You have great information! But honestly it’s hard to listen to. Your mic pops and crackles often. It doesn’t help to turn it down because then we can’t hear you! Please consider investing in and researching a better mic and sound mixer to create an optimal listen experience.

Dave has been setting the standard for disseminating valuable information on keeping gymnasts and other athletes happy and healthy. Lots of good science here!

Hi! Love the podcast! I’m the mom of a 9yr old level 3 gymnast. This podcast has helped me when I’ve been curious about gymnastic question. I just scroll through and find an episode that fits what I’m curious about. It doesn’t always apply to my daughter because she’s a lower level gymnast but knowledge is power. This episode helped in answering mine and my husband’s questions whether or not we should have our daughter play another season of softball and soccer.

Loving the show so far! Curious though…when you say screen the gymnast splits with a PT…so you have resources to find one where I live in Dallas area? Thanks!!

Wonderful content on a wide variety of subjects! I always learn something new, and the common sense delivery is appreciated. I especially like how Dr. Tilley is transparent about what he doesn’t know, and is open to accepting new ideas, and is honest about his own growth and learning from past mistakes. Our industry and the athletes he works with is better because of what he contributes.

I stepped away from coaching gymnastics for 10 years to have kids and a focus on my family and I have recently started again and I am so happy to have all the amazing information that Dave has available to us on his podcast. I really wish this podcast had been around 10 years ago. All the information he shares is truly invaluable and I am so grateful to have found this amazing resource and that he is helping to make the gymnastics community a more wholistically safe place for gymnasts by helping educate coaches.

I have been listening to all of the podcasts and reading all of Dave’s materials on Shift and his Hero Lab as they are highly informative to us coaches as to strength and conditioning training in order to prevent overuse injuries, positive coaching methodologies and physical therapies for helping our gymnasts through painful injuries and their comebacks. The podcasts are always high quality in production but most importantly in the guest speakers he has on. His books are at times tedious unless you are in the medical field and his strength and conditioning lingo is difficult to decipher, but in the end with his YouTube videos showing the movements, they kick your coaching skills up several notches!

Loved your interview with Kyla, Madison and val. so enjoyable. Focus more on the east coast too for college gymnastics. Just needed a whole podcast with Kyla and Madison focusing on elite level. I Watch elite much more cause it’s very on the edge and on your seat a lot. Scoring is so much tougher. Kyla and Madison were excellent to follow and watch their journey to the olympics.

Dave has an insane amount of knowledge, and only keeps adding with all the wonderful guests. Top notch evidence based gymnastics tips and tricks.

As a family physician and parent of Level 8 and 10 athletes, I am often looking for evidence-based information specific to the sport of gymnastics. Dave has produced a truly incredible resource with these episodes which are appropriate for athletes, coaches, parents, physical and massage therapists, and other health professionals. His specific experience with gymnasts coupled with an unrelenting desire for rigorous scientific data to support practice guidelines is unmatched. Thank you for your generous work, Dr. Tilley!!

This hidden gem is an excellent resource for coaches, gymnasts, athletes, and owners, covering various aspects of the complex sport of gymnastics from the mental, physical, and culture of the sport. I’ve had the pleasure to meet Dr. Tilley numerous times and know first hand his passion and dedication to the sport is sincere and geared toward making athletes stronger and safer for longevity and positivity. As a professional coach involved in the sport for over three decades, we need more formats like this one. John D. Min Magma Gymnastics Owner/Head Coach USECA Video Chairman

I am a competitive gymnastics coach with my BS in exercise science. I also coach crossfit. I love how Dave emphasizes the importance of a strength and conditioning program for young athletes. I am trying to introduce this in my gym and to my athletes, so this podcast is invaluable to me! thank you so much!!!

I have a meeting with a blocked gymnast so wanted to find some new tools to share. I searched my podcast app and found this. After listening, I have the tools I was looking for and the confidence to support my blocked gymnast. I immediately subscribed. Want an incredible, efficient resource!

Being a former gymnast, and now a coach I am passionate about the sport of gymnastics. This podcast is a phenomenal resource- immensely inspiring and immeasurably helpful! Thank you Dave!!! You have created a very powerful and transformative resource that impacts the lives of many. Keep on doing what you’re doing.

This was an amazing and very thorough podcast. I enjoyed every minute of it.

This podcast is great for those involved with gymnastics as well as any high level athletes. It has great content. Very informative and entertaining!!

I’m an aspiring physical therapist and a gymnastics nerd, so this podcast is the best of both words for me! It’s super educational and entertaining. Thanks for highlighting such important topics and spreading vital information to those who need it!

Just listened to the episode with Tom Farden from the University of Utah about team chemistry. Great content. Anyone involved with gymnastics should support this podcast.

Hello. I just listened to the Doc Ali show with my gymnasts, ages 9 and 12. Great show. As a parent, I appreciate hearing your perspective as well as Doc Ali’s because often parents aren’t quite sure how to talk to their gymnasts about their struggles and this show gave me some great ideas about how to help with anxiety and positive thinking, motivation, etc. I love the idea of developing humans first and gymnasts second. Thanks and I plan to listen to your other shows ASAP!

Super helpful and insightful. I recently graduated college with an exercise science degree and have been coaching gymnastics for about 7 years. The podcast shows how to apply many of concepts from strength and conditioning and injury prevention in a gymnastics setting. The podcast is well constructed too. No extra fluff, he gets right to the point.

I’ve been following Dave’s stuff for a while now and everything he has put out has been awesome. This podcast is no exception. I would recommend it to any coach that wants to continue learning.

Amazing insight into the culture of gymnastics and the pitfalls medical professionals work through. The principles and topics discussed here can go beyond gymnastics. Quality knowledge from high quality resources. Excited to keep learning more throughout the show. This depth of conversation and dialogue is what we need more of!

This podcast is a great resource for coaches, parents, and gymnasts alike. It provides valuable insight on all aspects of the gymnast’s life.

I’ve been reading The Science of Gymnastics and while I’ve only gotten to listen to one episode so far I love how they complement each other. Can wait to listen to more!

I am in awe every time I listen or read articles from Dave. It’s mind blowing all the information he has and how helpful it is. I share his information all the time with various coaches from many sports and activities. I wish everyone would follow him and help our athletes achieve greatness and keep healthy bodies. My son and one of his good friends were just recently diagnosed with having bilateral pars fractures and somehow found Dave in the mix and he has been so helpful and kind padding down some great information to us. Don’t miss out on listening to him!

I’m so excited!!! I worship this blog as it has been incredibly helpful in building much needed endurance and flexibility in my XCel athletes! I’ve also used his content for my injured kids with much success!

As a gymnastics coach it is very helpful to experts like Dave to learn from he is amazing and knows the sport of gymnastics so well!! I highly recommend going to one of his lectures if you get the chance you won’t be disappointed!!!

Dave Tilley provides top of the line information on ALL things related to fitness, rehab, performance, and optimal movement! As a Physical Therapist, I find this podcast so valuable in striving to provide the most cutting edge rehab and sports performance to my patients and clients!
