In this episode of the Tread Podcast, John Lantigua, Trey Goodrich, and Zach Warren break down how all three of them increased their velocity post-retirement. The answer comes down to this: years of coaching taught them what actually matters in a throw, and retirement gave them the freedom to fully apply it.
The conversation digs into the real reasons behind their gains, simplifying their approach, identifying the three or four things that actually matter in a throw, and training without the pressure of a long season. From leaning into individual body types to hammering the weight room in ways they never did as players, each coach found their own path to throwing harder by finally understanding why certain mechanics work instead of just copying what looked good.
