  Episode 141: Joe Myers on Leading Baseball Performance Science with the Tampa Bay Rays

  Sep 24, 202642 minS1

  In this episode of Inside Athletic Training, we sit down with Joe Myers, Director of Baseball Performance Science for the Tampa Bay Rays and one of the most credentialed minds in the sports science space. Joe spent nearly 15 years as a professor and researcher at UNC before making the jump to professional baseball, and that academic foundation shapes everything about how he approaches performance, injury prevention, and player development in the Rays organization. We dig into what sports science actually means at the major league level, how Joe thinks about building a performance team that works alongside and in collaboration with athletic trainers rather than in parallel to them, and what innovation looks like inside one of the most analytically progressive organizations in the game.

  Episode 139: Ron Porterfield on Three World Series Rings, Building the Rays Program, and a Hall of Fame Career

  Sep 10, 202646 minS1

  Few people in professional baseball have seen and done what Ron Porterfield has. Over the course of a career spanning nearly four decades, Ron built one of the most respected sports medicine programs in the game with the Tampa Bay Rays, served as President of PBATS, and has now been part of three World Series championship clubs with the Los Angeles Dodgers. In this episode, Ron takes us through the full arc of his career, from his early days in the minor leagues to the major league level, what it meant to build a program from the ground up with an expansion franchise, the Rays remarkable 2008 World Series run, and what it has been like to contribute to a dynasty in Los Angeles. He also gets into his time as PBATS President, what that role meant to him, and what he believes the future of athletic training in professional baseball looks like.

  The Research Rundown (Ep. 7): Dave Yeager on Individualized Movement, Load Tolerance, and the Evolution of Clinical Practice

  Sep 3, 202644 minS1

  In episode 7 of the Research Rundown, Paul Buchheit and Joe Rauch sit down with Dave Yeager to dig into one of the most meaningful evolutions in his clinical practice — the shift from a broad, generalized approach to something far more precise and individualized. Dave calls it going from shotgun to sniper. Over years of working with professional athletes, he has refined the way he thinks about each player's capacity, load tolerance, and movement patterns, moving away from one-size-fits-all protocols and toward strategies built around the individual in front of him. The conversation gets into how clinicians, practitioners, and coaches can work together to take that individualized information and actually apply it on the field, in the weight room, and throughout the rehabilitation process. A practical, experience-driven discussion with real implications for anyone working at the intersection of sports medicine and performance.
