One of the biggest problems in academia is the lack of practical application. The best in the business are able to bridge the gap from research to real world application. Sift through the noise. Find what matters. Apply. Track. Repeat.

One lesson I've learned as we've built a sports technology company: The hardest part isn't necessarily inventing something new. It's getting people to change the way they've viewed a problem for years.

We talk constantly about reducing pitching stress.
Lower pitch counts. Lower workloads. More rest. But what if part of the solution is increasing the capacity to handle the stress? You can’t eliminate the forces of pitching. You can improve the athlete's ability to manage them.
Whether it comes to rehab or performance, there is no 100% correct answer for anything. Nothing is fully set in stone. Consider your physical response. What outcome does a decision render? Talk with your coach or rehab professional. Experiment. Determine what makes the most sense for you.
Ep. 133 of The Layback Podcast welcomes @DanielMcauliff to share his path from ongoing elbow pain, to throwing pain free, to revolutionizing baseball training in south Florida with Outlier Performance.
