In this episode we are talking about practice, yes practice. Practice isn't what it used to be and more and more athletes are disengaged, getting injured and unfortunately not getting better. Is there a better way? I think so.

Today we are talking about burnout. Prior to recording this episode I polled the college athletes for ideas to talk about and burnout is a real issue for athletes being "forced' to play year round without any down time to really rest, recover and rejuvenate their passion for the sport they used to love so much. Remember, there are some stressors involved in everything but if the game you love is causing you a lot of negative stress, it might be a time to step back and re-evaluate.

On today's episode we are talking about ACL injuries and why I think we are at a crossroads with the style of training many athletes are doing vs. what they should be doing. There are more ACL injuries than ever and all I see in terms of many strength and conditioning coaches is a rigid style of training running and plyometrics. A style that isn't conducive to what athletes are actually doing on the field. Let's try to mimic scenarios and body positions our athletes will see on the game and give them an opportunity to solve the problem in a safe and controlled setting. Makes sense to me. What do you think?

Today we are chatting a bit about nutrition. Mainly working towards low hanging fruit. This means we want to have a basic understanding of the three macronutrients (proteins, carbs and fats) and how they work as well as what type of foods fall into these categories. 

Each meal should have a mix of each of these macronutrients to ensure a healthy and performance driven nutritional plan.
