Can You Go?

Assessments and Program Design for the Active Athlete and Everybody Else

De: Dan John

Narrado por: Dan John

Training people in sport as coaches or in fitness as personal trainers is certainly rewarding work. But there's a problem: What do we do next? There are countless books on diet and exercise and hundreds of machines, devices, and gimmicks to train people, and new gadgets and gizmos are popping up with every passing day.

Can You Go? answers this question: What do we need to do next?

Appropriate assessment leads to an appropriate answer. When we find a mobility issue, let's focus on mobility work. The same is true for both body composition and strength - we focus on what we need to do, not what we want to do.

For the performance athlete, sometimes assessment can be the short, brutal, and harsh question, "Can you go?" Lessons from this frankness can be learned by both the coach and the trainer. The deconditioned and the elite share the same basic human body. Our job is to enhance performance and quality of life with every training situation.

Audio listening helped me connect w/ Author.

Loved this material and would recommend to friends, associates - anyone interested in fitness! 😊

A diamond mine...

As I age and become wiser I realize the depth of Dan John's work. As I listened to this, I found myself smiling and shaking my head while thinking "This is brilliant." There are so many gems throughout this book. And each gem isn't just great advice; it's years or decades of wisdom condensed down into a sentence clarity. Condensing makes it simple, but I think it also makes it easy to miss... Listen closely! As you learn in this field and in life, you'll look back and see a wealth of knowledge contained in Can You Go... If you're wiser than I, you'll see that sooner, rather than later.

FANTASTIC LISTEN!! (And read, of course. I bought the book as well.)

Must read for coaches and anybody involved in fitn

I could listen to Dan for hours. So much experience and common sence in every sentence.

Awesome....as usual.

If you could sum up Can You Go? in three words, what would they be?

Minimalist, Simplicity, and Awesome.

Any additional comments?

Having gone to a Dan John seminar a few times, his work really resonates with my principles of physical fitness. Like all his other pieces, this is well written, easy to follow, and read by Dan himself. I would definitely encourage others to read this book.

Great info

Wish he had this professionally narrated. It was difficult to follow because authors narration. Great info. I'd recommend a hard copy of the book instead.
