It was that cold that at half time I made hot carbohydrate drinks with hydrate90 powder and a kettle. It worked an absolute treat. 😂
Sleeping pills overuse and addiction is
not talked about in enough in football and sport in general. It is widespread and just gets brushed under the carpet like it’s normal.
🗣️ Jonjo Shelvey: "When I went to Turkey, I lived alone for 18 months. It was the hardest period of my life. I became addicted to sleeping pills. I’d come home from training and time just wouldn’t pass.
The city was predominantly Muslim, with only three restaurants. There were basically three things you could do: Starbucks, McDonald’s, Domino’s. I’d come home, stare at the four walls, and to kill time I’d take three or four sleeping pills and pass out. The next morning, straight back to training — just to make time pass.
Then it turned into an addiction. I moved to Istanbul and it was livelier. You could go out, but I was still on my own. I’m not the type to go out alone — I hate loneliness.
I said to myself, “If this keeps up, I’ll either turn to booze or the pills.” Booze isn’t good for a footballer, so instead of drinking I stuck with the pills. “At least I won’t gain weight,” I thought.
I’d turn up to training around 1pm. I’d eat at 3pm and that would be my last meal. Then I’d take three or four pills. I’d wake up around midnight, take three or four more — then go to morning training.
Honestly, it ruined my relationship with my kids. I was mentally absent. I think this is the first time I’ve ever spoken about it.
I was lucky — my wife is a really good woman. She basically shook me out of it. It was really tough. I was so lonely. That’s why I was taking the pills — just to pass the time." 🇹🇷💊

At least do the correct protocol for doing the skin folds. As the accuracy and reliability of those will be poor. 👍

Cannabis ⬇️ Performance
In this study habitual cannabis users completed 3 protocols before an endurance test:
1️⃣Smoking cannabis
2️⃣Vaping cannabis
3️⃣Vaping CBD
Both cannabis protocols ⬆️🫀bpm, ⬇️ power & performance
