What if "muscle memory" is a myth? What if the very basis for how humans learn new skills is wrong?

A growing number of coaches and athletes see a problem with the way we train.

And they're solving it with a new method called CLA.

This town was founded for one reason only: To shoot dogs
Dellview, North Carolina was formed 100 years ago for a very specific reason. It survived for years as one of the smallest towns in the United States. Why did it hang on for so long?

I've been wrestling with the question of acting in realism and pragmatism vs. how meeting systems of greed as rational actors is a losing proposition.

So I wrote about New Orleans basketball.

Watching CAR v ATL in week 18 and it's so cool to see Bryce once again throwing with anticipation and trusting his arm by the end of last season.

Last week I spent several days in North Carolina to get a better sense of the unique team GM Eric Tulsky and his staff are building with the Carolina Hurricanes.

Here's their story in @theathletic.bsky.social today.

NHL outsider Eric Tulsky, an Ivy League scientist, is changing what it means to be a GM
A Harvard grad with a PhD from UC Berkeley, Eric Tulsky is not a typical NHL GM. Is what he's building in Carolina the future of hockey?

“You call him a first-time head coach, but shit, it doesn’t look like it.”

Charles Lee finally got his head coaching opportunity, but it turned into the impossible task of guiding a young team through an injury-plagued season.

Read the interview here: www.nytimes.com/athletic/628...
Hornets coach Charles Lee kept steady amid injuries, questions about LaMelo Ball
As injuries ruined Lee's debut season, he remained steady throughout the turmoil. Can he elevate the Hornets — and Ball?
