CVASPS The Podcast

“I think most of what we do in training is supplements, it’s supplementation.”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.htmlDevan McConnell joins us for another My Thoughts Monday to discuss supplementation. Devan breaks this down as not just the nutritional aspect but uses supplementation as a metaphor to what training actually is. He brings it full circle to where training fits and how it needs to connect with your “culture” and what your “why” is with the programming of your athletes and how they fit together. Devan shares with us how he uses anonymous questionnaires to help drive discussions on the past year leading to the athlete’s having more autonomy to push the program forward. ENJOY THE CONTENT?

“What these variables are telling you is how you’re getting to the end product of that jump height essentially, and I think that’s where were we will find with the study, across different positions of rugby, especially sense it carters for a lot of different physical characteristics, that you’ll see how that will change from athlete to athlete.” Today we are joined by Ealing Trailfinders’ Sam Portland discussing his research on how playing surfaces impact fatigue in his rugby players. After a quick intro, Sam starts right in sharing with us the what’s and why’s he’s looking at with his research. Sam breaks down why he’s looking at jumps on a force plate, what metrics they’re examining, and why he has so much interest in looking at if/what effects there are on fatigue based on playing surface. He then breaks down how the data is being collected and why he set it up in this manner. We then shift gears and start talking about training and programming. Sam breaks down how he’s seen the idea of “less is more” being very successful with some specific athletes going as in-depth as to share us a breakdown of a “14 day roll over” he had great success with. We also discuss some successful methods and progressions he has implemented to improve “game speed” with his athletes.

“There’s been a lot of positives that have come not just for individual coaches, but for coaches in the profession as a whole because of our connections to specific sport coaches.”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.htmlFor this weeks My Thoughts Monday I play devils advocate in the discussion as to where S and C coaches should report and the role in sport coaches in our profession. I touch upon: 1) Increases in our ability to individualize working with less teams 2) Increased staff 3) Increased compensation 4) Increased involvement within the team This is all just a devils advocate look at the idea of us completely separating ourselves from sport coaches. There are many things that have had a positive impact on the profession that may go away, or return to the "way it was" not so long ago. ENJOY THE CONTENT?

“the engagement with our strength and conditioning coaches from high school through professional is growing right now, it’s the best I’ve seen it in my seven years here at the NSCA. It’s come from a commitment that the NSCA said ‘yeah we realize that we need to do better for the strength and conditioning coaches and we are going to do that.’” Today I am joined by the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach and Coaching Education Manager NSCA Head Quarters, Scott Caulfield to discuss projects that are being put together to help better educate our coaches. Scott starts out sharing with us the background to their latest offering, Foundations of Coaching Lifts Course, which is about to go live. This course fills a major void that many have said about the CSCS exam, and that is the hands on coaching evaluation. We then start discussing many the challenges of building courses and events, and the reasoning behind the directions they are moving. The amount of work that goes into these courses and events is staggering, and something the work and effort involved is something people need to understand. Scott finishes off by touching upon the different pro sports groups they’re involved with and what similarities they see across the board, and how engagement across all levels of coaching has moved to the front seat of what he’s trying to do for the profession.ENJOY THE CONTENT?

“It’s a fact that every new exercise, every amount of frequency, every amount of intensity, every amount of volume, has a limited ability to elicit adaptation within the athlete. Every time we use it we have begun on the path to reaching a point of zero return, or diminishing return.”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.htmlFor this weeks My Thoughts Monday brings Keir Wenham-Flatt, gives us the five most imprortant reasons why to implement the minimal amount of stress necessary to your athlete’s in their training. These five are: 1) Prioritizing the stuff that matters 2) Long term adaptation in the program 3) Maximizing potential upside vs minimizing potential downside 4) “Wiggle Room” 5) Intensity Mr. Rugby Strength Coaches dives down each of these rabbit holes. He shares where he sees each of these fitting in and how, when looking at these, coaches can be more successful in the development of their athletes.ENJOY THE CONTENT?

“Exposing an ACL ligament to estradiol in a petri dish type thing resulted in less collagen synthesis and less, what they call fibroblast proliferation. So it’s basically, both things are going to correlate to less tensile strength.”In this week’s edition of The Podcast I get to sit down and discuss Dr. Steph Allen and discuss ACL injuries in female athletes. After a brief introduction Dr. Allen shares with us the research she has been looking into. These two areas are the neuromuscular training (brain-muscle connection) and hormonal contributions to the risk of injury. This conversation was prompted by a discussion with her colleague about what we have seen with our student athlete’s here. This revolved around twins who had multiple injuries at the same time of the year, and many other female student athlete’s who were injured who’s cycle where at similar parts of their cycle when they were injured. This leads us down a rabbit hole of her discussing literature that she has been diving into that discusses the relationship between specific hormone quantities leading to ligament issues, and what we have seen here with our student athletes. Both of us really hope that this leads coaches to have more in-depth conversations with their athlete’s about their cycles and research into when these injuries occur. As the saying goes, where there’s smoke there’s fire, and there seems to be quite a bit of smoke in this situation. Dr. Allen is putting out awesome content as to what they’re doing at Boston Physical Therapy and Wellness on instagram at @stpehallen.dpt. Make sure to give her a follow!ENJOY THE CONTENT?

“We play to win but few receive a trophy. Take a look at your seniors, they are living trophies. Coaching is about winning but it is also about growing people. Be committed to the person that wears the jersey. Serving them through mentorship is the greatest reward of all." Matt Johnson via @StrengthCoachMJ on TwitterThis 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.htmlThis weeks My Thoughts Monday I discuss the collateral damage that comes with Championship Weekend and The NCAA Tournament, and that is players playing their last game. This is something that is a real world challenge for us as coaches, and the time where our student athlete’s may need us the most. We, as coaches, need to keep in mind what Matt said there to help us as a reminder as to what’s really important. ENJOY THE CONTENT?

“If communication was easy, then why are do so many misunderstandings occur?”In this weeks edition of the podcast I get to sit down with 2017 Seminar presenter Brett Bartholomew and discuss the tug of war going on in the field when it comes to the “Art vs Science” debate. After a brief catch up Brett shares with us his latest project, Bought In. After we get through where the course came from and how it connects to the book we talk about how this course can be a huge positive for coaches. This leads us right into the discussion of art vs science. Brett, as only he can do, breaks down better ways we can communicate and reasons why with not just scientific backing, but in great anecdotal examples that he has personally seen in coaching. This is why I am sure that this course is going to be an absolute home run.

“What I am trying to do is get theses extra workout to have a little more ump, to have a little more pop. For them to be excited to do more. Because again, like Mike said, if all we are doing is what we are being asked to do we are doing the same as everybody else.”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.htmlThis weeks My Thoughts Monday I discuss what is expected of our basketball student athletes, and how we handle “extra” work with them. I share with you the strategies that we have utilized to help improve their participation in extra workout, and how these have lead to not just improvement with the extra workouts but also with the primary work that we have prescribed for them. Diving in with them and grinding it out next to them has helped them enjoy the work and want to be involved in it more in all areas. I hope this helps you guys out as well. ENJOY THE CONTENT?
