Coach and Coordinator Podcast Keith Grabowski

In this episode of Coach and Coordinator Podcast presented by Vertical Raise, we're thrilled to have Sam Miller, founder of Proteus Motion, join us to discuss the groundbreaking features of the Proteus System. This innovative system quantifies physical strength and power through specialized hardware, focusing on three-dimensional, rotational, and multi-planar movements, offering personalized insights and training recommendations. For those of your not familiar with Proteus, it was the machine Patrick Mahomes was using in the Netflix series Quarterback.

Proteus is described as a sports science lab in a box, streamlining performance testing with its origins in developing 3D resistance at MIT. It revolutionizes athlete performance by providing efficient testing protocols, identifying training implications, and addressing deficiencies in traditional linear training methods. 

Sam highlights Proteus's user-friendly nature, precise feedback, and measurable progress, emphasizing its value in enhancing strength and conditioning programs for various demographics, especially in rotational and multi-planar movements.
