Respecting and handling ALL travelers' belongings with care, especially those with specialized equipment, should be a basic expectation from airlines. One additional consequence of this that everyone should know and understand is that the equipment that a disability athlete travels with is custom-fitted. Truly not anything that is easily replaced at the nearest sporting goods store. These ongoing mishandlings have significant consequences for disability athletes who rely on their gear to perform in their sport. Losing its use affects their performance and the competitive nature of their teams almost as much (or possibly more if they are sidelined completely?) as their original disability. It’s the definition of unfairness and disrespect. Airlines definitely need to improve their luggage/freight handling procedures and training to ensure they are accommodating and respectful to ALL passengers and their possessions, including those with disabilities. It’s not just Southwest Airlines, ever one needs to do better. Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Northwest Airlines, United Airlines, who am I leaving out?

Pairing Ball & No Ball Conditioning in Gaelic Football. 4v4 Game + Intensive Tempo’s x3 (run 100 @65-75% MSS:walk 50) Works out at about 3:1 mins on:off About as close to match fitness maintenance as possible The original work from @DKieranCollins et al. had used 4:4 and I think that works well Pre Season. I’ve manipulated to working with running and add a small bit more Vo2 or intensity to it over time. High technical challenges in the game. This is sports science meeting motor behaviour science. Really good for lower numbers nights, we were without our hurlers here for instance.

"Failure and setbacks are gifts in a certain way for all of us, because if we didn't have them, we would stay ourselves for the rest of our lives. We wouldn't improve. We wouldn't strive for getting better, for avoiding that suffering in the future." -Nico Rosberg, Retired F1 Racing Champion. #theriseglobal #therise #tamileconomicforum #worldeconomicforum #davos #davossumit2024 #switzerland #business #globalbusiness #businesses

🏁 The Unseen Journey to Triumph During Thanksgiving break, I caught up with Keanu Reeve’s Docuseries on the fairytale story of Brawn GP in the 2009 Formula 1 season. The Cinderella story of Brawn F1 goes from: 🛑 nearly being dissolved completely with 0-day notice, 🏎 hitting the track to start the season as the fastest car on the grid,  🏆 to ultimately winning the Drivers and Constructor Championship in its debut and only season. While Brawn GP’s story seems to be an incredible turnaround of a team’s fate, the focus on 2009 has already begun the year prior with their “double diffuser” and other aerodynamic design approaches. Without the resilient leadership of Ross Brawn and Nick Fry to pull through the transition to 2009, we may have never witnessed the incredible story Brawn GP penned. Like Brawn GP’s story, in our lives or careers, tons of behind-the-scenes works might never share the spotlight if they weren’t for the right circumstances. Yet, those unnoticed endeavors are what lead to the ultimate reward. Chance favors the prepared mind - Louis Pasteur's. 👉 Ross Brawn certainly was fully prepared to lead the team in 2009. It is an incredibly resilient story where stars perfectly aligned… Check out the Docuseries if you haven’t already! #formula1 #successstories #teamwork

Bringing people in an organization together for a common goal, will pay dividends on and off the court. This foundation is what helped our team win a World Pickleball Championship, and gave the defense one of our players needed to combat Parkinson's. Our team consists of top pickleball professionals who know how to win and want to win regularly. To me though, it's the subtleties off of the court that helped us win a championship. Players coming together to offer advice, watch old matches together, work on new techniques, and simply being a sound board. We need these people in our corner. For Ken, pickleball has given him the active lifestyle he needs to help manage his Parkinson's. “Outside of medicine, exercise and activity is the best thing you can do for the disease.” It may be "just a sport." But when that sport brings people closer together, increases the joy in their life, and helps them achieve one of their highest goals, that makes all the difference. #sportsnews #pickleball #sportsmarketing #parkinsons #healthandwellness #community #teamstrategy https://lnkd.in/gwhuPMiS
