Podcast: Toe the Rubber May 1, 2025 Return to Synchronicity McClintock and Jung Barbara McClintock: American scientist and pioneering cytogeneticist who made groundbreaking discoveries in genetics. She is best known for discovering "jumping genes" or transposable elements— segments of DNA that can move within a genome. Her work showed that genes are not fixed in place and can regulate each other, which was revolutionary at the time. "If you know you are on the right track, if you have this inner knowledge, then nobody can turn you off... no matter what they say.” "There's no such thing as a central dogma into which everything will fit. Life is too complicated for that.” Carl Jung: “Synchronicity is an ever-present reality for those who have eyes to see.” “The connecting principle appears to reside in the dynamics of the collective unconscious.” Current trend in Gadgets: A short list of physical products: Cross Symmetry bands/tubing Jaeger bands Towell drills - derivatives Weighted baseballs Baseball Derivatives of the pitch grips and different pitches Long Toss A list of technology products (arm or pitch centric): 1.

Proximal-to-Distal Sequencing in Pitching: A Coaching Manual for Youth Development Understanding the Proximal-to-Distal Movement Pattern In pitching, the proximal-to-distal movement pattern refers to the sequential activation and movement of body segments, starting from the body's center (proximal segments) and progressing outward to the extremities (distal segments). This sequence is crucial for generating maximum velocity and reducing injury risk. The kinetic chain in pitching typically follows this order: pelvis → trunk → shoulder → arm → forearm → hand. Each segment builds upon the momentum of the previous one, culminating in efficient energy transfer to the baseball. (Biomechanics Research Aims to Improve Sports Performance, The Association of Baseball Pitch Delivery and Kinematic Sequence ...) Sequencing Order and Its Importance The ideal pitching sequence involves: (Kinematic Sequence Important for Preventing Baseball Injuries) 1. Pelvis Rotation: Initiates the kinetic chain, generating rotational energy. 2. Trunk Rotation: Transfers energy from the pelvis to the upper body. 3. Shoulder Rotation: Continues the energy transfer, positioning the arm. 4. Arm Acceleration: Propels the forearm and hand forward. 5. Forearm and Hand Movement: Final acceleration and release of the ball. (Sport Specialization and Overuse Injuries in Adolescent Throwing ..., Comparison of Kinematic Sequences During Curveball and Fastball ...) Proper sequencing ensures that each segment reaches its peak velocity at the right time, optimizing performance and minimizing stress on the body. (Biomechanics Research Aims to Improve Sports Performance) Negative Effects of Overtraining Distal Segments Focusing excessively on training distal segments (arm, forearm, hand) can disrupt the natural kinetic chain, leading to: • Increased Injury Risk: Overemphasis on the arm can cause imbalances and place undue stress on joints and muscles, increasing the likelihood of injuries such as UCL tears. • Neuromuscular Fatigue: Isolated training of distal segments can lead to fatigue and decreased performance due to the lack of support from proximal muscles. • Inefficient Mechanics: Neglecting the development of proximal segments can result in compensatory movements, reducing overall pitching efficiency. Disruption of Motor Engram Sequencing Motor engrams are neural patterns that encode specific movements. Overtraining distal movements can: • Alter Motor Patterns: Focusing on arm path alone can lead to the development of faulty movement patterns, disrupting the natural sequencing of the kinetic chain. • Impair Skill Acquisition: Neglecting full-body mechanics hampers the integration of complex movements, making it harder for pitchers to learn and refine their delivery. • Reduce Adaptability: Ingrained improper patterns limit a pitcher's ability to adjust mechanics in response to game situations or coaching feedback. Age-Specific Considerations Ages 10–12: • Focus: Developing general athleticism and introducing basic pitching mechanics. • Training Emphasis: Body awareness, balance, and coordination exercises. • Avoid: Specialized pitching drills that isolate arm movements. Ages 13–15: • Focus: Refining mechanics and building strength. • Training Emphasis: Core stability, lower body strength, and integrated movement patterns. • Monitor: Growth spurts that may affect coordination and mechanics. Ages 16–18: • Focus: Enhancing performance and preparing for higher-level competition. • Training Emphasis: Advanced strength training, power development, and fine-tuning mechanics. • Caution: Avoid overuse and ensure adequate recovery to prevent injuries. Conclusion A comprehensive understanding of proximal-to-distal sequencing is essential for developing efficient and safe pitching mechanics. Coaches should prioritize full-body training approaches that emphasize the integration of all body segments, ensuring young pitchers build a solid foundation for long-term success.

My guest today is Sam Miller, Founder and CEO of Proteus Motion. For those of you that haven't heard of Proteus, it's the ultimate training machine for rotational athletes like baseball players by measuring their power and acceleration in ways we couldn't do previously. Sam is a really interesting guy with a fascinating background. He is graduate of Vanderbilt with a degree in Economics and History. He also has a masters from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. After graduation he was with Suffolk Construction, a pretty sizable company, in various capacities in project management, architecture and design for nearly six years. The question is, how did we go from construction and design to a highly engineered product called Proteus.So, I am going to ask Sam how Proteus came to be. I know that MIT and a dad are involved in there somewhere. Lets welcome Sam Miller and take a listen to the future of training power in 3D. Topics Include:Assessing / training power & accelerationTraining rotational athletesUncovering asymmetriesImproving fascial integrityProteus as a rehab tool Ready to take your game to the next level?

When Sam Miller, an industry outsider, took up the "minor" challenge of attempting to revolutionize strength testing and training, he ended up manufacturing a device unlike anything else currently available--something which helps unlocks previously inaccessible insights into physical strength--and launching him into a head-to-head battle for content against existing equipment makers. Sam is the CEO and Founder of Proteus Motion, a revolutionary strength testing and training device that provides full body assessments in three minutes and unlocks new insights into physical strength and human performance. He got into the HALO sector after enduring years of physical therapy as a young kid. He took a mechanical concept his Dad initially invented at MIT and redesigned it, creating a revolutionary strength testing device that produces two times more muscle activation than a free weight or a cable machine. Proteus is quickly becoming a standard for human performance, providing trainers with the data they need to diagnose issues, validate results and design highly customized training programs. The product is being used in 43 states, with a focus on sports performance and sports medicine. Customers range from 8-88 years old, with the product being used in retail locations and gyms. Sam states, "There's a real market and appetite for quantifiable information, especially around human performance. There's a huge gap, though, in physical strength data. There are 24/7 wearables which have created a $30 billion sleep and recovery market, MRIs and X-rays have created a $60 billion MSK market, right? But physical strength? What are we doing to measure it? It's basically like, 'How much can you squat or bench?' That led me to the realiziation that we're evaluating this critical pillar of human performance in, basically, one dimension, which is kind of stunning to think about." In this episode, Pete and Sam discuss: 1. How is Proteus Motion is revolutionizing the strength training industry with their strength testing device and software products. 2. How their patented technology measures physical strength and power for every human movement. 3. How Proteus can empower trainers and potentially even help transform the physical therapy and sports medicine industries. If you're a decision maker at a facility where resistance training is taken seriously by your members, the Proteus is worth very strong consideration. Click here to download transcript.

Sam Miller is the Founder and CEO of Proteus Motion. Proteus Motion's patented technology is the only way to measure strength and power for every movement humans can perform. To date, it has only been possible to measure physical strength and power for movements in a straight line, like a squat or a bench press. However, less than 5% of human movement is in a straight line. Proteus Motion's patented technology measures strength and power for 100% of human movements, creating an entirely new standard for personalized fitness and physical rehabilitation. Strength is the ability to move against resistance. To measure strength accurately, that resistance must not change. But unless you are moving in a straight line, the resistance from existing equipment like cables and free weights changes unpredictably throughout each movement. The only way to overcome this is through constant resistance, no matter what direction you move. Proteus Motion solved this by inventing 3D Resistance™. By providing constant resistance in all directions, 3D Resistance™ is the first-ever way to accurately measure strength and power for every movement humans can perform.

View the full video interview here. If you ask someone how strong they are, it's almost a certainty that they reference a squat or bench press. Why, who cares, and what's missing from that answer? Multi billion dollar industries have been created around every pillar of human performance, except for physical strength. Why is that and how Proteus is becoming the MRI for physical strength. Sam Miller is the Founder and CEO of Proteus Motion based in Brooklyn, NY. Sam founded Proteus after drawing inspiration from his own childhood sports rehab experiences and a mechanical prototype developed at MIT by his father, Larry, in the early 1990's.
In this episode of the Brawn Body Health and Fitness Podcast, Dan is joined by Dr. Will Waterman, Head of Performance and Sports Science at Proteus Motion. TECHNOLOGY HAS REVOLUTIONIZED THE HEALTH & FITNESS INDUSTRY, BUT STRENGTH & POWER STILL CAN'T BE MEASURED EFFECTIVELY. Because to measure strength and power for movements you perform in real life, you need forces in 3 dimensions. Equipment like free weights and cable machines can only provide forces in 1 or 2 dimensions. To unlock the next revolution in human performance and fitness technology requires a total reinvention of resistance training.

Coach Adam Sits down and talks with Will Waterman, Head of Human Performance and Sports Science of Proteus Motion. Proteus Motion's patented technology is the only way to measure strength and power for every human movement. To date, it has only been possible to measure physical strength and power for movements in a straight line, like a squat or a bench press. However, less than 5% of human movement is in a straight line. Proteus Motion's patented technology measures strength and power for 100% of human movements, creating an entirely new standard for personalized fitness and physical rehabilitation. Strength is the ability to move against resistance. To measure strength accurately, that resistance must not change. But unless you are moving in a straight line, the resistance from existing equipment like cables and free weights changes unpredictably throughout each movement. The only way to overcome this is through constant resistance, no matter what direction you move. Proteus Motion solved this by inventing 3D Resistance™. By providing constant resistance in all directions, 3D Resistance™ is the first-ever way to accurately measure strength and power for every movement humans can perform.
