Can activities in the gym that are built around the requirements of a specific sport actually help athletes get better at that sport?
Our good friend, Jacob Ross -- an athletic performance coach and consultant who currently works with Luol Deng of Minnesota Timberwolves – joined us as our expert to answer this question.
As always, the question spawns more questions:
Do better athletes just do better?
What’s the role of injury prevention?
Drills vs sport-adapted weight training
We kick off the episode talking about how technology is getting more challenging for us to keep up with.
Our ideas about the question start around 14:00.
Jacob shares his thoughts starting at around 27:00.
