  • Velocity Based Training For Athletes

    Velocity-based training is a modern method used to build strength and power. It uses advanced technology that tracks the speed of each exercise, providing athletes with feedback on their performance. This helps them improve their motivation, optimize their skills, and gain an advantage over competitors.
    Velocity-based training (VBT) has been rapidly gaining popularity in recent years. This cutting-edge method of fitness is a highly versatile and effective approach to strength training, power development, and performance enhancement. We will take an extensive look at the benefits that VBT can offer you, along with practical tips for getting started with this training method - making it accessible to anyone looking to push their fitness goals to new heights.
    For aspiring athletes and coaches alike, velocity-based training may be the way to go. It can help both on and off the field. Be sure to invest in top-quality equipment, carefully research the best brands, and work with a certified coach to get the absolute most out of your training. Happy lifting!

  • What a Coach Needs To Know
    A big welcome to Casey Zavaleta!

    Today we discussed where new coaches should start when it comes to improving their knowledge base technically and ability to successfully work and interact with their clients.

    We have found over the years that coaches tend to skip the basics in training and haven't taken the time to develop their "soft skills" such as communication and leadership/motivation tactics.

    You'll learn about the DTS certification and what Casey has learned through working with trainers all over the world in person and remotely. We also touch on different approaches to amassing more information and skills as a new coach while building a solid structure for your future career.
