I just found out my friend and former Minnesota Valkyries teammate, Sara Wiley (pictured at left with a "bring it" expression on her face), won the NSCA collegiate strength and conditioning professional of the year -- congrats, Y! She's the associate director of strength and conditioning for athletics at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, and absolutely amazing at what she does (hence the award, obvy).
If you want to check out my March interview with her on developing optimal quadriceps-to-hamstrings strength ratios for knee health, click here.
Very cool. Esp. that she's located so close to me! I wonder if there's any way to weasel an interview. Love the expression:)
Hi Jen, I just found your blog through MizFit, and I wanted to thank you for this post. I totally needed the info about knee health, plus the info about hip flexors and lower back pain was helpful, too. I'm thinking I will be a regular reader from now on.
Oh, and congrats to Sara!
Welcome, RooBabs -- that's a nice blog you've got there, yourself! (Ah, MizFit, bringing mizfits together in cyberspace ...)
For more on common causes of knee pain, check out my "The Benefits of a Superior Posterior" post. I learned the hard way that weak or inactive glutes can cause crazy knee pain.
Charlotte,
Working on getting you that interview -- I'll keep you posted!
My hero!
