The Best of 2020: Podcasts
We launched the Elite Baseball Development Podcast in 2019, but 2020 was the first full year we had it available. In all, we released 41 episodes in 2020 – and I learned a ton from some great guests. That said, here are our top five episodes from the year:
1. Optimizing Rotational Power with Dr. Greg Rose – Greg talks about evaluating and training rotational power across multiple sports. We also delve into programming and coaching strategies, and long-term athletic development in different athletic populations.
2. Mobility Methods with Dana Santas – Dana speaks about how to fine-tune methods of improving mobility. She also highlights common mistakes baseball players make when implementing yoga.
3. Helping Hitters to Higher Ground with Doug Latta – Doug contributes some great thoughts on hitting set-up, mechanics, and approach.
4. Speed Training in Baseball with Lee Taft – Lee discusses baseball movement competencies and how to coach them. CSP-MA Director of Performance John O’Neil takes the lead as a guest host.
5.
