I had the pleasure of sitting down to discuss the evolution from an athlete to a coach with Jena Ready in this weeks episode of The Podcast. The conversation starts right out with how she got into training, the role of her first strength coach in her love of the weight room, and how being a student athlete impacted her decision to become a coach. We then discuss the power of being given a chance, and how having the opportunity to be a head coach at a young age really helped us both evolve at a greater pace than we would have expected. We then go into how being involved with a large number of teams was vital to set the groundwork for our ability to dedicate our time to one team and provide more value. We finish off discussing what her experience as a college lacrosse player impacted her in both personally and as a coach.

Episode 532: Episode 279- Guillermo Blanco- Make Them Want To Be There Mar 09, 2021

I had the pleasure of sitting down and discussing training and running a powerlifting team with Guillermo Blanco in this weeks episode of The Podcast. After a run down of how he got to McKendree we roll right into the world of D2 sports, and how there are similarities and differences to both D3 and D1. This leads into a great discussion about what he feels his most important role is in the training process, any why he feels it’s so important. We then discuss the team he is a head coach for, the Powerlifting team. This includes the training and meet program, how that is set up through out the year, and how academics impact this year round sport. Guillermo’s coaching and the uniqueness of a powerlifting team is great insight into how we can work better to develop better training, and even use their “ideas” to provide better means for our athlete’s to improve.

Episode 532: My Thoughts Monday #179- Jay DeMayo- Evolving Our Individualization in the Team Setting Mar 08, 2021

Show notes

“Having progressions and regressions allows you to take a step back and have a conversation based on what they are really good at and having success with and what stye maybe are having a hard time with.”

One challenge for strength and conditioning coaches is finding ways to individualize the programming that is both efficient and able to be handled for us in the group setting while still keeping the “team” atmosphere in training. In this weeks My Thoughts Monday I share three different ways we are looking at doing just that, that hopefully can even drive better conversations and more collaboration in the athlete’s general physical preparation phase.

This week I got to sit down and discuss the evolution of training during the pandemic with Michael Kelley. After a quick run down of how he got to Grove City College we dive right into how this unique time has brought them to come up with unique ways to get their athlete’s in to train. This included them moving parts of their weight room to create a second space to accommodate to their 480 student athletes. This includes how the rules in D3 have made it even more challenging, but has also helped identify teams that are truly invested and have better cultures. We then discuss how they bucketed their athletes in different “levels” to allow them to use their different facilities to do the best they could for the athletes. Make sure you give him a follow on IG and Twitter @kelleysmash.

Episode 529: My Thoughts Monday #178- Jay DeMayo- Identifying Direction in Programming Mar 01, 2021

Show notes

“When you have an actual why, and you have your direction, and you have your goals, and you make them known, you now can have legitimate conversations with people and truly audit every aspect of the program.”
This My Thoughts Monday is brought to you by Vald Performance. Vald’s constant drive to help coaches find better information to drive more educated directions is second to none. Check out this weeks Metric Minute and make sure to go check out all their great products at: www.valdperformance.com
You need to know your why has become a trendy statement in coaching. This stems mostly around the importance of the relationships we need to build with the athletes, coaches, and staff we get to work with every day. Our why can also include the why to what we are doing when it comes to programming. In this weeks My Thoughts Monday I share with you a way that I’ve reevaluated how we are setting up our program, and why having a true why driving the entire program has really helped us (hopefully) improve our progressions within the GPP phase of our program.
