I have always marched to the beat of my own drum. If I have a vision, I go for it. If I am challenged, I plunge into it. If I fail, I overcome it. If I'm told what to do, I do something else. If the crowd walks one way,...
I try to keep things light on this blog. With all of the Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones and Beyonce references, my mission is to write about youth athletic development through the lens of simplicity and levity. Writing in pop culture references and sentence fragments...
The hips don't lie. If they're weak, unstable and or lack multi-planar mobility, female athletes will have a tough time handling high forces in the game (at the knee joint), accelerating rapidly, and changing direction at bolstering pace. The hips need to be the strongest and most...
Or, should I say footballer? Any time I have a podcast discussion with a lad across the pond, I have to catch myself when I say soccer, and remember to speak their lingo. This was an excellent discussion on ensuring young girls take training gradually, learn the...

Knee pain can feel as stabbing as a Dragonglass blade. Excuse the nerdy Game of Thrones reference, but this common nag in female athletes is one that can prove to be excruciating over time, especially if not taken care of immediately. Too often I hear this, "my...
There are two story lines happening now. Admittedly, I feel like I'm living in a science fiction movie, and of course, it's year 2020, so things are going to get fiction-like and downright weird. For one, I see humans hiding behind their masks, as their droopy eyes...
