Craig Hoffman and guest host Wes Dunning (Healthy Baller/Rockville, MD) talk about marrying strength training and skill development. Wes -- a former D1 basketball player at Hampton -- talks about his experience both as an athlete and as a strength coach in finding the balance of on-court/on-field training and work in the weight room.
The guys start with establishing a few principles that guide the rest of the conversation while also giving a few important questions trainers can ask their clients (or their parents) when they're coming up with a long-term approach. From load management, to periodization, this chat has it all.
