Each Monday I share the most RT’d quote(s) from the blogs twitter account over the previous week.

“Do or do not! There is no try..”
(Yoda, “The Empire Strikes Back”)
Tweeted on 27th August
The second most RT’d tweet was:
“I never ran 1000 miles. I could never have done that. I ran one mile 1000 times.”
(Stu Mittlan, ultra-distance running world record holder)
Tweeted on 29th August
Many thanks to everyone who shared the quotes above and the other quotes from last week. I know that there are various aspects that can influence if a quote attracts your attention – if you saw the tweet, personal style, if it speaks to something happening in your life at that moment etc.
(For those of you as geeky as I am and wondering what tool I’m using to measure individual RT’s this week I’ve been playing with www.twitonomy.com)

Recapping the Facebook Monday Invite (from 26th August 2013)
Each Monday on this blogs Facebook page I issue the following question and invitation:
“Have you written/seen a blog post in the past week that you’d think is of interest to coaches and that you’d like to share?”
At the end of each week I will be posting a recap of a selection of the links shared that Monday on our Facebook page.
As normal this week coaches from different parts of the world, with different areas of expertise and specialisms, took the time to share.
Posts shared on Monday 26th August 2013:
- “Less Is More” by HT Lee
- “Community F***ing Rocks” by Dani Nelson
- “Teaching round-offs onto the springboard — and my first video!” by gymnastics coach Zari Goldmann
These are a few posts that also attracted my attention either personally or because of readers requests to read more on a particular subject…

Want your post included next week?
If you have a post that you think will be of interest to coaches do take part in tomorrow’s Monday invite and leave the details on our Facebook page.
Whilst it’s lovely for posts to be sent to me via twitter, the nature of a tweet means that it can easily be overlooked when this post is being compiled at a later time. Please leave links in one place, ie the thread on our Facebook page so they can be easily shared.
