Building the athlete from the ground up requires a strong foundation. But what materials go into that foundation? When is it built? How do we maintain it? On this week's GAIN cast we bring together a roundtable with guests James Marshall and Steve Myrland to discuss the topic from all angles. For more information on this topic, read the complete show notes at: http://www.hmmrmedia.com/2019/11/gaincast-episode-175-outside-perspective-with-mike-barber/
