Hi, Sam, I'm just reading your question here. It says should I schedule my weekly lifts by body part or by movement push/pull? I think that's a tricky question. The way I like to set things up is depending on your goals and your time, and what your schedule allows you and dictates. So, for instance, if you has a very specific goal where you're saying to yourself, hey I've got two weeks to do as much as I can, then I might say, hey, let's go by body parts. You can really break each body part down. But if you're saying, hey, I'm in season and I really have three days to lift a week, then I'm looking at a movement, push/pull, upper and lower together, some core work. So I really think that the way you dictate the workout depends on your schedule, your availability, and how much time you really have to dedicate to working out. I hope that helps, Sam.

All right, this is-- obviously, tons of great advice. But the one that sticks out when I was younger, and I think it applies to every job and everything, is my old boss, when I worked construction, it said, use your bean. So that's use your brain. And it's as simple as that. But a lot of times, we make rash decisions or make decisions without thinking about it. So in construction, you're, like, hey, you got to use your bean. So, you know, I pick up a-- I pick up of sledge hammer. I start to swing it, but I didn't check the surroundings. Or I pick up a sledge hammer, and I start hitting this thing, and I don't look around. There's actually wires near there. It's simple stuff like that. And it applies to, obviously, all our sports. In training, use your bean. You know, if somebody says that they want to work this hard, but you know that they're not prepared to do it, and use your brain and know that they shouldn't do it, and don't make them do it. So use your bean.

Hey, Brett, your question, which plays a bigger role in basketball strength or conditioning. So, this is a highly debated question. Often in the NBA to me. You need a conditioning base to be successful. But the bigger to me, the bigger role playing aspect is the strength training strength, allows you to do a little bit more, the battling, the hitting the body, contacts, the stopping and going. I think, I think people realize that the difference between football and basketball is the huge vertical component that often happens. So the strength component of Landing absorbing to me that plays a bigger role conditioning is a huge part of basketball, but there's a lot of stopping and guns is a lot of stops. There's a lot of whistles, a lot of fouls play often stops. So if your strength is there, you can have you little more successful than if your conditioning, you look at these Weekend Warriors, they doubt their Are and and play. And the first thing they see is that they're out of breath and stuff. So yeah, their conditioning is bad, but they still play because they have some strength, you know, it is a, it is tricky and it's a closed and you need both. But if you'd ask me again, Brett, I would say strength training.

All right, she got 10 minutes a day. What are you doing? Strength-wise thinking gotta do a circuit into some kind of getting your heart rate. Up, trying to build multiple muscle groups at one time. So some, I'd probably start with a push-up standard push-up. Something can do a good amount with then I would probably do like a some kind of light, plyo, maybe a squat jump or a split squat to a hop switch to the opposite side then probably end up doing some kind of some kind of core exercise. Maybe doing some plank up down Downs. Maybe grab a stability ball and do some some, some kind of arm out and ends with the feet on the ball or the hands of the ball. Just some kind of core work there and I might try to do some handstand push-ups. If I was in really good shape, again, love those and then then come back to the leg exercise. Maybe do a single leg. S LDL to a skip the combination of everything and Kind of cycle through that a bunch of times for 10 minutes.

Hey, Melanie. Thanks for the question. How did you wind up working with the Celtics? I think it's just such a random thing and I think for me, I'm a person that believes things happen for a reason. But I was actually working with other professional sports and one of the agents had recommended me, looking into this six full court, basketball facility, that was being built, and they needed to hire someone. Well, I interviewed for a job, I got the job, but I found out the job was not in Massachusetts where I lived, so come to find out. People involved any Angels one of them teenage then got the job with the Celtics as the general manager, they reached out to me to see if I'd be interested in interview for the job. I interviewed for the job and I got the job, I was there for about 15 years and enjoyed my time. So but all the work it took to get up to there. You know, I've worked with different athletes and from all levels, Olympic Pro, High School, junior, high regular Ants that I've had I think all of that has prepared me to work when I worked for the Celtics, but that's how I got my job with the Celtics. So thanks for the question.

Yes. Is the answer to the question? I do regular strength training in the reason is that I am getting older and so every day I lose muscle mass lean body mass and so I want to a keep up with my children. I have six children and so keeping up with them is super important to me too. I want to keep my metabolism, High 3 on, be strong enough to do the things that I enjoy. Like play sports run around the kids. Move stuff around the house, whatever that is. And I think also obviously strength training, a emotionally gets me in a better place. It's just so so many benefits to strength training at any age. And so, especially at my age, I want to make sure that I'm getting my training in so I don't, I can protect my joints. I can unload certain areas of my body, I can just, you know, every every reason you should strength training reason, Not too, I don't know many obviously time is one thing but if you want to keep getting older, it's the quality of life, not the quantity, I mean, so that's what I want to try to do is have a great high quality of life. So, strength training is part of my routine.
