Dr. Ismael Gallo, a physical therapist who was once a professional baseball player, appears in today's episode. As a current physical therapist as well as a former baseball player, he's able to mix the areas of movement and on field baseball and comprehend abilities and skill growth. He also created a movement system that enables players to execute more effectively from a young age through high school, junior high, college, and professional baseball.
SHOW NOTES
[2:20] Did you immediately knew that you wanted to get into studying the movement and biomechanics of how people move?
[4:05] What are some of the things that you've found that we're doing a poor job of training and developing athletes from a young age all the way up?
[5:05] What are some things that coaches can start doing to help their athletes develop at a younger age and at a faster rate?
[6:46] What are some ways to help a player when they grow older in high school?
[8:09] It's not necessarily a strength issue, it's just the players not having good movement.
[8:50] What are some simple ways that you can help with that movement and help improve that movement if you are a coach?
[10:45] How big of an impact does going though puberty affect movement and mobility?
[12:24] What about lifting weights? Do you combine your system with them already lifting weights?
[14:01] What exactly do you mean by they're moving one way in the weight room and then moving the other way?
[15:29] How many times a week should players be doing your program?
[16:58] Is your program something that you would want the player to do before practice or would you rather do them after?
[17:56] How long does it normally take to start to see changes that will show up during a game?
[19:27] What age should they be starting to do some of these movement patterns?
[20:25] Do you need anything for the program or is it something that you just need literally the ground and space?
[21:50] Is there anything specific that you see routinely a lot that could be preventative?
[23:02] What are some mechanical issues you see from pitchers when you watch them on a video?
[25:25] What exactly do you mean by flow?
[25:30] Flow is how we transition from one movement pattern to the next.
[28:03] Simplification is the biggest thing we have to do as providers.
[28:39] Train your movement patterns.
[28:49] What are your thoughts on young kids using weighted balls?
[31:56] Experience matters, the reps matter. You need a lot of reps to be able to master your craft as a coach.
[34:56] Do you have any Adrain Beltre stories you could share with the audience?
[36:29] Is there anything else you would like to share with the listeners?
[40:30] Just because you dropped out of something doesn't mean that your identity is a drop out or quitter forever. You can always pick yourself back up and finish strong.
[40:48] It’s never too late to reinvent yourself. It’s never too late to believe in yourself.
[43:06] If anyone wants to contact you, what’s the best way?
