Former Major League pitcher Ryan Mattheus, founder of Optimum Athletes, joins Evan Hauger to explore what separates great coaching from great player development.
Drawing from his MLB career and years of developing high school, collegiate, and professional baseball players, Ryan explains why objective assessment, biomechanics, movement capacity, and individualized programming have transformed the way athletes should train. Together, Ryan and Evan discuss why many so-called "mechanical" problems are actually capacity problems, how collaboration between rehabilitation and performance creates better outcomes, and why the best coaches know when to lean on experts instead of trying to have every answer.
Whether you're a physical therapist, strength coach, coach, or athlete, this conversation offers practical insights into developing athletes through evidence-based coaching rather than guesswork.
