Training people in sport as coaches or in fitness as personal trainers is certainly rewarding work. But there's a problem: What do we do next? There are countless books on diet and exercise and hundreds of machines, devices, and gimmicks to train people, and new gadgets and gizmos are popping up with every passing day.

Can You Go? answers this question: What do we need to do next?

Appropriate assessment leads to an appropriate answer. When we find a mobility issue, let's focus on mobility work. The same is true for both body composition and strength - we focus on what we need to do, not what we want to do.

For the performance athlete, sometimes assessment can be the short, brutal, and harsh question, "Can you go?" Lessons from this frankness can be learned by both the coach and the trainer. The deconditioned and the elite share the same basic human body. Our job is to enhance performance and quality of life with every training situation.

As I age and become wiser I realize the depth of Dan John's work. As I listened to this, I found myself smiling and shaking my head while thinking "This is brilliant." There are so many gems throughout this book. And each gem isn't just great advice; it's years or decades of wisdom condensed down into a sentence clarity. Condensing makes it simple, but I think it also makes it easy to miss... Listen closely! As you learn in this field and in life, you'll look back and see a wealth of knowledge contained in Can You Go... If you're wiser than I, you'll see that sooner, rather than later.

FANTASTIC LISTEN!! (And read, of course. I bought the book as well.)

A diamond mine...

If you could sum up Can You Go? in three words, what would they be?

Minimalist, Simplicity, and Awesome.

Any additional comments?

Having gone to a Dan John seminar a few times, his work really resonates with my principles of physical fitness. Like all his other pieces, this is well written, easy to follow, and read by Dan himself. I would definitely encourage others to read this book.

Awesome....as usual.

Wish he had this professionally narrated. It was difficult to follow because authors narration. Great info. I'd recommend a hard copy of the book instead.

Dan hits the nail on the head...again. I enjoy the relatable way he discusses his topics. The only downfall of this recording is the quality. There is a lot of echo which can make it hard to hear and tough to listen to at first. Eventually I was able to block it out but it was distracting ever so often.

Always enlightening

Dan John is the real deal. "Eat like an adult" is so simple but unfortunately we need to hear it. He talks about honest assessments and corrective exercises. He eschews the single joint, mirror muscle exercises in favor of compound work that builds strength, fitness and has applications in the real world. This audiobook is on my IPod permanently. I can skip to any section and be inspired. All of his work is great.
