Been a minute (over 3 years) since talking shop in a public arena and couldn’t think of a better person to share stories, experiences, insight gained through the many hats worn over my career. Thanks to great friend Mickey Brueckner for having me on!

RT @DocHolmberg12: This was excellent Many many pearls of wisdom Appreciate your leadership in the field ⁦⁦⁦@DrBradDeWeese⁩ https://t.co…

Great questions posed here. Broadly speaking, an often overlooked and rather complicated answer is the fact that injury incidence is an ORGANIZATIONAL ISSUE, not simply throwing a “sport science bandage” on the wound and 🙏 things improve. It all starts with absolute ALIGNMENT between the coaches, front office, support staff, and players. If there is low harmony between any of these groups, the likelihood of player development to availability will be compromised.

@hparker_13 A hell of a squad!

A prime example of utilizing medicine ball throws to overload and support the skill of acceleration. Below, a side toss to chase was prescribed in the GPP to assist in the priming of transitional sprinting from a lead. While it may appear #baseball specific, the same cues apply: “stay braced during the twist” “let the ball pull you out”, “hips ahead of heels”, “beat the ball”. Proper Training is Universal.

Great job @drpetertierney….this is why the “solution” to one challenge may not be the same for a similar challenge. Often, (in the end) simple tools can be leveraged to overcome the obstacle but the problem-solving process cannot begin with a reductionist mindset.

Great conversation @Challenger_ST and additional context @lqstrengthcoach. Athlete monitoring allows for an audit of the long term plan by highlighting alterations (both enhanced and suppressed) that align with the “phase of training” which then stages those acute monitoring outcomes to drive programming revisions that keeps an athlete on pace for desired achievement. This to say, correct…..one cannot expect all qualities to improve simultaneously and when one understands (objectively) how a plan influences physical development, they can arrange tactics in a manner to optimize readiness to be punctuated at the right #time.

Jumps provide great insight particularly when aligned with context derived from the training plan.

@DrJohnPWagle This is such wonderful news! Congrats to all.

I’m sure you can guess my response. Exposure to high-force producing efforts is necessary to influence a myriad of internal factors ranging from neural optimization/ joint coordination/ fiber recruitment/ load-tissue compliance/ not to mention the psychological components. The outward display of strength (load on the bar or the ratio to BW) is irrelevant as it’s all relative to the athlete’s current state….don’t chase numbers, chase appropriately timed and dosed exposure. Thanks for tagging me in fellas, hope y’all are well. 💪🏼 👊

Happy to see this ⛰️ gain funding and protection so that the community will be afforded access to this increasingly rare, untouched landscape. Great work @SAHC; thank you for taking care of “home” and honored to represent you later this season 👟

@DrBJTemple1 Facts!

@ResilientPPT Absolutely! Integrating controlled and timely (pun intended) “ballistic/ dynamic” movements (or their derivatives) early on in the RTP process is of high value as it permits more complex tasks….that more closely resemble game/ positional…. to be prescribed.

Performance Leadership is more than sets-reps-player load-management plans. It’s staging a vision and navigating others toward success. Details below 👇

#sprinting complexes…..overload, challenge, & stabilize the skill now…..fly fast later. ✈️
