Podcasts about athletic development

Today's guest is Rett Larson, strength coach for the German Women's Volleyball Team and creator of the "No Zombies" training philosophy. Rett coached Olympic medalists with China and the Netherlands, blending energy, rhythm, and purposeful movement into world-class performance. As sport expands into an increasingly more high-pressure, early specialization event that can easily suck fun and joy away, there grows a need for a "counter-culture" within athletic performance. Not only does a "physical preparation" process for athletes that is joyful and gamified lead to more fun within a training session, but it also develops important athletic qualities, within that umbrella of "fun" that may not be possible in more "traditional" sessions. Rett Larson is spearheading an active, engaging approach to the physical preparation process for athletes with warmups designed for joy, engagement, and a comprehensive stimulation of athletic qualities along the way. On today's episode, Rett speaks on a variety of engaging tools and gamifications in the warmup process for both thermogenic and neurological preparation. He goes into his take on partner exercises and isometrics, and the process of using a physical challenge to "sneak" strength and skill elements in the program.

Rett challenges that default. Why not flip the script? Start with something that actually taps into the nervous excitement athletes bring into day one. Instead of draining that spark, use it to build buy-in. What to try: • Kick things off with a creative team challenge instead of movement screens. • Replace punishments with something silly but memorable (e.g., team serenade or worm dance). • Avoid singling people out—no solo singing for introverts. The goal is laughter, not dread. 2️⃣ Rope Flow: Movement Puzzles that Stick If you've ever tried rope flow, you know it's strangely addicting. Rett uses it as a warm-up tool that hits thermogenic, rotational, and coordination qualities all in one. It's essentially a moving puzzle—and that makes it ideal for getting athletes out of zombie mode. What to try: • Add rope flow sequences early in warm-ups to raise body temp and spark engagement. • Mix in new patterns over time so it stays fresh. • Think of it as "motor learning meets party trick"—athletes love that feeling of leveling up. 3️⃣ Partner Work and Social Pressure: The Good Kind Warm-ups don't have to be solo grinds. In fact, the social element is part of the magic. Whether it's balloon volleys in a split squat or partner wall sits, Rett uses simple tools to inject teamwork, laughter, and just the right amount of peer pressure. What to try: • Design partner or trio-based warm-up drills to naturally boost effort and engagement. • Add tasks or games that distract from the burn (like volleying a balloon while holding a lunge).

Today, I am honored to welcome Dr. Rob Ramseyer, the esteemed Vice President of Athletics and Strategic Expansion at Friends University, as well as the co-founder of the Impact Coaching Project. This initiative is dedicated to nurturing coaches who emphasize the holistic development of student-athletes, advocating for a coaching philosophy that extends beyond mere performance metrics. Throughout our dialogue, we will explore Dr. Ramsmer's conviction that authentic coaching fosters not only athletic prowess but also personal growth and resilience in young athletes. His accomplishments include authoring a book on athletic leadership and hosting the podcast "Beyond Coaching," where he delves into similar themes of effective mentorship and community building in sports. Join us as we discuss the transformative potential of coaching and the critical importance of prioritizing relationships within athletic environments.The conversation with Dr. Rob Ramseyer is a thought-provoking exploration of the current state of coaching and athlete development in collegiate sports. As the Vice President of Athletics and Strategic Expansion at Friends University, Dr. Ramseyer has pioneered the Impact Coaching Project, which seeks to revolutionize coaching by strongly emphasizing the holistic development of student-athletes. This initiative serves as a testament to his belief that effective coaching extends beyond the mere metrics of performance, advocating instead for a model that nurtures athletes' physical and emotional well-being. During our discussion, Dr. Ramseyer sheds light on the changing landscape of youth athletics, highlighting the increasing pressures that young athletes face in today's society, mainly due to the advent of social media and heightened expectations from families. He articulates the necessity for coaches to build meaningful relationships with their athletes, as evidenced by research conducted at Friends University, which indicates that the primary motivator for student-athletes is their relationships with teammates and coaches. This finding prompts a reevaluation of coaching practices, urging a shift towards fostering environments where athletes feel valued and supported.Furthermore, Dr. Ramseyer reflects on his personal experiences as a young coach and the mentors who shaped his journey, providing insight into the importance of guidance in the development of effective coaching philosophies. He emphasizes the need for structured training programs for coaches, advocating for a model that includes elements of emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, and community building. The dialogue culminates in discussing Dr. Ramsmer's forthcoming publications and ongoing research endeavors, which aim to explore the dynamics of team culture and athlete motivation. Ultimately, Dr. Ramsmer's vision for the future of coaching prioritizes character development and relational engagement, striving to cultivate a generation of athletes who are not only skilled in their sports but also well-rounded individuals equipped to navigate life's challenges.Takeaways: The Impact Coaching Project aims to cultivate coaches who emphasize the holistic development of student-athletes, transcending mere performance metrics. Dr. Rob Ramseyer's insights reveal that relationships significantly motivate athletes, with teammates and family taking precedence over coaches. Coaches today must adapt to a changing landscape where information and social media influence young athletes' perceptions and expectations. A successful coaching culture prioritizes competence, care, and consistent character in building strong relationships with athletes. The evolution of youth sports has led to increased pressures on athletes and families, necessitating a more thoughtful approach to coaching and mentorship. Rob's reflections on mentorship emphasize the profound impact that...

Today's podcast features sports performance coach, Vern Gambetta, owner of Gambetta Training Systems. Vern is a globally respected leader in sports performance training, with over five decades of experience in coaching and consulting across multiple sports. Gambetta has profoundly influenced the field of athletic development, and his innovative approaches to functional movement, strength training, and sport-specific conditioning have shaped the practices of coaches, trainers, and athletes worldwide. It's interesting to think of the idea of “nothing new under the sun”, in physical training. Vern has been through half a century of training means and methods, using methods both popular and forgotten. So often in our own training and coaching journies, we look back and think “That was a great training series, I should do that again”! In this episode, Vern speaks on complex training (although as he mentions, he just calls it training), getting into spectrum training, and the evolution of his leg circuits. He talks about his history with isometric training, along with PNF concepts that are highly effective, but forgotten by many performance coaches. He also gets into priming and potentiation, rhythmic aspects in training, looking at training transfer through the lens of track and field, and much more in today's episode.

And that what that does is that develops a more robust athlete. And a healthy athlete” - Vern Gambetta “I've been doing isometric using isometrics and training since I first started strength training in 1963, and it's never not been part of my programs” - Vern Gambetta “And then there was a guy, Dr. Pat O'Shea at Oregon State, who wrote a lot about it, where basically you'd set your pins in a rack and you say if your max squat was 400 pounds, you'd put 500 pounds. And you drive it up for maybe four or five inches against the top pin, and then you'd hold it for six counts. And I did that. And, man, the lifts went sky high” - Vern Gambetta “I do these, I call them spectrum workouts where you go from isometric to fast eccentric to eccentric, fast eccentric. There's concentric work to regular tempo to total ball...

In this replay from 2019, John talks with Ted Kroeten (@Joyofthepeople), founder of Joy of the People, a free play soccer program in Minnesota. Kroeten leads the way in rethinking and delivering player development always championing kids and possibilities based on his experienced, dedicated, and innovative soccer career. Joy of the People's mission statement provides a clear idea of what they're attempting to provide:   To support the idea of play as an important part of a child's development, to build small soccer spaces for kids to play, to serve disadvantaged youth, and to build community spirit.   Here are some highlights from the Podcast: What happened when free play was introduced into practice? How does the now defunct idea of “10,000 hours” play into free play and increasing performance? An amazing story of a soccer club famed for youth player development, with numerous expensive player transfers, yet they sign their players after the age of 16  The younger teams get beat in competition, but how does it work out when they get older? There is a time for structure, when is that time? What is going on with the athlete that did not grow up in the academy setting but blows away those who grew up in the deliberate practice environment? How can you add free play into your performance development practice plan? What are “kid micro-clubs”?     Connect with Ted Kroeten Website:  www.joyofthepeople.org Email: Ted@joyofthepeople.org Twitter: @JOYofthePEOPLE LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ted-kroeten-3114a27/   Resources Mentioned  Article on Dynamo Zagreb Academy Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World, by David Epstein [book] The debate between Epstein and Gladwell [video] Explorations in Language Acquisition and Use, by Stephen Krashen [book] How to Become a Transformational Coach with Jean Cote, World-Renowned Expert in Youth Sports and Coach Development [podcast]   OUR NEW BOOK IS AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER!

@1QLeadership Question: Can the processes learned throughout your career lay the foundation for entrepreneurial pursuits? Dr. Jason Penry, Founder of Penry Advisors, spent years working in fundraising in college athletics and on campus in general. Not long ago, he decided to start a business based on the concepts he learned during his career raising money.  "involvement precedes investment, almost always" relationships work across all industries doing things for the greater good makes it easier to put in the time never promise something you can't deliver Before branching out on his own, Penry used the same concepts to help start a medical school in the state of Arkansas. He also notes that the pace of athletics fundraising is far more urgent, in terms of immediate use, than academic fundraising. - One Question Leadership Podcast - Tai M. Brown

It was time to bring back Charlie Weingroff for Episode 169 to talk about some serious stuff.  Charlie and Don had a private conversation a few weeks ago on the subject of scientific research in health, wellness and performance, and where it fits in the selection of protocols, exercises and other key ingredients for optimal performance and health.  While some practitioners are quick to support their own positions with research papers, or argue against another professional's methods using peer reviewed research as a basis, we discuss the nuances of using research in an intelligent manner.  Practical experience, case studies, intuition and research can form a strong foundation of knowledge and skill that can go a long way to bolster the work of a successful practitioner or coach.  Charlie identifies the key elements that go into establishing foundational knowledge and practice.  Dr. Charlie Weingroff is one of the most sought-after professionals world-wide in physical therapy and athletic performance.

Rob Assise is a jumps coach and mathematics teacher at Homewood Flossmoor High School (2023 Illinois State Track Champions). He is also a writer, a regular “Track Football Consortium” speaker, and a multi-time guest on this podcast. In addition to high school sports, he owns the private training business Re-Evolution Athletics. Having good reactivity in the feet carries nuance with it. Some athletes can use their feet exceptionally well for sprinting or straight-ahead pursuits. Others have foot dynamics that allow them a better conversion of horizontal energy to vertical. Ultimately, the goal is to understand why athletes use their strategies and find areas of improvement specific to the individual. On today's podcast, Rob covers ideas on intersections of sprint and jumps training in track and field, athletic asymmetry, plyometric coaching, speed and power complexes, and a nuanced discussion on the nature of foot placement in sprinting and plyometrics, on the level of both performance and injury prevention. Rob is a humble and experienced coach, and I've always loved having a chance to sit down and talk training with him.

It just allowed me to kind of see things from a little bit of different perspective because on the Runway you're really not at maximum speed." (15:49) "When you do things that the brain finds interesting, your brain doesn't give a damn about volume." (32:20) “In general, when we're looking at asymmetry with a 1080 or something, like bounding, hopping, whatever, I usually just use, like, a 10% marker. So, like, if that asymmetry is greater than 10% or maybe approaching 10%, maybe we're going to tease in some things to try to get a little bit more of a balance” (42:31) “I've had sprinters who have had crazy good RSi scores. And they come over to the jumps and I'll have them, like, bound or hop, and they're going to have a contact that's more flat or rolling and they just can't do it. It looks like incredibly labored. It's like they just don't want to. They almost refuse to contact that rear part of their foot” (44:30) "Those athletes who struggle accessing that rear part of their foot, they were more prone to hamstring injuries." (48:52) “Very few people are going to hit a forefoot contact gallop” About Rob Assise Rob Assise has 20+ years of experience teaching mathematics and coaching track and field at Homewood-Flossmoor High School.
