Show Notes
This podcast is all about how you can use the gym to support on-field performance. We interview Josh Seligman, the former head of strength and conditioning for the Milwaukee Brewers. While we talk a lot about baseball, the principles we talk about are universal across all sports.
Specifically, Josh and I cover:
- His background and how he got 3 degrees before getting his start in baseball
- Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that separate the best baseball players in the world
- What makes a good big leaguer
- His core tenants of how he helps players improve their performance on the field
- Why performance training is much more than how much weight you can lift
- How he helps players build, develop and structure their weekly routines
- When to performance train in-season
- His favorite “reloading” workouts to help players recover and get ready to perform
- What he is doing now
Personally, my favorite podcasts are ones that I get to learn something, and I learned a lot talking to Josh. Josh now owns and operates Thrive Health and Performance in the Milwaukee area. He has a passion for helping youth athletes perform at their best and stay healthy, but he also is applying his background in strength and conditioning, nutrition and high performance to help everyday athletes like business owners and entrepreneurs to stay healthy and improve their performance.
