There are a plethora of hotly debated topics out there. Early specialization. Income taxes. Chipotle vs. Qdoba. Universal healthcare. Keto. But the one topic that is just as bellicose, with a side of ego-driven, snarky remarks is...
Guess what? I discovered the secret to life, to improved performance, to weight loss, to healthier nutrition, to D1 college pursuits, to increased speed on the pitch, to better conditioning, to a more explosive first step. No, it's not training with an Instagram influencer speed trainer for...
