Here’s some recommended content to get October rolling:

Darcy Norman on the Value of Working with Interesting People – I really enjoyed this multi-faceted podcast by Mike Robertson with Darcy Norman, who has a lot of experience in the elite soccer world.

Digital Minimalism – I’ve enjoyed each of Cal Newport’s books, and while this one wasn’t as big of a hit for me, it does provide some important discussion points about how technology excessively shapes our existence – and what to do about it.

Play, Practice, or Train? – This was an awesome article from Gray Cook that provides some insights on how to improve organization of our training among these three key classifications. They all have their place, but we have to know how to best fit each one into our planning.

Top Tweet of the Week
