Today I am very excited to have Dr. Tim Brown on The Surf Strong Show. He is one of the foremost experts and leading innovators in the world of sports medicine, going into his 50th year of working with some of the world’s most recognizable athletes.

Dr. Brown currently serves as the Co-Medical Director for the World Surf League, a Performance Expert for both the US Olympic Surf Team and RedBull High Performance athletes. As well as working with Ripcurl and NEUX to create cutting edge technologies.

We talk about being the original Medical Director of the first professional Beach Volleyball Association, the AVP In the early 80s and how that experience combined with his own time as a college football, pro beach volleyball, and surf athlete was the start of a lifelong pursuit to change the recurring injury, rehab, recovery and reinjury cycle he was seeing over and over again amongst the athletes.

Dr. Brown revolutionized the world of sports taping and soft tissue treatment with his innovative Specific Proprioceptive Response Technique. You may know it from the 2008 Beijing Olympics, when professional beach volleyball player Kerri Walsh brought SPRT to the world stage when she won a gold medal with Misty May-Treanor wearing a version of SPRT for an injured shoulder.

We discuss his 5 progression pillars of fitness, how what you Eat, Think, Do is what you become, and the next event of his Surf Movement Masterclass series.

Dr. Brown is responsible for influencing, training, and supporting countless athletes and the sports professionals that work with them. He is a personal mentor and I am honored to have him on the show.
