In the latest Performance Concepts Chat, Derek Hansen and John Abreu discuss the value of incorporating “free play” into the routines of athletes, both young and old, in an effort to foster greater performance.

These are important questions as we move forward to develop strategies for both fitness and performance with youth athletes.
