Strength and Conditioning Stuff You Should Read: 4/27/18
It’s a rainy day in Massachusetts – which is the perfect time to compile some recommended reading for the week. Check it out:
Diagnosis and Treatment of Movement Impairment Syndromes – I’m throwing this one in there because it’s probably been the single most influential book on my development as a coach. It was first published 17 years ago, but I still finding myself referencing it regularly – including this week. If you’re in the fitness or rehabilitation worlds, give it a read.
Behold the Transformation of Noah Syndergaard – This was an excellent Sports Illustrated article that took a look at the pitch selection modifications that Cressey Sports Performance athlete and Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard has made over the years.
Are Health and Aesthetics Mutually Exclusive? – A question I got this week reminded me of this blog I wrote back in 2014, so I thought I’d bring it back to the forefront.
Top Tweet of the Week
We currently have 4 free agent LHPs who sit 91-93, 90-92, 92-95, & 93-96mph. 15 yrs ago, there probably weren’t 100 LHPs w/this much velo in the entire US at any level. Game has changed dramatically; velocity alone won’t get you to where you need to be. It’s just a prerequisite.
