You're listening to one-on-one with D.P. Brought you by Mary Ellen's Food for the Soul on 93-7 The Ticket and the Ticketfm.com. Welcome back. Good stuff today. Man. Brett Jody from the Salt Dogs, Dr. Adam Gensler. Again, I think, like, everything's missing the boat.

Like, that dude needs to be into youth training. Like, that needs to be a thing. It needs to be a thing. Because there's so many parents who don't understand that you're, the line between talent and skill is often in the operation, like the actual functional operation and getting base level movements right. Like there are things that people do that just, they're just wrong and they're never corrected because if the coach is not a scientist,

it doesn't know the science behind it. and the trainer, technically at high school level and little league level, are just nurses. You're not talking about trainers. You can get some level of movement training at the high school level, but they are reactionary rather than proactive in teaching kids, know if you put your foot here, this is what you're allowing the rest of your body to do. Pitchers, foot placement, hip drive, sinking the hips, flat back, core core strength for everything that you do in all of sports i mean if we had had

core training and track in high school my goodness gracious that would have changed that would have changed lives like somebody with core training that had had put you through true pliometric work before you got to carney you would just went oh as a long jump the first time somebody taught me the balance of sync cell cell out that penultimate step changed right like like once I got to college right I mean know any of right like I was just running and jumping well that's all I was doing in high school my high school my college coach did a thing where he basically taught pendulum work and he loved the idea of like karate kid where they taught him

pendulum upper body pendulum from core to shoulder yeah right and it said that if that's learned through high school you become a better player because not only are you going to be more effective, but you're not going to have the wear and tear that sets people out. You don't fail because you're not strong enough. You fail because you're not moving in strength enough. Yeah. Like there's a difference behind it.

So if I were, like I said, if you got a kid who is going through the process and they show some skill level, some talent level, look, get them over there and let them just from a basic movement place. You spend all this money on gear and travel. and a hotel and food and all the stuff. But then you never work on the thing that's going to move your kid from the sixth best player to the second best play. Right?

Your food, like all the other stuff? Look, that is recreational. That is cool. That is popcorn. It is fun and it's cool. But guess what? It's not nutritional. It's not going to help you at your core.

So when you find out that there are people in the space and we had a really good training. As a matter of fact, you met Kelly Fickas. She came in here one day and hung out for a bit. was on a road trip. Oh, yeah. And she stopped in. She was a trainer in Virginia. And she was the first athletic and fitness trainer.

So different between this. She was, she's a crossfit girl. So she's, she's all about movement, functional movement, right? Functional movement. But to have her create a band workout, off-season band workout that taught the correct movements with resistance. So you never.

For baseball pitchers, you didn't touch a baseball for three months, but you saw her four days a week just to work in a ban on a fence at different levels on the fence where you move it. The same thing with hitting, that if you learn to pull your hands through in a compact way with resistance at the right level, like to pull at a maximum, you can't have your hands in the wrong place.

The body's set up to work a certain way and to have people who can help you with that stuff. I mean, you learning how to land in foot placement and then to redirect and re-explode. Yep. Right? I've been around hurdlers all my life. The hurdlers who are natural who get the foot down on the ground but are still explosive in it. Those are the ones that changed the game.

You know, I just think, you know, we'll get Rico back in hurdle shape. when we get to that Cornhusker State game, show them what so. Right? That was my, that was my best, the best part of my hurdles wasn't my actual hurdle form, which was decent. It was between the hurdles. Well, your form had to be, your form had to be perfect. It was short.

It was coming down. It wasn't perfect. Right. It was close, but it wasn't perfect. Well, but you had less room for error than the six foot two guy. I was doing my best not to hit. If I hit a hurdle, it ruined everything. Like, I built up speed as I was going through the hurdles.

every time I'd come down, it's more speed between the hurdles because I have to make up ground. You had to be perfect in it, man, or close to possible, because that long dude was doing less work. All those six to you guys. They were doing less work. Very unfair. Yeah. Still beat them all, though. Yeah.

Except for one. Well, same for long jump. I just remembered that when I got to the AAU Junior National level, I recognized right away that the taller kids had an advantage. So we walk up, and you didn't know, like when you first started, doing it, you don't know who your competitors are. Then after a while, you kind of know who they are. And then when you see a new one, you're like, okay, he's,

he's 6-1 already, this sucks. Yep. Right? Because this is going to fly. Like, it's just built for them. And then I had a coach. Listen, I need for you, first of all, to not sprint as far. Stop using the entire board.

Like, stop using the entire runway. Right? Because you're in your head, you think I can do this from a short space. Yep. Right? And then they tell you, no, you need to gain speed, but you know you need to be at maximum speed, and not everybody can sink the hips, go from heel to ball, and not lose speed and not lose control. So as hurlers, all that stuff's in place.

It's great. I mean, it shows up with football receivers. It shows up with running backs. We're able to plant and jump stop, all of that now the thing. But all of that is in mechanics. All of that is based on mechanics. So we'll do that. All right, don't go anywhere in the captain show.

Sean Jackson. Bringing it to tell you. He's got you until 2 o'clock. He's in blue today. He is. He's wearing a Wyoming shirt yesterday. He got a braided bearded bearded. Look at him.

He got a braided bearded chair. He got a braided chair. I don't know if he's trying to go Viking or what's going on. I don't know. We're about to find out. I kind of like it. One-on-one is done. Captain Show up next.
