If your goal is to reach the highest level, you should try to do the things the people on the biggest stage are doing.
Naturally, you probably don’t know how to get there.
So find people with a proven track record of doing so, trust them with your development, and do the work
Ian has been crushing his rehab.
Combine consistency, attention to detail, hard work, and compliance to a well built program that progresses the right things at the right time and you get results.
And now we have the most physical version of Ian there has ever been!
Nowadays, access to information can be overwhelming.
Trying to implement every training idea you see would make your programming bloated and ineffective.
Instead, develop a really deep understanding of the first principles. Cross-check everything against them.
Build from there
I wonder what Justin Verlander did throughout his 23 year big league career to succeed for so long?
From the outside looking in, I would guess it included a ton of attention to detail focused on constantly improving the skill while staying as physical as possible
Cool computer vision work being done here in FL.
Also a reminder that even if you don’t have a CV project that tracks every throw, all your throws should be to a target. Concurrent training principles should also be applied to your skills. Stuff+command can be trained together
There are few jobs that allow you to turn any idea into reality. Driveline will always be the land for new ideas
Latest idea - CV Ball Tracking to measure command, not only in bullpens but on every throw. #bigstrikes #noballs
S/O @Stevie_T12 for the seeds!
Got to see a Brazilian soccer match last week. One of my favorite pieces of the warm up was a scaled down mini game of keep away. With the on going nature of “futbol”, getting more reps with high context and game like randomness, the more you can figure out what moves work when.
The S&C social media world has recently shifted trends to “training is simple”. While the idea that athletes simply need to sprint, jump, throw, lift heavy and throw a full range of motion is mostly always going to stand as true, it’s an over simplification of training design.
As athletes get older and experience more training, performance training needs to change. We need to make sure that we are periodizing their training, targeting specific adaptations, addressing low hanging fruits, and consistently provide novel training stimuli.

More robust and efficient outputs require better context, whether you are working with an athlete or an LLM. The two are more similar than most would believe.
This is the advice that truly matters.
Not the 18th coach on your timeline claiming to have reinvented S&C for the 3rd time this week.
If you’ve never truly dedicated an off season to structured training at a high intensity, try it.
Do the work and reap the benefits.
You have to have a goal in what you’re doing.
Where do you want to go? What’s best for your career? What does success actually look like?
Then build a plan to get there.
It won’t always be a straight line, but you need a North Star.
The World Cup is a reminder of how much we learn through play
Growing up some of my best baseball development came from open exploration. Playing every position (as a lefty), wiffle ball imitating big leaguers’ swings, and creating random rules based on which backyard we were in
The midpoint of the college summer is where we shift our focus from hardware to software. We’ve spent time building the foundation of lean tissue/maximal force production, now the training is built to recruit the high amounts of motor units at the fastest rate possible.
