Isometric Playbook

Rookie Rehab

Hello friends, welcome to the show. I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful summer. If it was anything like mine, you were probably super busy with sports, vacations, family events and getting outside. I’m sure all of you are excited for football season, basketball is right around the corner, school is starting and fall is in the air.

I’ve been quite busy on the rehab and training side of things. I am now working with athletes remotely. If you are someone who wants to get rid of your knee pain, improve your strength numbers or get in a better routine at the gym, just send me a DM on Instagram or Twitter @tombroback and we can figure out a plan for you.

Also, next week my ebook Isometric Playbook is launching on Tuesday, September 13th! This guide will go over why you should be implementing isometrics in your rehab or training program. I cover the best exercises for the shoulder, spine, hip, knees and ankles. You will not want to miss this out. Make sure you check out my launch post on Tuesday!

As for today, my guest is Anthony Gustafson, aka Gus, along with my brother Chaz. Anthony shares his experiences as both a standout track athlete and successful football, basketball and track and field coach. We get into the nitty gritty of what it takes to be special and how you can still be a good teammate even when you need to take care of yourself individual. You will not believe the crazy technique Anthony used for his long jump mark in high school.

Enough from me, let’s get onto the convo with Gus and Chaz.

Hello friends, welcome to the show. My name is Tom Broback and I am on a mission to help high school coaches keep their athletes happy and healthy. I loved playing sports growing up. From backyard football to traveling basketball to high school track and field, there was nothing better than being on a team and playing to win a game. Unfortunately, I struggled with health issues and I know your athletes do too. This inspired me to become a physical therapist and sports performance coach. This podcast will help coaches like you learn how to keep your athletes off the bench and in the game.

Do you struggle with working out consistently? Do you struggle with your athletes getting the best information in sports performance? Today, we talk with MBSC coach Vinny Talluto on how to be consistent, and productive, with working out. Vinny runs personal training and strength training sessions at MBSC in Boston. I love his mindset when it comes to improving as a coach, and I hope you enjoy this conversation with Vinny.
