(Ep077) Sean Light: Rolling with Brandon Ingram, Randy Johnson’s Championship Ring, and Rewiring Your Brain for High Performance
In practice, Sean Light could often make every free throw. So why was it that in college basketball games he felt frozen at the line, while his brother could pitch 102 miles an hour at Fenway Park with no problem? It was questions like this that Sean sought to answer as he served as a strength coach with the New York Yankees and Arizona Diamondbacks.
As he observed minor leaguers over the long, 162-game season, there were a lot of counterintuitive patterns, like nonchalant players making it to the majors while hard workers struggled. It wasn’t until Sean joined Basketball Strong co-host Tim DiFrancesco at the Lakers that he started making connections between the brain, nervous system, and performance. He has since built such insights into evidence-based systems of excellence through Weight Room Wealth.
