I am going to step away from podcasting. Is it permanent? I don’t know for sure. I continue to want to share things I learn and give back to the community that has given me so much.  I will continue to do so through my coaching. Both High School and adults. I’m always here if you need me! Thank you for being a part of this journey!

What a great book. "The Norwegian Method" by Brad Culp is not an instruction manual. It does not having training plans. It describes how the Norwegian's are using science to better their training.
