CVASPS The Podcast

“Let’s make sure that whatever we did through the day either helped us or didn’t help us, so that if it didn’t help us we now know we need to make changes to the training so that we can be best ready for what’s most important, and that is to go out and do our skill work with our team at practice.”This My Thoughts Monday is brought to you by Vald Performance, the team behind the NordBord, ForceDecks, the GroinBar and HumanTrak.

“Are we in too much of a hurry to get to the exercises that we think are best, and wasting the resources we could have used with a lower intensity exercise to build for that athlete in order for that athlete to start to gain the strength so they can use that exercise at a higher level.”This My Thoughts Monday is brought to you by Vald Performance, the team behind the NordBord, ForceDecks, the GroinBar and HumanTrak.

“The better that we get a clear picture of what success looks like for the individual, and for the organization, the easier it is to point from one wave point to the second wave point, the much more clear path and direct path you can get from point A to point B.”What’s up everybody and welcome the 6th episode of Outside The Rack brought to you by Kinetic Performance the makers of Gymaware.

After a quick intro Jake dives right into some of the best practices he has seen to actually make people faster. This includes him discussing the roles of motor control, which has become sexy of late, and affecting the force/velocity profile. This leads Jake down the rabbit hole of the role of the force/velocity profile, and how it can be impactful in the physical preparation of their athletes. We then discuss some guidelines for evaluating athletes in these areas and where he has seen errors come from trying to get numbers too early. Next, Jake shares with us some things that he has observed with working with staffs all over the world, and what has made some groups more successful than others. Jake then shares with us some advice on looking at force plate information, including what he feels may be a bit over rated. We finish off with a little self reflection and talking “if I knew then what I know know.” Make sure you give him a follow at @coolhandjakegs on twitter and instagram.

“If we can remove the can’t and put the can in to give them a focal point, and a light at the end of the tunnel to train for, I think we are going to see improvements, not just in return to play, but how they return to play.”This My Thoughts Monday is brought to you by Vald Performance, the team behind the NordBord, ForceDecks, the GroinBar and HumanTrak. With all their products providing evidence-based solutions to performance professionals so they can get the right information, for the right decision, at the right time. Make sure to go check out all their great products at: www.valdperformance.comA huge take home from this summers edition of The Seminar for me was the idea of talking about what the athlete can do, as opposed to what they can’t do that Sam Gardner referenced in how they program for their athletes. This has changed my outlook on our “retrun to play” programming from the outset of an injury. We can always find something the athlete CAN do, and something they CAN work on to get better. That doesn’t me that we should just throw something hard at them to “make them work”, but can be something that can be focused on a specific aspect of their training that they can improve upon to increase their abilities in other areas of performance.

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 Coordinator of Sports Performance Center & Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at Trinity University Daniel Martinez. Daniel, thanks for being with us.Before we start, who is Daniel Martinez? He’s a mixture of pop culture, research, books, and coaching1) Describe a learning situation that brought about an epiphany in your career Learning as a coach and being discipled in putting things together, being savage about that, has led to an improvement in a monitoring stand point. 2) If you could ask one questions and you know you would get the answer what would that be and why? How do you get teams and athletes to be vulnerable to embracing the challenge and growth that must occur to truly approve?3) What’s your escape?I mountain bike, but San Antonio doesn’t have mountains, so it’s more trail riding.We are hoping to provide the best possible content for strength coaches with each of our shows.

“Training athlete’s we can’t separate the skill from the physical.”“Biomechanical efficiency is the most important thing in any sports skill. How efficient is your movement? That’s the most important thing in any sports skill.”“It can’t be a KPI if that doesn’t effect their actual competitive exercise.”“Eventually, more and more strength work does not transfer. It just doesn’t transfer. We’re wasting time, and energy. These athlete’s have a finite amount of adaptation energy. So we can’t just keep blowing energy trying to get a bigger front squat, trying to get a bigger deadlift.” This episode of The Podcast is brought to you by Exxentric, the makers of the kBox and kPulley.

After a quick intro Zach shares with us the basics behind what his programming is, how it progresses, and how this lead him to write his book, “Movement Over Maxes”. He then shares with us how he looks at Dr. Bondarchuck’s classification of exercises, how this leads his decision making and progressions, and how he’s started to look for better ways to identify what actually matters in developing his pitchers vs his hitters. Next, Zach shares with us what he’s actually looking at, and how he tests, and retests his athletes. We finish off talking about the evolution of training with baseball players that he has seen in his tenure at TCU and his book Movement Over Maxes.
