    In this episode, I go a little deeper on reactive strength index (RSI) and why I think its a useful and specific outcome measure. I talk about how I think RSI can be used to identify playmakers or people who have that "it" factor. In my experience, RSI strongly correlates to change of direction ability on the field.
