The Director's Cut: Episode 10 - Bear Crawl-Gate

The Director's Cut

On the latest edition of the 'Director's Cut', I am joined by Head Coaches Chris Rice and Velocity Adult Program Coordinator Steve Calarco, as we discuss 'Bear Crawl-Gate'. For those unfamiliar, here in the state of Massachusetts there was a recent story where head coaches from a few towns over were recently dismissed from their coaching roles over the use of bear crawls in their team's performance program. As such, the three of us decided to discuss this rather controversial news story, especially given the fact that bear-crawls are for many coaches, a staple of their sports performance programs. We discuss whether this benign exercise can really be the root cause of so much trouble, as well as the impact this story is having on the sports performance field at large.
