So many things to learn

I am learning about so much stuff that my head is spinning.  Proper breathing, hip stabilization, thoracic mobility and on and on and on.  When I first started 30 years ago, it was never this complicated.  Just go in and bench, squat and deadlift.  Throw in some curls and tricep pushdowns and you were good to go.  Now it is about fixing so many problems that I didn't even know existed back then.  Do I wish that we would go back to the good old days?  HECK NO!!!!  These are the good old days.  There is so much exciting stuff to learn and implement.  It's unbelievable.  Did you know that improper breathing may be responsible for such things as poor posture, shoulder problems, and asthma?  That just scratches the surface.  Do you have any idea of how poor hip stabilization can be the cause of knee or shoulder pain?  Well, you might but I didn't.

There is much more to training than what is ever taught in most colleges classes.  Guys like Mark Garrett, Marty Mills, Mike Boyle, Bill Hartman, and Mike Robertson -just to name a few- are doing cutting edge stuff to make their athletes better.  Wish I had known this stuff when I started back in 1980.  We might have won more football games.
