CVASPS The Podcast

“If you love them you’ll tell them the truth.”

What’s up everybody and welcome the 79th episode of Outside The Rack brought to you by Kinetic Performance the makers of Gymaware. In this show we are going to try to dive a little deeper into the minds of the top practitioners in the world of sport performance to learn a bit more about who they actually are and how they got to where they are at today. Today we are joined by University at Buffalo’s Head Football Strength and Conditioning, Matt Gildersleeve. Matt, thanks for being with us today.

Before we start, who is Matt Gildersleeve?
I’m a teacher at heart, a learner, and a server.

1) Describe a learning situation that brought about an epiphany in your career?
Becoming a young head coach forced him to dive down the rabbit hole of how he developed his COD protocols.

2) If you could ask one question and you know you would get the answer what would that be and why?
How do you rationalize the human body in sports performance?

3) What’s your escape?

In this weeks episode of The Podcast I have the pleasure to sit down with Frank Barone to discuss the organization of the training process. After a run down of how he got up to Pittsburgh we get right into the process of building a team from scratch and some of the unique challenges associated with that. He then goes into the programming process and how he reverse engineers the game, while looking at similarities across different sports to help provide positive transfer to the sport. Frank shares with us some great insight on how he breaks down these movements, and how he looks at individual movements through a slightly different lens to help improve how we can structure our training weeks to better impact performance. We finish off discussing where we see our role change from the offseason to the in season, and where we both feel that performance coaches can do better to help the athletes and sport coaches. Frank puts out a lot of great content so make sure to give him a follow on instagram @coach_frankb.

“The more you focus on things in a positive manner, the better chance you have of getting to them.”

This My Thoughts Monday is brought to you by Vald Performance. Vald’s constant drive to help coaches find better information to drive more educated directions is second to none. Check out this weeks Metric Minute and make sure to go check out all their great products at: www.valdperformance.com

In this weeks My Thoughts Monday I reflect on the last book I read during this round of the 75 Hard Program, and that is Andy Frisella’s book on the program, 75 Hard. In his book he has a great Q and A section where he discusses different different ways people sabotage their ability to reach their goals. This has sparked a couple new thought processes for me when it comes to developing and progressing the programs for each individual athlete. This, HOPEFULLY, will increase “buy-in” for each athlete, thus improving the results of said training program.

“I was so science oriented that there had to be a reason for everything, but come to realize that kids wanted things to get them to buy in, to buy into those reasons I was doing certain things.”

What’s up everybody and welcome the 78th episode of Outside The Rack brought to you by Kinetic Performance the makers of Gymaware. In this show we are going to try to dive a little deeper into the minds of the top practitioners in the world of sport performance to learn a bit more about who they actually are and how they got to where they are at today. Today we are joined by Vanderbilt University’s Baseball Strength and Conditioning Coach, Chris Ham. Chris, thanks for being with us today.

Before we start, who is Chris Ham?
I’m a father, a husband, a dog lover, a wannabe grill master, former JUCO baseball player

1) Describe a learning situation that brought about an epiphany in your career?
The buy in that someone has for something, and the impact that that has going forward is what matters.

2) If you could ask one question and you know you would get the answer what would that be and why?
How am I going to be perceived as a dad?

3) What’s your escape?
Daily by being present with your breath, being where your feet are at, weekly getting my hair cut, monthly read something outside the field, yearly go to Asheville.

“You have to have patience to allow them (the athletes) to figure out what works best for them.”

“What are the things that can actually anchor me down in a time of complete uncertainty?”

“How are you going to be the best coach that you can be for your athletes? I don’t think that’s going to be on low sleep or being over worked because, like we said, our seasons are long.”

This weeks episode of The Podcast I had the opportunity to sit down and catch up with Daniel Guzman and chat about flexibility in our programming and communication. After a quick run down of how he got back to LA we dive right into the unique challenges around physical preparation going into this off season. With the pandemic there are unique challenges to the athletes in their preparation with the restrictions that people are living under, which in some places is eliminating “pick up” and that could be a primary stimuli in their off season. We then discuss how the pandemic has taught us how to communicate better and forced us to reflect on our practice, and find better ways to get input from our athletes. We then discuss some aspects of the “off season” that we feel may be misinterpreted including goal setting, keeping the primary focus the focus, and autonomy/learning for the athlete. We finish off discussing the impact this has had on coaching health, and how it has made both of us find our “totems” to ground ourselves to find our “shut off” points to pause from work.
