COVID-19 has postponed our big dinner at Ruth Chris. We estimate what Ryan will eat and his personal food bill.
The top of the Order starts with the MLB still in the lockout. The Mets woo Eric Chavez from the Yankees to be their new hitting coach.
We then talk about Tom Brady's personal trainer Alex Guerrero. He featured in Brady's "Man in the Arena" series on ESPN+. We discuss how Guerrero has kept Brady completely healthy through his incredible career. Yet, with that being said, he is still an outcast in the world of sports.
We dive into our "negative results =high praise" theory where trainers et al. get high praise, but their athletes are injured or careers cut short by injury. We discuss football and baseball's reluctance to try different methods to yield better results.
We then go into the use of technology to assess athletes. The lack of a pinching avatar rears its head when Kevin asks, "who is inputting those markers for pitching?" "Who is deciding what is healthy?"
Mike and Kevin's Exit Velocity Training Program is in total development.
The Why Would You Do That could be the worst ever!
Dr. Rodney White, DC, Kevin Barr (former Florida Marlins strength coach), Jeremy Booth (Future Star Series), and Roberto Kelley (MLB) are upcoming guests.
