MOPs & MOEs

Our guest on this episode, Brendon Huttmann, recently transitioned into tactical human performance after a long and accomplished career in professional baseball.  He held major league strength and conditioning and sports science positions with the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Los Angeles Dodgers after working his way up through minor league jobs with the Cleveland Indians, Colorado Rockies, and Kansas City Royals organizations. Join us for a conversation about the similarities and differences between professional sports and tactical.

Debate on strength vs endurance for tactical athletes, balancing both in training, setting baseline thresholds, focusing on long-term progress, differentiating base building from performance training, strategies for reducing injuries and improving physical preparedness in military training, optimizing footwear and training routines

In our first full episode we have a conversation with the one and only Nate Palin about whether "tactical athlete" is a useful term. Nate has been a big part of shaping what tactical strength and conditioning is today, and offers a great perspective. Are tactical professionals athletes? Is the athlete mindset helpful in a tactical environment? Can coaches expect the same things from tactical professionals as they can from athletes? Join us as we dive into all this and more.

Welcome to the MOPs & MOEs podcast! In this pilot episode we'll introduce ourselves, explain what the "MOPs & MOEs" concept is all about, and lay out the way ahead for the podcast. This is where we'll have the longer form conversations that social media doesn't really allow for.  MOPs & MOEs on IG: https://www.instagram.com/mops_n_moes/ MOPs & MOEs on FB: https://www.facebook.com/mopsnmoes
