#94 - Fundamentals. Why the simple stuff matters and how to avoid the social media trap
Social media rewards the flashy stuff. Agility ladders, box jumps, sand training, anything that looks good in a 15-second clip gets thousands of views, and the foundational work that actually builds athletes gets ignored. We talk through the big rocks of great training, why the basics are anything but basic, and how to tune out the noise.
