Washington Nationals Baseball Strength Podcast with John Philbin

The Washington Nationals won the National League East Division Championship this season, winning 96 ballgames.  So, ASAP caught up with the team's strength and conditioning coach, Joh Philbin for this podcast. Philbin, in his 6th year with the 'Nats, has an interesting career...even having a stint as an Olympic Bobsledder! He has also introduced some new concepts to the Nationals in their training program and continues to improve upon strength training for baseball...even while playing a season of 162 regular season contests. 

Coach Philbin also was involved in developing an over weighted batting training device that helps to increase bat speed and train the athlete to bring the bat through the strike zone more efficiently and in a straighter line.. It's an aluminum  bat for youth players, high school and college athletes. It's called the SWINGXP. And it has endorsement as the Official Training Bat of USA Baseball.
