Veteran MLB Talent Joins V1 Baseball to Deliver Top-Caliber Interactive Baseball and Softball Training

Leave a comment


V1 Baseball-Practice with Pros

There are countless players who have dreamed of playing baseball at the Major League level. We are providing the opportunity for players to learn to improve their baseball skills including hitting, pitching and fielding by interacting with currently-active and veteran professional baseball players


NOVI, Mich. (PRWEB)

Young and aspiring athletes now have a golden opportunity to receive innovative expert baseball training from a collection of the game’s top professionals. Practice with Pros, LLC was recently founded by former Major League Baseball players Scott Van Slyke and Shawn Tolleson, and perennial All-Star and two-time Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw joined the company shortly after its inception.

V1 Baseball (a division of V1 Sports) recently formalized a strategic alliance agreement with Practice with Pros to deliver professional-level coaching from top-tier baseball and softball professionals using V1’s industry-leading video analysis and coaching software and mobile apps for athletes and sports performance instructors.

Having launched the V1 Baseball component of its sports performance business earlier this summer, V1 Sports (whose marquee enterprise for the past 25 years has been the industry-leading video analysis and coaching platform for golfers and golf instructors) now brings to market accessible, personalized hitting, pitching and fielding coaching for baseball players determined to make it to the next level.

V1’s 2019 strategic acquisition and (subsequent re-branding as “V1 Baseball”) of Don Slaught’s Right View Pro– a fast and easy-to-use frame-by-frame video analysis platform that featured side-by-side hitting, fielding and pitching videos — now enables V1 Baseball to capitalize on the past successes and relationships RVP had with MLB and Minor League Baseball (MiLB) teams, along with several prominent NCAA colleges and universities across the country.

“There are countless players who have dreamed of playing baseball at the Major League level. We are providing the opportunity for players to learn to improve their baseball skills– including hitting, pitching and fielding– by interacting with currently-active and veteran professional baseball players. Through this strategic alliance with Practice with Pros, a dream opportunity now exists for millions of developing and aspiring ball players to learn from the absolute best. This partnership marks an unprecedented breakthrough in baseball coaching and athlete development,” says V1 Sports CEO Bryan Finnerty.

V1 Baseball’s instruction platforms incorporate a powerful combination of live video capture of hitting, pitching or fielding analysis, voice-over tips, telestration, graphic overlay, lesson creation and delivery tools for baseball and softball. V1’s high resolution, high-frame-rate cameras capture athlete’s swing, pitching motion or fielding technique from angles and depths that allow the expert coach to pinpoint key training elements and then quickly devise a personalized, custom lesson and send it directly to the student through the V1 mobile app or email. Coach analysis includes side-by-side views of older swings and Model Swings to keep students on the path to improvement.The new V1 Baseball mobile app will be available in the iOS App Store in a few weeks with optimized video capture and coaching for all baseball and softball skill sets.

Practice with Pros, will leverage its relationships with a large number of current and veteran professional coaches and players, including Kershaw, to grow V1 Baseball’s library of premium coaching content and expand an unprecedented roster of instructors in baseball’s various skill disciplines: hitting, pitching and fielding. Whether a student wants more velocity on his breaking ball or wants to learn to hit for more power, V1 Baseball can connect that student with a professional coach who has excelled professionally at that specific skill set.

“When we saw the user-friendliness of the V1 Baseball mobile app, we realized that we could immediately deliver technology that we wished we had growing up, like the telestrator functionality. With V1 Baseball, players will have access to the greatest collection of baseball knowledge. The tools for the coaches are simple to use for both offensive and defensive skill sets, enabling our professional-level coaches to easily relay positive feedback that best educates players on steps they can take to improve their game,” Van Slyke says.

Practice with Pros has also developed a strategic marketing relationship with Diamante Media Group, Inc., which was co-founded by former Major Leaguer, member of the Emmy winning AT&T SportsNet’s Colorado Rockies broadcast team and MLB Radio Network personality, Ryan “Spilly” Spilborghs. Diamante will support Practice With Pros and V1 Baseball with dynamic storytelling, brand-building and creative marketing to educate and engage consumers on the merits of this unique baseball coaching platform.

“When the Diamante team introduced us to the V1 Sports strategic opportunity, we were very excited to team up with V1 CEO, Bryan Finnerty and his exceptionally strong V1 team. We believe there are a number of milestones that can be achieved quickly through this alliance. That reality, plus the opportunity to receive mentorship from an experienced entrepreneur like Bryan has us very excited for the future,” Tolleson says.

V1 Baseball and Practice With Pros will be making a number of announcements over the next several months as professional coaches continue to join the roster and make their instructional services available to athletes in search of baseball skill improvement. Also, in cooperation with Diamante Media Group, V1 Baseball and Practice With Pros will be producing original video instruction that will be a combination of free and subscription-based content.

Immunity Strength Eye Organ Research Discovered Philip Paden, M.D. On Sharon Kleyne Talk Radio

Sharon Kleyne, Founder of Bio Logic Aqua® Research


GRANTS PASS, Ore. (PRWEB)

Air Date: 7 September 2020

Guests: Philip Paden, M.D., Ophthalmologist, Medford, Oregon

https://www.voiceamerica.com/episode/125579/encore-immunity-protector-with-natures-tears-eyemist

Philip Paden, M.D. and Sharon Kleyne, host of the internationally syndicated The Power of Water® & Your Health sponsored by Nature’s Tears® EyeMist®, naturally pH balanced water technology for acid mantle protection, on VoiceAmerica World Talk Radio & Apple iTunes, have worked for decades to improve immunity strength protection of the eye organ and teach people everywhere new technology hygiene practices to ensure healthier immune systems for eyes and bodies.

In her radio Commentary, Kleyne informs her audience about new technology facts about threats to the immunity strength of the eye. “Dry eye is evaporation of the eye’s tear film, which is 99 percent water,” Kleyne teaches. “The organ of the eye’s immunity strength protection is compromised because the eye is vulnerable to the entire world. That’s why the eye can be so easily infected with the COVID-19 virus and other viruses.”

“Eyes are our number one sensory input,” Philip Paden, M.D., agrees. “Being able to see clearly is being able to receive information you need to proceed with life.” Paden, who began his career as a chemist and has had a successful ophthalmology practice in Medford, Oregon for more than thirty years, says the number one complaint of his patients is uncomfortable eyes. “If your eyes are uncomfortable,” says Paden, “you are unhappy and not performing at your best.” Paden reveals that his research has led him to recommend Nature’s Tears® EyeMist® to patients for immunity strengthening protection of the eyes.

Paden also teaches that “the surface of the eye is the tear film. The number one role of the tear film is to fill the microscopic bumps in the cornea to give you an optical surface that allows very precise vision. The tear film,” Paden says, “requires three layers in order to stay on the cornea and not run down and off the eye. There’s a mucous layer on top of that, and an aqueous layer that is almost 100 percent water. There is an extremely thin surface on the tear film which consists of a single layer of lipids or fats. It is there to slow down evaporation. This area,” Paden continues, “is full of microorganisms. The tear film is actually an army of antibody molecules. If the eye dehydrates, the antibody molecules don’t work as well. Nature’s Tears® EyeMist® is the only tear supplement that is pure water delivered to the eye as a micron-size mist.”

Kleyne, the inventor of Nature’s Tears® EyeMist®, reveals that the product is 100 percent Trade Secret, naturally pH balanced pure water with ac id mantle protection for the eye organ. “The pH balance is what gives the immunity strengthening protection to the eye,” says Kleyne. Noting that Paden is which shocked so many viewers, Kleyne asks him to teach the audience about the tear film.

“Nature’s Tears® EyeMist®,” says Paden, one of the authors of Kleyne’s educational animation film about dry eye and the tear film, “returns the tear film to its normal osmolarity and thickness. Not a single dry eye product on the planet, other than Nature’s Tears® EyeMist®, restores the tear film.”

The network will advise WHO on ways to create equitable and sustainable long-term care models for older people, with a focus on optimizing functional ability and achieving healthy aging.


VANCOUVER, British Columbia (PRWEB)

Colin Milner, a leading authority on the health and well-being of the older adult, has accepted an invitation from the World Health Organization (WHO) to join its Global Network on Long-Term Care (GNLTC). The network will advise WHO on ways to create equitable and sustainable long-term care models for older people, with a focus on optimizing functional ability and achieving healthy aging.

The position adds to Milner’s existing role as a member of the WHO Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) team.

“I am honored to join GNLTC and help move its agenda and workstreams forward,” Milner said. “As WHO notes, building sustainable and equitable long-term care systems is fundamental to achieving healthy aging globally. The network’s goals intersect and mesh with those of ICAA: service provision using a person-centered approach, emphasizing wellness, function and quality of life to maximize outcomes for all older adults.”.

Among much else, the GNLTC will help define key principles to be included in long-term care provision; develop technical guidance and training materials; and review and categorize practical assessment tools for domains of functional ability.

Milner, who has been recognized by the World Economic Forum as one of “the most innovative and influential minds” in the world on aging-related topics, will leverage his experience and expertise as a leader and award-winning writer to support and help accelerate adoption of the GNLTC’s initiatives.

TeVido BioDevices Announces Availability of COVID-19 Boutique Testing Service

Leave a comment



AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB)

TeVido BioDevices (TeVido), a leader in regenerative medicine for repairing loss of pigmentation, today launched Boutique Testing Services for diagnosis of COVID-19.

Testing capacity is limited across the country. Many diagnostic laboratories are overwhelmed – causing long lead times for results. Yet many situations require a COVID-Negative test result performed within 72 hours of showing up. Employment requirements, travel, and elective surgeries are just a few examples. Unfortunately, these scenarios have low priority in the testing queue.

“As we spoke to our TruPigment™ partners,” said Laura Bosworth TeVido CEO, “we learned private clinics are struggling to meet the needs of their clients.”

TeVido will sign up a limited number of clinics for dedicated COVID-19 diagnostic testing. The concierge service turns around results quickly and reliably. Results are typically provided next business day when samples are delivered to TeVido before 10.30 a.m. We work closely with clinic staff to customize a schedule for picking up patient samples that fits the needs of a busy private practice. We provide a saliva sample collection kit that is easy to use and considered more comfortable for patients than traditional nasopharyngeal swabs.

Bosworth goes on to say, “By maintaining a small number of testing clients, we can meet their needs while continuing to work with TruPigment™ early adopters.”

The Company also announced the appointment of Christine Bulot, Ph.D. as Clinical Lab Director. An experienced microbiologist, Dr. Bulot has over 15 years’ successful lab experience and is certified by the American Board of Bioanalysis as a High Complexity Clinical Laboratory Director and by the College of American Pathologists as a Laboratory Inspector Team Lead.

TeVido leverages an existing FDA compliant facility, high complexity test equipment and strength in molecular biology to join the fight against COVID-19. TeVido performs SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic tests using a well-known laboratory technique called polymerase chain reaction or PCR, to determine if a patient has a current infection. PCR is generally considered the gold standard for testing. The cost for our test is competitive with others and often less expensive.

TruPigment™, TeVido’s lead product, enables physicians to provide skin cell transplants, to treat loss of skin color, without making costly investment in equipment and specialized skills.

About TeVido BioDevices: TeVido is a privately-held, commercial stage, Biotechnology Company addressing unmet needs in reconstructive and aesthetic procedures, utilizing a patient’s own living cells. TeVido’s state of the art facility is located in Austin, Texas where the Company is headquartered. The Company has invested several years and millions of dollars on research and development of TruPigment™ and has been the recipient of Small Business Innovation (SBIR) awards from the National Science Foundation and the National Cancer Institute. https://tevidobiodevices.com/covid-19-testing/

AWATfit to Donate 25% of Class Costs to Mashashimuet Park’s Playground Fund

Leave a comment



NEW YORK (PRWEB)

Hamptons-based mobile fitness franchise AWATfit (All Weather All Terrain Fitness) has plans to raise over $25K for Mashashimuet Park’s playground fund over the next 60 days by hosting outdoor classes in the park. The brand has committed to donating $10 from each participating class member’s $40 class charge.

AWATfit mobilizes fitness by building equipment into specialty trucks perfect for group training events in wide-open spaces. As a longtime resident of the Hamptons, AWATfit’s CEO Richard Decker is excited by the opportunity to give back to his community through his business, and now more than ever, is eager to promote community involvement within his franchise network as it grows.

“Giving back to my community is incredibly important to me. This is my community,” Decker explained. “And not only will this donation help improve the park for the children of the community, it will also help to promote new business ventures to those who attend the classes. AWATfit is an incredibly attractive prospect for someone in the fitness industry who wants to own their own business, and I’m hopeful that this fundraiser might be the best way to reach those who might not yet know their potential.”

During the pandemic, the demand for local training service options has been overwhelming as people are still weary of working out in enclosed spaces like traditional brick-and-mortar gyms. For Decker and AWATfit, this has been an incredible opportunity for growth — Most recently AWATfit signed its first franchisee in Port Jefferson, New York who is set to open next month.

“Whether you’re a professional athlete or just trying to get some exercise in after work, the one thing that everyone hates about going to the gym is the environment — running in place, staring at walls, and now germs,” says Decker. “When you exercise outdoors, your energy and mood increase automatically, but most people don’t have access to a full set of gym equipment outside.”

AWATfit plans to start the fundraising as soon as possible, with classes in Mashashimuet Park set for all of September. In addition to the funds raised for the playground fund by the initial class fees, those who are interested can also contribute donations separate from the fee as well.

ABOUT AWATFIT:

Founded by Rich Decker, a fitness enthusiast and entrepreneur with more than 30 years in the industry, AWATfit is a fully mobile, full-service fitness business run entirely out of 20-foot truck fully equipped with 20 cutting-edge workout stations designed to address strength, flexibility, core, agility and cardiovascular as well as the mind-body-spirit connection. Customers get the full workout experience in the comfort and convenience of their preferred location without the hassle of driving, parking, checking in or crowds. With minimal overhead and operational requirements, AWATfit franchises are easy and inexpensive to run, offering the perfect business opportunity for any fitness enthusiast, regardless of their business experience.

The number of Americans ages 65 and older in the U.S. will more than double in the next forty years. The science of aging, therefore, is an important topic to explore as we are starting to understand more and more about the benefits of exercise as people age.

“It’s time to debunk the myths that we hold about aging. With EGYM, we are ready to apply the science of aging to spare people the unnecessary losses in strength, endurance, cognition, and function,” said Mike Studer, the highly acclaimed and award winning physical therapist, author, and speaker with expertise in a variety of areas including neurology and geriatric physical therapy.

EGYM, in collaboration with Fitness Industry Technology Council, invites all professionals and stakeholders in the Senior Living and Active Aging sectors to an ongoing discussion on recent trends regarding the science of aging delivered by one of the world-class experts in the subject: Mike Studer.

Topics will include:

  • What Exactly Is The Science Of Aging?

  • What Are The Key Trends When It Comes To Aging?

  • Why Is Neuroplasticity So Essential And What Is It?

  • Why Exercise And How We Think About It Is So Important Today?

Panelists will include:

Bryan O’Rourke, CEO of FIT-C and Vedere Ventures, who is a thought leader in technology and trends in the health and fitness industry had this to say, “By 2030 there will be more people over 60 in the U.S. than school-aged kids. Given the volumes of science that reflects the enormous benefits of exercise at any age, and particularly as people get older, this is a very timely subject. Being that Mike Studer is one of the leading thinkers on the science of aging, his insights will be a tremendous value to many.”
