Why American football’s strength and conditioning doesn’t, and shouldn’t, resemble other sports
October 22, 2018

One blurb to catch us up, “The standardized mortality ratio, SMR, is the rate compared to the general U.S. population. At 1.80, […]
Why is the U.S. so bad at soccer?
June 18, 2018
I’m not sure I can give a satisfactory answer to this question, but I do know I can dispel the most commonly given reasons. This isn’t going to be a rigorous analysis.
