CSP-MA Director of Performance John O'Neil sits down with friend and Performance Coach for the Atlanta Hawks Ty Terrell. Ty's professionally journey demonstrates the power of gaining experience as he has grown from his roots of coaching youth sports camps to now developing athletes at the highest level of basketball. He discusses the need for coaches to develop a large sample size and find the true value in executing reps in their craft. Ty dives into the details of assessment and how he uses the squat specifically to understand a client's ability to unload and load their joints, and he goes on to highlight the movement competencies of elite throwers. Ty believes that all complexities of movement can be boiled down to basic, foundational principles, and he discusses the structuring of his model for movement, designing exercises that translate to performance, and implementing new learnings into practical application with clients. Ty further explains that the science of coaching is nothing without the art of it mentioning how coaches can better build rapport with athletes, evaluate an athlete's performance needs, and leverage professional networks to develop as a coach. At the end of the day, Ty emphasizes his passion for movement and developing athletes, his gratitude to the trenches, his prior experiences, and life-long mentors, and the lessons learned for building a model for movement.
