Stuff You Should Read: 4/27/10

Here are some reading recommendations for the week:
Q&A: Partial Knee Meniscectomy – Here is a great blog from Mike Robertson about training modifications for those who have had a portion of the meniscus removed. Mike’s a brilliant knee guy (definitely check out Bulletproof Knees if you haven’t already). Stick around Mike’s site and read a bit; he’s been kicking out some great content lately.
 Are You Inflamed? – This is a good one on the nutrition side of things from Mike Roussell.
What Makes Roy Run? – This was an awesome article about Roy Halladay from a few weeks ago in Sports Illustrated. To be blunt, a ton of professional baseball pitchers are lazy, one-trick ponies who rely on natural talent and don’t work hard to fulfill their potential. Halladay is an exception to that rule: a guy who has worked incredibly hard to become arguably the best pitcher in the game. This is a tremendously well-written and entertaining piece about the path he took and how he deserves every bit of success that comes his way. Phillies fans are lucky to have him.

Why can’t we get a pitcher like Halladay? His preparation and dedication should be a wake-up call to all pitchers who want to be great!

Great article about Halladay. My favorite line, though: “Roy Halladay is the Cy Young of pitching”
