Funny how VCs who make analogies to other fields, encouraging people to work harder, are rarely actually familiar with the other field
In fact, top sprinters are well known for their relatively low training volume http://www.nytimes.com/1996/02/05/sports/lewis-thinks-gold-and-pumps-iron.html … https://m.signalvnoise.com/trickle-down-workaholism-in-startups-a90ceac76426 …pic.twitter.com/pqzxl9wxgM

One of thing statistical analysis of baseball found was that "small ball" was overrated. Turns out home runs are super valuablepic.twitter.com/9og31y11tU

Can we please stop making sports analogies? The same strategies don't even work for baseball and soccer, let alone baseball and programming

For many athletes, resting is "work". If you don't do it, you simply won't improve.
-
Also, working out too much without rest will probably cause an injury. Stress fractures being a common one for runners.

Nice. Plus they're cherry picking: true that Kobe was notorious for long hours, but they didn't mention that Lebron sleeps 12 hours a day!
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

this is so true. as a cross country runner, i was always super jealous of the sprinter workouts

I switched freshman year for track, would rather puke after a couple 400s at a meet than work as hard as I did in xc every practice

Also, training is different from actual performance. The world's best at almost anything do it full-speed for a few hours a week, tops.
-
Yet if I suggested giving employees 20+ hours/week of training time just to prepare them for the other 20 hours of work, VCs would balk.
