Increasing your knowledge

How much reading, of a non-fiction book, do you do?

Over the past month I have learned that you can read and increase your knowledge a lot by simply dedicating time to reading 10 pages per day.

So I have dedicated my first quiet hour each morning to coffee and reading…

But wait, it gets better.

To put things into context, I have always loved resistance training since I was a kid. Being in the gym has been like a second home to be. Confidence. Strength. Power. The feelings bring a rush through my body.

I also realized that during my 20+ years of coaching competitive swimming, knowledge of resistance training for swimmers was lacking. And most often than not it is the coach, with limited knowledge of resistance training, providing dryland training programs to the swimmers. Or it is a trainer with limited knowledge of competitive swimming providing dryland training programs to the swimmers.

One of the books I have been focusing on recently is Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning with a goal to obtain my Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists® (CSCS®) certification.

Does the book mention or reference competitive swimmers, yes it does. But it also mentions that there is so much more research that is needed.

All I can say is that I am addicted and loving my reading and learning.

I encourage everyone to read just 10 pages every day. You will surprise yourself with how much you learn.
