*EPISODE TIMESTAMPS FEATURED AT THE END*

In this episode Gerry welcomes on Ben Brewster, owner and founder of Tread Athletics. Ben has revolutionized remote training for pitchers since 2015 with the start of Tread Athletics.

Ben specializes in training pitchers with a full, "top down," approach consisting of strength training, general movement evaluation and pitching mechanical instruction.

To start, Ben and Gerry discuss the importance of fitting drills and programming to a unique athlete, not using a blanket approach to movement, training and pitching as all individuals require different areas and needs.

From there, the conversation turns to communicating to athletes and having them understand the basics, rather than complicated terminology, the importance of intensity with training and how to handle in-season training.

All that and more on this episode of Muscles and Management!
