(Surprise!) Mariah Carey Throws Like a Girl

Actually worse. I don’t even know how to describe that throw. Oh wait, yes I do. Wait for it. Wait for it. Muhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. To think that all these years I have worshiped you and you can’t even throw a baseball more than five feet! I’m so embarrassed. *Tears down Mariah Carey poster from 1995 off… Read more

Q and A (Ankle Mobility and an Ouchie)

Q: Hello Mr. Gentilcore, I am a college basketball player and I suffered an ankle sprain this past December and after going to physical therapy I still have a pinching tightness in the anterior part of my ankle that comes whenever I try to stretch my achilles.

I Lift Heavy Stuff While Rockin Out to (HARF HARF) John Mayer

After watching that video you’re probably thinking one of two things: 1. That’s an awesome Captain America t-shirt that Tony is wearing. 2.

I was going to discuss the finer points of glycolysis today, and how in cells that lack mitochondria, such as the erythrocyte, the pathway of glycolysis is the sole provider of ATP by the mechanism of substrate-level phosphorylation of ADP. But no one is paying attention to the words I’m writing because OH MY GOD… Read more

The “Kids”

Since last September, I have been training the “kids.” Will, Nick, and Connor (ages 9-11) are all close friends who come to Cressey Performance every Saturday morning at 10 AM. To say that it’s one of the more entertaining hours of the week is an understatement. I know what many of you might be thinking:… Read more
