Today we are joined by local college pitcher Eli Hoyt. Eli grew up in Waukesha, playing for STiKS academy, and just finished his career at Madison College. Eli will have the opportunity to play for USA Baseball and the Madison Mallards this summer.
In addition to being a high level pitcher, Eli has overcome numerous injuries over the course of his career. Most recently, Eli just returned to competition following Tommy John Surgery on his throwing elbow.
Eli and I discuss:
Eli has a very unique perspective on baseball and took a lot of time to reflect and prepare for this conversation. He gives a lot of great advice that anyone going through an injury recovery can learn from.

One of the most important decisions to make as an injured athlete is to choose your “team”, including choosing your physical therapist. This team can include many different people from skill coaches, to doctors, to physical therapists and sports psychologists. Many times within the medical field you are referred to a provider because it is convenient or there is a marketing agreement in place.
For example, a large health system or orthopedic group “sponsors” a high school or club team and provides an athletic trainer. That athletic trainer is often encouraged or required to refer athletes to that hospital’s orthopedic physicians with any injury. That doctor is typically then encouraged or required to refer out to that hospital’s physical therapy group.
But, as an athlete, is this in your best interest? Are you required to go to a physical therapist because you were referred there by a doctor?
Maybe, maybe not. There are 8 questions that will greatly help you in deciding how to choose your physical therapist and see if they are the right fit for you and your needs. I expand on these questions in much more detail in the podcast.
If you are an athlete or a parent of an athlete that is dealing with an injury, hopefully you find this information helpful! And you can use it to be an advocate for your own health and performance!

On this episode, we are joined by Keith Kahlfeldt, a basketball performance coach at the Prolane in Waukesha, WI. Keith focuses on tailoring performance training in the weight room to improve performance on the basketball court.
Keith is local to the Milwaukee area, having played basketball at New Berlin Eisenhower and then continuing on to play at Concordia University. He uses his knowledge and experience as a basketball player to help guide his programs to help other local high school, college and professional basketball players stay healthy and perform at a high level.
Specifically, Keith and I discuss:Keith has a great philosophy towards training athletes and I really enjoyed the conversation. He is definitely approaching training athletes from a progressive view and incorporating some of the newest techniques and philosophies with his players.

Late stage ACL rehab and the return-to-play process from ACL rehab takes a team effort. The player and medical staff have been working together for 8-9 months, and the athlete is ready to start to be reintegrated into practice and game activities. At that point, the coach starts to play a key role in helping the athlete reintegrate into the team environment and prepare to return to game action.
However, coaches aren’t medical professionals, especially at the high school level. Coaches have many other responsibilities, and often, other full time jobs. So how would you, as their coach, know what to do with a player that is “cleared” to return to play following an ACL injury?
This podcast will help by discussing:
This is a great podcast for any coach that has an athlete coming back from an ACL injury (or another major injury). This is also a great listen if you are an athlete (or parent of an athlete) coming back from ACL surgery so that you can optimize your own rehab experience by knowing what to expect, how hard to be pushed, and when to scale it back.
Dive into the injuries and recoveries of a college heptathlete with Dr. Lauren and Abigail Missiaen.
In this episode, we are joined by Brian Keller, a professional baseball player who has pitched for the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox organizations, and now the Hanshin Tigers in Japan. Brian has one of the best development stories going from a lightly recruited high school baseball player, to a late round draft pick, and now he is entering his eighth season as a professional baseball player.
Brian and I specifically cover:
Brian is one of the smartest pitchers that I have ever talked to. I always learn something new about pitching mechanics, gripping pitchers, or pitch design when I talk to him. If you are at all interested in baseball development, this is a can’t-miss podcast.

In this episode, Lauren and Michael talk about whether you should wear a brace after injury. Lately, this has been a very common question in our office. Many athletes and families wonder if they should wear a brace after a injury, whether a minor sprain or when returning from surgery. As with most things, there is no one right answer for everyone, but there are considerations for each specific case.
Lauren and Michael cover:
This episode is designed to be very practical and we cover specifics on the ankle, knee and shoulder taping and bracing. So if you’ve wondered whether a brace will help you, give it a listen!
