Episode 132-Sean Fantuzzi, University of North Dakota- Cover your mouth when you…train? May 08, 2018

Show notes

“That’s why I preach to the guys as much as I can “go to class, go to study hall” because that kind of stuff it shows coaches that you’re willing to prepare. If you’re willing to prepare for class you’re willing to prepare for practices, and it kind of goes hand and hand.” 
Today we are joined by University of North Dakota’s Assistant Strength Coach Sean Fantuzzi to talk about training, After a brief introduction Sean starts to break down some of the changes that have been made within the training of his athletes at UND and the driving factors behind the directions they’ve started moving. This leads him straight into discussing how coaching staff changes have impacted his work with the Fighting Hawks student athletes. Next, he touches upon a topic that has been quite ready of late, breathing, and it’s importance in his programming along with how he teaches it based on “Oxygen Advantage” and where he implements this idea. This leads right into the state of stress that student athletes are in, things that contribute to it, how he’s looking at it, and how they’re monitoring practice as a result.

My Thoughts Monday #29-Jay DeMayo, University of Richmond- Preparing for What and When? May 07, 2018

Show notes

“We really pride ourselves as a profession when it comes to finding better ways to do things, better ways to prepare kids, periodizing this that and the other thing, and building the best program we can possibly build. Consistently looking to educate ourselves better to provide better for these kids, but there’s a problem. Right? And that problem, when you’re talking about these fall sports teams is that all to often they train in the spring and they leave for the summer.”

In today’s My Thoughts Monday I discuss some issues with the preparation plans for teams that come in after breaks. This problem was based on a conversation with a coworker where we were going through when injuries seem to occur, and have started to make some assumptions about what could be contributing factors to this. The main conclusion to that conversation though is that we need to find a better way to make sure that they’re prepared with they’re not here, if that’s even possible.

Episode 131: Nate Brookreson, NC State-Developing a Collaborative Environment May 01, 2018

Show notes

“The thing that I think is the limiting factor in the college environment is this idea of lack of understanding of other domains, and that we have this inability to clarify or define terms.”
NC State’s Nate Brookreson joins us to discuss the model their athletic department is building in Raleigh. He starts out talking about the developing a standard operating procedure in a collaborative group that includes each department including why they have it set, and what the goals of this group is. This brings him to discussing how vital defining terms and roles are, and how that impacts who takes the lead in certain situations. The definition of terms also has a vast impact on training by providing actual goals and directions to go in. Next, he shares with us the role he sees for measurement, where he see’s importance in the data, and what should lead up to collecting and analyzing data. He finishes off giving specific examples of how they have done this at NC State.

My Thoughts Monday #28-Jay DeMayo, University of Richmond- We Need To Change With The Rules Apr 30, 2018

Show notes

“I’m saying that I think that based upon where we’re at and what we are looking at here with these new rule changes we’re going to need to be even more so a facilitator when it comes to adapting what we do in order to make sure these kids: A) continue to adapt and improve to the training we are providing, and B) are healthy and able to survive now which really is looking like mid May till the end of March where basketball is the priority.”

In today’s My Thoughts Monday I discuss how I see the new hour changes for summer time training will change the landscape of what we are doing as strength and conditioning coaches in The NCAA and where our roles can change.

Episode 130-Joe Kenn, Carolina Panthers-His Path and Where We, as Coaches, Are Going. Apr 24, 2018

Show notes

“We talk about all these, don’t start to early in sport specific training, be multi dimensional in your training for sports before you specialize. Really, it’s not different in strength and conditioning. I don’t think any of us, when we first started, necessarily were looking at it from the stand point of being a one sport strength coach. I think we all went into it going int thinking we were going to be the strength coach for a university or a high school or whatever setting. The evolution of what’s occurred is kind of interesting and it’s really changed the dynamics of our field moving forward.”
Today we are joined by the Carolina Panthers Strength Coach Joe Kenn. This is an episode I’ve been hoping to get recorded for a long time because of the huge impact Joe has had on my career. Joe talks us though where his love of the weight room originated, his time at Wake Forest as a player, working in Ft. Lauderdale at Pine Crest prep school, back to Wake as a part time strength coach, 8 and a half years at Boise State, Utah (where The Tier System was validated to him), ASU, Louisville, and The Panthers.
After we finish that Coach Kenn shares with us the three things he feels coaches getting into the game need to consider.
This talk is so full of gems for younger coaches to understand what many of the coaches that they look at as icons went through to get to where they’re hoping to get in this profession.

My Thoughts Monday #27-Jay DeMayo, University of Richmond- What’s Your Escape? Apr 23, 2018

Show notes

“Ya know, there were a lot of us who were the dumb guys who did that and thought we were untouchable and unbreakable and that we could grind 5 days like that. Ya know, and pull those legitimate 80-90 hour weeks without stopping. We’ve all done it, it’s cool, especially when you’re young and there’s that pride factor in it. But when you start to get old and frail and a little fat like some of us have having that escape and knowing that there needs to be a time and a place to get away and recharge is going to save you in the long run.”

In this time of year, as we start to come to the “non countable” hours in college athletics, the topics of recharging and getting away come up quite often. In today’s My Thoughts Monday I talk about the necessity of that being something that we all need to focus more on, that mental escape to allow us to recharge. Share with us and others what you’re doing to “escape” to help spark ideas for other coaches to help improve our mental health of the profession.

Episode 129-Tom Farrow, Arete Performance- Understanding Your Monitoring To Make an Impact Apr 17, 2018

Show notes

“It all comes back to stimulus adaptation, and it’s just finding that point with who ever you're working with where you can make a difference. What’s the level that they’re competing at, understanding that as deeply as you can, andn then just knowing what tools you have to make that a little bit harder a little bit easier, and just moving from there”
Today we are joined by Tom Farrow to discuss training on multiple levels. Tom starts out breaking down the idea of “cultivating heroes” and how that fits into what they’re doing at Arete Performance. We then discuss some of the differences in training at the multiple levels he works with, and how the demands of competition (7’s vs Richmond) determines how he handles his athletes. Tom then breaks down the difference between the two games (15’s vs 7’s) and what they look at when developing and monitoring each type of athlete. This includes how they set up what they monitor and evaluate with their athlete’s and how they break down each team by individual vs position vs team. Tom then shares with us how he sets up their yearly training plans on each level. This leads straight into Tom breaking down the three factors he believes leads to injury and how he manages those three. We finish off talking about the education work that they’re doing at Arete and how that’s helped them drive education in England.

My Thoughts Monday #26-Jay DeMayo, University of Richmond- Can Your Plan B Be Your Plan A? Apr 16, 2018

Show notes

“Do you have these secondary and tertiary plans set if you’re not in a specific situation where it can be successful, it can be safe, it’s what the game demands for that student athlete at that present moment. Are those measures being taken care of prior so that you’re not scrambling and losing your mind, or losing a session because you don’t have Plan B prepared?”

Today I share with you guys some discussions that we have had in our office about making sure we are prepared for curveballs being thrown and coming out on top. The three examples that I discuss are:
Failure
Safety/Weather
Resources
I give specific examples of how we are looking at how we are preparing ourselves incase we need to move to “Plan B”, and how we are hoping this can help move things forward in the same direction we were hoping to move with our Pefect/Dream Plans as “Plan A.”

Episode 128-Dave Tate, EliteFTS.com- The Training and Coaching World Apr 10, 2018

Show notes

“There’s no modular homes when it comes to strength and conditioning. There’s just to many different interrelated parts that the only ones that we have true control of is what we know, and what we know we don’t know.”
Today we are joined by EliteFTS.com's Dave Tate to discuss training and coaching. Dave starts out discussing how he got into using the dynamic effort method and where there are places that bands and chains can fit with lower level lifters. He then touches upon learning, and the role of finding the why’s in training. Finding a mentor is the next topic he discusses including the role of it, how to find one, and why it’s importance. This leads us directly into discussing living “as if.” Dave uses this quote to act “as if” you are what you want to be, but knowing that there was so much work that lead to people being at the pinnacle of any profession.
