What coaches can learn from the “Fosbury Flop”
This week I read James Altucher's new book, "Skip The Line" (I highly recommend it) and I came across an interesting story: Back in the 1960's, there was a high jumper named Dick Fosbury who was pretty average at the sport. He used to do the high jump just like...
