Show Notes:

What does the Wizard of Oz, McDonald's, and high performance sports have in common? Today, we're pulling back the curtain to find out what really makes something successful with Dr. Pat Davidson. Dr. Pat is an independent trainer, consultant, author, and lecturer in NYC who employs critical thinking skills and rationale in all his systems. In this podcast, we'll be discussing the reality of training programs to see what makes them tick and the best ways to utilize them. We also explore biomechanics and movement algorithms in the field of strength & conditioning, and Pat's operational approach to training three different classifications. This episode will have you rethinking the way you view training and high performance athletes going forward. Compete at the highest level by seeing through the smoke and mirrors!
