“Different sports require different capacities, mentally and physically.”“If you need to reset and you’re seeking that more then once a month you need to change your environment.” What’s up everybody and welcome the 24th episode of Outside The Rack brought to you by Kinetic Performance the makers of Gymaware. In this show we are going to try to dive a little deeper into the minds of the top practitioners in the world of sport performance to learn a bit more about who they actually are and how they got to where they are at today. Today we are joined by the High Performance Director with the Chicago Red Stars Megan Young. Megan, thanks for being with us.Before we start, who is Megan Young?Megan Young is a connector. 1) Describe a learning situation that brought about an epiphany in your careerDifferent growth points of who am I along the way, starting with football and basketball, but moving more towards soccer that taught her outward presentation doesn’t mean as much as communication. Understanding who she was as a person and knowing that in and out, not being dependent of where she’s working and what she’s doing professionally. 2) If you could ask one question and you know you would get the answer what would that be and why? It would relate to partial physics because we are so close to understanding neutrinos and their effect on our actual aura.3) What’s your escape?I have my “corner” where I start my day, but going out to Hawaii and unplugging.

Ryan starts out diving right into some of the issues and confusion around the views on, not just the sport, but some of the common training models he sees within Rugby. This leads him right into his model, where these ideas came from, and why there needs to be a distinct difference between training American Football and Rugby athletes. He then dives into how he sets up his programming along side the coaching staff, including how these conversations drive KPI’s that they use to make sure that the training is providing the results that the coaches and athletes are actually looking to achieve. He then discusses the role of the “fundamentals” of sprinting and cutting, and how important technique work is, even with athletes at the highest level. This includes a unique way that they plan on implementing a part whole approach to practice warm ups with a team he gets to work with.

After a quick run down of how he got up to Chicago he gets right into thee motivation behind why this has become such a passion of his. He then shares with us what some of the resources that helped him get the ball rolling and how they built their “template” to help their athletes progress as best as possible. He then shares with us some of the evaluations he’s utilizing and where the “check points” are for each block for the athletes, and their impact on progressing the athlete. Ryan dives deep into not just exercise selection, but also the volume and intensity’s of how he programs in these phases, along with “goals” for the athlete to “hit” in those movements. This is a great 15000 foot view of the program that they have built at DePaul with a ton of take-a-ways and ways to better help set up your own protocols.

I’d ask a great coach, “In your experience, do you feel like you can actually make an athlete in training?”3) What’s your escape?If you ask my wife she’ll say I have too many. I grew up in the mountains, I like to hunt and fish, camping and hiking. I also like to work on engines, I’m rebuilding motorcycles now.

After a quick run down of how he got to Charlottesville Jeremy shares with us his first experience with rebuilding a program. This included having a team that was not even allowed to train in the weight room, and athletes who didn’t know what a dumbbell was. His next rebuild required a strategy of starting with just part the team and slowly bringing more and more of the student athletes into the weight room. He then shares with us how these prior stops have had positive impact on his present position, and how it’s impacting him and how he’s handling the athletes through the grind of the college basketball season.We are hoping to provide the best possible content for strength coaches with each of our shows.
