If someone told you they found the 7 predictors of exit velo, would you want to know them? YES. That's exactly what Jarrett Phillips and team discovered.
Jarrett analyzed 250 athletes at his facility across a variety of factors (Proteus test, grip strength, K-VEST sequencing, InBody muscle scan, and OnBaseU mobility assessment) and then ran these data points through a variety of statistical models. Through this analysis they found 7 factors that predict exit velo AND that these 7 factors made up 82% of the variance you see in exit velo.
Curious what these factors are? Listen to the whole podcast to find out.

Curtis Van Wyck made a reputation for himself as being the guy people sent their clients when they didn't know what to do next. Post-PT or lingering injuries, Curtis problem solves for his clients and doesn't try to force each into a one-size-fits-all model. His philosophy to coaching? To see each client like a unique piece of clay that needs a individualized plan in order to mold it, stabilize it, and build it. That's even why he calls his facility "the kiln."
And this philosophy bleeds over into his variety of clientele who come through his doors. From high school athletes seeking collegiate recruitment to older populations looking to regain mobility and prevent injury to rehab patients recovering from major surgery, Curtis has seen it all. He's also quickly become a top user of Proteus since he got in this past year. From testing to freestyle, he adapts Proteus per client need and stays ahead of the game so he can give his clients the best care possible.
--
Husband, father, and a muscle detective is who Curtis is. He has unceasingly pursued his passion in education which has permeated throughout the entirety of his career. Education coupled with his innate desire to help his clients achieve their goals, lends itself to a client-centered approach.
Curtis has worked with a wide variety of athletes, but over time has returned to his roots to work with mainly rotational athletes (baseball & softball).

- Test all planes of movement
- Compare an individual to the norm for their age, sex, or sport
- Understand where an individual’s strength and speed puts them on the force velocity curve
- Get training recommendations for every movement category

When it comes to college recruitment and going pro for baseball, the main question becomes: "How do I stack up against the next guy? How do I set myself apart and show scouts and college recruiters that I deserve a chance?" With Proteus, the ability to test, create baselines, and re-test provides an objective edge for athletes to set themselves apart and hit the next level...because sometimes the difference between a college scholarship or missing the mark can be a couple percentile points. For Joe, Proteus's testing capabilities allows athlete to tangibly see their numbers on screen, track their progress and have specific goals to hit. Listen to the full ep to hear how he incorporates Proteus and uses it to create accountability across all his athletes.

To Josh Reidt, you have to continue to evolve in this business or you're going to die. While it's easy to prescribe a deadlift, it's more beneficial to program the accessory stuff that provides longevity to the athlete. We're talking ankle work, hip work, thoracic work, and scap work - the less flashy work that makes an athlete special. For overhead athletes, this is key. Over the past decade, Josh Reidt has fine tuned his 360 individualized programming to help baseball athletes go from high school to collegiate to pro. Tune into this episode to learn his approach to developing three dimensional athletes, why he only lets his athletes workout barefoot, and how he helps his clients develop #scapgainz.
Josh Reidt is the owner and founder of Reidt Fitness Systems, a gym devoted to helping high school, college and professional baseball players.

Leaving the workforce to start a family, she co-founded West Village Parents and, after struggling with weight postpartum, went on to pursue her passion for fitness and wellness.

What is one of Eric Cressey's biggest observations of the sport performance realm? We simplify things to excess. Instead of crafting programming based on an athlete's specific needs, we take one program and try to make it work for everyone. Through years of training, Cressey has set out to be the opposite of this and even stresses that prioritizing individualization can be your competitive advantage. How does he customize programming per athlete? Well, you'll just have to listen to find out.

Why are some golfers apprehensive towards increasing their swing speed? For most other sports, athletes seek to increase their speed but in golf, many fear the increased speed could hurt them or throw off their accuracy. This exact question piqued Jarrett's interest as he set out to establish TrainPMT, a high performance golf training facility in Southlake, Texas. His goal: to revolutionize golf training away from general fitness and into harnessing power and acceleration to enhance your swing. He does so through a comprehensive screening and analysis process to create custom programming for each athlete who comes through his door. And what does he use to do this? You guessed it...Proteus.

During his professional baseball career, Bill Miller kept asking himself, "Why is it that these other guys are so much better than me? Is it genetic or are am I just not as good?" He dominated in the weight room, but lagged on the field. As he built out his training career, Bill set out to find that missing component. He incorporated med ball measurement, Proteus tracking of power and acceleration, and many more techniques to help define correlations between training and on-the-field progress. And the results speak for themselves as his athletes continue to progress from the high school to college to the pro level. Learn about it all in this episode hosted by Will Waterman, Proteus Head of Human Performance.
Bill's Bio: Bill is a trainer based out of the Chicago area who works primarily with baseball and other rotational athletes. He works both in the strength and conditioning and sport-specific field with the athletes he trains. Rotational power development has been a passion of his, writing Throw Fast and Swing Fast.
