On episode 88 we speak with Jason Avedesian, a third year PhD student in Biomechanics at UNLV. We speak with him extensively regarding his research and the very real link between concussions and the likelihood of a future lower extremity injury such as an ACL tear. Jason is incredibly bright and we learned a lot on this episode. 

If you would like to learn more, Jason has recently published two papers on this topic:

Avesdesian, J.M., Covassin, T., & Dufek, J.S. (2020). The influence of sport-related concussion on lower extremity injury risk: A review of current return-to-play practices and clinical implications. International Journal of Exercise Science, 13(3), 873-889.

Avedesian, J.M., Covassin, T., & Dufek, J.S. (2020). Landing biomechanics in adolescent athletes with and without a history of sports-related concussion. Journal of Applied Biomechanics, 36(5), 313-318. 

You can connect with Jason on Twitter @JasonAvedesian.

Scot and Daniel talk about why taking a generalist approach to many aspects of life is often advantageous over a specialist approach to problem solving. There are very few instances when a specialist approach will yield more benefits over that of a generalist. However, it is important to have both depth and breadth in your area of expertise and beyond. We also talk on why you only have so much "give a shit" capital and leadership capital each day, so use wisely. 

Some resources on these topics:

Range and The Sports Gene by David Epstein. 

The Dichotomy of Leadership and Extreme Ownership  by Jocko Willink & Leif Babin.
