Arm care work with Cooper Consiglio, pitcher at NC State Wolfpack Baseball. A key focus here is comprehensive arm care, emphasizing proper scapular movement, shoulder stability, and controlled range of motion throughout the throwing cycle. For pitchers, well-structured arm care supports efficient shoulder mechanics and helps manage the cumulative demands of throwing. These qualities are often overlooked, with many athletes relying too heavily on the upper trapezius and compensatory patterns rather than balanced scapular control. Below are a few exercises we commonly use as part of a comprehensive arm care program.

Why does Statcast ignore the Stride Angle? Statcast analyses million of data points during each game. It has cameras that record every player in every play. The attached analysis shows how this omission contributes to the damages to players and the game, costing teams over $1 billion in player injuries.

Some "rule of thumb" guidelines for programming main lifts: Strength: 65-85% for 3-5 sets of 3-8 reps Size: 50-70% for 3-5 sets of 8-12 reps Power: 3-5 sets of 1-5 reps at 40-60% Not set in stone but a good place to start

It is a GREAT time to look at these Athletic Training roles coming up in SC. Hopefully from this post, and the content shared, you can tell our enthusiasm for what well-curated High School roles can look like in 2026 with Prisma Health's outstanding support system. I especially implore current NCAA ATs that may be lacking perceived impact, unhappy with work-life rhythm/balance, or are just curious about what might be next to get in touch. We would be grateful to our network(s) helping to get this into the hands of practitioners who need it at this key time of year.

Golf tech that improves swings… and protects players? Smart2Move 3D Force Plates do more than help golfers hit it farther. By measuring how players use the ground, coaches can spot patterns that lead to inefficiency and potential injury. That means safer movement, less strain, and longer careers for golfers at every level. It’s not just about hitting better shots. It’s about moving better, period. #GolfTechnology #PlayerHealth #Smart2Move #GolfPerformance

Athletic Directors optimize for stability, not hype. They care about operational reliability, documentation clarity, communication standards, risk awareness, and professional boundaries. Designing for the administrator first improves the athlete experience as a byproduct.

How Balance Improves Athletic Performance Stability and Control: Strong balance provides stability, allowing athletes to maintain proper body positioning, control complex maneuvers, and execute precise movements. Coordination: Balance is fundamental to coordinating various body parts for smooth, efficient, and accurate actions, such as running, jumping, or swinging. Agility and Quickness: Athletes with good balance can change direction, accelerate, and decelerate more effectively and quickly. Power Generation: Engaging stabilizing muscles through balance training enhances overall power and strength by improving neuromuscular control. Movement Efficiency: Better balance leads to more efficient movement patterns, allowing athletes to perform skills with less wasted effort. Injury Prevention: By reducing the risk of slips, falls, and missteps, good balance helps protect athletes from injuries.

Athletic directors & coaches, It’s hard to build culture in meetings. It needs to be built daily through habits, mindset, and leadership standards. That’s why I wrote “Win One Won.” This book gives coaches and athletes a practical framework to: - Build championship habits - Develop resilient, next-play competitors - Strengthen team culture and leadership - Sustain excellence beyond wins and losses Many programs are now using “Win One Won” as a shared language across teams to align culture and leadership development. If you’re looking for a simple tool to grow your coaches and athletes this offseason, this can help. Comment or send me a DM and I’ll share how to bulk order, implementation tools, or speaking/workshops for your staff and athletes.

“In resisted sprint training, we speak in terms of velocity decrement or reduction from the athlete’s max velocity. Similar to them squatting at 75% of their 1 rep max, they can sprint at 25% Vdec of their max velocity. Every athlete has their own unique equation and will have specific loads required to sprint at certain velocity decrements, which is how training is individualized.” “There are aspects of resisted sprint training that we know are associated with optimal loading zones. 0%-10% Vdec is the technical zone. 10%-40% Vdec is the speed-strength zone. 40%-60% Vdec is the power zone. 50% Vdec is about where max power is.”

Plate-loaded machines get overlooked. But they shouldn't. They answer a challenge every coach, rec director, and gym operator faces: How do you deliver real strength outcomes for a wide range of users — safely, efficiently, and at scale? Here's what makes plate-loaded strength training a must-have on your floor: Real strength carryover. You're training patterns, not isolations. Progressive overload made simple. Just load plates — no pins, no limitations. Durability under load. These machines hold up to serious work. Built-in safety. For high school athletes to D1 programs — users push hard without compromising form. Space-efficient strength zones. Especially in facilities that can’t go full free-weight, this is a power play. If you’re only relying on free weights or selectorized equipment — you’re leaving a huge performance window untapped. It’s not about old school or new school. It’s about what works. Plate-loaded machines bring the edge back to your strength floor. Want to see how this fits into your facility? DM me and I’ll send you options that align with your goals.

Several coaches asked after the Glazier Clinic how short resets could be built into practice periods. Here are five options coaches could incorporate simple resets into their practice plan to help athletes restore breathing, mobility, and focus between drill periods. These short resets help players stay composed and ready for the next play. If you coach athletes at any level and are looking for simple ways to build composure and focus into your practices, feel free to connect.

Great Med Device Sales Teams... Like ALL great teams... have ONE thing in common....👇 Friendship with Accountability. It's the U of Miami Hurricane model of the late 80's and early 90's. The coaches don't police the "locker room" or the culture... The players do. Sure, the coaches establish the culture.. they establish the expectations.. they are the evaluators and gate keepers of the talent... but once it's built... and built the right way... the players are the ones that you have to answer to. The best sales teams that I've seen have this in their DNA. The expectations they have of one another are remarkably high. The friendships they have go beyond company email. Their families vacation together. They celebrate personal victories together. The weddings. The births. They support each other when times are tough. The divorces. The funerals. But, they'll also be the first ones to put a foot up your *** if you threaten to lower the standard. The team members that choose to do the bare minimum... The team members that seek to sabotage..... The excuse makers.... The under performers... they get sniffed out... isolated. It will almost feel like a primal reaction from the pack. Amazing to see in "the wild". Gives me goose bumps just typing it. Some Q's for the hiring manager: 💥 How do the reps on your team hold each other accountable? 💥 How many future leaders are on your team currently? 💥 What are the things you look for to know that answer?
