Strength and Conditioning Stuff You Should Read: 10/21/19

With the crazy baseball offseason underway and us in the thick of construction for the new facility in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, I haven’t had a ton of time to write up new content. I have, however, continued to consume a lot of other peoples’ stuff! Check out some good reads and listens from around the ‘net:

Boo Schexnayder on the Complete Sports Performance Podcast – I thought this was an outstanding interview by Lee Taft with Boo, as they delved into topics like acceleration programming and plyometric progressions. It was a good reminder that one of the best characteristics of an elite coach is the ability to simplify even the most complex topics.

Be Like the Best – Anthony Renna did an amazing job pulling together this compilation of career advice from around the fitness industry. I’m was one of the interviews, and am currently working my way through it – and am picking up some great nuggets myself!

Yoga for Athletes: What Activation and Inhibition Matter More Than Stretching – I got a question about my thoughts on yoga for baseball players the other day, and it immediately reminded me that I should reincarnate this old article from my friend Dana Santas. She does a great job of relating the most important concepts for athletic populations when they undertake yoga.
