After my⚾️career ended, Janelle and I made a 5 yr plan. Yesterday we reached that goal and I became a DPT! Required many late nights of studying, but wouldn't have been possible without the support from my beautiful wife who carried so much weight t/o the process.

Great read about scapular function. Big takeaway is shifting our thinking from training for scapular stability to robustness.
Robustness - tolerance for uncertainty, which allows for degrees of movement variability.

Coaches often highlight the need to include single-leg work to help strength programs "carry over" better to the real world of athletics, but rarely do you hear fitness professionals talking about the importance of unilateral upper body exercises. More: instagram.com/p/BhVJUpLnkkV/

Quick screen of cervical rotation to the lead shoulder for throwers, hitters, golfers, etc. is rarely checked but should be. Could be the reason why they don't reach optimal loading and/or open up early, leading to suboptimal performance and increased stress placed on the body.
Doing the same workout(s) for 2, 4, 6 months? Not making any progress?
It's called progressive overload for a reason. Look to increase the stress placed on your body from the previous workout by changing variables (exercise selection, intensity, volume, frequency, rest cycles).
1 of the top, often overlooked, recovery tools from training and daily stress is adequate sleep. 1st step to ⬆️ sleep shouldn't be pills
1.Consistent bed and wake time
2.Turn off electronics 30-60 min before bed
3.Pitch dark room
4. 5-10 min focused breathing before bed

OFFICIAL AVERAGES FROM THE 2018 NFL Combine - these were the best college football players in America and you can see just how rare numbers like 4.4 40s or 40 inch verts really are - hope this provides some realistic perspective for athletes, trainers, and coaches.
Trunk lean during single leg squat found to + correlate with trunk lean when pitching. Increased trunk lean away from throwing arm increases force placed on the shoulder and elbow.

Are there really differences between right-handed and left-handed professional baseball pitchers? Our new study found four biomechanical differences between them. Catch the full article in Sports Biomechanics at this link tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.….
Many athletes understand that wearing high heels often is poor for women's feet, ankles, core control, etc. Then they go squat, clean, etc. with oly shoes every time? teapaw.org/ericcressey/status/957…
#1 thing strength training has taught me - struggle proceeds success. We shouldn't expect success without struggle.
