CVASPS The Podcast

“While you increase their ability to perform you perform, you then will decrease their likelihood of injury because you've put them in situations where they are going to be stressed similarly to not just practice, but competition.”

There has been an uptick in the number of people discussing the role of the weight room in athletic development of late. This is awesome because it’s driving some really good conversation, but also some really gross click bait when it comes to people putting out some content. In this weeks My Thought’s Monday I share with you some examples of people who are doing a great job of displaying this and how we can use what they’re doing as a driver to how we can be better in our programming, progressions, and outcomes associated with each.

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.

“Athletes are ending their careers early because of nutrition.”

“Sense the beginning of time, in every medical writing, in history, in every system of healing, the number one herb were herbs for stress response, they were adaptogens.”

“More people will research their next refrigerator, their next house, their next purchase, their next care, more than they research their health.’

Jim LaValle joins us today to share how he looks to improve nutrition and health to improve performance. After a brief run down of his background Jim drives right into how nutritional issues are leading to a majority of the problems athletes have, including shortening their careers. He then shares with us some ways he is looking at blood with athletes in a different manner than “general population” to help figure out what is best to provide nutritionally or supplementally with athletes including a in depth break down of how cortisol affects athletes including some misconceptions of it. We then discuss the role of stress management and some pros and cons of modern methods used to measure stress. He then discusses adapatogens, and how many of them have been used for a very long time, because they work. Jim then discusses methods used to get these nutrients and adaptogens into the system, including the future of delivery systems for athletes and limitations to the ones that we have now. Jim then runs down the rabbit hole of how helping athletes nutrition has helped improve their health, improved performance, and taken better care of them when they retire so they feel better and live better lives. We finish off talking about the role of accountability with the athlete in this whole situation, and at the end of the day they’re the ones that have to make the decisions and fix the issues at the end of the day.

Josh Medler joins us to discuss the preparation program he utilizes with his football players at Wofford College.

A few weeks ago I was challenged to push myself past my limits with training for the first time in a long time. This really resparked my “love” for training, and got me thinking about why I got into this. This weeks My Thoughts Monday is a discussion about why I got into this, and why challenging ourselves in training from time to time may be what we all need to help keep that “spark” that got the fire started.

Today I get the pleasure of sitting down and discussing in season training in the National Hockey League with the San Jose Sharks Mike Potenza. After a quick rundown of how he got to the league and the Sharks we start diving right into the evolution of his in season training program. Mike has evolved it to a year long developmental model, and he shares how this program evolved and with what their focuses are and how he structures his training blocks. Next, Mike discusses how they evaluate the athletes, how often they evaluate them, and who gets access to the information to make sure the athletes are moving the the right direction. This leads him into how the warm up he uses with his guys is the backbone of all of their training where they check a lot of boxes to make sure the guys are best prepped and take care of. With all the travel in the western conference, Mike then discusses what’s involved in making sure the guys are good to go with all the travel and issues usually associated with it. Mike finishes off by sharing with us where the most important parts of nutrition and recovery he sees with todays athletes.
