What happens when you walk into a situation and quickly realize it isn't what you expect? How do you respond and learn to adapt? How do you know where you need to change and where to stand firm? Currently Head of Performance with US Soccer, Darcy found himself asking these questions after he and his family moved overseas, to a country where they couldn't speak the language and they were largely unfamiliar with the surrounding culture. In the midst of navigating the lonely moments that he and his family were experiencing, Darcy's willingness to reflect deeply on his values and level of self-awareness propelled him into the leader he is today in all scopes of life.

Ok ok, so you DO NOT
Across different countries & sports, our guests appear to agree on “meta”-level aspects of working within high-performance sports.So here we are, putting it ALL together for you in our 19th episode of the Training Science Podcast. In it, Martin and Paul summarize their thoughts on the journey so far, and tease out commonalities (and differences) revealed across the episodes. One clear similarity guests discussed was related to how they use a systematic approach when it came to finding a programming puzzle solution on any given day of training.Systematic process that enables everyone to be ready to go and play ANY time! This does NOT come from just randomly allocating work across various domains, but rather from a PURPOSEFUL strategy that practitioners developed — both for team or individual based sports!Additionally, there were novel contributions in the area of strength training and its place in the world of team and endurance sports. While guests highlight their specific approaches, for many of them it became a TIME factor as well as a SPECIFICITY focus — for either, being highly efficient matters a lot in the busy schedules of professional sports.In this first part of our summary we get the best bits from:Darcy Norman https://www.darcynormanconsulting.com/ Antonio Gomez https://www.instagram.com/antoniogomez008/ Robert Stanley https://usacycling.org/team-usa/track Dr. Joseph Coyne http://www.coynesportsinjuryclinic.com.au/ Julio Tous https://es.linkedin.com/in/julio-tous-fajardo-822b887a Gil Orriols ⚠️Want FAST athletes?!
