The Research Rundown (Ep. 7): Dave Yeager on Individualized Movement, Load Tolerance, and the Evolution of Clinical Practice

In episode 7 of the Research Rundown, Paul Buchheit and Joe Rauch sit down with Dave Yeager to dig into one of the most meaningful evolutions in his clinical practice — the shift from a broad, generalized approach to something far more precise and individualized.Dave calls it going from shotgun to sniper. Over years of working with professional athletes, he has refined the way he thinks about each player's capacity, load tolerance, and movement patterns, moving away from one-size-fits-all protocols and toward strategies built around the individual in front of him.The conversation gets into how clinicians, practitioners, and coaches can work together to take that individualized information and actually apply it on the field, in the weight room, and throughout the rehabilitation process. A practical, experience-driven discussion with real implications for anyone working at the intersection of sports medicine and performance.For more information about PBATS and athletic training, visit pbats.com.
