This is the 15th anniversary of my blog - https://functionalpathtraining.typepad.com/ I started it in August 2005 after I left the madness of six months with the Nike Oregon Project. Initially I started it to help get me in the routine of writing everyday so that I could finish my book Athletic Development – The Art & Science of Functional Sports Conditioning. I finished the book and it was published in 2007.
I also used the blog to regain my focus on what was good about sport and training after what appeared to be a dream job turned into complete horror show. The Oregon Project experience was one of the low points of my life. I learned a lot about corporate greed, cheating to beat the system to win medals. The blog has helped me move forward from those dark days. Through the blog I have connected with coaches that are coaching clean and fair and willing to learn. Someday if I ever write a novel it will be about those six months with the Oregon Project. The title will probably be A Dirty Shit Show.
For you loyal readers thanks for following me all these years. I hope I can keep stimulating thought and providing good information to make the best better.
