86: NBA Training Secrets: How The World’s Biggest Basketball Stars Balance Training & Games

In episode 86, the Senior Director of Health and Performance at The Phoenix Suns, Brady Howe, joins us on the show.

Specifically, Brady will be discussing:

• What an NBA schedule looks like
• How to microdose effectively around games
• How to implement isometrics and active foot exercises

“Brady Howe is the VP of Health and Performance for the Phoenix Suns (most recently the NBA’s championship runner-up). Brady is tasked with overseeing every element related to health and performance within the Sun’s organization. With an extensive background as an athlete, Athletic Trainer and S&C Coach, he has decades of experience in the field. We connected with Brady to discuss how he has found some success in prescribing training methods in-season with such a long and chaotic game schedule.”
