Sommario/riassunto

When the Dallas Cowboys hired Dr. Bob Ward to update and modernize their strength and conditioning program, he became the first full-time conditioning coach in the National Football League. What he installed was revolutionary. His concepts, theories, and models based on science and extensive use of "analytics" would transform the NFL and soon be adopted by nearly every other team in professional sports. From back cover.
