Episode 3 - Methods (part 1 of 3)
Methods In episode 3, we dig deep into the methods we use with our athletes.
Let me tell you we went DEEP in this episode! We are joined by one of our athletes, Taylor Norfleet, and the dialog we had was nothing short of amazing!
The goal for this podcast was 30 minutes but ended up hitting 90 minutes without even being close to slowing down! So, we are going to split this podcast into 3 episodes but will release them over the next week to make it easier to digest!
We continued to build off of the quote from the last episode:
“As to methods, there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble.” - Emerson
Principles are the fundamental set of philosophies, propositions, assumptions, laws, and rules concerning a topic, problem, or circumstances. The principles can teach you why something works the way it does.
Methods, on the other hand, are merely devices to apply those principles in a particular circumstance. While principles are immutable, Emerson reminds us that there can be many methods to interpret and apply those principles.
Topics we cover in episode 3 are:
*Defining periodization - How we use agile periodization to structure training.
*Training program characteristics - Overload, specificity, variation, specificity.
*Physical qualities - The Dynamax 10 physical qualities & how we use them.
*Training variables that we modulate to individualize a person’s program.
*Using Lean 6 Sigma & emergency medical triage concepts to deliver training.
*How we use data to validate what everything that we do.
*Where linear periodization, traditional training templates, & engineering concepts work and where they fall short.
*Balancing a qualitative edge vs quantifiable gains. The time and place for both.
*Setting expectations between athletes & coaches. aka Goals vs priorities.
*Knowing the difference between training & testing.
*Pursuing peak performance is NOT healthy.
Episode 4 and 5 are jam-packed too! Look for them later this week!
