Happy Monday! Well, at least it is for me. I’m pumped about the Patriots’ season opening win on the road against the Cardinals last night! Let’s keep the good vibes rolling with some recommended reading from around the ‘Net over the past week:

3 Laws to Master Coaching Young Athletes – Cressey Sports Performance coach Nancy Newell does an awesome job with our CSP Foundations (7-12 year-old) class, and this blog shows why. The kids have a blast and learn a ton in large part due to her enthusiasm and fun approach to coaching.

Performance Metrics in Professional Baseball Players Before and Surgical Treatment for Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome – In light of the rise in TOS surgeries in professional baseball, I thought it’d be good to link to this recent publication from Dr. Robert Thompson’s group in St. Louis. It’s important to note that the case studies in question were performed between 2001 and 2014, and they’ve actually improved the surgery and rehab in the two years since then. I’d venture a guess that outcomes are even better now.

3 Tips for Transitioning Your Training Model to Semi-Private – When folks come to observe at one of the CSP facilities, invariably, they wind up asking the question, “How can I do this with my clientele?” In this blog, Pete Dupuis provides a thorough answer.

Elite Training Mentorship – Just a friendly reminder that the CSP staff uploads content to this resource every month, and the September update includes an awesome webinar, “Coaching, Cueing, and Performance,” from Miguel Aragoncillo.
