CVASPS The Podcast

“How do we really relate to these athlete’s if we’re not trying to put ourselves in their shoes.”

“What is the point of using a term when there’s 30 different interpretations of the term?”

Today I have the absolute pleaser of sitting down and discussing training and programming principles with Jake Tuura. After a quick run down of how he got to YSU, Jake dives right into how a meeting with his soccer coach has really changed his view on training and driven him to some of the unique methods he implements. He then shares with us how these questions that coaches have asked him have led to some of the alterations he has made to his training programming. He then shares with us where the idea of using isometrics came from, and what he’s seen with improving biological outputs with his athletes. He then discusses where he sees the role of intensity of training, and some reasoning he sees to why low level stimulus leads to great adaptations with his athletes. We finish off discussing the role of training and the mental aspect of performance. Make sure to give him a follow at @jaketuura on IG and http://jackedathlete.com.

“If that personal band is going to allow me to better myself, and I’m using them to do so, then I don’t know if I feel that that’s the right way to do it.”

I’m using this week’s My Thoughts Monday to answer a question that I’ve been asked by multiple people who I hold in very high regard in relation to why I use myself as the video subject for our videos we are putting out to share what we do in training here, and not the athletes. This is just my personal opinion, and not an agenda I’m trying to push, but I do feel that these are things we need to think about as the landscape of college sports is changing.

“Everybody takes coaching differently.”

What’s up everybody and welcome the 10th episode of Outside The Rack brought to you by Kinetic Performance the makers of Gymaware.

Before we start, who is Cam Davidson?

I’m a coach, and I wanted to continue to say that until 2015 when I had my daughter, so now I’m a father and it gives you a new perspective.

Using single leg exercises as his primary lifts.

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

Seeing his brother coached like he was, and his brother take it completely differently.
Implementing single leg training as a primary movement.

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

What do you need?

3) What’s your escape?

Golfing is big one for me, honestly my escape is training every day, and lastly going to see my girls at home.

Today I get to sit down and discuss ways of keeping our athletes healthy and fueling strategies with Dr. Marc Bubbs. After a quick intro Dr. Bubbs shares with us what his primary objectives are when working with the Canadian Basketball team. He then shares with us the pillars of his nutrition program including the role and impact of processed foods, meal timing, and different ways we can work with our athletes so they can make better fueling decisions. Next, we discuss the theory of social jet lag and how that impacts their scheduling and some considerations we should have because of this theory.

This week’s My Thoughts Monday is based off a conversation with my director and a presentation we had at July’s edition of The Seminar. Although we need to look for greater ways to do things, and better questions that we need to ask so we can find better solutions to problems/issues we see/have in our work, there are a lot of things that are right in front of us that we need to address. We like to run to big ticket items and make massive additions to what we are doing without really addressing what is right in front of us. We like to talk about “low hanging fruit” but when there are situations that we need to address we tend to jump right past them and try to go way to the top of the tree.

“You’re value has nothing attached to the badge that you wear on your shirt, but it’s how you are and what you do as a person that matters the most.”

What’s up everybody and welcome the 9th 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 Sportland Training and Fitness’s Sam Portland. Sam, thanks for being with us.

Before we start, who is Sam Portland?

He’s not really an academic, he’s a doer who grew up building things and playing sports.

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

Stepping away from one position and being let go from a second made him look deep into how he wanted to be as a coach and a person.

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

“I’d be asking the question of myself, is Sam Portland putting the right things in place to become the man he wants to be?"

3) What’s your escape?

I like being out in nature to escape the noise, and competing because all you can do then is react.
