Episode Synopsis
Send us a text"If you don't know history, it's as if you were born yesterday. If you were born yesterday, then any leader can tell you anything." - Howard Zinn.“The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.” - Winston Churchill.“The more you know of your history, the more liberated you are.” - Maya Angelou.In this episode, we look back through history and the forgotten contributions of one of the ultimate greats in our field of sports performance, Dr. Bondarchuk.Dr. B was a pioneer in the study of Transfer of Training, individualization of training, and periodization. His results and the results of his athletes speak for themselves. (12 World Records. His athletes won Gold, Silver, and Bronze in three Olympic Games. That’s every Olympic hammer medal for 12 years in a row.)His work should be commonplace knowledge in our field.
