169: Miguel Aragoncillo on Massive Performance Increases Through Skill and S&C Integration | Sponsored by Simplifaster - a podcast by Joel Smith, Just-Fly-Sports.com

Today’s episode features Miguel Aragoncillo, strength coach and skill acquisition specialist based out of Boston, MA.  Miguel has worked with athletes of all levels, and now specializes in working with baseball pitchers where he is getting serious results through integration of skill and motor learning tools.  Miguel has a significant background in PRI and worked as an assistant in multiple courses.  He also has a unique athletic backstory, as he was a break-dancer before moving into a coaching role.





Miguel is one of the most intelligent and innovative coaches in the field.  He is pushing human performance forward by integrating what he has learned in the world of strength and conditioning, neuro-mechanics and skill acquisition, and is using that to get results such as tacking 5-7MPH on pitching speed in a matter of minutes.





Our field is still growing at a rapid rate.  Although hard-line definitions of the scope of a strength coach definitely exist in the university and professional sectors, there is no doubt as to the inter-disciplinary nature of sports performance, as well as the impact that the wide-scope of S&C related concepts can have on the next level up on the performance pyramid, that of sport skill itself.  This is something that Mike Guadango mentioned in podcast #151, and has been resonating with me for some time.





Miguel’s intelligent take on the performance industry has been on my radar for some time.  On today’s show, Miguel and I chat about guiding athletes in the process of skill acquisition, through processes on creating drills to improve sport skills, integrating biomechanical and PRI based concepts, and also setting up sport skill training through sensory contrasts.
