Episode 322: The Term Tactical Athlete - Good or Bad (or Useful?)

from Tactical Fitness Report with Stew Smith Podcast · host Stew Smith

I was on their podcast a few months ago and much that we both do agrees we should train like athletes - that we should consider ourselves athletes. What do you think?  There is a difference in the way athletes and tactical athletes train through- See new article on the topic of being functionally durable:  https://www.stewsmithfitness.com/blogs/news/functional-durability-the-tactical-fitness-approach-for-military-readinessThere is more on tactical fitness at https://www.stewsmithfitness.com
