Season 2 episode 1 was a great one!! Cristian is an awesome human being, everything about him just screams genuine. He puts so much into his craft and it's so easy to see that even just through his words alone. I'm a big believer that you can learn so much from others stories and others journeys, we spend a good amount of time going over Cristians background and then the importance of experience in this field and in general. Which brings us into the topic of his pro academy down in Austin, Texas. I ask Cristian if he uses a formal screening/assessment process, which he later talks about how it's not necessarily just about one assessment but how everyday he and his colleagues are reassessing their athletes. We talk about static stretching and if it really makes sense and Cristian has an interesting perspective on "static" stretching - not the traditional take. Mobility and flexibility aren't exactly the same, then once we gain adequate mobility do we keep driving for more?Lastly Cristian touches upon the foot & ankle complex and the importance of training it especially for hoopers.Cristians info:IG - https://www.instagram.com/cristiangplascencia/Durable Athlete - https://durableathlete.com/Texas Pro Academy - https://texasproacademy.com/
