In this episode we have on Bill Miller, Tanner Pruett, and Yuji Suzuki to discuss the arm injury epidemic in baseball.

In this episode, we discuss the importance of being able to integrate our exploration back into getting better on the field. One of the major mistakes that many people make who go all in on exploring to become more athletic often coaches end up programming activities to explore just for the sake of exploration. We don't want them to get good at doing random novel tasks but figure out how to perform more consistently and effectively come game time. Therefore it's imperative that coaches discover how to harness the power of exploration to facilitate skill development. At the end of the day, our goal is to help them to find a more functional fit, meaning more consistent and effective ways of solving any emerging problem they may face come game time. Our goal is to keep the main thing the main thing. Our conversation was facilitated by another Vervaeke video this time we use a small clip from Lex Fridman's Podcast (EP 317). Also, Baker who let the Dogs Out on this episode?

In this episode, we riff off of a video by Rafe Kelley from Evolve Move Play where Rafe and John Vervaeke are discussing the idea of Serious Play. We explore what it means to be a good coach and how you can utilize play to facilitate engagement, growth, and development. We also interacted with a few other video clips from Inning by Inning and Bruce Lee's movie Enter the Dragon.

Goodhart's law is an important concept for coaches and analysts to keep in mind to maintain an edge when technology, data, and analytics are so pervasive in today's game. Simply following the current trends in the tech and data space may lead coaches, players, and organizations to misuse their analytics departments resulting in players underperforming on the field given the underlying data analysis. In this episode, we discuss the limitations we currently see with chasing metrics and how using an ecological approach can allow you to better harness analytics for your player development and on-field performance.

Link to a good article on Goodhart's law with regard to sports science.

This week we have Chad Longworth back on the podcast. Chad is a  self-professed curiosity junkie, it is what defines him and his journey.   As a coach, he believes that his playing career is completely irrelevant to helping players with their journey, other than his ability to relate as he's been there and knows how it feels. Chad is a facility owner and player development coach in Virginia. 

In this episode, we discuss some of the principles which we think underpin hitting, how different constraints affect our vision and subsequent movement behavior, ecological dynamics, bunting, and more.

In this episode, we brought Jackie Wu on to learn more about her and her course TheraPlay which takes a games-based approach to injury rehabilitation. In addition to incorporating play to recover from injury, play is a great way to stay healthy and make you more resilient to injury. If you would like to learn more about her course please email Jackie at strengththerapyhelp@gmail.com or email us at FTEpod@gmail.com. We had a great discussion exploring the various educational resources we each have taken and see as well as how her approach to movement and TheraPlay could fit within an Ecological Approach. 

Jackie is a Pain Resolution, Movement Specialist, and Message Therapist. Jackie is like the Mary Poppins of the movement therapy world. She has a very diverse background in fitness, health, and wellness as well as a wealth of personal experience. Jackie educates coaches and clients about body mechanics, neurology,  physical dysfunctions, and the effects of each on how the human body operates. 

Again if you are interested in taking Jackie's course TheraPlay please email Jackie at strengththerapyhelp@gmail.com or email us at FTEpod@gmail.com.

After a little hiatus, we're back with guest Bill Miller. Bill is unique in baseball, as he works with players both as a Strength and Conditioning Coach and Skills Coach. In our opinion, this is the future of sports coaching where the sport coach has a fundamental understanding of both strength and conditioning and motor learning principles.  

Topics covered in this episode were:

• Power Development and Post Activation Potentiation (PAP)
• Workload management
• How Javlin training can be applied to pitching development
• + More

This week we had on Julian Gonalez who recently got hired by the Orioles as Hitting Coach in the Dominican Republic. In this episode we had very emergent discussion where we explored the psychological side of the game through an ecological lens. This led us to explore how breathing and arousal regulation play into performance and how can we incorporate them into our training environments.
