Ahead of the Curve PODCAST

Ahead of the Curve PODCAST

Was really fortunate to receive a call several months ago from a high school coach in the metroplex by the name of Jonathan Gelnar @J_Gelnar7.  He runs a great baseball specific podcast called Ahead of the Curve.   If you haven't checked it out yet make time to do so as he's put out a wealth of information from a variety of coaches.

Jonathan and I spent over 45 minutes talking about anything and everything pertaining to developing baseball athletes.  Some of the topics we touched on included speed development, why we don't do cone drills, our foundation program, how to train speed and strength for time strapped coaches, and my thoughts on the lessons only culture.  Enjoy and as always let me know if anybody has questions.
