Summary

In this conversation, Jason Weber discusses the complexities of asymmetry in athletic recovery, emphasizing the importance of understanding an athlete's unique signature and the role of technology in measuring performance. He critiques traditional methods of assessing recovery and advocates for a data-driven approach to rehabilitation, particularly through his company, SpeedSig. The discussion highlights the need for accurate measurements to inform recovery strategies and improve athletic performance.
