Lantz Wheeler - Trust What You Feel - Simplifying Pitching Mechanics Aug 16, 2018

Show notes

In episode 23 of The Robby Row Show I speak with Lantz Wheeler on all things pitching. What I love about this episode is that Lantz takes all the complexities of pitching mechanics and really simplifies it for his athletes to understand. He goes beyond just the physical portion of the pitching mechanics with his athletes. He taps into their nervous system and really seeks out ways to improve the athletes ability to throw a baseball very efficiently. Listen in on this episode to get inside the mind of Lantz Wheeler just briefly.. you won't regret it!

Jeremy Anderson - Seeking Adventure Aug 13, 2018

Show notes

In episode 22 of The Robby Row Show I bring on adventure athlete Jeremy Anderson to pick his brain on all things adventure sports. We discuss the reasons for doing what he does as well as how it all got started. A big topic of todays podcast in my opinion was “Flow State” and how that can benefit any person or athlete. I find direct correlations throughout the show in regards to being an adventure athlete in that state of mind compared to being a pitcher on a baseball field. You can follow Jeremy on Instagram @jskiclimb
Todays sponsor of the podcast is The GO Life. The GO Life is a brain and body optimization supplement dedicated to delivering safe, clean, and transparent focus, energy, endurance without the side effects. Jeremy actually goes on to explain in further detail why he chooses to use GO Life during his everyday routine. You can find GO Life on www.thegolife.com or on instagram @thegolife

Brandon Janecka - Assessing My Grade 2 Lat Strain Aug 10, 2018

Show notes

In episode 21 of The Robby Row Show listen in as Brandon and I dive into my recent lat injury suffered last month. The injury was diagnosed as a Grade 2 Lat Strain. Being that I wasn’t too familiar with that particular area of the body I thought it was a good idea to bring someone on the show who is an expert.
Brandon owns and operates True Grind Systems Gym in Austin, TX - You can find them on IG @truegrindsystems. Brandon is a very intelligent individual in regards to strength training and the human body (how it moves, functions, and how to optimize that). He graduated from Texas St. University with a degree in Exercise n Sports Science.
Brandon and I dive into my recent injury and the “why” that happened. He gives his professional insight as to how further prevent these types of injuries and possibly what to do when they do occur. We also touch upon routines and how to get the most out of your body by understanding a routine that works for you.

Dr. Josh Heenan - The 90mph Formula - What Research Shows To Increasing Velocity Aug 08, 2018

Show notes

In episode 20 of The Robby Row Show I finally get to sit down with Dr. Josh Heenan (@drheenan) and discuss his ever so popular 90+mph Formula.
Listen in as Josh and I discuss the importance of developing an individualized approach to increasing velocity and preventing drastic injury. Josh and his team Advanced Therapy Performance (@advancedtherapyperformance) have come up with a formula in which time and time again it has proved to not only increase ball speed but also decrease the risk of UCL injury in the athlete. What I love about this formula is it's not just a couple guys saying this to promote their company. There is scientific research behind this and the "why" it works makes total sense.
I want to take this time to thank our sponsor for this episode - Advanced Therapy Performance - Yes, Josh Heenan’s group.
Baseball development has historically been a guessing game in hopes that you are making progress type until now. The Advanced Therapy and Performance team has developed the 90mph formula which systematically develops 90+mph throwers, sub 6.5 60 sprinters, all while decreasing the incidence of UCL surgeries.
The ATP remote coaching platform offers the same quality of service offered on site anywhere in the world. By treating each athlete as an individual with unique needs and goals, layered with their Movement, Orthopedic, and Performance screen; they are able to streamline the development process all for under $50/month.

Dean Jackson - Head First Dive Into Data Analytics In Baseball Jul 30, 2018

Show notes

In episode 17 of The Robby Row Show I am joined by who I consider a Driveline "OG" in Dean Jackson also known to some as "doublexcanflex" which sounds super dope. Dean has a very interesting story stemming from an injury that forced him to rethink how he approached training to falling in love with the culture up at Driveline Baseball.
Dean speaks fluent "Data Analytics" which is literally an entirely different language.. trust me. Data analytics is often talked about on MLB Network or even ESPN now when referring to "Spin Rate" - "Spin Axis" - "Launch Angle" - "Exit Velocity"
Dean and I dive deep into the depths of baseball analytics and how we can use these tools to better ourselves as baseball players!

Brent Pourciau - Unconventional or Revolutionary? Velocity Development and Injury Prevention Apr 10, 2018

Show notes

In episode 15 of The Robby Row Show I have the absolute privilege of talking baseball with one of the leaders in online baseball content. Brent Pourciau who founded Top Velocity doesn't take a conventional, in the box, approach to training pitchers. No, in fact, some will say what he does is absolute blasphemy. Does he care? No. Why? Brent 100% believes in what he teaches and his athletes will tell you the same thing. Brent and I dive into the world of biomechanics, kinetic energy, data driven approaches, ground force and weighted balls. Brent's big unconventional approach comes in the form of getting his athletes to train in line with olympic weightlifters who have to use the total body in lifting the weight. Listen in to one of the most unconventional... or genius minds in velocity development today in Brent Pourciau.
