ANECDOTE

Training A Long-Term Functioning Cocaine Addict

  • Eoghan trained a man who was a long-term functioning cocaine addict who later completed rehab.
  • He describes the addict's heavy weekend use (6–8g) and how rehab produced visible improvement in appearance and health.
INSIGHT

Seated Inside Guards Suit Smaller Players

  • Playing seated inside-focused guards can be safer for smaller athletes than forcing outside guards.
  • Charles argues seated guards keep weight in front and avoid having opponent's weight above you, improving safety and control.
ADVICE

Don't Rely On Expensive Wearables For Sleep

  • Avoid overpaying for consumer sleep/HR trackers if they don't change behavior.
  • Eoghan recommends ditching devices like Whoop after trying them for a month if they add cost without useful actionable insights.
