Great to be inquisitive and ask ‘WHY’ also great from a challenge perspective too. However, don’t be lazy in asking WHY. Stop and have a think for yourself- WHY might they do that? Often my reply to WHY is ‘have a think about it’. Dont really on spoon feeding!

@alex_natera We are thrilled to have you strengthen our ranks, Alex. #StandTall #MetaphoricallyNotLiterally

To optimise lower limb performance, we need to look at the entire kinetic chain, including shoulder extension ROM.

Great insight from our new Senior Strength Coach. https://t.co/pdgsrCPShG

In drop jumps you may be comparing apples with oranges if you don’t cross reference RSI or CT etc with “effective drop height”. Just because they started on a 40cm box it doesn’t mean they’ve landed from 40cm. EDH also not reported in many studies either?!?!

Hard vs soft skills
Art vs science

The combination of both is where the best coaching happens @SimFree36 @the_ASCA #ASCA_conf

Evidence-based approach to strength training for the prevention of hamstring strain injury: exercise selection is often implemented on the basis of clinical recommendations and assumptions rather than empirical evidence l. Read @MBourne5 @SportsMedicineJ https://t.co/yHREXRzMUH
