Spring Training Exposes Everything: Was Your Off-Season Actually Good Enough?


Listen Later

April doesn't cause injuries — it exposes them.

If your off-season didn't build strength, capacity, and proper progression, the start of your season is exactly when those problems show up.

In this episode, Dr. Greg breaks down what a bad off-season actually looks like (hint: it's not just doing nothing), what a good one should include, and why the same training that prevents injuries is the same training that boosts performance.

You'll learn:

  • Why arm pain in early spring is an off-season problem, not a spring problem
  • The importance of a true rest period — and how long it should actually be
  • Why leg training is non-negotiable for throwing velocity and hitting power
  • How to train your body's deceleration phase to protect your arm
  • What sport-specific drills and conditioning should look like for baseball athletes

Whether you're a parent, a coach, or an athlete yourself, this episode gives you a clear picture of how to structure your off-season so your body is ready when the season demands everything from it.

Dr. Greg has worked with MLB All-Stars and athletes of all ages at Movement Driven in Jacksonville, FL. Visit MovementDriven.com to schedule a discovery call and build a program that gets you healthier and throwing faster than ever before.
