Sasha's guest today is Henry Abbott, a fellow child of the Oregon countryside who grew up to become an NBA fanatic, an award-winning journalist, the leader of ESPN’s 60-person NBA digital and print team—and now, the author of a groundbreaking new book, Ballistic: The New Science of Injury-Free Athletic Performance.
In this lively and insightful conversation, Henry and Sasha explore the powerful intersection of sports, movement, and injury prevention. They talk about the biomechanics behind athletic performance, the joy of movement rooted in our childhood experiences, and the surprising ways storytelling shapes our understanding of sports. Henry shares key insights from Ballistic, including the role of personalized training, how the wrong footwear can derail performance, and why embracing play is essential—not just for athletes, but for anyone who moves.
