Physical Preparation Podcast Archives - Robertson Training Systems Andrew Hauser on Punching Holes & Filling Gaps to Build Your Return to Play Model
Andrew Hauser has worked in a number of capacities in professional baseball both in the strength & medical capacities, most recently as the Director of Performance Rehab for the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Director of Player Health & Performance for the Atlanta Braves.
And he has recently made the dive into the private space in Phoenix, AZ focusing on training, rehab, return to play and consulting starting his own business called Continuum High Performance.
But today, we’re going to focus on this idea of return to play – or maybe more specifically, return to PERFORMANCE.
Lots of people are talking about RTP, but how many are doing it well?
How are they doing it at the highest levels of sport?
And how can you take this knowledge to help YOUR clients and athletes get better results when coming back from injury?
That’s the focus of today’s show, and I really think you’re going to enjoy it!
Sometimes you’ve got to show them a little failure that’s NOT going to set them back. – Andrew Hauser

Build Savage, Athletic Beasts with Exerfly!
This week’s episode of the Physical Preparation Podcast is brought to you by Exerfly.
Flywheel training is a method of strength training where your athletes generate resistance by using the inertia of a flywheel instead of traditional gravity-based resistance training
By accelerating and then decelerating a disk, your athletes generate resistance in both the concentric and eccentric portions of the lift, WITHOUT the need for ridiculously heavy weights.
Standard free weight training is great for the early preparatory phases, but as athletes develop there’s more to it than just getting stronger at all costs.
At some point, you need to prepare them for the massive eccentric forces they’ll experience on the field, court or pitch – and with Exerfly’s motorized technology, you can increase the eccentric overload of the lift anywhere from 1-80%!
Exerfly is used by numerous teams in the NFL, NBA, over 50% of the English Premiere League, and numerous Olympic development programs.
Now as a small business owner you may immediately assume that an Exerfly is out of your budget, because we all know that every penny counts.
But Exerfly has you covered here as well – they offer 36-month, interest free-financing, so you can get started ASAP with your training and pay as you go.
And when you factor in a 30-day money back guarantee, 2- year warranty AND free shipping, the Exerfly really is a solid investment.
