Strength and Conditioning Stuff You Should Read: 8/6/19
Today, I’ve got a list of recommended reading to get you through the week. Before we get to it, though, just a quick heads-up that we’re doing a pre-sale on Cressey Sports Performance bucket hats. If you’re interested in buying one, you can do so at THIS LINK. They’ll be available for shipment in early-mid September.
As for the reading recommendations, check out the following:
Is It Really “Biceps Tendonitis?” – In light of a recent Instagram post I made on a related topic, this video blog deserves a reincarnation this week.
10 Habits that are Just as Important as Tracking KPI – My business partner, Pete Dupuis, wrote this article that examines some of the overlooked areas in which you can evaluate fitness business success.
Professional and Amateur Pitchers’ Perspective on the Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injury Risk – This was an interesting study on a number of fronts. It was surprising to see how many pro guys think UCL injuries are unavoidable, but not at all surprising to hear that 55% of those who have UCL injuries in pro ball had a previous history of elbow injury in their youth baseball days. The biggest risk factor for an injury is…shocker…a previous injury.
Top Tweet of the Week
We’ll sometimes have parents email to ask us to put their 9-year-olds on a program like we would use with our pro athletes. I wish they’d instead ask what these pro athletes typically did when they were 9: play multiple sports and goof around with their friends.
