“Use the data correctly to make them the best athletes they can be.”“It doesn’t matter what the technical model says, if it doesn’t add up for the individual, we don’t do it.”“What right for an individual athlete is what’s right for them, and we don’t push things that don’t need to be pushed.”“No matter what information is out there, it’s the human that’s important.”This episode of The Podcast is brought to you by Exxentric, the makers of the kBox and kPulley.
