Hitting coach Chad Longworth stops by to discuss a litany of topics related to athletic development and help for both athletes AND coaches.

To start, Gerry and Chad talk about some of the issues athletes have with eating and how important food intake is for athletic development.

They then explain the importance of having a sound thought process to preparing athletes and bridging the gap to actual gameplay both in sport skill development and strength training.
