Hey guys, what are some major topics in training that pique your interest?
I'm still building a storehouse of content for my website (http://www.ryanzielonka.com) and want to write stuff that appeals to the educated fitness crowd.
It would be interesting to see your thought processes via a case study - something along JP's suggestion - if you have a golfer come to you what process do you go through to assess both the client & the needs of the sport (with which you may or may not be familiar or a participant) and any injuries or deficiencies and design a program not just for the person but targeted for a particular sport? Maybe golf or if that is too common perhaps a competitive equestrian or even Ultimate Frisbee. Or a bowler or high ranked recreational tennis player.
The process, even if hypothetical, would be interesting I think if there are enough tweaks and tidbits to set it apart from the usual weight loss or "get in shape" client and not a usual sport where there are articles in abundance about sports like football or throwers/baseball.
The particulars based on experience or recent research (e.g. golf) would also be interesting.
Just off the top of my head and for what I'd find interesting.
Golf-specific training. Got anything for that? I'm pretty into it, so it would have to be high-level stuff to keep my interest.
JP, I saw a lecture and did a hands-on session with Dr. Dave Rose of the Titleist Institute yesterday. Excellent material - look him up.
You've got to make it to PB out here next year!

I went to a lecture of his and had a chance to talk to him at length. He seems pretty knowledgeable. His show is decent, except when he features some guy standing on bosu balls swinging a club stating that it increases stability in a golf swing. I applied some of the cool stuff I learned in his lecture though (it was hands on).
And no he didn't have anyone doing dumb shit like that. This guy had some excellent screens and corrective work. Alot of it drawn from Cook, Boyle, Gray etc...

Hey guys, thanks again for the suggestions. In the interim, I have an interview up with Tommy Jeffers. Lurkers of BB.com or BR.com will recognize him as Sporto. Check it out:
Even though i am not a runner... I have been really interested in barefoot running. Love my Vibrams for everything. If anyone is interested in a good interesting book check out Born to Run.
