FAST YOUTH ATHLETE

1. Hi Dave. Good to have you hear to do this interview. I like referring to you as the band man because you do a great job with incorporating bands into your routines. Could you tell us what made you interested in the fitness industry and the bands? What is your background? Jimmy thanks for this opportunity. I have been an orthopedic physical therapist since 1986. In the mid 90’s I realized how our body truly functioned and why certain injuries continued to occur. I also realized that we were not training our athletes to work the body was designed to work. Primarily teaching it how to deal efficiently and powerfully with gravity as well the big 2.. Momentum and ground reaction forces.

It is amazing to have the opportunity to be coached as you are allowed to learn through the experiences of another person. Experience can be the greatest teacher sometimes.

I had the privilege of reading an advanced copy of Jedd’s Ultimate Forearm Training for baseball book. At first, when I noticed that it was 400 pages long I thought it was going to be a long boring book. I was pleasantly surprised to say it was an easy read with a ton of images with every grip exercise a baseball player will need to succeed. I was amazed at how much I learned about the benefits of grip training. In fact, I am going to include more grip training into the routines of the athletes that I train. I am not going to try to sell you on the fact that you need this book if you know any baseball players. You will either see the value in preparing your athletes in every way possible or not. I will make a commission off of every sale. If you have been reading our material you know we do not recommend any products we do not believe in. Check it out and see what the hype is about.
