“The best way to get in shape is not to get out of shape.”

Jim Radcliffe has been coaching at Oregon University for 26 years (That is longer than most “S&C coaches” in the UK have been alive). Unlike a lot of people who have been in situ for a long time, he isn’t resting on his laurels in a comfort zone of repeating the same thing year after year.

Principles of Athletic Development : GAIN review 1

“Are you making athletes better or tired or more predisposed to injury?”

This was one of the key questions we were asked on the GAIN 2011 conference in Houston, Texas in June.

This is the 1^st of 5 blogs that will review some of the things covered over the 5 day conference. It is a summation of my reflections and thoughts since then: hence the delay.
