Show Notes

On this epsiode, I welcome Dr Mike Piekarski aka. @doctor_kickass about to talk about S&C for MMA.

As I discuss with Mike, I've believe that in being so focused on skill development in practice, I've been  guilty of undervaluing the role of S&C, in particular when it comes to competition.

My concern with not cutting into valuable 'learning' time, inevitably had me neglect and deemphasize  the importance of S&C. 

As part of rebalancing  and moving forward with my team. I reached out to Mike for some insight, advice and direction.

Being a BJJ blackbelt, a former MMA fighter and an active Dr of Physical Therapy, Mike seemed to be an obvious choice to invite on for discussion.

I very much enjoyed talking with him, and encourage anyone in the MMA space to give him a follow on IG where he posts most of his content. 

I do plan to have more S&C coaches and scientists on going forward as a part of my rebalancing of training focus. 

Onwards and Upwards! Enjoy the convo with Dr Kickass!
