The upcoming workshop in South Florida this January is Grumpy Old Men: Training Over the Age of 40 by Mark Reifkind, Dan John, and Tom Furman. Learn to train properly as we “mature.” This is a workshop not to be missed! (Please note: I have no affiliation with this workshop, I just believe this is an outstanding learning opportunity.)
If you don’t have it, get the great book, The Swing by Mark’s awesome wife, Tracy. She is truly an inspiration to all of us!
And, the book I am currently reading on the topic of “practice” is Practice Perfect: 42 Rules for Getting Better at Getting Better by Doug Lemov et al.
