GAINcast with Vern Gambetta

Over the past few months we've accumulated several small topics to discuss and haven't had the time to jump into them. Well, now's the time. On this week's episode we discuss various odds and ends related to current events and training such as whether track and field records should be reset, the sub 2 hour marathon attempt, what makes master coaches stand out, and balancing variation and risk in training. For links and more information about this topic, read the complete show notes at: http://www.hmmrmedia.com/2017/05/gaincast-episode-64-odds-and-ends/

Modern sports have a team of coaches behind each athlete. The support staff can add value to a team, but they can also detract from the team if not properly integrated. Physiologist Steve Ingham has served in a variety of senior national roles in the UK. Throughout a career of assisting world-class athletes he has learned how to build a performance team and how support coaches can best support athletes. On this week's episode we discuss some lessons Ingham has learned in this area. For links and more information about this topic, read the complete show notes at: http://www.hmmrmedia.com/2017/05/gaincast-episode-61-supporting-champions-with-steve-ingham/

With drafts for many professional sports taking place in the coming months for professional sports leagues in North America, it is a good time to take a look at how we evaluate players. Effectively evaluating a player is about more than measuring their performance, it is about learning about them from every angle and getting input from the entire coaching staff. On this week's episode we discuss best practices in player evaluations.

How far can we take the human body? Can we break two hours in the marathon? Or will Usain Bolt's records ever fall?
