Here’s this week’s list of recommended strength and conditioning reading:

Elite Training Mentorship – I just had some new content loaded here for one of our twice-a-month updates. My two in-services, Progression and Regression and Understanding and Managing Acromioclavicular Joint Issues will be of particular interest.

Trunk Stability for Young Athletes – Mike Robertson did a great job with this post on preparing today’s young athletes without skipping steps.

Understanding USA Hockey’s American Development Model (ADM) – This is an excellent post from my friend (and former CP intern) Kevin Neeld. I love how Kevin has sought out to be “the guy” when it comes to hockey much like we have done so in our work with baseball players. I also really enjoyed this post, because I think we can learn a lot on long-term development models by looking to the successes and failures encountered in other sports. In particularly, I loved his quote, “We’re winning the race to the wrong finish line.”
