CVASPS The Podcast

“Let’s work together more to get through this because we can do better.”“We’re trying to ask question for people that don’t know those questions exist at times, and then we are turning around and getting upset when people aren’t willing to listen to the answers to the questions that they didn’t even know existed.”This My Thoughts Monday is brought to you by Vald Performance.

In this weeks My Thoughts Monday I talk about how there are two ways people are addressing this, trying to look at information and do better when the athletes start back in the spring after another lay off, and those who are just providing unsolicited advice about what people need to be doing. Using this time to point fingers at people is really disappointing and just attacking coaches at our weakest point, and that is the anxiety many coaches have when it comes to their professional stability. We need to be better than thisENJOY THE CONTENT?

This has been a hot topic for quite a while in our small corner in the world of sport and exactly why I wanted Andrew Langford on The Podcast.

Check out this week’s Metric Minute and make sure to go check out all their great products at: www.valdperformance.com There is a common knee jerk reaction to position postings on social media that typically is something similar to “I can’t believe that they are still paying people so bad for these positions, it’s why I got out of the profession.” In this week’s My Thoughts Monday I talk about these openings, the evolution of a position, and how we may actually be moving forward. We are not where we all feel that should be, but if we take a step back and look, we may be in a better spot then we think. ENJOY THE CONTENT?

After a run down of how she got out to Eugene she shares with us the role of her athletic career impacted her as a coach, including how the lessons of “contact time” and “stimulus” were taught to her in a unique manner through her time as a gymnast and a pole vaulter. She then discussed the idea of movement quality and how “feeling good” when doing it is just as valuable, if not more so. This is so vital, not just in allowing the athlete to load better, but also in helping drive autonomy, ownership, and buy-in with training. This leads her into a lesson on cueing, and how allowing the players to use iPads and review reps with their teammates helped build new “sport related” cues so the players had a better understanding of what they were trying to do in the gym.

“If we are being entrusted for the physical preparation of the student athletes, or of the young people we get to work with, shouldn’t we allow the coaches, and shouldn’t we provide them the trust to develop the special preparation for their athletes?”This My Thoughts Monday is brought to you by Vald Performance. Vald’s constant drive to help coaches find better information to drive more educated directions is second to none. Check out this week’s Metric Minute and make sure to go check out all their great products at: www.valdperformance.com In our world of sport performance there have been multiple pendulum swings. From the Olympic lifts, to Husker Power, to functional training, the list goes on and on. One that has been most active of late is the importance of specificity. In this week’s My Thoughts Monday I share some of the reflecting I have been doing of late when it comes to programming, and why I think we may have gone too far down the “specific” rabbit hole, and why this may be one of the things limiting us as a profession by preventing us to develop a true “role” in sport.ENJOY THE CONTENT?

“I need them to perform on Saturday’s, and I can’t get them to perform on Saturday’s if I break them on Monday.”“You can’t just throw somebody into a situation without any prior training and then say, “well if you didn’t do it well you’re just not mentally tough.” No that just doesn’t work.”“Trying to grossly apply mental toughness to specific situations makes for broken athletes.”This episode of The Podcast is brought to you by Exxentric, the makers of the kBox and kPulley.

After quick run down of how he got into coaching we discuss what his role was in the military and how that has impacted his outlook as a coach, including what training for OCS (Officer Candidate School) is like and some of the mistakes people make when they look at that type of training. He then dives into the ideas of maximum capacity threshold that they experienced in the Marine vs the minimum effective dose he tries to implement with his athletes. He then dives down the “mental toughness” rabbit hole, and where he see’s people being confused with what they do in the military and how it’s in team sports.

Living up to the assumptions of what we “are” or how we are supposed to act may be what is holding us back from moving forward. Molly shares with us some of the issues that she sees with the lack of education and professional standards, which leads her to giving us an example and a possible solution to help us to continue to push our great field forward.
