I tell you what, we have some educated followers in our tribe. We had a 14-year-old young athlete ask about how to train their transvers abdominis, that’s awesome! You guys are great, keep coming with the questions and we will try to keep up.

PS – Can you tell what hardware store Tyler’s father-in-law runs? Hmm…

What are the glaring weak points in the incoming freshman that you see?

Poor technique, pure and simple. I work with a lot of female athletes and it is even more apparent in them. Coaching at the younger levels has to go back to teaching fundamentals and not worrying about win- loss records. I heard something the other day at a conference and I do not know if it is true or not, but no major league pitcher has won a Little League World Series as a pitcher. Isn’t that interesting. High school phenoms strive in other sports like basketball but not baseball pitchers, why? Because they get hurt! They did too much (curveballs, breaking balls, sliders) too soon and did not master the fundamentals (fastball, change-up) which will allow them to add to a strong foundation when they are mature enough to handle it. Same thing in the weight room the question should not be how much can you squat, it should be how well can you squat.

– Thanks Brett! Always good hearing form you, and always quality content.
