CVASPS The Podcast

“I’m saying that I think that based upon where we’re at and what we are looking at here with these new rule changes we’re going to need to be even more so a facilitator when it comes to adapting what we do in order to make sure these kids: A) continue to adapt and improve to the training we are providing, and B) are healthy and able to survive now which really is looking like mid May till the end of March where basketball is the priority.”This My Thoughts Monday is brought to you by GymAware, the leading tool to measure your athlete’s weight room performance. Learn more about “The Rolls Royce” of bar velocity monitoring here: https://kinetic.com.au/gymaware.htmlIn today’s My Thoughts Monday I discuss how I see the new hour changes for summer time training will change the landscape of what we are doing as strength and conditioning coaches in The NCAA and where our roles can change.

“We talk about all these, don’t start to early in sport specific training, be multi dimensional in your training for sports before you specialize. Really, it’s not different in strength and conditioning. I don’t think any of us, when we first started, necessarily were looking at it from the stand point of being a one sport strength coach. I think we all went into it going int thinking we were going to be the strength coach for a university or a high school or whatever setting. The evolution of what’s occurred is kind of interesting and it’s really changed the dynamics of our field moving forward.”Today we are joined by the Carolina Panthers Strength Coach Joe Kenn. This is an episode I’ve been hoping to get recorded for a long time because of the huge impact Joe has had on my career. Joe talks us though where his love of the weight room originated, his time at Wake Forest as a player, working in Ft. Lauderdale at Pine Crest prep school, back to Wake as a part time strength coach, 8 and a half years at Boise State, Utah (where The Tier System was validated to him), ASU, Louisville, and The Panthers. After we finish that Coach Kenn shares with us the three things he feels coaches getting into the game need to consider. This talk is so full of gems for younger coaches to understand what many of the coaches that they look at as icons went through to get to where they’re hoping to get in this profession.

“Ya know, there were a lot of us who were the dumb guys who did that and thought we were untouchable and unbreakable and that we could grind 5 days like that. Ya know, and pull those legitimate 80-90 hour weeks without stopping. We’ve all done it, it’s cool, especially when you’re young and there’s that pride factor in it. But when you start to get old and frail and a little fat like some of us have having that escape and knowing that there needs to be a time and a place to get away and recharge is going to save you in the long run.”This My Thoughts Monday is brought to you by GymAware, the leading tool to measure your athlete’s weight room performance. Learn more about “The Rolls Royce” of bar velocity monitoring here: https://kinetic.com.au/gymaware.htmlIn this time of year, as we start to come to the “non countable” hours in college athletics, the topics of recharging and getting away come up quite often. In today’s My Thoughts Monday I talk about the necessity of that being something that we all need to focus more on, that mental escape to allow us to recharge. Share with us and others what you’re doing to “escape” to help spark ideas for other coaches to help improve our mental health of the profession. ENJOY THE CONTENT?

“It all comes back to stimulus adaptation, and it’s just finding that point with who ever you're working with where you can make a difference. What’s the level that they’re competing at, understanding that as deeply as you can, andn then just knowing what tools you have to make that a little bit harder a little bit easier, and just moving from there”Today we are joined by Tom Farrow to discuss training on multiple levels. Tom starts out breaking down the idea of “cultivating heroes” and how that fits into what they’re doing at Arete Performance. We then discuss some of the differences in training at the multiple levels he works with, and how the demands of competition (7’s vs Richmond) determines how he handles his athletes. Tom then breaks down the difference between the two games (15’s vs 7’s) and what they look at when developing and monitoring each type of athlete. This includes how they set up what they monitor and evaluate with their athlete’s and how they break down each team by individual vs position vs team. Tom then shares with us how he sets up their yearly training plans on each level. This leads straight into Tom breaking down the three factors he believes leads to injury and how he manages those three. We finish off talking about the education work that they’re doing at Arete and how that’s helped them drive education in England. ENJOY THE CONTENT?

“Do you have these secondary and tertiary plans set if you’re not in a specific situation where it can be successful, it can be safe, it’s what the game demands for that student athlete at that present moment. Are those measures being taken care of prior so that you’re not scrambling and losing your mind, or losing a session because you don’t have Plan B prepared?”This My Thoughts Monday is brought to you by GymAware, the leading tool to measure your athlete’s weight room performance. Learn more about “The Rolls Royce” of bar velocity monitoring here: https://kinetic.com.au/gymaware.htmlToday I share with you guys some discussions that we have had in our office about making sure we are prepared for curveballs being thrown and coming out on top. The three examples that I discuss are: Failure Safety/Weather ResourcesI give specific examples of how we are looking at how we are preparing ourselves incase we need to move to “Plan B”, and how we are hoping this can help move things forward in the same direction we were hoping to move with our Pefect/Dream Plans as “Plan A.”ENJOY THE CONTENT?

I had the distinct fortune to sit down and interview 2013 Presenter Henk Kraaijenhof for a second time. During our discussion Henk dives into working with the "middle" versus the extremes in a team setting, specialized strength and specialized exercises, the "90% rule", technique work, and monitoring the training effects of athletes. Thank you to our readers who contributed questions. This is a 100 minute interview jam packed with information. I hope you enjoy it! ENJOY THE CONTENT?

“There’s no modular homes when it comes to strength and conditioning. There’s just to many different interrelated parts that the only ones that we have true control of is what we know, and what we know we don’t know.”Today we are joined by EliteFTS.com's Dave Tate to discuss training and coaching. Dave starts out discussing how he got into using the dynamic effort method and where there are places that bands and chains can fit with lower level lifters. He then touches upon learning, and the role of finding the why’s in training. Finding a mentor is the next topic he discusses including the role of it, how to find one, and why it’s importance. This leads us directly into discussing living “as if.” Dave uses this quote to act “as if” you are what you want to be, but knowing that there was so much work that lead to people being at the pinnacle of any profession.

“Just because we get accreditation or licensure or something like that passes and it has to be done in order for you to be a collegiate strength coach, well that doesn’t mean it will solve those problems, but I guarantee by sharing our information on how we run things, by looking at how we make due with limited recourses or what we do when we have an abundance of recourses to grow our program. That’s going to make this field go forward a lot better and a lot quicker with a lot more importance than if we were just to wait on i licensure or accreditation or wait for someone else to do it.”This My Thoughts Monday is brought to you by GymAware, the leading tool to measure your athlete’s weight room performance.

The idea that he discusses is how we should “push the pace.” This is a leading from the front idea when it comes to research and collaborations within your campus, and sharing more information through blogs, video’s, and podcasts. He then brings it full circle to discuss how this idea can help drive the profession forward and increase the professional view of outsiders about our profession. ENJOY THE CONTENT?

I had the opportunity to sit down and talk with 2013 Seminar Presenter Henk Kraaijenhof on the preparation of athletes. Our 90 minute discussion covered topics ranging from team vs. individual training situations, adapting programming both based on sporting activity and athlete's ability, the mental aspect of training, and the technology he utilizes and how he utilizes it.

“When you talk about Athlete’s For Life you want to have consistency, your’e buying into the people that were providing you that shoulder to lean on and that advice for you to get better while you were here. If it basically recycled every year where was that relationship? How do yo build a relationship in a couple weeks? You don’t.” Today we are joined by Drexel University’s Mike Rankin discussing relationship building, not just with your athletes but how they’re continuing those relationships when their athlete’s careers end. Mike has developed a program that they call Athlete’s For Life. What this is is a web platform that is a virtual trainer for his former student athletes.
