The Robbie Bourke Podcast Episode 228: Cal Dietz and Chris Korfist on RPR, injury, foot training, and periodization
This episodes sees the return of Chris Korfist and Cal Dietz.
The guys were previously on the episode 215 along with JL Holdsworth to discuss RPR.
Unlike most facilities who are staffed by young coaches who rely on their recent playing career and “cool” factor, Slow Guy Speed School is staffed by Chris Korfist, a “sprint guru” with an international following.
With over 55 all-state sprinters and countless other high school all-state athletes, and over 20 years experience, he knows what is appropriate for the athlete in the room and not so concerned about what the pros are doing or someone else journey to where they got.
In fact, the methods have been so effective, Chris has consulted NFL teams, Big 10 Universities, Olympic team and U.S. Special Forces.
Cal Dietz has been an Olympic Sport Strength and Conditioning coach for numerous sports at the University of Minnesota since 2000. During his tenure, Dietz has trained athletes that have achieved 400+ All-American honors, Teams that have won 33 Big Ten/WCHA championships teams and 10 NCAA Team Champions. He has consulted with Olympic and World Champions in various sports and professional athletes in the NHL, NFL, NBA, MLB, MMA and Professional Boxing.
On this episode guys and I discuss:
- I ask the guys what kind of response they have gotten from individuals who have taken and implemented RPR into their training system
- Where does RPR fit into the guys program design
- I ask the guys have they any data on the efficacy of RPR and performance measures
- Why non contact injuries are prevalent in many sports
- We discuss foot training
- Cal shares with us some thoughts on individualizing periodization schemes
- We discuss false assumptions and misconceptions about Triphasic training
This was an outstanding episode and I hope you all enjoy it as much as we did!
Stay Strong,
RB
