Brett Bartholomew: Performance Specialist at Exos (Formerly Athletes Performance)
I had the chance to meet Brett at the NSCA National conference this past summer. I really liked a series he did on emotional intelligence. Brett also submitted a program for boxers in the Programs that Work Manual this year.
Brett is in charge of the NFL off-season preparation program for Exos and was featured on espn.com.
Brett has become a good friend and in my opinion, is one of the bright young minds in sports performance. This is an outstanding interview and I think you'll gain a lot of insight from Brett.
