Danny Foley - Rude Rock S&C - joins us for the ninth episode of MTN. We dive into the intricacies of the fascial system, who would need this type of approach and how it might differ from the traditional S&C programming structure, and we finish with the ways that anyone can begin to incorporate fascia-driven training into their own programs - spoiler - it's actually really easy! Danny has been pushing the field in understanding fascia as it relates to performance and has done an incredible job simplifying his knowledge for any coach.

On today's episode of MTN, we sat down for our first episode without a guest. We wanted to take a quick break from having guests on to talk about our own thoughts around a topic we have been talking about extensively off the microphone; Elastic v. Muscular Athletes. We talk about defining, describing, identifying, and how we have gone about differentiating the training behind both groups. We know nothing is perfect and wanted some time to record our own thoughts and to hear back what our listeners think themselves. Leave a comment or a DM of what you thought of the show!
