In this 6-minute deep dive, Dr. Jason Weber and I break down a real-world case where an athlete was medically cleared post-ACL reconstruction (patella tendon graft), but performance testing told a different story.After a few run-throughs, SpeedSig data flagged something off—significantly reduced vertical force production. That led to a closer look, and sure enough, the issue was a symptomatic patella tendon that hadn't been fully rehabbed.___Save on your re-certification to the NSCA and CSCCa with best price CEUs

I am not endorsing GOATA. I say this at the beginning of this episode and want to say it again, I know Rick Stanzi from our Iowa Football connection. He works for GOATA. I had a convo with him and Gary about what they think and believe. I do not agree with most of what they say/said. You will hear me disagree with and question them multiple times in this conversation. What you wont hear is me, Rick, or Gary be rude to one another when we talk and disagree with one another. People can disagree on a topic and still be kind to one another. I will say it again, I do not think GOATA "laws" are correct. Yes training the foot is important. Yes the head is important, so are the eyes as they drive sensory input. But the notion of columns, spirals, reverse locomotion, etc... I do not agree with, nor do I think they make sense. Tried and true S&C that has been applied with: Speed/agility work on the field/courtWeight room lifting with: proper periodization for athletes based on training age, movement ability, prior injury, sport, position on sport Conditioning work on and off feet (again depending on time of year).To cherry pick and say GOATA and what they teach violates the principles of S&C that are how athletes train, get stronger, faster, more powerful, better shape and stay healthy for decades. You hear me say this in the episode. ___Save on your re-certification to the NSCA and CSCCa with best price CEUs

Just like Morpheus told Neo "Like all other S&C coaches, you were born into bondage, born inside a prison that you cannot smell, taste, or touch. A prison for your mind.

You wake in your office and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill and you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes."Ok he didn't say EXACTLY that - but you get the point. There are S&C coaches saying only SL squat.

What happened at Tufts with the lacrosse team is unfortunate. Here is hoping this will be the last time we see military style training for athletes. Athletes are not military operators. Athletes do not need to go through the same process of selection that Navy SEALS go through. Remember, SEAL hell week is not designed to develop SEALS, it is to weed out those who can't make it.
