Happy Monday! Here are a few thoughts bouncing around in my head after a week of reading, podcasts, cruising social media and any other continuing ed. Enjoy!

1. Unpopular opinion: any non-contact soft tissue injury in team sports is unacceptable. Same goes for non-contact ligament tears as well.
2. It doesn’t matter what gym records an athlete is breaking, if they are not performing on the field, track, court. Sports Performance > Gym Performance.” – Craig Merrick
3. You need to become relentless about gaining all the possible knowledge there is when it comes to your job. Knowledge is unbeaten.
4. The amount of info available for coaches to learn from these days is scary. Books. Podcasts. Articles. Blogs. Social media. On-site visits. And plenty of other ways. The amount of coaches that don’t take advantage of that is even scarier.
