Finally, the world knows why Boo Schexnayder is called Boo... From coaching track and field, to strength and conditioning, to variation vs specificity, and return to play, Boo has the stories to teach some powerful lessons from his +40 years in the field.

9:14 Biggest lessons from being mentored by Dan Pfaff and shadowing him at LSU

18:32 How Boo got into return to play and reflecting on "the level of intensity you achieve is the level of performance you can expect"

40:33 Variation vs specificity, learning motor control from Dr. Richard McGill, and reflecting on "variation increases transfer but decreases performance" and "the struggle to attain mastery is what makes improvement"
