I've had a bevy of followers reach out in the past few weeks asking a few of the same questions: When the heck will they open a Game of Thrones amusement park? Or how do you tackle people hovering over the Starbucks counter? Okay, these were up there. Jokes...

In-season strength training is like Walmart: get your crap, and get out. The good news is, it does not have to be long or complicated. Look, I understand the youth soccer season is hectic and overwhelming. The duress of the schedule leaves kids and parents wondering when...
