Have you ever stopped to think why you do what you do in training? How much is experience and how much is science. I am always trying to figure out why things work. I know some training methods work and produce results but I am not ultimately comfortable until I know why it works. That does not mean I don’t do it until I find why. Of course, we would never get anything done that way. I firmly believe practitioners lead and scientists follow. But it is our job as practitioners to challenge the scientists to work with us to help validate or invalidate training methods.
