Big thanks to @sweatscience Alex Hutchinson for including BALLISTIC in his Outside Magazine 2025 Summer reading list.
“…by the end of the book, I couldn’t help thinking, ‘Man, I’d like this guy to take a look at my running stride.’”

Jordan Ott said he had Devin Booker for 1-on-0 draft workout and remembers how he communicated and competed with himself. They left the workout knowing he was different.
“He’s in his prime, he’s ready to rock. And we need to help him. That’s my job as a coach.” – 6:12 PM

More on this storyline

Devin Booker becomes eligible for a two-year, $150 million contract extension on July 6 that the 28-year-old is widely expected to secure. Booker, remember, was brought into the coaching search in its final week or so for discussions with a few prime candidates -via marcstein.substack.com / June 7, 2025
The Rockets’ young talent, draft capital and team success (winning 41 and 52 games over the past two seasons) make them a natural fit for star players who may become available. As mentioned last month, longterm interest in Suns star guard Devin Booker has cooled, team and league sources said. -via New York Times / June 5, 2025
John Gambadoro: What they liked about Ott was work ethic/drive and a different level of sophistication with his offensive system than the other candidates. Got seal of approval from Devin Booker. And Steve Nash had very positive feedback as well. -via x.com / June 4, 2025
