## Resource

Schultze and Jorge break down the problem with over-specializing in training too early. They discuss why chasing hyper specific methods, sport specific drills, or isolated movement fixes often misses the bigger picture, and why most clients and athletes need a stronger general foundation before narrowing their focus. https://www.instagram.com/brandon.schultze/ https://www.instagram.com/jorgedehoyos_/ FREE Coach's Field Guide: https://www.pre-script.com/coachs-field-guide Join the PSL1 Waitlist For Our Only Course Discount: https://www.pre-script.com/psl1
