EP 231: Steven Leicht:Global Perspectives on Baseball: Biomechanics, Culture, and Player Development

Steve Leicht provides deep insights into the evolving field of sports science, the global nature of baseball, and the importance of individualized athlete development, all while offering a glimpse into the inner workings of professional sports teams like the Chicago White Sox. Key Discussion Points: Steve’s Journey: From playing Division III baseball to becoming a biomechanist after injuries ended his playing career. Worked with Tread Athletics before joining the White Sox, gaining valuable experience with elite athletes. Role in Professional Baseball: Works with White Sox players across different levels, from rookies to veterans. Emphasizes the need for advanced degrees and collaborative teamwork in professional sports science. Sports Science Insights: Discusses the broad scope of sports science, beyond just biomechanics—touching on rehabilitation, workload management, and force generation. Global Influence on Baseball: Examines regional differences in training and biomechanics, focusing on the unique approaches in North America, Latin America, and East Asia. Cultural Impact on Athletic Development: Discusses how cultural practices like dancing and everyday habits (e.g., walking) influence athletic mobility and performance. Future Trends in Player Development: Steve shares excitement about the potential growth of baseball in regions like India, comparing it to cultural parallels in sports like cricket. Individualized Training: Advocates for training approaches tailored to each athlete’s strengths rather than forcing them into conventional molds. Emphasizes the importance of understanding an athlete’s natural biomechanics and leveraging tools like wearables to monitor performance and recovery. Steven's Socials: IG @s.leicht.ss
