8 Laws of Strength Training – This is a basic, but outstanding post from Bret Contreras. I’d call this must-read for every beginning strength training enthusiast.

Jaundice or Just Yellow? – This is an excellent post at Precision Nutrition by Spencer Nadolsky. If you eat a lot of pumpkin, give this a read.

Player Interview with Cubs Prospect John Andreoli – Current CP intern Jay Kolster interviews one of our pro guys on his hitting approach and how he prepares in the batting cage. This is a great read for coaches and players alike, as John is a guy who has worked extremely hard – and smart – to get to where he is.
