This will be the last recommended reading/listening of the year, as we’re switching over to the “Best of 2018” series in the next few days. In the meantime, check these out! And happy holidays!
59 Lessons: Working with the World’s Elite Coaches, Athletes, and Special Forces – Fergus Connolly just released this new book, and I’m excitedly going through it. He’s one of the sharpest minds in the sports science field, so it’s sure to be a good one.
How Should We Space Training to Optimize Skill Acquisition – This was a quick, but awesome listen on Rob Gray’s Perception and Action Podcast. A special thanks to CSP-MA pitching coordinator Christian Wonders for sharing it with me.
Are You Doing Too Much Rotator Cuff Work Before Throwing? – This article came from my series on common arm care mistakes, and I decided to bring it back to the forefront in light of a conversation I had with an athlete about how his warm-ups shouldn’t take 60 minutes.
