  • Sam Miller - Proteus Motion

    Sam Miller - Proteus Motion
    Oct 20 2024
    In this episode of The Coach Doctor podcast, I talk with Sam Miller, the CEO and founder of Proteus Motion. Proteus is a groundbreaking training system that has transformed the world of fitness and human performance. It has expanded the scope of quantifiable human movement from a limited 5%—primarily focused on vertical pushes and pulls like squats and deadlifts—to an astonishing 98%, encompassing nearly every conceivable angle and type of movement.

    If you have watched the Netflix series Quarterback, you can see Superbowl Champion Patrick Mahomes using the technology as part of his preparation in becoming the most dominant quarterback in the NFL. Proteus is now used by sporting franchises in the NFL, Major League Baseball, the NBA, the National Hockey League, Golfing institutions such as the PGA, University sporting Programs and also in medical institutions for recovery purposes.

    Whist the technology itself is revolutionary, Sam’s story is also a remarkable blend of innovation, grit and self-belief that stemmed from injuries as a youth athlete, to completing a project started by his father back in the 90’s.

    If you would like to know more about Proteus Motion they have an extremely informative website with a lot of videos and demonstrations using the technology. The web address is proteusmotion.com . Alternative you can check Proteus Motion out on Instagram, Tik Tok, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter / X using the handle @proteusmotion for all platforms. For LinkedIn you can follow Sam via @Sam Miller.

    Thank you for listening to another episode of The Coach Doctor Podcast.

    Alicia Edge - Compeat Performance
    Aug 29 2024
    Alicia Edge is the co-founder and principal dietician at Compeat Performance, a company that is revolutionising athlete nutrition and well-being through technology. Alicia is also the Lead performance dietician for the Matildas, the Australian Women’s Football team who won the hearts of millions for their performances at the 2023 FIFA World Cup. She has also held Nutritionist roles at the Australian Institute of Sport and the NSW Waratahs Rugby Union. I first met Alicia at an Exercise and Sports Science Australia forum that was discussing women in sport, and I saw someone who was very passionate about sport and performance and more importantly about female heath and well-being. Alicia later joined me on a panel at the Business and Development of Women in Football Conference and again her passion for advocating for women in sport not just as athletes but in all of the support roles such as coaching and organisational roles was inspirational.
