GAINcast with Vern Gambetta

As with anything, variation can help with the development of speed. Sprinted with varied amounts of resistance and assistance can help develop specific strength, power, and technique. On this week's episode of the GAINcast we explain and evaluate the various methods for resisted and assisted sprinting, and discuss how to implmement them in training.

In his new book, Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance, Alex Hutchinson tries to synthesize to wave of recent research on how the mind and body control human performance. In the end, he writes, the competing theories all come down to effort. Effort is what matters. On this week's episode we discuss his book, how effort can be trained, and great examples of some of these theories in practice.

Movement is the foundational feature of sport. If you can't move, you can't play. Heck, it's the foundational feature of life. Looking back at history, if you couldn't move, you wouldn't eat. On this episode of the GAINcast we talk about the basic principles of good movement, building better foundational movements, and helping athletes connect them through training progressions.

Learning is a journey akin to a mystery; you must follow your curiosity and see what it uncovers. Therefore it is impossible to tell you how to learn, but it is possible to share some best practices on learning. On this episode of the GAINcast, we share some our journeys in learning, what can make the learning process better and, as always, a few book reviews.

Much of what is called speed training has the opposite effect of what we want. Rather than training speed in, things like wind sprints simply train speed out. You have to express speed in a climate of fatigue, but you don't develop it in a climate of fatigue. On this episode of the GAINcast, Vern discusses his approach to training speed for team sports, balancing different types of speed training, and examples of how micro doses of speed work can work wonders.

The Burke Mountain Academy was America's first ski academy. What is unique about it is not how progressive it was, but how that progressive mindset has stood the test of time. After nearly 50 years it continues to refine its ability to develop Olympic skiers an world-class individuals. On this week's GAINcast co-founder Finn Gundersen joins us to discussion the beginnings and growth of the academy, as well as his current work in coaches education in soccer and other sports. For more information on this topic, read the complete show notes at: http://www.hmmrmedia.com/2018/04/gaincast-114-building-an-academy-with-finn-gundersen/
