"Faster, Higher, Stronger" isn't just the Olympics motto ("Citius, Altius, Fortius"). It's also the title of a fascinating new book by Mark McClusky, subtitled "How Sports Science Is Creating A New Generation Of Superathletes," When Mark joined me on KTRS, the topics we covered included:
Is there such a thing as a modern athlete who excels on just talent?
Is there a lot of snake oil being sold to athletes?
What's the effect of long road trips on teams on the coasts vs. middle of America?
Does playing "Madden NFL" and similar video games make players better?
Is America the best at Sports Science?
How does Usain Bolt, world's fastest man, compare to Jesse Owens?
