Nick Winkelman on the Language of Coaching


Listen Later

Have you ever fallen TOTALLY FLAT when coaching or cuing a client?

You’re pulling everything out of your playbook, and for whatever reason, it’s just NOT working?

If so, welcome to the club!

I know this has happened to me in the past, and it has most definitely happened to today’s guest Nick Winkelman.

At the time, Nick was working with some of the most elite athletes on the planet at EXOS as the head coach of their NFL Combine Prep program.

And when he determined he wasn’t truly connecting and making an impact on his athletes performance, that’s when he realized he needed to change.

In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about the Language of Coaching – which just so happens to also be the title of Nick’s new book on this very topic.

 

We don’t ALWAYS need to provide a cue – it’s only when we feel it’s necessary. – Nick Winkelman

 

This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:
  • Nick’s background and jumping-off point in the industry.
  • How he originally got interested in coaching/cuing, and them moment he realized he needed to get better.

  • The difference between interpersonal communication and communicating movement

      Build Savage, Athletic Beasts with Exerfly!

      This week’s episode of the Physical Preparation Podcast is brought to you by Exerfly.

      Flywheel training is a method of strength training where your athletes generate resistance by using the inertia of a flywheel instead of traditional gravity-based resistance training

      By accelerating and then decelerating a disk, your athletes generate resistance in both the concentric and eccentric portions of the lift, WITHOUT the need for ridiculously heavy weights.

      Standard free weight training is great for the early preparatory phases, but as athletes develop there’s more to it than just getting stronger at all costs.

      At some point, you need to prepare them for the massive eccentric forces they’ll experience on the field, court or pitch – and with Exerfly’s motorized technology, you can increase the eccentric overload of the lift anywhere from 1-80%!

      Exerfly is used by numerous teams in the NFL, NBA, over 50% of the English Premiere League, and numerous Olympic development programs.

      Now as a small business owner you may immediately assume that an Exerfly is out of your budget, because we all know that every penny counts.

      But Exerfly has you covered here as well – they offer 36-month, interest free-financing, so you can get started ASAP with your training and pay as you go.

      And when you factor in a 30-day money back guarantee, 2- year warranty AND free shipping, the Exerfly really is a solid investment.
