The Elitefts Sports Performance Training Summit
I would be lying if I didn't say we have been planning this event since May of 2013. There are about a thousand things we need to do better from a logistical standpoint, but overall I couldn't be happier. I could not do this weekend justice without writing an eBook so I will leave you with some quotes from the weekend courtesy of the YSCC. I really appreciate the YSCC giving a live feed on the afternoon with some great quotes.
And here we go! @elitefts Sports Performance Training Summit! #SPTS15 @Elitefts_EduDir pic.twitter.com/mA2XtD0p3i

The best way to evaluate athlete readiness? See if you’re athletes chat during the warm-up. You don’t hear anything, they aren’t ready! — YSCC (@TheYSCC) February 28, 2015
