Brady, Caravan, and Lindley are back at it talking about our newly developed online dashboards for trainers to use and summarize athlete results, breaking down a sample biomechanics report from a pitcher who is included in our elite throwing group, and introducing a research article testing machine learning for identifying athlete type-of-sport and level-of-play from generic biomechanics.

Lindley and Brady reminisce about the 2017 summer R&D internship at Driveline including what is different, how we've improved and aspects of the early R&D days that we could stand to get back to.  We also talk about the future of biomechanics, some differences in baseball training between the NPB and American Baseball, and also touch on previous work travel and how far that has come for our mobile biomechanics lab now.

Most importantly, we released the answer to the riddle from last week's announcement.
