Coach Glass Podcast

We strive everyday to be the best. It is ingrained in us from when we are kids. Our heroes stood against evil to save the day! Our sports heroes come through when the championship was on the line.

I thought this was a common belief worldwide until I came to Scandinavia...

I don’t care how much power you have in your legs. Triple extension up the ying yang means nothing if it isn't moving in the right direction. The Pelvis acts like the transmission on a car. It takes the energy from the engine and moves it with just the right amount of torque, speed and direction to maximize power output. The #PelvicPowerhouse has 3 key components. The Pelvic Tilt, Pelvic Rotation,...
