Use What Works

One of the few things I read daily is Howard Lindzon’s blog.

In today’s post he references the following quote:

Use only that which works, and take it from wherever you can find it.
— Bruce Lee

When thinking about training, it’s easy to think of yourself as a strict disciple of Lydiard, Daniels, or Canova. With a solid understanding of physiology, one is able to look for overlap and take what works from any coach or any system.

A great coach shouldn’t be tied to any one system or methodology. Take what works and what makes sense in your own model. Work from general to specific. Adapt for the individual.
