I had a great time discussing a deep dive into the training of an elite sprint group. Everything on and off the track must be developed and learned to bring an athlete to world-class status. I enjoyed learning Bart's process in developing training and his adaptations over time. He lays out his daily training within a weekly micro-cycle. We talked about numerous concepts from speed to sponsorship obligations and warm weather camps. He admits that vitamin D and sunlight can play a huge role in hedging our athletes against others in different climates. Bart was gracious enough to discuss why he still uses tempo and hill training as part of his sprint training. Click in and listen!

I had the privilege to sit down with long-time strength and conditioning coach Bob Alejo. I got to know one another through our friend Derek Hansen and his ZoomPOP group talks. Bob packs a ton of philosophical and technical expertise in our hour together. Coach, athletes, and administrators will find a lot of value in our conversation. For our strength and conditioning Gurus will love the practical way he breaks down how he built a strength training program that worked so well in professional sports. Sit down, turn us on, and learn something from BIG time Bob Alejo!

Illyan and I had one of the deepest training conversations yet on this Podcast. We went into hyper detail about his training design. Anyone listening to this talk is given an advanced primer into the coaching world of jumps. His talk along with my discussion with Rob Assise a few weeks back will give you what few clinics can provide on jump training. We talked about variations of key principles and methods for different jumpers. We discussed his priorities training choices. He broke this down day to day, week to week, and month to month. I had the world of jumps opened to me at a deep level. Even though the focus of the talk was on the jump events, coach Chamov's ideas can be applied across all sporting pursuits. Especially, in regards to speed and power events. Make sure you have a pen and notebook ready. As Illyan takes us through a clinic on coaching the jumps.

5. Success is not hinged on what competitors do.  4. Clear standards matter but should have enough agility to fit all manner of circumstances. 3. Learn when to engage in debate and when not to engage. 2. Never be afraid to ask for help and don't be mad when some say no. 1. Live the "All Depends" philosophy.

Today was like being a kid in a candy store as I had an absolute blast learning from Al Vermeil. Coach Vermeil is most famous for his work as the strength & conditioning coach during the Chicago Bull's dynasty run and his time with the NFL Championship 49ers. However, it's important to mention he has spent time with almost every level including high school. His breadth and depth of knowledge is staggering. Certainly, his expertise is a testament to his dedication to being a lifelong learner. We discussed his personal story and luck to get into strength training at such an early age. He shared the importance of humbling yourself to learn from the greats in the field. He specifically reflected on the importance of Charlie Francis in his development. We dove deep into his preference of training without gadgets whenever possible. We compared workloads of the past and today. Al then shares his thoughts about unilateral vs. bilateral lifts. Coach Vermeil shared his test battery for evaluating athletes. After discussing testing Al explains the key principles of his pyramid of performance. With such a long career in the field, I got Al to share how he created a cadre of trusted friends and advisers. Finally, we conclude with sage advice from Coach Vermeil about how to take care of yourself and the others you have the privilege to work with daily.
