Today is a Q&A session, where we answer some of the questions you have sent me!


In todays episode we talk about how to recover from workouts and how most of your recovery is actually done before you even work out. We also talk about how to structure a basketball workout by breaking down your overall goals and using motor control science to get the most out of your workout and really improve your game. And finally we talk about how you can continue to improve your game during the academic year when time is tight. The answer might not be what you expected......
