Risk, Adaptation, and the Myth of Optimal Mechanics feat. Brice Crider | EP 72
1 hr 3 min
An athlete's career doesn't get a million spins, so every training decision has to be worth what it costs. Brice Crider returns to Finding the Edge, now as the founder of Rubicon Performance in San Diego. He joins Garrett Boyum and Kyle Dupic to explain how coaches can manage an athlete's career like a long-term investment. They discuss the track-and-field model of one coach for the whole athlete, holding advanced training back until the athlete actually needs it, stimulus versus fatigue, and why throwing, hitting and lifting all follow the same principles of adaptation. Brice also explains why he says there is no such thing as optimal biomechanics, and why the goal of pitching is to prevent runs and get outs.
