Heavy/Light is the first manual to create a full-season block periodization approach for athletes competing in the Scottish Highland Games. The goal of this manual is to create an easy-to-follow foundation for what do to on the practice field, and how to make the best of your time practicing the throws. This is built as a companion piece to Matt Vincent's Strength Lab, but it can be paired with any strength and conditioning program if you are a Highland Games athlete.Any sport played at a higher level involves deconstructing the way it's played into drills, variations, and then approaching game speed. The Highland Games should be treated no differently.

Each year, tens of thousands of people flock to Grandfather Mountain, North Carolina, and to more than two hundred other locations across the country to attend Scottish Highland Games and Gatherings. There, kilt-wearing participants compete in athletics, Highland dancing, and bagpiping, while others join clan societies in celebration of a Scottish heritage. As Celeste Ray notes, however, the Scottish affiliation that Americans claim today is a Highland Gaelic identity that did not come to characterize that nation until long after the ancestors of many Scottish Americans had left Scotland. Ray explores how Highland Scottish themes and lore merge with southern regional myths and identities to produce a unique style of commemoration and a complex sense of identity for Scottish Americans in the South. Blending the objectivity of the anthropologist with respect for the people she studies, she asks how and why we use memories of our ancestral pasts to provide a sense of identity and community in the present. In so doing, she offers an original and insightful examination of what it means to be Scottish in America.
