HMMR Podcast

We are less than a week from the start of the Olympics. But rather than talking about the athletes, the main story continues to be doping. More specifically, the topic is the failure of the current anti-doping systems. On this week's podcast we bring on guest Pierre-Jean Vazel. As both a journalist and elite sprinting coach, Vazel has a unique perspective on the topic. We discuss how we got into this current mess, issues with the current system, and what hope we have for moving past these mistakes. For more on this topic, check out our complete show notes at: http://www.hmmrmedia.com/2016/08/hmmr-podcast-episode-61-anti-doping-with-pierre-jean-vazel/

In an era when coaches are searching out more and more objective data to evaluate training, master coach Dan Pfaff has been using more and more subjective data to assist him. Subjectivity has been given a bad reputation lately, but it offers many advantages to coaches: it is cheap, it is easy to implement, it saves time, and can often times be more accurate. On this episode of the podcast Pfaff joins us to discuss the role subjective feedback plays in his training. Plus, for track fans, we discuss some of the failure of the Diamond League's new rules for field event athletes. For more on this topic, check out our complete show notes at: http://www.hmmrmedia.com/2016/07/hmmr-podcast-episode-59-subjective-feedback-with-dan-pfaff/

Every training sessions starts with a warm up. We often focus our attention on the next parts of training, but hidden in the warm up are some of the most important aspects of training. It is a chance to set the tone of the session. It is a chance to do a substantial amount of work. It is a chance to develop robust athletes. It is a chance to assess your athletes. And so much more, including a chance to warm up. On this week's podcast we talk about all things warm up. For more on this topic, check out our complete show notes at: http://www.hmmrmedia.com/2016/07/hmmr-podcast-episode-58-warming-up/
