Hey everyone, I'm Dr. Kelly Starrett.

And I'm Juliette.

And this is the Ready State.

You got it.

When Kelly and I decided to start it, we knew we wanted to put a focus on training kids.

We recently spoke to Jeff and Mickey Martin of the Brand X method, who are gurus in developing

physically competent kids that move like all stars and are set up to be athletes for life.

We touched on sports specialization in that episode, but in this episode, we really dive into

that subject with our friend Eric Cressy.

Yeah, Eric is the founder of Cressy Sports Performance.

What's interesting about Eric is that he's a father, he's a high-level superstar, and if you

live in baseball, you have run into

Eric Cressy.

He has trained more and prepared more All-Stars and rock star baseball players than anyone

else on the planet.

He's a real specialist in specialization.

But what's interesting is that, like us all, at some point, he had to go back and become

a generalist and really begin to talk about

how do we prepare kids for the rigors of specialization? And so in his kind of quest to make elite

athletes in a special domain, he's had to go back and undo a lot of the old problems. Yeah,

I mean, he's really great at helping kids get the most out of their sport

without avoiding the peril while avoiding the perils of overtraining. He's an expert at that.
