Strength and Conditioning Stuff You Should Read: 10/14/19

We’re long overdue for a recommended reading/listening feature, so here goes!

Does “Feel” Matter with Core Stability Exercises? – I had a good conversation with one of our adult clients on this one just last week, and it reminded me to reincarnate this from the archives.

Ian Kadish on Athleticism, Work Capacity, and Arm Care in Baseball – This was a great podcast from Mike Robertson with my buddy, Ian Kadish. Ian did a great job in his first year as strength and conditioning coach for the Minnesota Twins in 2019.

The New Frontier in Baseball Rehab: Part 1 – This was a good podcast that serves as an excellent follow-up to my chat with Alan Jaeger a few weeks ago. Alan and Josh Heenan delve in further on the topic of rehab throwing programs on the Robby Row Show.

Amen. It’s easy for a parent or coach to say this, but hard to stick to it when you have a son/player who’s advanced for his age. The goal shouldn’t be to showcase your already talented kid; it should be to prioritize process over outcome to set him up for long-term success. https://t.co/xy41n4PwjP

Here’s a quick glimpse at how we structure our deadlift teaching progressions at @cresseysportsperformance. Very few people wind up all the way to the right of the continuum, but it’s important to have strategies in place for all training experience levels and goals. 💪 Would you add anything? Drop a comment below and join in the discussion. 👊 And, be sure to check out the link in my bio for a free (and very detailed) deadlift technique video tutorial. 👍
