"Stay away from Palmer’s program at all costs. He is emotionally abusive and overtrains his athletes. In my time in his program at Alabama I saw him manipulate young athletes into staying away from training staff and ignoring doctor’s orders for non-activity constantly. He does not care about the health or well-being of his athletes it is merely a facade. There were girls including myself and roommates who when told by the doctor, that when told to do no activity for 6 weeks, he would force to cross train 2x a day and participate in lifts. He spoke poorly of me to other members of the team and had 1-on-1 meetings to accuse me of going out being the cause of my injuries which was not the case. Save yourself the therapy bill."
