Send us a text

On this episode, Anthony shares his baseball journey, highlighting his work with DAC Throwing and recovery from a labrum tear that resulted in 10 anchors (absurd amount) that significantly impacted his throwing velocity. Short Clip HERE of him returning from the 10 anchor surgery at 95+ mph!

He details the challenges of surgery, rehabilitation, and the gaps in traditional recovery programs. Frustrated with generic approaches, Anthony collaborated with DAC Performance (EP 46 w/ Brady Volmering for reference) to develop a dynamic, personalized rehab plan tailored to athletes’ needs.

He discusses the pressures athletes face to perform through pain, the long-term impact of prioritizing results over health, and the importance of empathetic coaching. Anthony emphasizes building trust and open communication between coaches and players, addressing the mental challenges of recovery, and redefining identity beyond injuries.

The conversation explores innovation in recovery strategies, addressing misconceptions about surgery, and the need for individualized support. Anthony highlights the importance of measurable recovery metrics, personal growth, and resilience, encouraging athletes to move forward with a focus on health and identity beyond setbacks.
