Vancouver 2010 - I had won the gold with my first run and for the second run, instead of taking it easy, I decided to go for it. After winning the last Olympics, I wanted to prove it wasn't a fluke and cement myself in the sport's history. @Olympics @TeamUSA @usskiteam

I recently sat down with the group over at Lightshade High Dispensary to talk about my work athletes & cannabis. If you have questions about how to integrate cannabinoids into your daily supplement routine, give me a shout! You can listen here: youtu.be/xpPVBQKzH8w

4 years ago today #rugby7s completed its debut in the @Olympic Games. It was truly a major highlight of my professional career to have had the chance to be there. While the athletes will have to wait a year for #Tokyo2020, it'll be worth the wait!

Just the most successful team in the history of sports. There’s a deep powerful lesson here;
#AllBlacks arrive in Cape Town and it is a team effort led by coach Steve Hansen to remove luggage from the truck #SpeaksVolumes

Seems #ZachErtz is headed to play & I hope he can do so safely. All I can say is no doctor would ever clear a high school/college football player to contact sports with any size kidney "cut" at two weeks, especially in the face of a broken rib. This is the @NFL. #InformedConsent
There is optimism Zach Ertz will be able to play Sunday, barring any surprises, according to sources He has passed some very stringent tests, will need to pass some more to be cleared I’m told he had a small cut on his kidney that is healing quickly. Eagles are being cautious

Everybody remain calm! This is not a drill! Remember when we had snow, like, five months ago: slow down, leave space, and give yourself time! #cowx

Rugby athletes are a very special group of people. I took care of nicklas_boyer back when he was with the @usarugby usarugby high school All Americans team. Fast forward 6-7 years and now this young man has… instagram.com/p/B1euRQWgzAP/… – at Denver, CO

Fantastic read! “a supplement can make a 'structure-function' claim, but it can't claim to treat or cure a human health condition.” Understand WHY you’re supplementing with any supplement!
"In recent days, the FDA has issued a notification letter addressed to Curaleaf, unleashing a panic that's had the phones here at Hoban Law Group ringing off the hook." Read my thoughts on the FDA's latest warnings here. #hemp #FDA qoo.ly/z5nnz

The high tackle sanction framework was launched in May for injury-prevention reasons, targeting high-risk tackles & provide clear guidance relating to shoulder charges/head & neck contact. Here is how it works laws.worldrugby.org/?domain=…

Work hard. Train smart. Recovery is THE capstone in performance.
If you feel "tired" during camp, trying to solve the "problem" with extra conditioning is akin to trying save a drowning man by pouring water on his face. Work smarter & recover better > work more, work harder.
There are just certain athletes who get it. I might be biased, but I feel #rugby has a more than most sports.
Alun Wyn Jones might just have made young Caleb Forster's day at our captain's run this morning 🙂
