💪 Titans Hire Brent Callaway from Dolphins
The Tennessee Titans have hired Brent Callaway, former Miami Dolphins S&C coach, as assistant strength and conditioning coach.
Callaway spent 17+ years at EXOS, helping over 500 athletes through the pre-NFL draft process before joining the Dolphins in 2025. He began his career as sports performance director at Velocity Sports Performance (2003-08). Callaway will work under Robert Saleh, who was hired as Titans head coach on Jan. 22. This is Callaway's second NFL role. Read More
🧠 Hard Things Build Neural Adaptations to Make Life Easier
Dr. Nicholas Fabiano recently resurfaced a study on the anterior mid-cingulate cortex (aMCC)—a brain region that gets stronger when you do hard things.
The aMCC performs cost/benefit calculations for persistence and regulates effort. The paradox: doing hard things trains this region to make future challenges easier. The aMCC develops through challenge, becoming more efficient over time. Regular exercise strengthens it, and preserved aMCC anatomy is linked to successful aging. Read More
🏈 Giants Hire Sam Rosengarten as Director of High Performance

Rosengarten has 17+ years in professional sports and presented injury-prevention concepts to the NFL Physician Society at the 2020 Combine. He's published research in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Read More
📈 It's Never Too Late to Get Fit
Dr. William Wallace shared a study that tracked 427 people from age 16 to 63. The big takeaway: if you start training late, you can still reach your peak fitness—it just happens later in life.
Everyone's aerobic capacity peaks around age 30, then declines slowly until 50, then drops faster. But people who were inactive early and got serious later didn't just slow their decline—they actually reached their personal best fitness in their 40s, later than people who trained their whole lives. The catch? Your ceiling is lower if you didn't build a base in your 20s and 30s. But a lower peak you actually reach beats one you never did. Read More
