Is Prevention Training in HPO Useless?: The Myth of Standardized Assessments with Dr. Chris Juneau, PT, DPT, SCS, CSCS

Join Doc's Sarah & Alyse while we have a great professional banter session with our friend and colleague Dr. Chris Juneau! We discuss the potential "rubbish" that is standardized assessments and what may be a better choice when working in the human performance field. 

In this episode we chat about:

• Is prevention useless and a post analytic fallacy?
• How resiliency is not the most important factor to train to in HPO.
• Do confidence and force production relate?
• Are you REALLY in control of the outcome of HPO programming? Or is it just good genetics?
• The #1 prediction for injury? Is previous injury. 
• If you're not training to the standard deviation, you are doing it wrong.
