#75 How to Incorporate Long Term Athlete Development into your practices with internationally known experts Joe Eisenmann, Tony Moreno and Rick Howard


Listen Later

People talk about “old school” when it comes to coaching and athlete performance. The problem is most of us have the wrong perspective. “Old school” is not strength and conditioning in a vacuum with no functional movement. “Old School” is not running laps until you puke. “Old School”, as defined by Joe, Tony, and Rick, has to do with how wellness was treated in the beginning: holistic, all-encompassing, focused on better movement and healthy people. Listen to this episode to hear how LTAD Playground is bringing back real “old school”.
