Steven Collins, a Physiotherapist and ASCA Level 2 Strength and Conditioning coach, delved into the intricacies of exercise prescription and programming for rehab and performance on the podcast. He addressed the challenge of appropriate dosing for patients, emphasizing the common issue of underloading. Understanding the 'why' behind exercises emerged as crucial, with insights on overcoming compliance barriers. Collins highlighted the significance of integrating strength and conditioning principles into rehab for improved patient outcomes. The conversation explored the balance between specificity and general benefit, especially in conditions like knee OA. Effective coaching, particularly for athletes, and progressing training in well-conditioned individuals were key topics. The discussion extended to cluster sets, their definition, and their role in rehab, and later shifted to running/plyo-based rehab. Considerations for power, plyometrics, agility, and COD training were explored, emphasizing the importance of retraining COD after an ACL injury and when to integrate high-speed running. The podcast provided valuable insights into advancing rehab and optimizing performance.Steves Podcast: https://linktr.ee/rpepodcastSocials: https://www.instagram.com/steve_liftedacademy/Courses: https://www.thejointnundah.com/classes-programs/rehabilitation-coach-level-1-course/Clinical content to help you day to day:https://patreon.com/SportsMedicineProject?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkSign up for a free weekly Research review about topics related to Sports Medicine straight to your email: https://gmail.us14.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=c3dca95db0740390c605a128e&id=b41f1293caRead through our already written blogs:https://achievepodiatry.com.au

Our guest today is Nicolai Morris, strength and conditioning specialist with High Performance Sport, New Zealand.  Nicolai is the lead S&C with the New Zealand Women’s (Field) Hockey Team (Blacksticks) as well as coaching an international elite high jumper.  From Nicolai’s athletic career origins as a swimmer, she has honed her eye for movement through a wide range of land and sea-based sports and athletic situations. Nicolai has previously worked with New Zealand Rowing in the elite and U23/Junior pathways as well as, multitude of sports in her role as strength and conditioning specialist at Sydney University including swimming, track and field, rugby, rugby 7’s, water polo and soccer.

Nicolai is a ASCA Level 2, Pro-Scheme Elite coach, and a Masters in Strength and Conditioning with over a decade of coaching experience. We talk on this podcast often about going beyond simply looking at, and emphasizing weightlifting maxes for athletic performance improvement; moving into some of the finer biomechanical details of speed, jumping and athletic technique.  At the roots of all technical ability in sport is baseline human ability to sense and coordinate ourselves in space.  Although we have had good conversation on the importance of developing body control and coordination in regards to training children, it’s not often we speak on how to integrate gymnastic and coordinative ability into training with mature athletes, despite the fact that there are so many “poor movers” on this level, whose base line functioning often leaves them pre-disposed for injury. On today’s podcast, Nicolai speaks about her transition as a swimmer to strength coach, as well as a deep-dive into the role that gymnastics and rough-housing work plays in the developmental process of her athletes.  She also speaks on building buy-in and belief from her athletes (and team management/head sports coaches) from a female perspective, and we close out the show with a brief chat on blood flow restriction training (BFR).

De stelling van deze aflevering is: speedladders maken atleten langzamer. Ik ga in gesprek met Eddy over snelheid en wat de rol van speedladders kan zijn in het verbeteren van snelheid. Eddy is bewegingswetenschapper en performance trainer. Hij doet momenteel zijn stage op Papendal en heeft ervaring in het roeien, handbal en basketbal. Hij is gecertificeerd via de ASCA Level 2 als Strength and Conditioning Coach. Natuurlijk gaan we geen standpunt innemen voordat we de principes hebben verkend. En Eddy is een gast die veel diepgaande kennis heeft over snelheid en nog belangrijk over ‘agility’.  Dit is het artikel waar we een paar keer naar refereren: Laddertraining deel 1: Agility en het gebruik van ladders in de training In deze podcast leer je: De zin en onzin van speedladdersWat is snelheid als fysieke kwaliteit en hoe trainen we ditWat is agility als fysieke kwaliteit en hoe trainen we ditHoe ontwerpen we een training waarbij snelheid en agility terugkomen en worden getraind Een inhoudelijke en waardevolle podcast als je echt wil weten hoe snelheid werkt!

I loved hearing Craig Lewin's Marathon Swim Story. Now a triple crown finisher, Craig was one of the first Americans to travel to England earlier this year, despite the pandemic and the 14 day quarantine period, in order to successfully swim across the English Channel. As Craig attests, it's valuable to have a coach keep you accountable as you pursue your swimming goals. I once heard it said, as children we have role models, tutors, and coaches whether in sport or education, but somehow after we get out of school, we think we have everything figured out and rarely do people pursue coaches. If you're striving to be more, I highly recommend connecting with someone who clicks with you. If you want to see if we click, book a conversation with me at http://intrepidwater.com.In his own words: Craig Lewin is a USA Swimming Coach, ASCA Level 2 Coach and a US Masters Swimming Level 1 & 2 coach with over 10 years of swim coaching experience. He is a graduate of Boston College with degrees in Economics and Sociology, a graduate of Salem State College with a BS in Sport Movement Science and a graduate of Northeastern University with an MS in Clinical Exercise Physiology. Craig swam collegiately for the Division 1 Men's Swimming & Diving team at Boston College. He recently completed his Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming in July of this year with his English Channel Swim. Craig has done several marathon swims, including the Boston Light Swim, Swim Across the Sound 25km and the 25km swim at the USA Swimming Open Water National Championships in 2005 & 2006. He was a support swimmer for two separate English Channel swim attempts and recently completed his own solo swim across the English Channel in 2020. Along with marathon swimming, Craig has competed in triathlon at a high level and qualified for the Ironman 70.3 World Championships in 2008.Questions, comments, feedback, or if you'd like to be a guest on Marathon Swim Stories, email me! mailto:shannon@intrepidwater.comStay in touch by joining our email list at http://intrepidwater.comJoin a supportive group of limit pushers at The Marathon Swimming Collective Music credit:Epic Inspiration by Rafael KruxLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/5447-epic-inspiration-License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Swimming sounds courtesy of swimmer Todd Lantry.

Today I welcome Clint Hill who is a ASCA Level 3 Elite Strength & Conditioning Coach, has a Masters in Strength & Conditioning from Edith Cowan University and he is currently involved in high performance coaching, lecturing and mentoring S&C’s and personal trainers. We discuss COVID, the health of the fitness industry, his knee injury from walking his dog, why getting injured makes you a better coach, what type of Physio he refers to and much more. 

Australian Fitness Podcast - Episode #29 Grant Jenkins.I met Grant back in 2008 when we were both part of an ASCA Level 3 course.  What I remember about him then was that he was always up for a debate, keen to challenge mainstream thinking, but not to be argumentative, just to see if there was a better, more efficient, and more effective way of doing things.He’s still challenging the status quo.He’s very knowledgeable, very practical in his thinking, and intensely passionate about his industry, his work, and his business.  When you listen to Grant, you’ll get the distinct impression that he simply wants to do a great job for and with his athletes.He’s had roles in Sport at the elite level, owns and operates his own business and in this chat, we examine the nuances of the modern-day Strength and Conditioning Coach.I liked this Podcast because it’s an open and honest chat about how he sees his role as a coach, what he believes other coaches need to focus on, and where he sees the future of S&C in Australia.He’s a typical South African lad, tells is as it is and if you don’t like it, he’s ok with that.Enjoy the Podcast with Grant.Instagram @propelperform and @propelfitLinkedIn - Grant Jenkins
