“Mike Reinold and Eric Cressey’s Optimal Shoulder Performance Seminar was one of a kind. As a strength coach at the collegiate level who works with baseball, swimming, and tennis, I couldn’t wait to get back to work and implement the protocols and assessments I learned while attending the seminar. There is nothing more satisfying to a coach than attending seminar and actually returning with a myriad of quality useful information. Whether you are a rehabilitation or performance specialist, if you weren’t lucky enough to attend the seminar, do what is right for your clients and invest in the Optimal Shoulder Performance DVD set.”

“I was thrilled to learn that Eric Cressey and Mike Reinold were putting on a seminar all about the shoulder. Having purchased all of Eric’s products and consistently read his blog, I know Eric is highly intelligent, has a wealth of experience training athletes of all abilities and levels, and has a solid and comprehensive understanding of functional anatomy, pathology, and biomechanics of the shoulder. Furthermore, Eric works with a ton of baseball players who have varying degrees of shoulder dysfunction, so who better to present on the topic? In addition, to also have Mike, a highly respected physical therapist for the Red Sox, presenting was more than I could ask for. “To say this seminar was great would be an understatement. Eric and Mike didn’t just do a phenomenal job of blending the latest science, research, pathology as well as functional anatomy of the shoulder with real world application; they also made everything easy to comprehend and apply in a logical and progressive manner. The practical portion of the seminar is priceless, packed with a ton of assessments and exercises to improve shoulder performance. The information presented in this seminar has helped me to better understand how to assess shoulder function as well as design a comprehensive training program to improve shoulder performance. “I walked away from this seminar with more knowledge and practical understanding of shoulder biomechanics, dysfunction and anatomy than I could have imagined. Having recently obtained a position as a minor league strength and conditioning coach with the Toronto Blue Jays, I can’t thank Eric and Mike enough for helping me be better prepared to work with the baseball players.”

“With this seminar, the content is definitely there, but it’s the intangible passion that surrounds Mike and Eric when they teach others the various ways to assess and integrate shoulder care. Their intent is obvious and they hold nothing back in their quest to equip other professionals with the proper tools and knowledge to enhance athletic performance!”

Sports Performance Director– Dynamic Sports Training
“Mike and Eric do an incredible job of making sense out of complex information and research without watering it down a bit. I not only left the seminar with a better understanding of the functional work that all the muscles of the shoulders do, but also with plenty of new tools to put into my own program along with the knowledge to know when and why to use them. It was worth every penny, which I’m sure comes as no surprise to anyone fortunate enough to have learned from these guys previously.”

“I attended this seminar with high hopes of learning more about the ‘baseball shoulder’ from two different approaches of the sports medicine and performance community. This seminar not only exceeded my expectations, but more importantly, took ‘one huge leap’ toward bridging the gap between two different communities (physical therapy/athletic training and strength and conditioning) that have the same common goal: to get athletes on the field of play and keep them there. These two highly-intelligent leaders of their respective fields have a great sense of evidence-influenced practice, and maybe more importantly, have an innate ability to readily and effectively communicate their knowledge. Thanks to Eric and Mike, this seminar was momentous in the on-going mission of creating a ‘common language’ for those working in the performance-based fields. I encourage any and all members of the performance fields to invest in the DVDs of this seminar and attend any seminar Mike and Eric put on. I promise you will learn something valuable every single time you have the opportunity to listen to either of them because they are constantly learning, studying, and changing – all great signs of any leader of any field.”

“I recently attended a seminar on shoulder training and rehabilitation that was a collaborative effort between two experts, Eric Cressey and Mike Reinold. I expected the seminar to present me with great information, and was not disappointed. Throughout the day, I was presented with corrective exercises, assessment techniques, and a handy flow chart that reinforced the notion that the site of pain is not always the source of the pain. Mike and Eric’s lecture left me with a better understanding of how to best train and treat this complex and sometimes intimidating joint. From the flow of the lectures to the hands on component of the class, Optimal Shoulder Performance will provide you with strategies to improve or restore shoulder function as well as improve your personal or athletic programming.”
