CVASPS The Podcast

“If winning is what is the goal then your metrics need to show you’re improving that likelihood.”

“If the experience of the young people is the primary objective, we need to provide them with a positive experience, and if the things that we maybe have been taking away, because we feel like they don’t impact performance, actually drive the positive experience, then maybe those things should go back in.”

“Are we following the mission of what the department has, or are we following the mission of what we think it should be?”

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

Conversations are consistently had where strength coaches talk with each other about how “sport coaches don’t get it” or “admin has no idea” when it comes to what we do and why we do things. In this weeks My Thoughts Monday I try to put the shoe on the other foot and talk about how possibly we may be going at things incorrectly because we are not following the mission statement of the department.

“People like to confuse activity for achievement.”

What’s up everybody and welcome the 62nd 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 the Director of Football Performance at Towson University, Dr. Justin Lima. Doc, thanks for being with us today.

Before we start, who is Dr. Justin Lima?

A husband, a father, a coach, and a learner. 

1) Describe a learning situation that brought about an epiphany in your career

Saying “No” so I can say “Yes” to other stuff.

2) If you could ask one question and you know you would get the answer what would that be and why?  

How can we get through to each kid, so that they can do what they need to get it done?

3) What’s your escape?

I’ve got three of them: Muay Tai Kickboxing, Early Saturday Morning Coffee by myself, and float tanks.

In this weeks episode of The Podcast, I get to talk about the state of the strength and conditioning world with Matt Gildersleeve. After a brief run down of how he got up to Buffalo Sleeve starts discussing the role of perspective, and how taking a walk in a different direction opened his eyes to looking at things a bit differently. This leads us into a discussion of biases, including where they come from and how they can be both good and bad. After he gets me on a good rant we then get into the reductionist lens that coaches use, and how this could be a huge limiting factor to our profession moving forward. This includes a discussion about programming and having someone audit your work who has a different background and the role of hiring to bring a different point of view to help people be better. This talk is full of great learning situations and times that have impacted both of us to help us become the coaches we are today, some positive, some negative, but all led to progress.

We are hoping to provide the best possible content for strength coaches with each of our shows. If feel this could provide value for anyone else in the strength and conditioning field please feel free to share

“When we seek to understand we can then connect with, and create an environment that they want to be a part of because it matters to them.”

“We’re trying to ask question for people that don’t know those questions exist at times, and then we are turning around and getting upset when people aren’t willing to listen to the answers to the questions that they didn’t even know existed.”

How can you make the weight room an environment that your athlete’s want to be part of? This is a question that coaches have been digging to find better answers to for as long as there have been weight rooms. In this weeks My Thoughts Monday, Molly Binetti shares with us how autonomy can help contribute to, not just that, but also how well your athlete’s learn as well. Not only does Molly break down the why’s but she provides specific examples to HOW she does this with her athletes at USC, and where she’s seen success with this.

“It’s easy to say that on Instagram but are you actually delivering it?”

What’s up everybody and welcome the 61st 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 the Head of S&C at Surrey County Cricket Club in the UK Darren Venness. Daz, thanks for being with us today.

Before we start, who is Daz Venness?

Ripe old age of 50, been around sense the 70’s, lifting sense the 80’s, coaching sense the 90’s happily married father of two girls.

1) Describe a learning situation that brought about an epiphany in your career

First one came pre cricket working the door as a bouncer, understanding communication to derail bad situations. In cricket, the big one was 10 years ago when during an appraisal there were his data points were countered by coaches and GM’s opinion.

2) If you could ask one question and you know you would get the answer what would that be and why?  

Is there anything that I can do to guarantee my girls have the best start in life and are as happy as I am at 50? 

3) What’s your escape?

There is only one honest escape for me, the gym.
