Eric Schmitt is the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Memphis Grizzlies. He has been putting out some tremendous content on IG (@coacheschmitt) in regard to conditioning tests, analysis of said tests and practical application for athletes given their conditioning profiles. We talk about this, his current energy systems framework when viewing oxygen as the currency driving all three systems, the power/duration relationship, breathwork for low-intensity exercise and how to keep your eye on the demands of the sport itself rather than pursuing fitness via other means.

Eric's ability to hone in on what matters is second to none and vital for the rest of us to develop. There are so many systems in play that can affect conditioning and there is much research dedicated to it. It's difficult to make sense of it all. Eric does that here and I can't wait to look at this through his lens.
