Danny ChaiI recently read this article that talks about Roger Clemens and the secret to both his success and his longevity, and it’s totally counter-intuitive: it’s his legs. When he talks about how he’s doing, he most frequently talks about his legs. His legs are the key to his pitching.
I also read a long time ago that the key to sprinting is upper body strength. Something about how the speed at which you swing your arms drives how fast your legs move, so the faster you can swing, the faster you can run. That’s why the best sprinters are so stacked.
I find both those things totally bizarre. Pitching depends on legs? Sprinting depends on arms? Is there anything else in life that’s like that, where the key to something is something seemingly unrelated? Like is the key to spiritual health swimming? The key to physical health is reading? Someone tell me these secrets.
