Youth sports specialization road to nowhere:
$400 for a bat
$200 for sneakers
$2500 for club team
$$$$$ to travel to tourneys
But no investment into becoming faster, stronger, or more athletic...
Delighted to have passed my PhD viva, subject to minor amendments🥳
Thanks to Professor @mckenn01LBU and Dr @John_Radnor for a fantastic viva experience, and to Professor @ktconditioning , Dr Ian Cowburn, and Professor @Joe_Eisenmann for their brilliant supervision💪🏼📚
