I sat down with Dr. Larson after her keynote at the recent Tactical Strength and Conditioning (TSAC) Conference in Norfolk, Virginia where we discussed how to adapt and overcome adversity, tactics to rewire our brain, the importance of space and stillness, simple mobility fixes for common knee and back pain issues, and developing inner strength.
