The Weekly Seminars of Yale’s World Fellows Program

The founder of Granite Point Capital, Warren Lammert has served as the company’s chief investment officer since 2004. Warren Lammert is a graduate of Yale University, where he studied economics and set the stage for his career in finance.

Among the many programs that Yale offers is the Maurice R. Greenberg World Fellows Program. The program runs for four months from August to December each year. It offers students from all over the world an opportunity to learn from each other and expand their vision of what’s possible.

Key to the World Fellows program are its weekly seminars, which the university splits into its Good Society and Salon sessions. Good Society seminars allow World Fellows members to present to one another and typically focus on how the program member hopes to use their talents to build a stronger society. The Salons involve presentations from distinguished speakers on an array of important topics. These speakers often challenge the views that program members hold and serve as the spark for spirited debates.

Using Springs to Build Leg Strength for More Powerful Hockey Shots

Working from his headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts, Warren Lammert serves as the chief investment officer at Granite Point Capital. Prior to beginning his career in finance, Warren Lammert studied at Yale University, where he played for the junior varsity hockey team.

When taking a shot in hockey, the player will first brace their legs to allow them to generate more power. As such, increasing leg strength can increase shot power.

Intermittent sprinting is one of the most effective exercises for improving leg strength. It also helps to improve cardiovascular conditioning, which gives you more stamina during matches.

First, spend about five minutes walking or stretching to warm up your muscles. Then, follow these steps:

- Sprint at 60 percent of your maximum pace for 30 seconds

- Slow to a walk for 120 seconds

- Sprint at 70 percent effort for 60 seconds

- Slow to walk for 120 seconds

- Sprint at 80 percent effort for 60 seconds

- And again, slow to a walk for 120 seconds

Once you reach the 80 percent mark, stay at that level and follow the routine of sprinting and walking for a total of 20 minutes.
