A new review digs into the science of "lactic acidosis" and muscle fatigue. Key points:
- we don't have "lactic acid" in the body, we have lactate and hydrogen ions, which have separate (and sometimes opposite) effects
- lactate is a useful fuel and doesn't cause fatigue

Don't underestimate the power of small wins.
Celebrate your achievements, no matter how minor, to build momentum and confidence.
This positive reinforcement can fuel your motivation and drive towards larger goals.

Confidence comes from being good, not great.
Anyone can have the stars align & have a great day. But the confidence from that is fleeting. Confidence comes from consistency. Show up and make your normal pretty darn good.
Focus on raising the floor, not just the ceiling.

Things that can coexist:
Hard work and rest.
Self-discipline and self-kindness.
Ruggedness and flexibility.
Belonging and solitude.
Accepting yourself and getting better.
Stability and change.
Tragedy and optimism.
Intensity and joy.
Caring deeply and non-attachment.

One of the most powerful and important lessons for mental health that more people need to know: You are not your thoughts.
We all have crazy thoughts. Let them float on by. No need to assign meaning to them.
really interesting read. #Performance is the same for all sports, skill is just the practice.
Inside the mind of Roger Federer.
This is a great piece breaking down how one of the greatest of all times mastered the mental game.
Lots of great takeaways.
Well worth a read from @AlexAuerbachPhD

One of the hardest but most important practices: realize that you are not the stuff inside your head. You are the awareness that decides what to do with the stuff inside your head. The ability to choose which thoughts to pursue and which to leave behind is key to everything.

New analysis of over 70,000 people finds focusing on extrinsic goals over intrinsic is associated with ill-being.
Chasing external validation leads languishing.
Pursuing mastery leads to thriving.
Stop chasing achievements, fame, and status.
Fall in love with the process.

How to play the long game:
Don’t worry about being the best. Worry about being the best at getting better.
Don’t aim to be consistently great. Aim to be great at being consistent.
Ignore hacks, trends, and fads. Focus on nailing the basics over and over again.
Sleep at night.
So glad to have been both apart of the @ametsoc ECLA program and now giving back on the planning committee with these amazing people.
#inspirethefuture
Here’s the future of the @ametsoc Early Career Leadership Academy! I’m proud to share that, in addition to the AMS Director of DEI, each chair and member of the planning committee for #AMSECLA24 is a graduate of the ECLA program. 💙
A new study finds that 5 weeks of periodized carb intake does not improve performance or fat oxidation. My take: athletes have plenty of stress to adapt without introducing risky, possibly disastrous metabolic stress. Read about the study and research⬇️ trailrunnermag.com/nutrition…
