Brian McCormick's Hard2Guard Player Development Newsletters, Volume 8 provides real world and well-researched answers to the questions many do not think to ask. Is there a better way to train to prevent non-contact ACL injuries? Why is it easier to include a new drill than exclude drills? How low is too low? What is the purpose of drills? Volume 8 of the Hard2Guard Player Development Newsletter was published bi-weekly in 2018, while McCormick coached an NJCAA Division 1 women's basketball team. Volume 8 views basketball differently. What should scouts really be looking for? Are mistakes the path to mastery or encoding an incorrect performance? Should every player do push-ups? How important is sleep? Volume 8 covers a variety of subjects, and each chapter contains information and ideas a player or coach can implement into their practices and development today.
