Philadelphia Flyers Strength Coach – Jim McCrossin

This week’s interview, we sat down with Philadelphia Flyers Strength Coach, Athletic Trainer, and Director of Sports Medicine, Jim McCrossin. Jim has been with the Flyers for nearly 20 years now and is considered one of the best in the business. In this interview, we asked three very common questions that many individuals have when it comes to health and fitness. We wanted to look at the macro side of things in order to hopefully give out the best advice for the masses to be able to utilize. We hope you enjoy our rapid fire, three-question interview with the man himself, Jim McCrossin.
