Wiley Wins!
I just found out my friend and former Minnesota Valkyries teammate, Sara Wiley (pictured at left with a “bring it” expression on her face), won the NSCA collegiate strength and conditioning professional of the year — congrats, Y! She’s the associate director of strength and conditioning for athletics at the University of Minnesota–Twin Cities, and absolutely amazing at what she does (hence the award, obvy).
If you want to check out my March interview with her on developing optimal quadriceps-to-hamstrings strength ratios for knee health, click here.

Very cool. Esp. that she’s located so close to me! I wonder if there’s any way to weasel an interview. Love the expression:)

Hi Jen, I just found your blog through MizFit, and I wanted to thank you for this post. I totally needed the info about knee health, plus the info about hip flexors and lower back pain was helpful, too. I’m thinking I will be a regular reader from now on.
Oh, and congrats to Sara!

Welcome, RooBabs — that’s a nice blog you’ve got there, yourself! (Ah, MizFit, bringing mizfits together in cyberspace …)
For more on common causes of knee pain, check out my “The Benefits of a Superior Posterior” post. I learned the hard way that weak or inactive glutes can cause crazy knee pain.
Charlotte,
Working on getting you that interview — I’ll keep you posted!
