Happy June, everyone! Let’s kick this month off on the right foot with some recommended strength and conditioning reading:

Give and Take: Why Helping Others Drives Our Success – I just finished up this best-seller from Adam Grant, a professor at The Wharton School. It was an outstanding look at some factors that characterize those who are successful in the business world, and there are definitely a lot of applications to coaching. I’ve already recommended it to several friends who manage training facilities.

Why Tommy John Surgeries Won’t Cease Any Time Soon – This ESPN The Magazine article does a good job of addressing the social (as opposed to physiological rationale) for why arm injuries continue to be such a problem.

Are You Consuming, Producing, or Engaging? – Todd Hamer is a good friend of mine who always has great insights on coaching, and this is no exception.
