+#### Parsing Apple Health data
+
+If you’ve ever wanted to analyze your own health data, here’s how.
+
+###### Exporting as XML
+
+1. Open the [Health app](https://www.apple.com/ca/ios/health/).
+1. Tap on your profile in the top right.
+1. Tap Export All Health Data.
+1. Share the archive with yourself (e.g. via AirDrop, Files, Mail, etc.).
+
+Within the archive, you’ll find `export.xml`. This is where the main metrics are stored.
+
+##### Converting to JSON
+
+If you open `export.xml`, you'll see most of the interesting data is contained in the attributes of `Record` elements.
+So let's make a small Python script to convert those attributes to JSON.
+
+Save the following to a file called `parse.py`:
+
+```python
+import json
+import sys
+from xml.etree.ElementTree import iterparse
+
+for _, elem in iterparse(sys.argv[1]):
+    if elem.tag == "Record":
+        print(json.dumps(elem.attrib))
+```
+
+Then run:
+
+```shell
+python parse.py export.xml
+```
+
+You should immediately start seeing the data in your terminal.
+
+###### Converting to CSV
+
+Using jq, we can convert the JSON to CSV:
+
+```shell
+python parse.py export.xml | jq -r '[.endDate, .type, .unit, .value] | @csv'
+```
+
+If you prefer TSV (e.g. for processing with `cut`), replace `@csv` by `@tsv`.
+
+Save the data to a file and analyze with your favorite software.
+

-24/12/10 - Due to a recenty injury, I decided I’d whip up a decision tree on wether of not I should resign from my tennis coaching gig before the next season. Had already been considering only doing the last of this year, but with the injury and upcoming projects, the timing is more appropriate right now. Asked my friends and parents to vote on it as well. Figured I'd put it here for posterity.
