Nathan J. Shaw, CSCS, RSCC*E

Nate Shaw has been the Major League Strength and Conditioning Coordinator for the Arizona Diamondbacks Major League Baseball (MLB) organization since 2006. The Diamondbacks strength and conditioning philosophy could be described in many ways. Key concepts include: functional movements, joint centration, diaphragmatic breathing, intra-abdominal pressure, thoracic rotation, strength, durability, etc. Ultimately, the program is about fostering and creating movement efficiency in an effort to minimize wear and maximize recovery throughout the marathon 162-game season.
