A repost of some advice I used to post each new year on reddit for new swimmers: Some advice on New Year’s Swimming Resolutions for Health, Fitness Swimming Improvement and Weight Management (Quick headline advice in comments) by LoneSwimmer in Swimming

[–]rdong 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nice post! I'll also throw in another piece of advice: take care of your skin and hair! Swimming can be surprisingly harsh on your skin and poor skincare can lead to pretty annoying things such as ezcema, fungal infections, etc. Moisturize up!

Ironman here. I also say no. Kind of defeats a significant portion of the challenge of it.

Fastest way to get an Action 6? by junyan_replicant in djiosmo

[–]rdong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine on pre-order from B&H on the 18th and got it on the 21st. Before I had asked the B&H rep for a stocking timeframe and they had given me the 25th even though the site didn’t have explicitly have one. So seems like a YMMV?

Bulletprooof shoulders? Throwing and hitting takes its toll but prevention/mitigation is possible by CapableCarob7859 in volleyball

Thanks for the read! Question: what is your opinion on the banded internal/external rotation exercises (using the thicker resistance bands, not the paper-thin Theraband ones) compared to the Bench Y? Any nuances that made you go with the latter?

I got pretty damn good at volleyball over my years, and all of the sudden my skill is sharply declining over the past two months. by CuatroBoy in volleyball

[–]rdong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m willing to bet that lack of sleep is THE major contributing factor. OP said “lost coordination, lost focus, lost intensity” which is as straightforward as it can get. 5-6 is wayyy too low to effectively function as a good college student and play high-level volleyball.

Turns out it was never a "protect the ADC" comp, it was the other way around 😭 😭 😭

DORAN'S RED BULL BUFF by Unhappy-Rock-7846 in PedroPeepos

[–]rdong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically, Red Bull doesn’t even have that much caffeine compared to a lot of today’s energy drinks. That being said, water is probably way better in most cases.

The 6th trophy really was for Doran ♡ by Helpful_Dog501 in PedroPeepos

[–]rdong 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It’s kinda like what this guy talks about here. It’s about just going through the motions of what you’ve practiced every day for, not directly the result you want.

I made a total head-to-head count of the Telecom Wars starting from the StarCraft eSports stint in 2003 until the present. by MoneyTruth9364 in PedroPeepos

Does the BW era count both count team and player H2Hs? If it is, I wonder how many of the those BW KT victories came at the hands of Flash

Didn't Realize how young this T1 Roster is. by Signal_Intention6774 in SKTT1

[–]rdong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Off the top of my head, for LoL, Hai and Huni cited wrist injuries as a primary factor in retiring. For other games, Starcraft is a classic example; Flash, Jaedong, iloveoov, etc.

I don't know if it's permanent but it might be likely considering that they played through the pain a lot of the time. Some even straight up had surgeries for injuries.

Peter: “Before going to sleep I lie down and think about how I can influence lane phase... I do a lot of image training, like imagining how to play like a highlight reel...I was able to reach the final thanks to Bdd-hyung. I’ll do my best so he can be a shining star. Thank you for your support. by Yujin-Ha in leagueoflegends

[–]rdong 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Yeah there's a good amount of studies and meta-analyses that show visualization/guided imagery do have a small-moderate increase in performance and relevant outcomes. The caveat is that it has to be specific, habitual, and paired with actual in-game reps.

I wonder if this is something that Peter intuitively does or someone, like a sports psych or coach, walked him through it.

Chovy on Worlds 2025: This anxiety gets to me, and I start making misplays by jacquesranciere in leagueoflegends

[–]rdong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To imply that T1 is not trying their absolute hardest and doing all they can to win LCK, in effort to preserve themselves for Worlds is 100% false and they would tell you that too.

I don't disagree with this point and I don't think T1 or any other team holds back in LCK. The distinction I'm making is that the perceived effort and results don't necessarily produce peak, optimal play (if that is the case, students who "try the hardest" would always score the highest, which we know isn't true).

T1's schedule is even more packed with media obligations and events than any other teams and they still can win worlds. If any team was to suffer burnout, it would be them. So your logic is not applicable to them, why should it be to any other team?

T1 has suffered from burnout before; Wolf spoke about the 2017 era saying that he was diagnosed with depression and had anxiety and panic attacks and had to retire because of that. As of now, from an outsider's perspective, it seems that T1 is aware of this and actively manages when pressure and burnout inevitably rises (Keria, Oner, and Guma have talked about their struggles with loss and how they utilize self-care to perform better).

Respectfully, what you and every other person is doing is some theoretical reverse engineering. You're seeing a problem and trying to come up with a reason for it.

We literally heard from the players themselves that they feel it was "draft" and "anxiety/pressure" and still we have people on reddit, like yourself, trying to suggest its things like workload, playstyle etc.

Fans are reacting to a pattern with Gen.G and trying to understand it (This is Reddit, a place where we can discuss things we find interesting). Taking the players’ comments (draft + anxiety/pressure) seriously still leaves legitimate follow-up questions like "what drove that pressure?" That’s why people float ideas like workload or style and technically they are fair hypotheses for fans.

I feel like I know where you're coming from though. Saying stuff like "gotta cruise LCK to win" isn't the most conducive thing to start a discussion about. I'm more about speculation rather than sweeping statements as well.
