The Best of 2016: Product Reviews
To wrap up my “Best of 2016″ series, I’ll highlight the top product reviews I did at this site in the last year. Here they are:
1. Certified Speed and Agility Specialist (CSAS) Course – Lee Taft is a go-to guy when it comes to speed and agility education, and this awesome certification demonstrates why. It was filmed at Cressey Sports Performance and was mandatory viewing for our entire staff. I wrote up an article about why it’s so great: When Do Strength and Conditioning and Fitness Certifications Really Matter?
2. The Complete Shoulder and Hip Blueprint – I was proud of my longtime friend Tony Gentilcore for releasing this, which was his first product. The content was top notch from both Tony and Dean Somerset, his co-creator. Tony covered the shoulder and Dean covered the hips, and I put out some solid takeaways from the resource; see Shoulder Strategies and Hip Helpers: Part 1 and Part 2 for my review.
3. Elite Athletic Development 3.0 – Unlike most sequels and trilogies, this third installment from Mike Robertson and Joe Kenn didn’t disappoint, as there were loads of great coaching strategies introduced. Cressey Sports Performance coach Nancy Newell and I shared some of these insights in our review: 12 Elite Athletic Development Coaching and Programming Lessons.
There were certainly some other great products I encountered this year, but these three proved to be the most popular with my readers.
In 2016, I personally released Functional Stability Training: Optimizing Movement with Mike Reinold, and will have two new products out in the first six months of 2017, so stay tuned!
