8 months post surgery , 1st time at 100 percent sitting 84-86 @NikoLeontarakis @jlebo_sc @s_sharf @RPP_Baseball
Much love Ethan! I have to say the same thing about you. This dude put up with all my dumb questions and helped me learn so much about the game. Thank you for everything! Keep that floater crispy for the next time I see you on the basketball court😎
Working alongside Phil at @RPP_Baseball had a direct impact on my growth as a coach. Not just from a knowledge of content standpoint, but from witnessing the genuine care and energy he has for every athlete that walks through that door.
Proud of you my guy. You earned it! ✊
Excited to announce that I have accepted a position with the Toronto Blue Jays Baseball Club as a S&C Coach with the @FisherCats Thank you to @NunzioSignore and everyone I’ve worked with over the years @rpp_baseball for helping me grow professionally and learn limitlessly!
🧵: Stability is 🔑 to injury prevention
Having a stable base helps distribute forces evenly throughout the body when producing power in a particular movement, such as pitching.
When building a house; which would last longer? One built on stilts or one with a cement foundation?

🧵How to Increase Your Pitching Velocity in the Weight Room...
In the pitching world velocity is how most Ps are initially judged. Unfortunately, there is no ONE thing I can tell you to do to⬆️velocity. But here is a good list to start with...

🧵2 Athletes can produce the same amount of power but use 2 diff. ways of getting there.
➡️A more “force-based" athlete- uses higher total force output
➡️A more "Elastic/velocity-based" athlete- uses Faster rate of force development
We need to give them more of what they need
🧵: Utilizing rate of force development with experienced athletes can be a helpful tool to increase the speed at which muscle recruitment happens. This is most effective after a max strength block when muscle recruitment is at its highest.
@RPP_Baseball
After finding the weight the athlete will be training at, 25% of that weight will be from band tension (140lbs on bar, 45lbs in bands). Because the bands will be on both sides you need to divide 45 by 2 to figure out how much tension is required on both sides.
Thread🧵: Everything starts from the ground up. Limited ankle dorsiflexion can create issues in the movement patterns of a squat. Barring injury to ankles that can also cause a limitation in mobility, most commonly the issue comes from tight calves. @RPP_Baseball
This is only a temporary fix. As you increase ankle mobility and the squat pattern improves, decrease the height of the board because ultimate goal is to eliminate the need for it.
