In this weeks episode of The Podcast, I get to talk about the state of the strength and conditioning world with Matt Gildersleeve. After a brief run down of how he got up to Buffalo Sleeve starts discussing the role of perspective, and how taking a walk in a different direction opened his eyes to looking at things a bit differently. This leads us into a discussion of biases, including where they come from and how they can be both good and bad. After he gets me on a good rant we then get into the reductionist lens that coaches use, and how this could be a huge limiting factor to our profession moving forward. This includes a discussion about programming and having someone audit your work who has a different background and the role of hiring to bring a different point of view to help people be better. This talk is full of great learning situations and times that have impacted both of us to help us become the coaches we are today, some positive, some negative, but all led to progress.
We are hoping to provide the best possible content for strength coaches with each of our shows. If feel this could provide value for anyone else in the strength and conditioning field please feel free to share

My Thoughts Monday #160- Molly Binetti - What Type Of Environment Are You Creating? Oct 26, 2020

Show notes

“When we seek to understand we can then connect with, and create an environment that they want to be a part of because it matters to them.”
“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.”
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
How can you make the weight room an environment that your athlete’s want to be part of? This is a question that coaches have been digging to find better answers to for as long as there have been weight rooms. In this weeks My Thoughts Monday, Molly Binetti shares with us how autonomy can help contribute to, not just that, but also how well your athlete’s learn as well. Not only does Molly break down the why’s but she provides specific examples to HOW she does this with her athletes at USC, and where she’s seen success with this.

The third installment of these big lessons during the pandemic boils down to one of the issues that we, as performance professionals, might be missing the boat with whatever form of monitoring we are utilizing. In this weeks My Thoughts Monday I share what I think about the questions we are trying to answer, and where the origin of these questions truly need to start from. Spoiler alert, more often than not, it’s not us.

Episode 258- Zach Higginbotham- Metrics Driving Return To Improved Play Oct 13, 2020

Show notes

“How do I replicate the demands of that sport, that competition, that training setting, and how do I prepare the athlete to withstand that?”

In this weeks edition fo The Podcast I sit down and talk about return to play progressions with Florida Atlantic University’s Zach Higginbotham. After a quick run down of how he got down to FAU Zach talks about how he started getting really involved developing return to sport progressions. We then start to discuss metrics, their impact in the return to sport process, and how they can act as a guide to not just bring them “back” but possibly help them come back at a better level. Zach then discusses the continuum from GPP to SPP and how exercise selection and progression leads directly into the the athlete’s psychological preparation post injury.

My Thoughts Monday #158- Jay DeMayo- Coaches Just Are Not Quite Ready Oct 12, 2020

“If people aren’t willing to listen to simple rational thought, in the most simple rational situations, the idea of utilizing complex metrics makes zero sense.”

As I continue on my pandemic reflections, this week I discuss one that kind of hit me like a ton of bricks. One of the topics that kept popping up during quarantine is the need for monitoring and tracking. This was even questioned by some because it’s something that many feel like we should have been doing all along. This is the topic of this weeks My Thoughts Monday. As we look at how sport coaches have handled these “adjustments”, or maybe we should say should NOT have handled them, it raises the question. Are sport coaches actually ready for monitoring and bigger metrics? Today, I give the reasons why I don’t think they are.
