    As with Meyers' trainer, why not put these dudes on the payroll?

    Damn that cat is living a great lifestyle. That was a great read. He's great at what he does.

    I imagine he prefers doing what he's already doing.

    Would love to see this improvement from CJ. Had some real bad looks last year loosing the ball in traffic and not finding his teammates after breaking down the D.

    there's a big difference between regular and off-season training anyway.

    Keep them on as day to day, while these personal trainers focus on big picture. #office

    That article seems intriguing on the surface, but has an utter lack of technical substance. What I take from it is, Brickley is no different than the million other trainers, just he's very good at social media marketing and befriending the athletes. I mean seriously, he needs recommendations from everyone in the room what meaningful tat to get? Vapor Ware.

    Because there's likely not a whole lot you can do with them during the regular season, with the travel, practice and game schedule. So you'd be paying them for the offseason, but here, CJ paid for it himself. Meyers paid for his own. Dame, etc. If a player isn't willing to do that work on an individual basis, it will inevitably cost him his job, so let them train privately in the offseason.
