Mark Murdock joins the podcast to chat about how whole body cryotherapy and other recovery modalities are changing sports fitness and athletic training. Murdock discusses the latest cutting-edge recovery methods from the point of view as a former coach; introducing the concept of infrared light therapy which has been shown to reduce oxidative stress and to help rapid recovery, improved sleep and increased strength and performance. Murdock talks about his involvement in the Nike Oregon Project, as well as how the majority of technology on athletic recovery is coming from the U.S. Military.

Athletic training has never been covered on the podcast prior, so it is a perfect storm when the Director of Sports Medicine at the University of Puget Sound Athletic Department comes on. Craig Bennett is not just an advocate for his industry, but also the president of the Washington State Athletic Trainers Association. Bennett discusses a lot of the issues surrounding athlete health, especially when it comes to the club and high school level concerning who is monitoring and administrating care.
