Increasing bullpen PRs by 8 mph in 4 weeks, an athlete update from Performance Coach @Tread_NFlorence 🔥⁠ ⁠ Incredible progress made by Jonas Yatson in just 4 weeks after starting his program. Before starting he had a bullpen PR of 72mph and this past week he hit 80mph. To... be clear he was sitting 74 T76 in games before joining Tread. ⁠ ⁠ The main area of focus for his mechanical adjustments was to address a pushy back leg and get him to drive effectively. Early torso rotation caused by lack of pelvis and torso segmentation, and getting his elbow flexion closer to 90 degrees.⁠ ⁠ Through plyo drills like the lasso, ryhtmn rocker and pivot picks with preset arm actions, we were able to kill multiple birds with one stone and tackle elbow flexion and pelvis / torso dissociation and some back leg work. ⁠ ⁠ Finally, I added my personal favorite, med-ball throws for overall rythmn, athleticism, and kinetic chain timing. Med balls provide a great non-baseball variable to increase focus on the lower half and torso.⁠ ⁠ Jonas has a great attitude and a desire for growth. No matter the program, athletes will get out what they put into it. Jonas is a prime example of putting in the work and seeing results. ⁠ ⁠ Excited to see where he goes from here!⁠ ⁠ -Nate⁠show more

@Tread_NFlorence @jonas_yatson Here are some of our recent ones that are college or older.

@Tread_NFlorence @jonas_yatson 8mph is meaningful, especially from 72 to 80 for high school. Much easier to get a fastball past most high school hitters to get strikeouts instead of balls in play.

From 74 to 80 mph at 5'5" 135lbs, an athlete update from Performance Coach @Tread_NBryan 😤⁠ ⁠ Tread Athlete Grant Budurka came to Tread, topping out at 74 mph, and a couple of months later, he’s already gained 6 mph, hitting 80 mph for the first time.⁠ ⁠ Standing at just 5’5”, we needed to really leverage everything that he had. We worked on some basic drill work to allow for more leverage in the glove side, as well as being able to work the t-spine into extension.⁠ ⁠ With the 10 toes we were really trying to emphasize the arm action and torso rotation in plane. ⁠ ⁠ Figure 8 Rockers also allowed him to start creating that loop of energy and leverage his gloveside more than he was initially doing. ⁠ ⁠ Grant has also been putting in crazy work in the weight room, and also never missing a day with his mobility, correctives, etc. The kid’s work ethic is out of this world, making him one of my favorite athletes to work with!⁠ ⁠ Some lifting stats (keep in mind the short timeframe so far):⁠ ⁠ Squat - 155x6 to 225x6⁠ Deadlift - 225x3 to 255x6⁠ Bodyweight up 10 pounds from 125(!) to 135⁠ lbs.⁠ ⁠ Of course, he still has a long, long way to go in the grand scheme of things, but he's off to a great start. Stay tuned for 85+ in the not-so-distant future 👀⁠ ⁠ #TreadFam

From sitting 88 mph T92 to 95-96 mph T97 in 1.5 years 🤯⁠ ⁠ When Tread athlete Brett Erwin first started with us, he had an average fastball of 88, and now about 1.5 years later here he is throwing 95-96 touching 97 MPH! So how exactly did he do it?⁠ ⁠ An Athlete update from Austin Roark 🔥⁠ ⁠ Brett had a great starting point in his delivery. There weren't any glaring issues mechanically that we needed to overhaul. The main focus was to improve the initial move/posture out of leg lift to allow himself to be in a better position into landing.⁠ ⁠ Another big constraint that we had while working together was the environment that we were throwing in. Brett, for the majority of the off-season, was throwing off of a grassy hill in the middle of the park into a 9 pocket.⁠ ⁠ Originally, the throws were around 86 to 88, but we eventually got up to 90-91 in that specific environment. It was a matter of time before we got on an actual mound against hitters to start seeing some better numbers show up, which eventually happened.⁠ ⁠ We utilized a lot of 1 MPH bullpens to focus on the idea of “throwing hard easy” which ultimately raised the floor and he was starting to really understand how his body needed to move. Once I felt like we were in a good spot mechanically, we added in a lot more intent work to get the output we wanted! ⁠ ⁠ The biggest factor in all of this is that Brett is a fantastic communicator. He consistently scheduled calls, sent over video, and asked a lot of great quality questions along the way. It takes a special kind of athlete to make a lot of progress remotely and to get the most out of remote training, and Brett has definitely made the most out of the opportunity!⁠ #TreadFam

Watters: This guy had it made. He was in a low security prison in his home country in El Salvador. He was fishing, he was gardening, playing soccer and video games. He would probably get released in a couple years. But his stupid senator and these dumb lawyers pulled him out of his home country back into here and now they are sending him to Uganda Is he going to bring his wife, is he going to bring his son? He's supposed to be a great dad and a great spouse and the wife and kids are allowed to go to Uganda. If this is a great marriage and these are loving people, she should get on the plane with him

Update on Jaxson Crull! Crull is starting a job with ONEOK as a Systems analyst at the end of the month. He knew after this season he was going to hang it up, and left OSU very happy with his time as a Cowboy. Although he wasn’t an every day guy at times, he loved helping find a way for the team to win. But, just because his playing days are over doesn't mean his connection to the program will be any less. Not Close! He's gonna remain connected to the program by coming back to visit a lot and seeing the guys still on the team. Ian was his roommate and those two were super close. Crull made it very clear that he thinks it's great for the team to have Ian and Aidan back because they were two of the biggest leaders on the team last year. It does not matter what walk of life Crull partakes in, he will ALWAYS rise to the top. Whoever gets him, in whatever walk of life, is getting total quality. #GoPokes #OkState

Mark Daigneault on Jalen Williams’ recovery: “Day to day and is doing a great job. There’s so much invisible work that goes into a return to play that you guys don't get the opportunity to see and we don't even get the opportunities. I rolled in this morning getting ready for our staff meeting, and I was walking to the back, and he's already there at whatever time it was, 8:15, getting his PT work in. He was on the court by 8:30. That’s the work you have to put in day after day without the immediate carrot of playing when you're going through a rehab.”

Chris Campos and his dad built a mound in his backyard and worked like crazy to master his slider last off-season, and, it absolutely worked. Campos is one of the most self-aware young pitchers I've seen pitch, and what I mean by that is he knows what makes him good, and he knows how to execute those sequences. He was the starting short stop at Saint Marys and didn't pitch much at all, so his ceiling is just now starting to grow. ++ athlete, which is very important, as we see with guys like River Ryan, live arm, and as stated before, he's just getting started as a pitcher. Campos has a similar backstory to Gavin Stone. He was told that he was too little to play D1 baseball, but he responded by going to a great baseball school and becoming an everyday player at a premier position. The Dodgers saw his arm talent, athletic ability, and ability to absorb and apply information, drafted him, and then converted him to a pitcher. Keep your eye on this guy, he's gonna continue to get better and better. #dodgers

𝑾𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒐𝒏’𝒔 𝑫1 𝑫𝒆𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦...𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘥! After 10 years of traveling the country with my son Grant Scholzen as my travel partner as an MLB scout and in my baseball capacity now, I was let go 3.5 years ago by the Milwaukee Brewers for CoVid reasons and it has become a blessing in disguise! It freed me up to watch every HS game he played and almost 90% of his summer/fall action from coast to coast, along with national invite showcase teams and events, where he garnered recruiting attention. Now the day came to watch him make his D1 debut this past week. He was able to play 3 innings defensively and as is custom, the ball found him at 2B in all 3 innings. Made all the plays flawlessly, with a “slow” heartbeat and did his thing! The AB’s will come… He’s a great teammate and has his fellow players respect for who he is as a ballplayer and more importantly as a person! His step mother Cami, for the past 8 years also hauled him around when he was young, while Dad was making other players dreams come true and she was able to see the dream realized as well. No matter what the future holds, his passion and endless work ethic made his dream come true! He will continue to grind, work and prove people wrong! His late mother Heidi, who passed away when he was 9 years old, would have been so proud and I know she’s been by his side in spirit and will continue to be by his side, wherever the dream takes him. Only 2% make it to where he’s at, and although I help other young men, in the end he’s my 🔝 priority and the most important player in my portfolio! I love you Grant ❤️

85-87 T88 MPH (HS Junior) ➡️ 92-94 T95.5 MPH (HS Senior) 🤯⁠ ⁠ An athlete update from Performance Coach Paul Hall Jr. 🔥⁠ ⁠ Tread Athlete Ryan Press came to us a little under a year and a half ago sitting 85-87 mph, topping 88, and weighing in at 155 lbs. Fast forward to now, and he's sitting 92-94, topping 95.5mph.⁠ ⁠ Overall, Ryan's foundation was there. However, the goal was to improve his total development in terms of strength, nutrition, and mechanics.⁠ ⁠ Weight Room 🏋️⁠ ’22-23 ➡️ ‘24⁠ DB Bench: 55lb ➡️ 80lb⁠ Back Squat: 250lb ➡️ 300lb ⁠ Deadlift:310lb ➡️ 370lb⁠ DB Row: 70 ➡️ 90 ⁠ ⁠ Body Weight (+20lbs): ⁠ ’22-23: 155 lbs⁠ ’24: 175 lbs ⁠ ⁠ Mechanics⁠ ⁠ Ryan had an aggressive coil coming into peak leg lift, which was causing some downstream issues with his ability to rotationally load his back leg and maintain direction. This coil was also presenting as excessive torso counter rotation at foot strike, forcing an aggressive pull towards his glove side and negatively impacting both velocity and command at times.⁠ ⁠ The change was utilizing a more controlled lift, thinking "knee to glove-side pec." Through a variety of med ball work and plyo drills, the goal was to help him rotate downhill in a more north-to-south vs east-to-west plane of rotation. This helped improve command, led to harder secondary pitches, and increased the output substantially on the heater. ⁠ ⁠ Ryan, now a Senior in HS, ranks as one of the top prep arms in Canada. ⁠ ⁠ Well worthy of a look for the upcoming Draft. 🚀⁠ ⁠ #TreadFam⁠

People tend to feel sorry for Sisyphus, because the gods condemned him with the job of rolling a stone up a hill everyday. Every night the stone would roll back down again and mangle him, and every morning he had to get up and do it all over again. But in Albert Camus’ version of the myth, Sisyphus wore a smile. Because through hard work, by putting his shoulder to the stone, he brought order to the chaos of life. He brought meaning to his own life, and to the universe. Lex Fridman

Why do so many people nationally seem to hate Brock Purdy? He has one bad game against the Ravens and people are praying on his downfall? Usually people get behind an underdog story, but nationally, that's not the case with Purdy for whatever reason. He made Iowa State of all schools a nationally relevant program competing in the Big 12. He was passed up multiple times by every team in the NFL Draft and was the final pick of the draft. He made the 49ers 53-man roster as a third string rookie, stepped in as the starter after injuries to Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo and went 7-0 as the starter before losing in the NFC title game, where he got knocked out early with an elbow injury. Underwent elbow surgery and came back earlier than doctors had predicted to be ready for the preseason and week 1. He's now 16-4 as a starter in the regular season and going into last night was the odds on favorite to win NFL MVP. His teammates rave about his character and leadership. He's humble and treats people with respect. But many are praying on his downfall and want to see him fail and are now celebrating him having a bad and fluky game against the best defense in the NFL. #49ers #FTTB

‼️BACKSTORY ‼️ The legend Scarface, the king of the Savannah and ruler of the Maasai Mara Reserve, killed 400 hyenas and 130 lions and controlled an area of 400 square kilometers. He had 900 lions under his command. He is also considered the only lion who was able to kill an adult hippopotamus in a single battle and expel crocodiles from his reserve because they preyed on a young cub. In 2012, Scarface got into a fight with a lion called Marsupial, who was 3 years younger and bigger than him. Everyone thought that Scarface would lose the fight.Scarface was injured in his foot, but he emerged victorious and kept Marsupial's head for two weeks before throwing it away. In 2016, he and his brothers Sekiu, Hunter and Murami got into a fight with 6 lions and killed 2 of them on their own. A few days before his death, Scarface walked several miles back to his home and birthplace. On his way, the lions gave him food instead of attacking him. This is unusual in the animal world but Scarface broke the rule and gained great respect from everyone. He was buried by the National Geographic team in honor of his legendary life... the lion who was only defeated by death.

UPDATE: Former UNC Bears Cornerbacks Coach DJ Williams left for Abilene Christian in January. Josh Thornton was the perfect coach to fill the void left by Williams. Thornton played for Coach Lamb when Southern Utah won the Big Sky Conference Championship a decade ago. He came in with Lamb and has known most of the players for a couple of years. After his college career, he played in Detroit, Houston, Carolina and Buffalo along with a couple of seasons in the XFL and CFL. He grew up in Belle Glade, Florida where you can find a current or former NFL player almost anywhere you turn. He's great for this program. He cares about the young men. Thornton sets a great example, handles himself like a pro and is willing to do the dirty work to make the program succussful. As difficult as it was to see Williams go, I'm excited for Thornton and the players on this roster. #BearWitness #STBC

Jalen Brunson telling a story about Chris Paul coming to his final 4 game in college “2018 we were in the final 4 in San Antonio and he was playing with Houston. I remember him and little Chris drove to San Antonio for my final 4 game. He came to the game, I think they sat near or with my dad for the game. I saw him after the game, he is in the midst getting ready for the playoffs, like it’s April getting ready for th playoffs for a playoff push and then he comes to the final 4 for one of the games and So, that’s my favorite moment cuz he didn’t have to do that. That was special for me because he was one of my, I guess I can say this now. He finally retired. I never really give him props, but definitely one of my favorite players to watch and learn from” (Via Roommates Show)

When you hear the advice "hire the best," this is what that looks like: "We had a candidate who came and interviewed. He was a junior at MIT and very very young. We gave him our interview and he did way better than almost any of the full-time candidates that we had ever talked to. So we said to him, what do you think about taking some time off of school and working with us and building out Devin? And he thought about it for a while, and he came back, and he said I'm down, I want to do it, but my parents really want me to graduate from school, and I'm just not sure there's a way to make it work. So we talked with him more to fully understand the situation, and then we flew to North Carolina, went straight from the airport to his parents' house, had dinner with him and his parents, and tried to understand, all right, what would it take to make this work? They said it sounds like a great opportunity, but we really want our son to be able to graduate. So we figured out a setup where he could work for us essentially full time, but then come in for his required classes, and do what he needed to do to get the diploma. More than that, we got to a point where everyone was happy Then we went straight back to the airport and flew home." – Scott Wu, CEO and co-founder of @cognition, makers of Devin

The difference in the way Drew threw in HS/college and what we saw in the videos from the Steelers rookie camp is extremely subtle (basically a slight adjustment w/ the front leg and zero change to his upper half or arm path/slot) and most wouldn’t be able to pick up on it. I disagree that he was early with his external rotation during college. The video below (from 2024) shows his typical approach over the past 7 years…staying loaded and coiled on the back leg until the front foot makes contact with the ground. The drill is designed to keep him loaded in his back glute, and maintain the discipline to not fire his hips early, until his front foot gets down. His front foot and hip slightly clear (while staying coiled in the core) to allow the hips to come through cleanly. That slight opening of the front hip, along with the slight closure-internal rotation-of the front shoulder is how hip-shoulder separation is created. Getting the hips to come through first (while the shoulders and arms stay back), then the torso, then the shoulders, is how hip-shoulder separation (power) is maximized. Learned that from Chris Hess and it’s been a fantastic tool.

Joe Rogan: "We had a guy in the studio that cut a guy's head off after the podcast." "So, there's work that I do with my friend Josh Dubin. He used to work for the Innocence Project and now he works for the Ike Perlmutter Center for Legal Justice, and it's all wrongly incarcerated people and getting them out of jail, and he spends an incredible amount of his own resources helping people. And through this podcast, a bunch of people have been released. So he wanted to do a podcast episode where he had one of the guys who had been in prison. He was guilty, but he had been given an extraordinarily long sentence and it was wrong. And he comes on and he tells about his experience and he got released early, but he did like 25 years in jail for I believe it was something along the lines of drug dealing and maybe some sort of an assault, but 25 years of his life when he was a young kid. He does the podcast and then afterwards goes and visits this guy that apparently he had a beef with, kills him, cuts his head off, puts him in a soup, like puts a wig on, tries to escape in the hallway like through the cameras. I guess he doesn't understand HD cameras because they haven't been around for 25 years. You know, he's sitting right there, couple weeks later cutting a guy's head off."

Mirage was the new human-buddy lead in #Transformers ROTB. The studio wanted a character other than Bumblebee to have that role and be in the spotlight with Optimus Prime. He was designed to look "handsome" and to be sporty. He was the only character in the film with more than 1 alternate form. He had a total of 4 that we built in 3D (1 of which was cut from the film) and 1 that was only in live action (the garbage truck). I served as the asset Lead and did the Primary Texturing & Look Development for him. I also modelled and designed his eyes, upgrading them from what we had originally in the concept and ref. We spent a lot of time getting his car paint to look correct in shots, matching closely to on set reference pictures of the Porsche. At the end of the film, Mirage gives up his life and becomes the Exo-suit for Noah. The suit was built separately, using the same tooling and systems as Mirage to ensure visual continuity between them for the transformation from Mirage to Noah Exo-suit. He was voice acted by Pete Davidson, a change which was made later in production. The animators tried to introduce some of Pete's mannerisms into Mirage's animations too. Overall he was a character which was a lot of fun to work on and I'm proud of the work the team did to get him to look the way he does in the final film. CREDITS Primary Modelling by Lilian Robert. Final Texturing & LookDev by Martin Kamminga. Various other artists supported the creation of Mirage and the Exo-suit. The Exo-suit and Mirage were sent to WetaFX for the final sequence. Video by Paramount, MPC, and WetaFX.
