Check out these three highlights:

1. Drake shares how he built trust with the athletes at University of Illinois after coming in mid-season to work with them. 

"The athletes have to see that the people that they trust trust you,  respect what you're doing, and are fully bought in on what you're bringing to the table"

"As a sports scientist, you're making assumptions based off of very small changes in metrics in whatever you're looking at,  you're using stats, and some of these changes are just a couple of centimeters apart so if you're not collecting accurate data, then we can't really make accurate assumptions that you can then use to guide your training and your planning."

3. Drake was a part of creating the The Coaches vs. COVID Project and shares how the strength and conditioning community came together to help those affected.
