101: Dynamic Injury Prevention and Movement Optimization with Dr. Tommy John | Sponsored by SimpliFaster


Listen Later

Today’s episode features Dr. Tommy John, chiropractor, sports performance specialist and pioneer in youth sport injury prevention.  

Dr. John is the son of the famous major league pitcher, Tommy John, whom the famous elbow reconstruction surgery is named after (I actually went through that surgery myself as a result of throwing the javelin, but moreso due to poor technique than the typical chronic overtraining and lack of rest and movement most young athletes encounter).  He carries Master Degrees in Health and Exercise Science from Furman University, and brings over 17 years of health experience to the table.   He had stints as a professional baseball player himself before a shoulder infection from a surgery ended his career.

I first came across Dr. John’s work in my search for a better explanation of Jay Schroeder methodics.  As I learned more about him, I found that he is a wealth of knowledge, not just on some of the things he learned from Jay, but also on human movement and performance, training psychology and youth injury prevention.  Dr. John combines his extensive background in sports performance and chiropractic to deliver a unique training experience and insight that can push forward our coaching.

On today’s episode, Dr. John will go into his time learning from Jay Schroeder, bodyweight training as a staple, how and when to utilize barbell training, movements all athletes do well, and thoughts on injury prevention in youth and general athletic performance.  Dr. John has a new book coming out on exactly that topic called “Minimize Injury, Maximize Performance, A Sport Parent’s Survival Guide” which I would highly recommend.

Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster.com, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more.
