On this episode of the “Master Instructor Roundtable,” hosts Wendy Batts and Marty Miller dive into the essential strategies for training athletes in rotational sports—a timely topic as more people head outdoors for tennis, golf, pickleball, baseball, and even pre-camp basketball training. Wendy and Marty break down why it's crucial not to assume elite athletes are always ready for power-focused programming just because of their sport; instead, they emphasize a foundational, assessment-driven approach for all levels and ages.
The conversation starts by highlighting the importance of movement assessments, like the overhead squat and single-leg squat, to identify imbalances, compensations, and side-to-side differences—vital for rotational athletes who often favor a dominant side.
They detail how using NASM’s OPT model and corrective exercise protocols ensures programs are tailored to individual needs and not just sport-specific demands. Wendy explains how both mobility and stability—especially in the thoracic spine, hips, and shoulders—are key to safe and powerful movement. The hosts discuss practical examples, such as the importance of hip internal rotation for baseball players and golfers and offer tips on restoring optimal movement patterns using foam rolling, stretching, and muscle activation techniques.
Listeners will also hear about the importance of collaboration with sport coaches, building strength before adding power, and how stabilization phases can be surprisingly challenging. The episode is packed with actionable advice—like using targeted activation, integrating core and contralateral exercises, and progressing from controlled movement to loaded and high-speed drills.
