Dr. Marc Lewis is the Director of Applied Sports Science for the Houston Texans, and prior to his time in the NFL, he also had stints at Penn State, Wake Forest, Virginia Tech and the University of South Carolina.

Now today’s show is obviously going to focus on sports science, because that’s kind of his jam.

But I’d argue even if you aren’t hard core about sports science, there’s a ton to be learned here.

For instance, would you be interested in how a small wrestling team using a $347 set-up outperformed a bigger school with fancy tech?

Or the big questions you should ask yourself FIRST, before you make any investment into your sports science program?

If so, you’re going to love this episode – so let’s dive in!
