Dr. Tyler Lesher | From the NBA to Private Training - What Actually Transfers

About this episode

Tyler Lesher discusses the transfer of training methods from the NBA to private training and the importance of recovery interventions.

Tyler Lesher has worked in the NBA, UCLA Basketball, and now in the private sector with a professional athlete. In this episode, we break down what transfers across those settings—and what doesn’t. We discuss why small recovery interventions matter, and how anecdotal experience shapes practice.
