Episode Synopsis

In this episode of VALDCAST, Dylan sits down with physical therapist and Impact Sports Physical Therapy founder Bobby Esbrandt to unpack what it really means to assess, treat and develop athletes beyond a single metric. Bobby shares why relying solely on the countermovement jump can leave critical gaps in decision-making, and how building a complete athlete profile — spanning strength, power, rate of force development and reactive qualities — leads to better outcomes, particularly in post-op and ACL rehabilitation. The conversation also explores integrating technology into clinical practice, maintaining continuity of care across multiple clinics and balancing business growth with hands-on clinical excellence.If you’re a physio, S&C coach or clinician looking to move past surface-level testing, improve athlete buy-in and deliver higher-quality, data-informed rehab, this episode is for you.
