In this podcast I wanted to give you two valuable tools that you can use with your athletes (and on yourself if you'd like) to quickly identify whether they objectively have stiff calves or loose ankles. You can then use this information to enhance performance and prevent injuries.

These are:

  • Star excursion
  • Knee to wall assessment

I hope you enjoy the episode :)
