Episode 48: Brad Thorpe on Building ISOPHIT, Preventing Injuries & Changing the Way Athletes Train
Manage episode 477321776 series 3600868
In Episode 48 of Scoreboard, Chris Titley chats with Brad Thorpe, the Canadian founder and inventor of ISOPHIT—an innovative isometric training device now used by athletes across the NBA, NFL, MLB, and elite sporting programs around the world.
Brad shares how a conversation at a Toronto gym sparked the idea, and how a simple lack of wall space led to a solution that’s now changing global training systems.
He unpacks the science behind isometrics, how ISOPHIT works across every level of sport—from teenage sprinters like Gout Gout to world champion drivers—and why it’s especially relevant for Australia’s ACL injury epidemic.
From manufacturing in China to building a grassroots movement, Brad gives a brutally honest look at the highs and lows of scaling a sports tech product, the reality of working with pro teams, and why isometric strength might be the untapped key to performance and longevity.
🧱 From big leagues to young athletes—Brad’s on a mission to make the world train smarter, not harder.
