the box. While Maboe prioritized creating opportunities in the final 3rd, Ndlovu often opted to shoot even when he had a teammate in a better position. His pass timing and selection was a concern too. This was especially problematic since Silva was often isolated, with no supply, and so the team needed more support in the final 3rd. With improved judgment in these moments, our quality in the final 3rd would have also received a boost from the midfield and, overall, avoid wasted opportunities. Ndlovu🤝🏾Maboe The double pivot provided balance and control, especially in the first 30 minutes. They kept excellent distances between, denying Arrows the chance to settle & play through midfield. This dominance was most evident early on, with the team controlling the game physically and tactically. Their chemistry was exciting. Whenever they combined, the entire attacking flow looked clean and well-balanced. They were very direct, which demanded high physical output due to the constant need to support forward passes and track back. This lack of patience in possession may have been influenced by Arrows’ aggressive pressing, forcing quicker decisions and increasing physical demands. Or it's part of our high intensity attacking football the coaches favor. After 30min, the team’s attacking intensity dropped, and the combinations between Ndlovu and Maboe became less frequent. This loss of rhythm allowed Arrows more time on the ball, suggesting fatigue in midfield, a trend that continued into the 2nd half. Tactical Considerations and Impact on the Partnership We didn't show much improvement coming from half time. Maboe was becoming less and less influential. The turning point came with the substitution of Maboe for Mabaso. Although this change was relatively late, considering how less influential the midfield remained after the break, Mabaso had an immediate impact. His energy revived the midfield and brought Ndlovu back into the game, demonstrating that Ndlovu still had the legs and capacity to influence the match, what he needed was renewed support and intensity around him, especially with Shabalala offering limited influence as a 10. In the final 15 minutes, the team regained control, pressed higher up the pitch, and created better attacking moments. We looked like we could score a 2nd goal. The combinations returned, the forward passing improved, and Ndlovu once again became influential in driving the team’s play. Tactically, an earlier sub could have restored control and allowed those attacking moments to come before Silva’s sub. A good overall performance from Siphesihle Ndlovu📝 Video analysis with notes:

We just hit 800k followers!!!! What a fantastic moment to step back and reintroduce myself to both new and familiar faces. Aha m bu Janine, born and brought up in Zurich, Switzerland but, since September last year, proudly immersed in the vibrant life of Enugu, Nigeria. My family includes my wonderful husband Ezenwa; our adventurous twins, Chijioke and Ziora; our thoughtful Uche; and of course, our spirited Nnanyereugo, not forgetting Brutus, the most senior among us all, our ever-youthful dog! A huge part of my love for everything Igbo has been inspired by my amazing husband, Ezenwa. Not only is he a Nze na Ozo, earning me the title Lolo Anyanwu Ututu in Ala Igbo, but his love and passion for his culture have deeply influenced my journey into embracing and celebrating our beautiful life here. His support and love are the bedrock of my adventures and storytelling. For those who have just joined us, my blog shares my journey through the beauty of intercultural marriage, the joys and challenges of raising multinational kids, and my adventures in trying (and sometimes failing) to master the Igbo language after 16 years. I am a self-confessed foodie, diving fork-first into the rich flavors of Igbo cuisine, and an enthusiast for showcasing the stunning spots Nigeria has to offer. Despite what might seem, social media isn’t my main hustle. My day job is in an office, keeping things balanced, but my heart beats strongest for my side passions. I am a passionate children’s book author, with my first book, “Ala Nnam,” exploring our kids’ adventures in their father’s village and their discovery of Igbo culture. My creativity also finds its outlet in painting and photography, my personal retreats that I’ve yet to share widely. As we continue to build this amazing community, I warmly invite each of you to be part of this journey. Whether you’re here for the cultural insights, the art, the food, or to simply share in our story, I’m thrilled to have you with us. Here’s to the exciting journey ahead, together. Your support and curiosity fuel this adventure, and I can’t wait to see where this shared path takes us. #introduce #igbo #nigerwife #travel #anambra #isuofia #nwanyiocha

In all my years of broadcasting, I'd never gotten emotional on air until tonight. It was impossible to hold back the tears. Jack Piccione of Tappan Zee lost his father suddenly last Sept. 1. Matthew Piccione died of a heart attack minutes after playing pickleball with friends. He was 51. Over the last three years, I got to know Matthew Piccione fairly well. One day back in 2023, he asked coach George Gaine for my number so he could call me just to say thank you for calling out Jack's contributions during Tappan Zee's championship run. Jack was a role player who averaged maybe 5 points a game as a freshman. But he started and never came off the court. "I know he doesn't score a lot of points," Matthew Piccione said. "But you are one of the only people who appreciates what he does for the team." Matthew Piccione kept a very low profile at games and reinforced in his son to be the emodiment of all the things that make Tappan Zee basketball different than any other program in the state. Play unselfish. Defend. Be coachable. Defend. Draw charges. Pass. Sacrifice for your teammates. And, of course, defend some more. Nobody in the history of Tappan Zee basketball since I have been covering has ever played that role better than Jack Piccione. He's the best best defensive player in the program and is on an elite level of players I've been around in Section 1. When Matthew died in September, I worried about Jack. I wondered what his senior season might be like. The person most responsible for instilling and reinforcing the values that made Jack great was now tragically gone. Tonight, Jack Piccione scored 5 points in the Section 1 Championship game. FIVE. Yet not only did his team because of his performance, I had the honor of handing him the MVP Trophy to prove it. In the final 90 seconds of the game, I shared the story of Matthew Piccione and his passing. You will hear the emotion in my voice. It's genuine, not because of any relationship I had with him. You just can't be a sports parent and not relate to loving your child and always wanting what's best for them. Because here's what I am going to tell you. And I really want all parents to read this and remember it: Your kids' youth - not just athletics, but all of it - is short and it's precious. You don't get this time back when it's over. It goes way too quick. And some don't even get to see it to the end. You have a choice: You can spend this period of their lives stressing about how many points they score, what awards or accolades they receive, begging people to vote in the online poll for Player of the Week, emailing the coach and complaining about playing time or lamenting the number of shots they get in a game. Go ahead. You can make all of that important for yourself and your child. Trust me, you won't be alone in doing so. Or you can do what Matthew Piccione did. Sit in the stands and enjoy watching your children compete. Teach them that it's team above all else, stress what it means to sacrifice and ensure them that, when you do those things and have success, the feeling of hanging a banner will far exceed any of the personal accolades think are important. And, sadly, God might choose that you won't be around to see it all anyway. Matthew didn't get to give his son a hug after he won tonight. And Jack didn't get to see the pride in his father's face. Think about that. If you are a parent, try to put your child in Jack's shoes. If God forbid your child was confronted with the same tragedy, you'd want them looking back on this sacred period of their lives the way Jack will forever recall them with his dad. Tonight was complete validation for Jack Piccione and all of the things his father always told him. Jack scored 5 points and won the MVP on his way to becoming the most decorated basketball player in Tappan Zee history. Nobody has ever won more in a TZ uniform than the most unselfish player they've ever had. He wouldn't trade his career with anyone, either.

Marc Brackett spent 20 years at Yale studying why intelligent people are the worst at understanding their own emotions. What he found will change how you see yourself: 1. Most people cannot name what they are feeling. When Brackett asks a room to find the single word that best describes their emotion, over half struggle. We have never been formally taught to go deep into our emotional lives. We develop a sophisticated vocabulary for things we pay attention to, like wine, but almost none for our own inner states. 2. Emotions quietly control decisions we think are objective. Brackett had teachers grade the exact same middle school essay after being put in a good or bad mood. The grades differed by a full letter, sometimes two. When asked afterwards if their emotional state affected their evaluation, 90% said no way. It did, and they had no awareness of it. 3. No emotion is bad. Everyone is useful depending on what you do with it. Yellow, high energy, and pleasant, is great for brainstorming but terrible for careful decisions. Green, calm, and pleasant, is good for consensus building. Blue drives empathy. Red, anger, points at injustice, and can fuel passion if you channel it instead of being run by it. The goal is not to feel good all the time. it is to use each state well. 4. Jealousy and envy are not the same, and the difference changes how you treat them. Envy is wanting what someone else has. Jealousy is about a relationship, a threat to a bond you already have. It matters because jealousy tends to drive more aggression and violence, so the strategy you would teach a jealous child is completely different from the one for an envious child. Precise labelling enables precise action. 5. Telling someone to calm down, focus, or pay attention almost never works. Brackett points out we bark these commands at children and adults constantly, but we never teach the underlying mental processes for how to actually calm down or focus. Naming the desired state is not the same as giving someone the tools to reach it. 6. 80% of people rate themselves as more emotionally intelligent than the person next to them. which is statistically impossible. Self-report is nearly useless here because there is no reference point. Compared to his father, Brackett says, he is an emotional genius. Compared to the dalai lama, he needs work. Asking people to rate their own emotional intelligence has no validity. 7. 360 reviews measure your reputation, not your skill. When you ask other people to rate someone's emotional intelligence, what you actually capture is whether they like the person, not how skilled they are. The only valid measurement is watching someone solve real emotion-related problems, like decoding expressions or handling a loaded situation. 8. Emotions gate your ability to think and learn at all. A child worried about being bullied between classes cannot focus on the lesson. Brackett failed to focus on his own graduate school entrance exam months after his mother died, and only later understood it had nothing to do with his problem-solving ability. His emotional life was occupying the cognitive space the test required. 9. Emotion regulation is not just about managing negative feelings. We think of it as anger management or stress reduction, all down-regulating. But Brackett asks, who has ever taken a course in optimism induction or happiness maintenance? Regulation also means generating emotions you need, like a leader creating energy in a room, and maintaining good states when others try to pull you out of them. 10. Children with higher emotional intelligence do better on almost every measure that matters. less anxiety, less depression, less likely to abuse alcohol, drugs, and cigarettes, less aggression and bullying. They are seen as better leaders, are more attentive, less hyperactive, and perform better academically. The skill that determines academic performance most powerfully is emotion regulation. 11. The strongest sign of emotional intelligence in the workplace is whether people want to take you with them. Brackett had a Fortune 100 company's executives rate 100 managers, including one question: if you left the company tomorrow, would you do anything to bring this person with you? That question correlated more strongly with emotional intelligence than anything else. People want to be around those who have these skills. 12. Brackett hires on the coffee shop criteria. At Yale, he stopped looking at grades because everyone applying is already smart enough. What he looks for instead is whether, in the first 30 seconds, he thinks he would enjoy grabbing coffee with the person and just talking. That instinct tells him whether they are curious, creative, and know how to ask questions, the things schools rarely teach. 13. Creativity only translates into creative output when paired with emotional intelligence. Brackett cites research showing that people who are biologically more open to experience are only rated as producing genuinely creative work when they also score high in emotional intelligence. The reason is that creating means failing and being disappointed constantly, and without the strategies to manage that disappointment, the creative potential never gets unleashed. 14. The meta moment is a six-step tool for not being hijacked by emotion. Something triggers you. You sense the shift in your body and thinking. You take a breath to activate your parasympathetic nervous system and bring the hijacked state down, so your prefrontal cortex can work again. Then you picture your best self, the version of you that you want to be, and let that guide your response. Brackett jokes that six steps done well can help you avoid the twelve steps later. 15. When you are angry, you search for every reason to stay angry. Brackett describes how anger makes you dig up every past grievance, the vacation three years ago, the promise from last week, the thing from when your child was born. Anger is one of those emotions that hunts for justification. The meta moment is designed to interrupt that spiral before it compounds. 16. Seeing your best self is what makes the breath actually work. Brackett admits that taking a breath alone is not enough, because sometimes you take the breath and calmly decide to go for the jugular anyway. The missing piece is shifting your mindset by asking what your best self would do. He built this idea after a student called him the feelings master, and he started asking how the feelings master would actually carry himself in a hard moment. 17. You never regret taking a moment, and you always regret being dysregulated. Brackett is honest that even after years of this work, he sometimes ignores his own best self and ends up, in his words, sleeping alone on the couch that night. But he has never once regretted pausing to be his best self. The regret only ever comes from the times he let the hijack win.

Dalton Rushing is learning one of the hardest lessons in professional sports. Talent gets you promoted. Regulation determines whether you can stay there. Over the last month, Rushing has been thrust into a larger role while filling in for injured Will Smith. The results have been rough. Over his last 30 games, he’s hitting just .191 with a .280 OBP and .281 slugging percentage while striking out 28 times in 89 at-bats. The numbers only tell part of the story. For weeks, frustration has been spilling out at opponents and teammates, but most noticeably, at himself. Countless instances of bat snapping, helmet smashing, and head hitting have made him one to watch for all the wrong reasons. Wednesday night in Minneapolis felt like a breaking point. After the game, Rushing called his struggles “embarrassing” and said he’s a grown man who needs to figure it out for the sake of his team. There’s something admirable about that level of ownership. Some athletes never get there. The problem is that what we’re watching isn’t primarily a mental issue. It’s an emotional one. And emotions don’t live in the mind. They live in the body. The Dodgers are standing by him, but they also don’t seem to know how to help him. Dave Roberts has put an arm around him during tough moments. Veteran leaders have pulled him aside for chats in the dugout. By Dalton’s own account, his team is being supportive. However, his struggles are compounding. No amount of advice, perspective, positive thinking, or mindset coaching can resolve something that has become lodged in the nervous system. When an athlete becomes emotionally flooded, performance starts disappearing in places that statistics can’t fully explain. Everything from timing to decision-making is affected, and recovery starts feeling impossible. The system as a whole begins redlining. The ripple effects extend beyond Rushing’s own performance, too. Ohtani posted a 0.74 ERA through his first 10 starts with Will Smith catching. In his first three starts with Dalton Rushing behind the plate, that number climbed to 4.34. I’m not suggesting Dalton is responsible for all of that. Baseball is a team sport. But emotional dysregulation rarely remains contained to the athlete experiencing it. Catcher is a position built on communication, trust, rhythm, and relationship. When an athlete is stuck fighting himself, those struggles often bleed into team execution and chemistry. The ugly reality of modern professional sports is that organizations have endless technology, advanced analytics, biomechanics labs, etc., and yet little to no in-house capacity for helping athletes process what is happening inside their own nervous systems. Somatic and limbic system work gets back to the basics. It helps the mind and body stop antagonizing one another. It creates the conditions for freedom, flow, and access to hard-earned talent. What Dalton appears to need right now isn’t another conversation about mindset. He needs a way to resolve the emotional traffic jam that is preventing him from accessing the version of himself that earned this opportunity in the first place. — P.S. I train pro athletes, teams, and executives. I write about the intersection of somatics and performance. Ring the 🔔 to join the community!

Robert Macfarlane is an author and professor at Cambridge who writes non-fiction with the beauty of fiction. Some highlights from our interview: 1. Avoid things that dilute your sense of wonder. 2. Children are wondernauts. They continually voyaging in jay-dropping astonishment because of the freely given miracle of this world. 3. Raid old dialect glossaries in regional libraries for words that are precise, lyrical, and sometimes absurd. Take rionnach maoim, a Gaelic word for "the shadows cast on the moorland by clouds moving across the sky on a bright and windy day." 4. Why Robert loves the em dash: It’s liquid punctuation that flows both ways, unlike the hard bookend of a full stop period. Meaning can move against the current, eddy back up the sentence, or flow down. It's your most beautiful, fluid piece of traffic control for meaning. 5. Resist over-explanation. Sometimes, it’s okay to leave gaps in your writing so your readers can become your cowriters. 6. Don’t use big words to sound impressive. Use them to be precise. Sometimes, you can say more with the right four-syllable word than you can in four sentences. 7. For those raised on rationality, ask yourself: Has this become a prison? What can’t I see because of the blinders of rationality? 8. Take lots and lots of notes. You don’t need to write much. Just enough for little fragments to become threads of memory you can pull from to summon entire scenes once you return to your computer. 9. Don’t be scared of writing nonlinearly. You can build your books out of mosaics and edit by jumping up and downstream. 10. Edit your writing by reading it out-loud: the tongue trips on what the eye glides across, and the ear hears things that escape the usual systems of vigilance. 11. Abandon the goal of trying to “capture” your experience of nature. Lean into your perception of it instead and write about how you perceived it, not what it actually was. 12. How can you do it? Metaphor. Yes, metaphors are fundamentally about distorting reality but they can evoke something far richer than what people can see on their own. 13. His advice to writers: Ass in chair. Show up for work, every day, and put the time in. Yes, it can be “brain hurty” work but don’t run away from it. 14. When you end a day's writing, always know what the next sentence will be. It's like pushing off on a bike: you can wake up tomorrow with momentum instead of trying to start all over again. 15. In songwriting you learn to let language cross-pollinate in weird ways, which creates uncanny connections. What seems like a glitch becomes precisely the feature you need. 16. Rhythm in nonfiction does what fiction has always known. It works on the mind’s ear. We expect poetry to be rhythmic, but prose can use these same sonic tools to reach deeper down forms of knowing that bypass the analytical mind. I've shared the full conversation with Robert Macfarlane below, and the links for YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts in the reply tweets.
