Things I've Found That Are Awesome #36

A happy Friday to everyone, it's been a fun week up here in the north (insert random joke about Winterfell). I'm a bit early with the post today, but hey it doesn't mean those that feel the day are dragging on can't use it to help them finish their day when they're "doing work".

I think I'll start including a random Instagram post from the week with these pieces, so without further delay. 

Well here goes nothing. #siracha #dontletcatherineaddthesiracha

OK there are a FEW extra things you can add in to help and athlete not wind up on the operating table. The average joe, pretty much can stick to the stuff I talked about. Andrew Millet did a great piece on Mike Reinold's site. A good majority of it focused on testing for risk of ACL injury and working on how to control your speed/power (land and decelerating). Alright go read the thing.
