We are joined this week by Dr. Christine Na to talk weight lifting and returning from injury. After a quick intro we get into how, like many coaches, an injury that she experienced impacted her education path. Having herself be a test subject was a great learning experience that truly drove her to passion of passing this on. This complete reevaluation of how she was moving, and deeper dive into how to get her issues “corrected” so she could continue to progress as a weight lifter. She gives us a brief overview of what she looks for when she evaluates athletes, and how individuality in how we move is so vital.

Episode 542: My Thoughts Monday #182- Jay DeMayo- How The Past Year Is Impacting Our Programming Apr 12, 2021

Show notes

Thirteen months ago we all go shut down as the pandemic stopped the world. We then ran to zoom for multiple learning experiences to help us all grow and do better for our athlete’s as we started to return back to sport. Everyone was petrified about what could happen to the athletes when they came back in this detrained state. In this weeks My Thoughts Monday I reflect a bit on how those thoughts impacted our training throughout the year, and how it needs to have an impact on what we are doing going forward because this is our first off season in two years.

“How will I be remembered by the people that I love?”
3) What’s your escape?
A good coffee shop on the weekends, so vitamin d and a book, and family time.

This week I have the absolute pleasure to catch up with Jill Zeller and talk about professional growth. After a quick run down of how she got out to USC we get into our evolutions as coaches. This leads her to her pillars of training and why having these as your totem to fall back on is so important. Tying into that we discuss mentors, what they have taught her, and things she has brought from each of her stops on the way out to LA. She then dives into how being a single sport strength coach helped her learn better ways to find solutions to make sure the team is moving in the right direction. We finish the talk sharing different ways we have navigated our way through the down days of the pandemic with some successful ways to make training a bit more competitive.

Chris Hays returns to My Thoughts Monday to discuss some ways he’s been giving his athletes a bit of autonomy in training with rep ranges. Giving this flexibility is something he’s had success with when it comes to allowing the athletes a bit of say with their daily training based on how they feel, while still getting what is needed out of the training session.

Episode 537: My Thoughts Monday #181- Jake Jensen- Limitations With Periodization Models Mar 29, 2021

Show notes

“The predictions that a periodized structure tries to make, based on assumptions of fitness equaling tactical ability, they just don’t work for team sports.”
“If we can get outside of our space, recognize a theory for it’s base assumptions, and then dig into the minds of people who have more perspective, I think that’s something that can allow us to start making progress on chipping away at what transfer looks like and what periodization looks like in teams.”

Jake Jensen rejoins us to discuss some of the history and contemporary practices in the periodization of programming in this weeks My Thoughts Monday. This includes some of the assumptions made by traditional periodization theories, and how those theories that originated in track and field may have limitations in team sport. This leads him to his main thought on periodization, and that is that there are plenty of theories that exist, and with all the new tools we have access to for us to better evaluate and test those theories to better connect between theory and practitioners and drive better conversation to uncover the unknown unknowns.,

Talking monitoring and jump evaluations with Karim Derqaoui in this weeks episode of The Podcast. After a brief run down of how Karim got to Vald, we dive into how being a coach first has impacted how he views the “tech” and the metrics that he utilizes to assess athletes. This includes his three step model that he looks at when discussing monitoring decisions with coaches and athletes. He also shares with us examples of metrics he would look at for athletes in sports, and what those metrics would mean to him and the athlete that he is assessing. Next, Karim discusses the role of collaboration, why he feels it’s so important, and where he’s seen successes and failures with it. Karim is a fantastic resource, not just because of his knowledge, which is world class, but also his experience as a coach make his insight absolutely priceless when it comes to monitoring metrics and how “the team behind the team” can work together to find better ways to be better for their athletes.

I got to sit down and catch up with Chris Hays and talk developing as a coach in this weeks episode of The Podcast. After a quick step by step of how he got to Coppin State, we dive right into how growth doesn’t have to occur because you switch positions, but is something you should be doing where you’re at. He shares with us some of the extra roles he had at Coppin last year, and how he’s been able to maximize his role as a performance coach. Having to do some extraneous work initially at this position has been a huge learning experience for him, and one that he’s taken many positives away from that have helped him become a better. We then shift gears and talk about how his training focus has changed this year because of the pandemic, and what are the driving factors behind it. This includes how lessons learned throughout the pandemic will have a profound impact on his programming decisions moving forward.

“That’s 100% leadership. It’s looking at a situation, doing what’s right and then getting people to follow you.”
“We’re trying to ask question for people that don’t know those questions exist at times, and then we are turning around and getting upset when people aren’t willing to listen to the answers to the questions that they didn’t even know existed.”
