Read MoreOverall, I thought this was a good course. There were times I thought Coach Brodie went off on a tangent or two and got a little off script, but he would bring his thoughts back and relate them to the topic on hand. I would've liked to have seen some more examples of exercises in the actual presentation (although there were a good number in the course resources). The information was presented clearly. And I will always remember, "Joint position dictates muscle function."
