Eventually got to go to Gunther Von Hagens Body Worlds. Couldn’t recommend this high enough. S&C education doesn’t expose students to anatomy/cadavers like medical pathways. Understand the body, have clinical reasoning, select optimal interventions

Never felt so disenfranchised from the “S&C community”. We began with common interests, open dialogue, debate & a thirst for progress. We now only have outlandish remarks, cliques, zero mutual respect. The problems within our industry that “we” complain about we now simply fuel

It’s really worrying how long it has taken for people to begin to be sceptical about the acute:chronic work ratio as a theory. An oversimplification of some poor external and internal data. Due diligence is a must when utilising such methods in an applied context

Note to athletes; end of the season is close, you’re motivated for preseason. Great! But don’t forget you have some highly qualified “performance coaches” at your disposal. Running on treadmills turned off, battle ropes, circuits with “fast feet” @ Globo-Gym isn’t necessarily S&C

Very interesting stat.....how do we in “our” industry embrace and promote this diverse athleticism? And I don’t mean 20mins of handball once a week
29 of the 32 first-round draft picks were two-sport athletes and 14 of the 29 were three-sport athletes. Next time your personal trainer or your coach tells you you need to specialize in football, maybe you really need a new trainer or coach.
