8 Tips To Build STRONG & HEALTHY Feet (Backed By Science)
Foot strength is the foundation of everything, squatting, running, and moving well for life. But decades of narrow, stiff, and supportive shoes have squeezed our toes together, weakened the muscles in our feet, and robbed them of their natural ability to spread and adapt. The good news? It can all be reversed...

I've coached over 30 Olympic gold medals.
I've worked with some of the greatest athletes in history.
Here are the lessons I wish more people understood:🧵

One of the smartest players in the game speaking about how the game is changing where it’s faster…but (in his words) dumber.
This is what pretty much all high level hockey people will tell you. The players have never been more skilled, but there’s a severe lack of hockey IQ and creativity.
This starts in youth hockey.
-The lack of unstructured play.
-Coaching systems instead of creativity.
-Too much emphasis on winning and players not having freedom to make mistakes.
-Skating around implements that look good on instagram rather than drills with decision making.
The game has changed because how we coach kids and the business of hockey have changed at the youth levels.
The fact that Kucherov is speaking to it is wild.

Michael Jordan, Angela Duckworth, and Why We’ve Made Competition a Dirty Word
Michael Jordan famously said, “Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.” That always made sense to me.
Angela Duckworth has an excellent new essay in The New York Times arguing that successful people share an important habit: they ask for help. As she writes, “Without exception, every high performer I’ve studied credits a host of supporters for success.”
She’s right. Nobody gets very far alone.
But after years of working with Olympians, professional athletes, coaches and other high performers, I’d put a slightly different name on what the best of them do:
Competitive resourcefulness.
“Asking for help” can sound to a fiercely independent person like an admission that they can’t handle something themselves. Great performers tend to see it differently. If a coach, teammate, expert, better data, another set of eyes or a good conversation can help them improve, they use it.
I often hear world-class performers ask me questions that less secure people might be embarrassed to ask. They’re not trying to look like they know everything. They’re trying to get better.
If there’s gold there, why would I ever leave it sitting on the table?
I also think we’ve made the word competition unnecessarily loaded. Too often it gets reduced to conflict, domination or beating somebody else.
At its best, competition is about striving, sharpening your game and finding out what you’re capable of.
Many of the fiercest college and professional athletes I’ve worked with are also terrific collaborators. They want to beat you on game day and are perfectly happy to learn from you the following day.
That’s why competition and cooperation are not opposites.
Collaboration can be one of the ways a champion competes.
MJ didn’t become less competitive because he needed teammates and coaches. Knowing how to use the talent and intelligence around him helped make him formidable.
So Angela’s advice to ask for help is good advice. I’d just broaden the question:
"What could help me get better that I’m not using yet?"
Maybe it’s a person, an idea, a different approach or a conversation you’ve been too proud to have.
Go find out.
That’s competitive resourcefulness.
It’s also the kind of practical mental-game thinking behind my new book, "The Daily Champion’s Mind," arriving November 3, 2026. Preorder now.
Champion the day.

Came across this vid of Macklin Celebrini & had to share it here. This behind the scenes effort & the level of perfection/attention to detail he holds himself at is why he’s elite. His extra effort to do incredibly niche drills prepares him 4 everything.

The way to excel is to use a professional’s mindset …even before you are pro/in the high tier of your field. That means you relegate motivation and inspiration. Simply show up to the work. Every day. @SPressfield explains.
"A professional shows up every day, stays on the job all day, does not take success or failure personally."
"An amateur worries about how they feel. A professional doesn't care how they feel. They do it."
"All you have to do is say to yourself, I'm going to attack this thing as if I were Kobe Bryant."
"Turning pro does have a cost. A lot of times you have to leave people behind."
"Groups of friends will have an unspoken compact among them that we're all going to stay mediocre. That's the deal."

Since the World Cup, I've seen a lot of discussion about talent development and how countries can produce more elite players.
It reminded me of a fascinating case study on the youth environment at FC Bryne in Norway, where Erling Haaland began his football journey.
What fascinated me wasn't simply that they developed one of the world's best strikers.
It was that they created an environment that developed professional players while also keeping almost every child involved in the game.
Out of the 40 players who started together at U6, 35 were still playing into adulthood, while six had gone on to play professionally (as of 2020).
Thethread below highlights five of the insights that stood out to me, but a couple really caught my attention.
As the players got older, they weren't separated purely by ability. Instead, they could choose different participation pathways depending on how much football they wanted to play, while still training together and maintaining the friendships they'd built over the years.
Perhaps most importantly, the coaches combined strong football knowledge with equally strong pedagogical knowledge. They valued every player, built positive relationships and never allowed winning to become the main focus.
It's easy to look at Erling Haaland and ask,
"How did they develop a player like him?"
I think the more interesting question is:
What kind of environment develops great players, keeps children involved in sport and helps them become good people?
Perhaps we don't need to choose between those outcomes.
Perhaps the best environments are the ones that achieve all three.

I am totally committed to getting a standing desk.
This conversation with Kelly Starrett convinced me.
Sitting isn't necessarily bad. Standing (and more movement in general) is good. But desks give you almost no movement options. So how can we create more movement choice during the workday?
If you have a standing desk, it helps to make it an actual movement station. That means having something to put a foot on so you can shift your pelvis and spine out of the same static position, and ideally a bar stool or perch so you can lean, sit, prop a foot up, or change positions easily.
That’s the real benefit of a good desk setup. Not that you’re standing all day, but that you’re no longer locked into one posture.
