"The Idea of a sports gene that determines an athletes abilities is a myth"-0:55 That isn't true, there are lots of gene polymorphisms that determine things like limb length, muscle fiber type and tendon length that all determine the potential ceiling of how well you'll do.

I'm becoming excited about this book. Thank you for this content. Could you recommend your top 5 self-improvement books? Thank you so much!

It's well known from athletes that bike the Tour de France that they use "the governance method" where you visualize yourself from 3rd person and guvern yourself from above (not 1st person as mentioned in the video). Also this method is mentioned in some of Mel Robbins conferences where she teaches entrepreneurs, and so on. Now, I don't mean to throw @masteryblueprint_ under the bus here because I love the channel, but maybe more research is needed on the topic before providing this information to the public. Because visualization, if done right, is very powerful and at the same time if done wrong you might not find it useful then give up. I'm not saying 1st person visualization doesn't work but when you're in a race and you're at your lowest point, 3rd person is quite useful to detatch from your pain and get relief. But at the same time 1st person is used by some athletes like David Goggins where he uses the pain like a fuel with an emphasis on the "dark side" as he calls it. So all I'm saying is that more research and work needs to be put into this visualization methods, maybe in a future video?! Some questions I'm asking myself are: when is 1st person useful and when is 3rd person useful? How can I use both? Then before or after exercise/competing? Also some pros and cons of both methods? Thank you @masteryblueprint_ for making the video!

Excellent mental strategies and great content. Would love to see more also on emotional regulation in the moment.. some athletes are great at understanding when their mindset or emotions get altered by negative states: overwhelming pressure (self, external, situational), anxiety, disappointment, frustration, anger, insecurity etc. Vs positive emotional regulation i.e. staying calm under immense pressure, lifting performance to another level in the face of adversity, resilience, perserverance, self belief etc. Some athletes seem to better self regulate than others it may be due to their inner talk or external factors in their upbringing such as coaching, parents and education. Growth mindset from learning from mistakes as opportunities to learn and improve. However some overprotective parents may end up hindering performance due to overbearing pressure (yelling, telling them they weren't good enough). It would be awesome to learn more about emotional regulation in the present moment during a game or competition.

Visualization is how I play video games.

Jordan, Hakeem the Dream, Tim Duncan, Steve Nash, and tons of others didn't train until they were teenagers. Several NBA players like Fred Vanfleet are short and slow. Might want to revisit the topic. Most pro athletes I know (basketball and football) didn't take it serious until high school. Yes they are over 6 foot but not over 6'6".

THE SCIENTIST

World class athletes are borne THEN made. If you don't have innate ability, the top level coaches are not going to waste their time on you. "You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear." I ran 400 and 1600 relay in school. I was an extremely dedicated grinder and was a steady 52 second 400 runner. Our team's best runner almost never showed up for practice. Had been arrested multiple times for marijuana. Had been kicked off the team multiple times for infractions At the end of my senior year he won conference running 48.10 He also won the 100 at conference running a 10.3 Everything came so easy to him in high school that he didn't need to try, and put zero effort into it. World class athletes are born with this guy's natural ability but also have a work ethic to develop it. You need both. I had the work ethic, but didn't have the genetic gifts. Jake had all the gifts but zero work ethic.

I'm glad to see your video about athlete food and supplements.

Awesome

This Channel is criminally underrated

so i've practiced freestyle rapping from 17 to 20 years old then i hung up the mic and started writing and producing songs from 26 until present and just recently about 2 years ago i started freestyling again not consistently until just recently i made a plan to produce 3 uploads of decent enough freestyle sessions all about 2min long on average not to mention the outtake sessions that i didnt upload. my plan is a diagram of a deficit suprlus chart in case i miss a day or two or a week or do extra credit so i can see how many i need to produce so that in a year i have 1000 uploads. if i discount the outtakes and only count the uploaded sessions to complete a thousand but my ultimate goal is 9,000 in 9 years. i might get there sooner than 9 years or later. but 9000 uploads equals 18,000 minutes divided into hours and that is barely 300 hours ????? yeah the 10,000 hours is bs. because your brain like a muscle can get over exhausted and develop bad habits and sleep and exercise and time passing also contributes to growth in your intelligence. you dont go to the gym and do 30 sets of weights everyday because that can actually be counter productive. you need rest and to reflect on your work and analyze it to become better

Amazing video

They were born with the potential they had to work to reach it

Somebody summarize in the comments? So much unnecessary info in the vid

It’s both nature and nurture. This has been asked a million times already in almost every field from athletics to academia and anything in between. When you look at the top violists or pianists for example, there are thousands of kids that start at a very young age but some are destined to be the lead violists due to their innate genetic capacity. Same with athletes and academics who may have a significant physical or cognitive advantage over others to the extent that no one else can catch up to them regardless of how much they train/study/practice. Nurture might get you into the top 1%, but ultimately, what sets apart the 1% from the 0.01% (professional athletes, nobel laureates, etc.) is the genetic component.

This was, without question, the best sports video I've seen to compete in tournaments. Thank you. I'm going to use this to improve.

Genetics do play a role. we humans have a gene called ACTN3 which codes for protein alpha-actinin-3. Its the protein that are found in the fast twitching muscles (type II). around 8% of people have the "bad" variant of the ACTN3 which stops the production of the protein. It can lead to more muscle damage and slower recovery.

Good stuff. I would love to have you on the podcast sometime. We have some opposing views that could make an interesting conversation

Great stuff. I would love to.have you on the podcast sometime

Good video. Good content and delivery without fluff.

I have a autosomal recessive Myotonia, meaning both of my parents had to have the same faulty chromosome and they do have the both of them, that is super rare and about 25 years ago I had my blood sent somewhere to the east coast by Boston Massachusetts that showed the proof but what was not understanding to me was my Dad had an athletic elite variant! Through me off my Dad and 5 brothers were all great at performing at track meets.know one else in my family have myotonia, and there are three myotonia muscle diseases and the fainting goats 🐐 have a recessive or dominant myotonia!

So glad to hear you will be posting videos again, I am involved in sport coaching and your videos are some of the best I have seen, Thank you

They were born. God gifted them with those abilities to be athletic when they were born

Simple Procedure for stress control, motivation, and wellbeing (flow) from affective neuroscience. In sum: 1) The suppression of mind wandering (using mindfulness or other resting protocols) induces the decreased activity of the covert musculature or relaxation. 2) Relaxation elicits endogenous opioid release or is pleasurable. 3) The continuous experience or expectation of positive and novel moment to moment events (or meaningful behavior) during relaxation increases dopaminergic activity (perceived as a state of arousal) which stimulates increased opioid release, and opioid release will increase or ‘scale’ with the degree of dopamine release that scales in turn with the increased salience of reward. (or opioid-dopamine interactions) 4) This can be observed in natural environments and manipulated in self-control procedure, as outlined below. Procedure: Continuous and periodic alternation between a resting protocol (e.g. mindfulness) and the pursuit of meaningful behavior will increase motivation and positive affect (arousal and pleasure), and by making meaningful ideation more emotionally salient, will crowd out thoughts leading to anxiety and depression, with the greater the meaning, the more intense the positive affect.

When I get angry and focused I get in the zone not being happy why

You have misinterpreted what Gladwell said. It's a concept and not an exact science. He plainly states that it takes a lot of intentional practice to get good at anything. I don't believe he said a master or a champion. And he also said it's not a hard and fast rule because all individuals are different. Why split hair on something we all know is true? To achieve anything that is sustainable requires a lot of time and effort. There are no shortcuts, is what he is really saying.

Was the other video mentioned at the end ever made?

Brother will you recommend some books for athletes related to mindset mental toughness etc.

How can I fall in a more convincing fashion? -Lebron’s mind

What about Kobe?

A great question for me is this: How can I elevate the elements and quality of deliberate practice in my own efforts to learn? I may be using them all, but not at their best effect. For instance, how many ways can I improve feedback? How often do I use video recording? Is that recording analyzed for angles and speed? Are those measurements analyzed against a model of elite players? Can an expert coach suggest drills or other steps to improve performance?

I reached flow state when I was in primary school during Inter school athletics tournament, That day I won gold on 100 meter, 200 meter, High Jump, Long Jump, 4× 100 relay...I activated ultra instinct and entered into the speedforce without even noticing anything that is happening in that moment, almost as if I had tunnel vision on each event I participated in.

Hello, could you make a video on iaido vs sprinting? The sliding step is faster than sprinting over short distances. Because you dont lift your feet off the ground and focus on the horinzontal force. But in the long run you miss out on the explosive power given by the vertical gait

Bro, nice video, I had to watch your video and respond a number of questions about it for a practice for my university in Spain for the subject of psychology applied to the sport. If I were you I would be so proud of that a university takes my video as an example for their students.

I don't think sports that "require more cognitive skills" are any less genetic dependant than ones like track/swimming. Cognitive function is genetic too, imagine someone with 80 IQ trying to beat Magnus Carlsen in chess, it's just like someone with almost all slow twitch fibers racing Usain Bolt. Cognitive intelligence can be a gift you can use to your advantage, but it's just like being blessed with good physical genetics for a sport.

thank you!

Kobe Bryant had some good tips Variety sets reps and not over training in this is important as well
