GAINcast with Vern Gambetta

Knowing about speed is one thing, but teaching it is something else. This is where the art of coaching comes into play. On this week's episode Vern walks us through what he would do on the first day of speed training with a new group of athletes. It's a great look into the mind of a coach to see how they put together their session and why. For links and more information about this topic, read the complete show notes at: http://www.hmmrmedia.com/2016/11/gaincast-episode-39-teaching-speed/

Focusing on the two hours a day an athlete trains misses out on the vast majority of what is going on in an athletes life. The other 22 hours a day in many cases are more important.
