CVASPS The Podcast

“Just be on time, professionals aren’t late.”

“The things that make a team sport athlete great at their competitive event, are not what make a track athlete great at their competitive event.”

What’s up everybody and welcome the 22nd 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 Strength and Conditioning Coach for EHC Eisbaeren Berlin, Jake Jensen. Jake, thanks for being with us.

Before we start, who is Jake Jensen?

I’m a graduate of CVASPS, living in Germany with wife and two kids, with a third on the way in January.

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

Working at BYU, I showed up “late” to a staff meeting, but how he handled the standard taught me what it a standard actually is and how to be a professional.

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

I’d ask a great coach, “In your experience, do you feel like you can actually make an athlete in training?”

3) What’s your escape?

If you ask my wife she’ll say I have too many. I grew up in the mountains, I like to hunt and fish, camping and hiking. I also like to work on engines, I’m rebuilding motorcycles now.


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.

Today we are joined by Jeremy Golden to discuss the lessons coaches can learn from multiple stops and “team rebuilds”. After a quick run down of how he got to Charlottesville Jeremy shares with us his first experience with rebuilding a program. This included having a team that was not even allowed to train in the weight room, and athletes who didn’t know what a dumbbell was. His next rebuild required a strategy of starting with just part the team and slowly bringing more and more of the student athletes into the weight room. He then shares with us how these prior stops have had positive impact on his present position, and how it’s impacting him and how he’s handling the athletes through the grind of the college basketball season.

Being in attendance at Functional Strength Coach 1.

Why do you do what you do?

3) What’s your escape?

I don’t think I do that very well, but for me it’s usually reading a book, but that’s mostly around our profession. Otherwise listening to music or watching a movie.

This week we are joined by William Wayland to discuss the training of pro golfers. After a quick run down how he got involved with the European Tour he shares with us what his role consists of, and some of the limitations to it. Next, he dives into how they select the what’s, why’s, and how’s of how they set the programs on the tour. This traffic light style system has been super effective for them to continue to develop the players. He the shares with us what he’s seeing that has the largest impact on improving club head speed and ball speed, including where they may actually see the limitations in those two. We finish off discussing some of the cultural shift occurring in golf when it comes to training golfers and how eduction has played a massive role in that.
