Why Social Media is enriching our lives, while it eats away at the fabric of our society.

Of all the things DT could help him with, this is the easiest. But I guess it’s one of those “easy to say, hard to do” things.

Z is a grown man and doesn't live with DT.

Z easily has another 2 cycles in him. He doesn't get hurt, can train hard and is just so unbelievably athletic. But if he can't figure out that he needs to live clean, it's not going to matter.

He seemed to have adequate motivation last year--his gas tank issues just weren't there. Maybe he'll be able to lock in again for the Olympic year. Even DT has talked about experiencing a motivation let-down after winning his first world (and Olympic) title. I can't imagine the dedication it takes to do everything right year in and year out in this sport. Those who seem to do best with it have embraced it as a way way of life (I think of Burroughs, Dake and Snyder). It's clear Zahid hasn't been able to do that, and is not likely to. But he can probably keep it together for individual years again.

This is 100% true.

Even Cael has had to encourage those who don't hear that message to skip on down the road.
