#29 - Kyle Sammons - Principles Over Methods & Internal Scoreboards.

Kyle Sammons jumps on the pod as today’s guest! Most recently Kyle was hired into the NFL by Arizona Cardinals as the Sports Science Coordinator & Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach. Prior to the NFL, Kyle worked with Strive Tech and was the Coordinator of Sports Science for the University of Washington Football team under Chris Petersen & Tim Socha.

In the first half of this episode, we get in-depth on what came from Kyle’s experience with the return to performance process for two student-athletes with torn achilles. His findings through that process and following principles over methods were the driving force for this conversation. I loved the second half when Kyle shared what he learned from Chris Petersen during his time at UW and how his identity continues to evolve.
