Episode 521: My Thoughts Monday #174- Jay DeMayo- The Confusion Around Aerobic Exercise Feb 01, 2021

Show notes

“If we’re going to say, and we’re going to mean, that we are trying to provide the minimal effective dose, and we are trying to pick the low hanging fruit off the tree first then what we can’t do is take the simplest, easiest, least stressful forms of activity and say ‘we will never do that’.”

In this weeks My Thoughts Monday I chime in on a recent discussion I saw on strength coach Twitter, the utilization of aerobic exercise in physical preparation programs. Aerobic work, practically long duration aerobic work, has been looked down upon as a means to improve sport performance, and I feel this is a mistake. There are many situations where low end “cardio” is actually the best choice for an athlete. This really exposes the underlying problem, that we try to make too many blanket statements about training, a subject that we also say shouldn’t have a cookie cutter approach and that we need to go after the “low hanging fruit”. Instead we throw out one of the least stressful means and method we could utilize that can provide the greatest overall impact in their ability to perform at practice and in competition. I think that’s a mistake.

I had the pleasure of discussing the importance of thinking outside the preverbal box, just just in training but how we look at our entire world of coaching, with Ali Kershner. After a quick run down of how she got back out to Palo Alto, we get into her time and Kansas. This discussion includes a different perspective on the role of a mentor, and how learning from one of the trial blazers and most recognized coaches in the world leads to some trying scenario for young coaches who are trying to make their mark. We then discuss the role of autonomy, the misconceptions of it, and why it may be even more important that ever in this COVID world we are trying to navigate. We finish off discussing her latest project, “Ride The Grey” a podcast that she and Travis Knight discuss different topics and their relation to our field. Check them out on Apple Podcasts here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ride-the-grey/id1527817399.

Episode 518: My Thoughts Monday #173- Jay DeMayo- It Is Not Unsolicited Advice, It’s An Insult Jan 25, 2021

Show notes

“Let’s work together more to get through this because we can do better.”
“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.”

Throughout this unique time we have been going through there were bound to be some bad things that happened in sports because of the time away, we all knew this. In this weeks My Thoughts Monday I talk about how there are two ways people are addressing this, trying to look at information and do better when the athletes start back in the spring after another lay off, and those who are just providing unsolicited advice about what people need to be doing. Using this time to point fingers at people is really disappointing and just attacking coaches at our weakest point, and that is the anxiety many coaches have when it comes to their professional stability. We need to be better than this

What should the actual requirements to become a strength and conditioning coach be, and where can governing bodies do better to regulate these credentials? This has been a hot topic for quite a while in our small corner in the world of sport and exactly why I wanted Andrew Langford on The Podcast. Andrew is the director of the International Universities Strength and Conditioning Association, which is a new accreditation organization that’s providing a lot of great support to helping improve our profession, where they’re main objective is to bridge the gap between schooling/research and practical experience/coaching on the floor. Throughout the talk Andrew dives into the role of research in education, it’s limitations within journals, the role of data collection, mistakes coaches may be making with it, and the power of a staff audit in bringing more value and displaying how things can improve.

Episode 517: My Thoughts Monday #172- Yes, We Have A Long Way to Go, But How Far Have We Come? Jan 18, 2021

“We need to take a step back and look at the entire situation so that we know, ‘hey you know what it’s not ideal, it’s not perfect, but it’s better than it was in 2004’.”

There is a common knee jerk reaction to position postings on social media that typically is something similar to “I can’t believe that they are still paying people so bad for these positions, it’s why I got out of the profession.” In this week’s My Thoughts Monday I talk about these openings, the evolution of a position, and how we may actually be moving forward. We are not where we all feel that should be, but if we take a step back and look, we may be in a better spot then we think.

“Have the capacity to question the status quo.”
“You’ve got to do your skill. You’ve either got to do your skill: overloaded, underloaded, or in parts.”
What’s up everybody and welcome the 73rd episode of Outside The Rack brought to you by Kinetic Performance the makers of Gymaware.

Does getting stronger in the weight room help you bowl faster or sprint faster?

Today we are joined by Courtney Walden. After a run down of how she got out to Eugene she shares with us the role of her athletic career impacted her as a coach, including how the lessons of “contact time” and “stimulus” were taught to her in a unique manner through her time as a gymnast and a pole vaulter. She then discussed the idea of movement quality and how “feeling good” when doing it is just as valuable, if not more so. This is so vital, not just in allowing the athlete to load better, but also in helping drive autonomy, ownership, and buy-in with training. This leads her into a lesson on cueing, and how allowing the players to use iPads and review reps with their teammates helped build new “sport related” cues so the players had a better understanding of what they were trying to do in the gym.

Episode 516: My Thoughts Monday #171- Jay DeMayo- Has the Pendulum Swung Too Far…Again? Jan 11, 2021

Show notes

“If we are being entrusted for the physical preparation of the student athletes, or of the young people we get to work with, shouldn’t we allow the coaches, and shouldn’t we provide them the trust to develop the special preparation for their athletes?”

In our world of sport performance there have been multiple pendulum swings. From the Olympic lifts, to Husker Power, to functional training, the list goes on and on. One that has been most active of late is the importance of specificity. In this week’s My Thoughts Monday I share some of the reflecting I have been doing of late when it comes to programming, and why I think we may have gone too far down the “specific” rabbit hole, and why this may be one of the things limiting us as a profession by preventing us to develop a true “role” in sport.
