I hope you all had a great Father’s Day! It was my third one as a Dad, and I was fortunate to get in some reading and viewing during nap time so that I had material for this week’s recommended resources! Check them out:

ASMI Injuries in Baseball Course – Mike Reinold just made this great course available online, and it’s an absolute steal compared to what you would have to pay to travel and attend it. There’s some excellent information from some of the top baseball sports medicine professionals in the world, so I’d call it “must watch” for anyone who trains or treats baseball players. It’s on sale for $100 off through this weekend.

Why are there so many MLB hamstrings injuries? – Lindsay Berra of MLB.com tackled this big injury topic with some help from Cressey Sports Performance – Florida’s co-founder, Shane Rye.

4 Ways to Build Confidence for Powerlifting – I loved this article from Tony Bonvechio, who works with the women’s powerlifting team at CSP. So few people pay attention to the mental side of lifting success, but this article delves into it nicely. I’ll add another recommendation to go with it: Rookie Reminders is an interview withs several successful powerlifters on all the things to remember before your first meet. Picking the brains of those who’ve competed before you is one more way to build confidence in this regard.
