Was reading up on how different types of vocations require different types of training, from NFL Players, to Navy SEALs, to Office Workers.

The proprietor of Exos, Mark Verstegen used to be a Linebacker at Washington State, and he's where College Players go to prepare for the Combine.

His approach is to teach athletes how to move and train to prevent injury. Have you ever noticed how some players like Byron Maxwell and Paul Richardson were injury prone, then all of sudden they were able to stay healthy? I don't know what they changed, but they had to of changed something.

So I'm wondering if Chris Carson could benefit from this during the offseason?

"you see NFL physicians at the combine focusing on movement patterns—foot and ankle changes, the same thing with hips and the shoulders. It’s not just the system he’s created; it’s his ability to see the interrelatedness of things."

In 2006, Exos started working with the U. S. Navy and Special Forces to help develop and protect their “human capital.” By applying the Exos system, the military is able to better prepare soldiers for deployment, help them return to duty following injury,

“I don’t know what I would have done without help from Mark and Exos,” says former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell, author of Lone Survivor and an Exos regular. “I might have ended up in a wheelchair” due to injuries he sustained in Afghanistan. Luttrell now visits Exos at least once a year for several weeks.

Exos currently employs more than 4,500 people at over 400 outposts globally

This weeks radio interview with Nick Vannett spoke to the importance of finding the right trainer. Nick contrasted the help he realized from an actual warm up and exercise regiment designed specifically for him for his back problems ..... to a sit up straight and use this pillow response from another in the field. Hysterical story from Nick Vannett. It's like everything else. It isn't the branding that's important. It's finding the right person.

DANNY, DAVE AND MOORE November 5, 2018 - Hour 3

Monday's third hour begins with Seahawks tight end Nick Vannett sitting down with Danny, Dave, and Moore for the Player Spotlight. What has his season been like dealing with a back injury? Vannett shares with the guys and also some head-scratching advice he got from a back specialist.


Later, it's time for week 9 Roses and Thorns. The day ends with What We Learned.

I do miss the Luke Wilson segments. But, Nick Vannett has a healthy sense of humor as well. I enjoyed the listen. Thanks for posting "ivotuk"
