Strength and Conditioning Stuff You Should Read: 5/18/18
Happy Friday! I’m a few days late with this post in light of our spring sale as well as some speaking-related travel I had this week. The good news is that the travel gave me some time to do some reading/viewing/listening and come up with some additional recommendations for you. Check them out:
Complete Youth Training – This is Mike Boyle’s great new resource for those who work with young athletes. He touches on everything from the problems with early specialization to age-specific training stages. It’s a good investment for parents and coaches alike. I loved how his perspective as a parent coalesced with his commentary as a strength and conditioning coach and business owner. It’s on sale for $50 as an introductory discount.
The Best Team Wins – This was a recommendation from my buddy Josh Bonhotal, who’s spent the past several years at the Purdue basketball strength and conditioning coach. Whether you’re a coach or involved in a business in any way, this is a great book that’ll teach you a lot about your interactions with athletes, fellow coaches, employees, and co-workers.
Prioritization and Success for Strength and Conditioning Success – I was reminded of this older post of mine this week when chatting with an up-and-coming strength and conditioning coach about how I’ve approached career development since I entered the industry.

“Follow your passion” is often bad advice. Passion is simply the trait that helps you deliver high-leverage skills you’ve acquired/developed. Passion isn’t a bad thing; it’s just not as highly marketable a thing as many up-and-comers seem to think. https://t.co/kjeBhtwldV pic.twitter.com/qOzFy1yruW
