6 Things I’m Focusing on in My Programming and Coaching


Listen Later

When you’ve coached for 20+ years, create content, and work to mentor young coaches, you tend to answer a lot of questions.

But one of the questions I’ve been asked the most recently is this:

What has changed about your programming in the past 2-3 years?

Or maybe along those same lines:

How have you continued to evolve your training and coaching in recent years?

So in today’s solo podcast, that’s exactly what we’re going to talk about – 6 things I’m focusing on in my programming and coaching right now!

 

Ask Yourself: Are they using strategies to compensate or work around previous injuries?

 

This week on the Physical Prep Podcast:
  • Why my core philosophy or “Big Rocks” when it comes to programming and coaching have not (and probably will not) change.
  • The role isometrics play in my programming, as well as the differences between overcoming and yielding ISO’s.
  • Isolation work: Friend or foe? Should you be blowing up calves, quads and hamstrings if necessary?
  • Why internal rotation is such a key measure, and how to unlock it with your clients and athletes.
  • How a seminar with Lee Taft and Nick Winkelman in 2012 initiated my journey to becoming a better speed and movement coach.
  • The role force development plays in a program, and why athletes shouldn’t just be focusing on maximal strength to enhance athletic performance.
  • Why the foot is such a critical structure, and why I’m placing a bigger emphasis on barefoot and gait training in my programs.

          Build Savage, Athletic Beasts with Exerfly!

          This week’s episode of the Physical Preparation Podcast is brought to you by Exerfly.

          Flywheel training is a method of strength training where your athletes generate resistance by using the inertia of a flywheel instead of traditional gravity-based resistance training

          By accelerating and then decelerating a disk, your athletes generate resistance in both the concentric and eccentric portions of the lift, WITHOUT the need for ridiculously heavy weights.

          Standard free weight training is great for the early preparatory phases, but as athletes develop there’s more to it than just getting stronger at all costs.

          At some point, you need to prepare them for the massive eccentric forces they’ll experience on the field, court or pitch – and with Exerfly’s motorized technology, you can increase the eccentric overload of the lift anywhere from 1-80%!

          Exerfly is used by numerous teams in the NFL, NBA, over 50% of the English Premiere League, and numerous Olympic development programs.

          Now as a small business owner you may immediately assume that an Exerfly is out of your budget, because we all know that every penny counts.

          But Exerfly has you covered here as well – they offer 36-month, interest free-financing, so you can get started ASAP with your training and pay as you go.

          And when you factor in a 30-day money back guarantee, 2- year warranty AND free shipping, the Exerfly really is a solid investment.
