Episode 113: Dr. David Tiberio is the dean of the Gray Institute’s 40-week mentorship program, which is known for training, treating and conditioning athletes in all 3 planes of motion.  Dr. Tiberio has published numerous articles in scholarly journals and is professor emeritus at the University of Connecticut.  In 2007, Dr. Tiberio  received the Kendall Award from the American Physical Therapy Association for "outstanding and enduring contributions to the practice of physical therapy."  Dr. Tiberio was kind enough to come on the podcast to answer the seemingly simple question, how do you activate muscles?  As a strength coach, I’ve always been confused on how to effectively cue athletes without telling them to, "squeeze their glutes" or, "focus on their core."  And what started as a simple question not only turned into an hour long episode, but Dr. Tiberio was nice enough to come on the show again to record parts 2 and 3 and talk about proprioception and fascia.    If you’re a trainer or coach that wants to effectively train athletes to perform better on the court, Dr. Tiberio is going to give you a combination of timeless wisdom and the latest in scientific findings on how to activate muscles.  Instagram  @HoopCommitment Twitter  @HoopCommitment Facebook  HoopCommitment Website  HoopCommitment.com
