During the event was a great round table Q and A, and one question really stuck with me. As coaches, we really like our if P then Q situations and having all our progressions and regressions set. Understanding the idea of minimal effective dose and giving the athlete what they need, not what they can handle, is determined by how prepared the athlete is, how ready the athlete is, and how well you have prepared the athlete. I give my take on this, where I see this confusion coming from and how we can do better with understanding where these “alterations” can come from.

I feel this is something that we, as strength coaches, need to take a look at as we try to progress the profession forward.

“Return to sport should not be seen as this one day, it’s more of a continuum, a sliding scale.”“If we get them back to where they were preinjury, we are just putting them back into a state in which they were able to get injured”“There’s always a way to get them in the weight room earlier.”This episode of The Podcast is brought to you by Exxentric, the makers of the kBox and kPulley.

The “Grind” as so many like to call it can be a good thing, the idea of wanting to work more and put in the effort can be a good thing, BUT if we just blindly work, and keep going and going and “GRINDING” are we actually pushing people in a proper direction and moving them forward, or are we just “GRINDING” their knees. Today I share my thoughts on this and where I feel like we can help them “GRIND” smarter, while still doing the work they want to.

The discussion starts out with Eric sharing with us some of methods that they have used to help build the culture that the new staff is hoping to instill within the team, including some forms of monitoring they’re using. This leads us to discussing how these factors are affecting what they’re doing with the guys in the second half of the season in order to help them be ready for a playoff push. Eric then shares with us the organizational set up that teams in the NHL have, and how that impacts the prescription of training throughout the year, along with how athletes at different levels (juniors, college, AHL, NHL) need to be handled differently not just because of age, but also what facilities they have access too. Eric then dives down the rabbit hole of how he has built KPI’s based on measurements that he has seen, and what correlated with athletes who have high rankings on specific game statistics that tend to show success at a specific position.
