Jaime Cevallos Interview (1-hour, 1-min total time for interview)...here are the time-stamps of the audio interview, so you can skip around: I asked Jaime, "How do you explain to people what it is you do?" Talks about his interest in movement, and how he got invited to Golf's Safeway Open as a swing coach [about 1-min mark] Talked about how Jaime's book Positional Hitting was a fantastic transition for me from when I used to teach Down & Through. Here's the Jaime Cevallos Four Hour Work Week Blog post featuring him titled: How I Did It: From $7 an Hour to Coaching Major League Baseball MVPs [about 3-min mark] I asked Jaime, "I understand you started in golf analysis before jumping into the baseball swing...what were your takeaways from golf that made a difference with the baseball swing?" The pain from quitting baseball, made him obsessive about figuring out the swing. Importance of bent back arm impact position of good Golfers - noticed similar thing in baseball. Comparing Ben Hogan to Babe Ruth and how similar their swings were. Learning the "Slot Position" and spotting patterns. [answers about 10-min mark] The challenge of teaching amateur hitters to hit the ball as hard and as far as you can, and that only fixing ineffective mechanics - or not. Teaching high level mechanics to youth hitters. Player definitely needs to be curious about hitting, hard work not necessarily needed at a young age. How many young hitters would read Charlie Lau's book at 12yo? If teaching doesn't allow hitter to not be robotic, then most likely it's the coaching cue that's the issue. [about 14:30 mark] I asked Jaime, "A question I get asked all the time is, do you believe the baseball and Fast-Pitch Softball swing are two totally different things?" Differences being reaction time and stride timing...no real difference in what you're trying to accomplish with the swing. Understanding cricket and how golfers don't care about Golf "Ball Exit Speed", they care more about precision and accuracy. [about 21-min, 30-sec mark] Jaime quote that addresses those coaches that ask, "So how many Big League AB's do you have?" Should we take what MLB hitting instructors say as gospel? Here's Jaime's quote I mentioned in the interview, "MLB hitting coaches are motivated by keeping their job, not developing innovative principles. If they change a franchise player's swing, and that player gets worse, their name is forever blacklisted. Word will spread that he makes good hitters bad. And regardless of how many hitters he has helped, the one he “ruined” will be the bane of his career. GMs will attach his name with money flying out the window. He can just take a seat next to Jose Canseco in the list of people who will never be offered a contract. Because of this, MLB hitting coaches develop vague hitting methods, appearing to help when the team is doing well, yet standing on no specific method when the team is struggling. It's common for them to wait until a player on the team gets hot, and associate themselves to that player as much as possible. I've seen it time and time again.” We're in a swing instruction revolution. The MLB hitting coaches are catching up. [about 28-min mark] If you have something of value you can offer to a professional ball player, then go and seek them out in the winter to work with them. It doesn't matter if you have baseball experience, if you have a passionate curiosity for finding out the swing, then go for it! The fallacy credibility indicator of "30 years of coaching"...it's not the year in your coaching, it's the coaching in your years. The willingness to take chances and experiment with your teaching/coaching young hitters. [about 31-min mark] Jaime talks about his new product the PitchView Pitch Recognition Training Aid. Biggest area of opportunity to solve a problem in a sport. Hitting is four different skills: Eye Hand Coordination, Mechanics, Strength & Speed, and Pitch Recognition. Jaime feels eye-hand coordination is pretty much tapped out. How juggling at a young age helped Jaime's eye-hand coordination, however he feels it didn't help him that much in hitting - more so in fielding. What steroid-era taught us about the Strength & Speed category. Swing mechanics is going through a revolution - opportunity here right now. Pitch Recognition is untapped right now. [about 36-min mark] The WHY, HOW, and WHAT of the PitchView PR Training Aid. How PR is currently being trained now. Protecting the hitter freeing them up to actively learn how to make their PR better during pitcher's bullpens. Connecting release motion to flight of the ball to hitters movement (timing). Currently working with Berkeley University baseball team as a LIVE case study. Your team record will depend on how effective and efficient your practices are. [about 40-min mark] I mentioned Dr. Peter Fadde and his Pitch Recognition software GameSense, CLICK HERE for this written interview I did with him. And CLICK HERE for Perry Husband in this interview about his Effective Velocity program on tracking and timing. [about 45-min mark] Jaime mentions the new book he's working on that will be a fantastic compliment to his last book Positional Hitting. This book will talk more about feel to transition the positions of the swing. [about 48-min mark] I asked Jaime, "If you could put anything on a ballpark jumbo-tron, in any MLB ballpark, what would you put on it?" Don't give up. What this means to him isn't what you think. Focus on movement - perfect most important movements. [about 51-min mark] I asked Jaime, "What advice would you give the beginning Positional Hitting Jaime?" He wouldn't change much, but would tell himself not to swing as much. He's someone who wants to perfect the swing, doesn't necessarily enjoy teaching. Swing motion is pretty hard on the body especially one-sided dominant hitters. Raul Ibanez told Jaime at 35yo to save your swings. Jaime's work on Gymnastics now to take care of his body. You need to start swinging from the other side - your body just needs it, and makes your preferred swing better.

As elite athletes, we are in it to win it every time we compete, and anything less than first place is seen as a loss. But what if we looked at it differently? What if we rejected the idea of ‘winning versus losing’ and instead embraced the idea of ‘winning versus learning’? What if we saw every setback as an opportunity to become the best version of ourselves? Roland Schoeman is South Africa’s most successful swimmer, winning gold, silver and bronze in the 2004 Olympics. He attended the University of Arizona on scholarship, breaking several NCAA records during his collegiate career. Roland holds multiple records in the 100-meter freestyle, 50-meter freestyle, 100-meter butterfly and 50-meter butterfly events, and he was the first man to swim the 50-meter freestyle in under 21 seconds. Roland was named African Swimmer of the Year by Swimming World in 2004, 2005 and 2006, and he was elected South African Sports Star of the Year in 2004. Today, Roland discusses the value of his well-rounded athletic background playing a variety of team sports. He speaks to his rejection of the 10,000-hour rule and the pros and cons of his cerebral approach to swimming. Roland shares his challenging experience at the 2016 Olympic trials, the importance of recovery for older athletes, and what he learned in taking a step back from competition this past year. Listen in for Roland’s insight on how Gymnastic Bodies has helped him become a better swimmer and get inspired by his ‘winning versus learning’ philosophy! Topics Covered [1:26] Roland’s athletic background Grew up in South Africa playing variety of team sports Committed to swimming at 16 to pursue scholarship [4:52] Roland’s take on multi-sport athletes Team, individual sports develop self-awareness Don’t believe in 10K-hour rule Value in choosing own route (vs. outside pressure) [9:03] What makes someone an elite athlete Natural talent (e.g.: Anthony Ervin) Hard work, desire trumps 10K hours Different for every athlete [11:16] The pros and cons of Roland’s cerebral approach Pedantic, methodical approach bred success Mimicking competitor techniques negated own strengths [16:00] Roland’s experience at the 2016 Olympic trials Trained with South African coach in Alabama Severe muscular fatigue from overtraining Not enough recovery for older athlete [20:13] Roland’s insight on elite athletes and recovery Most Olympians limited in recovery tools Education, emphasis improved at university level Eating right and sleeping well are most important [23:37] Roland’s sleep and nutrition practices Always cognizant of sleep hygiene (WHOOP Strap) High-quality protein, starch and steamed vegies/salad Sufficient water, electrolytes [27:16] Roland’s time off after the Olympic trials Went to Rio as coach for George Bovell Able to enjoy experience as ‘celebration of ability’ Continued training to compete in World Cup series Focus of last year on Gymnastic Bodies training [31:06] How Gymnastic Bodies has benefitted Roland More flexible, mobile than ever before Improved hip, hamstring and quad mobility Eliminated back pain Plans to compete in 2020 Olympics [34:07] Roland’s insight on taking a step back from competition Success, transformation is not linear Choose to see circumstances as opportunity Innate competitive desire will never change [39:07] Roland’s aspirations moving forward Continue working with national teams (starting technique) Reaching out for funding to assist with prep for 2020 [45:07] Roland’s unique take on funding partnerships Cultivate sport as great unifier Contribution in terms of swimming as brand [47:00] Roland’s advice for high-caliber athletes Only person who determines success/failure is YOU Learn from mistakes and perceived failures Learn More About Roland Roland’s Website Resources WHOOP Strap Gymnastic Bodies

Si tu objetivo es la potencia, no te centres en el volumen Si hablamos de mejorar la fuerza máxima en una repetición de sentadilla o de press de banca la cosa es relativamente sencilla. Sabemos que tenemos que utilizar cargas altas y que lo que queremos mejorar es el único gesto de hacer una repetición. Además, como estamos trabajando con pesas, podemos ajustar la carga con la que queramos trabajar con total exactitud. Pero si hablamos de un ejercicio de calistenia, en el que el peso a utilizar es tu propio cuerpo, la cosa se complica. Y si lo que queremos mejorar es una prueba que va a durar, en este caso, entre 5 y 8 segundos la cosa se complica aún más. Pero si además, tenemos que repetir el gesto varias veces y dependiendo de la fuerza que tengamos daremos 8, 9, 10 o incluso 14 brazadas y en la que la técnica también juega un papel importantísimo, pues ya las cosas no están tan claras. Por todo ello, queriéndome centrar durante 6 meses en mejorar mi tiempo en trepar la cuerda adopté una programación de gimnasta de old school (vieja escuela) con mucho volumen, al estilo de lo que había aprendido cuando entrené con GymnasticBodies. El resultado fue que no mejoré nada mi tiempo en la cuerda tras 6 meses de entreno, pero aumenté mucho mi resistencia (pasé a poder hacer 10 cuerdas de 6,5 m desde sentado en una sesión o varias cuerdas de 5m dobles). Quiero compartir este pequeño fracaso de programación, con el fin de que puedas aprender a cómo hay que planificar el entrenamiento en función de tus objetivos. Gracias a él, ahora mismo sé muchísimo más sobre el entrenamiento de fuerza que hace un año. Gracias a él he estado investigando sobre qué dicen los estudios sobre el entrenamiento de fuerza y he desterrado algunos de los mitos del entrenamiento de vieja escuela, manteniendo algunos de ellos que sí que tienen fundamento o que no sé si lo tienen o no pero funcionan (por ejemplo, meter mucha movilidad escapular). Vamos a lo práctico, Punto de partida En el momento de empezar estaba haciendo un par de días a la semana 5 cuerdas de 6,5m desde sentado. El tiempo en la cuerda estaba en torno a los 7 segundos (el que tuvo, retuvo. Aquí podéis ver el vídeo). No estaba utilizando ningún lastre. Sencillamente cuando entrenaba, después de la primera cuerda, intentaba subir lo más rápido posible prestando atención en la técnica. Entrenamiento Seguí entrenando dos días a la semana. El primer día entrenaba volumen, es decir, subir muchas cuerdas de 6,5m. No tenía demasiada miga el asunto semana a semana ir aumentando la cantidad de cuerdas que hacía, llegando a un máximo de 10, con recuperaciones de 3 minutos. Después de haber conseguido las 10, intercalaba una cuerda de 6,5m con dobles de 5m. Esto es que desde sentado subes hasta tocar una marca a 5 m, bajas sin perder tensión y cuando tu culo toca el suelo vuelves a arrancar para arriba hasta tocar la marca de 5m de nuevo, claro y vuelves a bajar. Esto es algo durísimo. Llegué a meter 4 cuerdas dobles de 5m y 4 de 6,5m en una sesión. El segundo día que entrenaba en la semana hacía un entrenamiento más orientado a la fuerza. Consistía normalmente en 6 cuerdas de 5m con lastre. No demasiado, el día de mayor lastre fueron 8kg. Normalmente este día de entrenamiento lo hacía en casa con una cuerda de 3m, con lo que hacía 6 cuerdas dobles con el lastre. El día de volumen intentaba tener acceso a una cuerda larga (6,5m), pero hubo algunos días que lo tuve que hacer en la de 3 m que tengo en casa, con lo que hacía cuerdas triples. Una semana al mes era de "bajada", llevando el entrenamiento al mínimo para asimilar la carga de trabajo de las otras 3 semanas. Podía consistir en un día 5 o 6 cuerdas de 6,5m y el otro en 6 cuerdas de 5m. Todas las cuerdas del entrenamiento se hacía empezando desde sentado. Errores de la planificación Mi objetivo era mejorar mi marca en una prueba de unos 7 segundos, pero mi entrenamiento fue como si mi objetivo fuese subir una cuerda de 20m (h...

De nuevo hoy tenemos episodio para resolver vuestras dudas. Os recuerdo que me las podéis hacer llegar desde el apartado CONTACTAR. Vamos con ello! 1. Diferencias entre bodyweight y calistenia Buenos días. Soy una estudiante de ciencias de la actividad física y del deporte y me gustaría ver si me puedes ayudar en lo siguiente. Estoy realizando un trabajo sobre el entrenamiento integral bodyweight por lo que me gustaría que me explicaras cuales son las diferencias entre el bodyweight y la calistenia. Hasta ahora solo he podido ver que prácticamente la idea del entrenamiento es la misma, ya que los dos están basados en el entrenamiento mediante el peso del propio cuerpo y sin ninguna necesidad de material externo. La sesión que voy a realizar, sera una actividad guiada de bodyweight, con música, por el tema de la motivación y el ritmo de las repeticiones dentro de las series de cada ejercicio. También me gustaría saber si esta idea de sesión seria adecuada dentro del mundo fitness con el objetivo de fortalecer y tonificar. Muchas gracias de antemano por tu tiempo. Aida 2. Slackline para niños He visto que tienes como opción para votar un curso de cuerda floja o slackline, ¿qué precio tienen? ¿Los niños guardan el equilibrio en ella o es complicado? Muchas gracias! Abel 3. Entrenamiento para bombero Buenas tardes Sergio: Lo primero enhorabuena, te descubrí a través de iVoox y ya no se me escapa un podcast. Decirte que yo también corro con zapatillas minimalistas desde hace 5 años, y que me ha cambiado, aparte de la forma de correr, incluso la forma de ver las cosas. Supongo que por el libro de nacidos para correr, del que alguna vez te he escuchado hablar. El caso es que he leído que te preparaste la oposición de bombero, y mi consulta era por ésto. Yo también la estoy preparando, para la oposición de bombero a la Comunidad de Madrid, y quería preguntarte un par de cosas sobre la cuerda y el press de banca. Cuerda: La entreno 2 veces por semana, haciendo primero unas subidas y luego dominadas y tirones a una mano en polea. Press banca: piden 55 repes con 40 kg, y también entreno 2 veces a la semana, intentando hacer series buscando tiempo. Por ejemplo series de 30" con descansos cortos, y cosas así. Y cada dos o tres semanas me hago un test. El último que hice conseguí 47 repes. Las físicas creo que van a ser en un mes o mes y medio. Muchas gracias por todo, enhorabuena, y un saludo. Chema. Subir la cuerda 4. GB, GMB y Animal Flow Yo estuve buscando opiniones de GB y la verdad es q no me encajaba mucho su enfoque. Me decidí por un curso de GMB que para empezar era más económico que los precios que comentas tú aquí. Con GMB estoy contenta, resulta bastante adaptable a niveles y flexible. Ahora estoy pensando en adquirir Elementos. Te felicito por el blog, poco a poco estas acumulando artículos muy interesantes:) no has pensado dedicar una sección a temas de movilidad/animal flow? En español apenas hay información para seguir desde casa para que los que no tenemos ni idea del asunto. Entrenando con el programa de Gymnastic Bodies 31.

Tengo tiempo (7 meses), me hago 10 estrictas y mi objetivo es llegar a 20, crees que podría llegar?? Mi cuestión es, si este programa es compatible con entrenar un poco de pecho, bíceps, hombro… en el gimnasio? Y otra cosa, entreno de dominadas sin lastre ni fuerza máxima?? Qué opinas de ello?

This is another jam-packed episode with Coach Chris Sommer, the former US national team gymnastics coach and founder of GymnasticBodies. As a world-renowned Olympic coach, Sommer is known for building his students into some of the strongest, most powerful athletes in the world. While this is a stand-alone episode, you can (and should!) check out his last appearance, which is one of the most popular podcast episodes. We cover a lot in this episode, including: What home equipment should someone invest in first (for $100 or less)? What are Coach Sommer's thoughts on weighted stretches? What does lower-body GST look like for a 40-year old former athlete? The best distinction between "mobility" and "flexibility." Exercise progressions for bar muscle-ups and most common mistakes in training for muscle-ups. Foam rolling or mobility tools: Do they have a place in GST? If so, favorite uses? How should taller people (say, over six feet tall) adjust GST? How should women adjust GST? And much, much more. Enjoy!

Seth Godin (@thisissethsblog) is the author of 17 bestselling books that have been translated into more than 35 languages. He writes about the way ideas spread, marketing, strategic quitting, leadership, and -- most of all -- challenging the status quo in all areas. His books include Linchpin, Tribes, The Dip, Purple Cow, and What to Do When it's Your Turn (and it's Always Your Turn). Seth has founded several companies, including Yoyodyne and Squidoo. His blog (which you can find by typing "Seth" into Google) is one of the most popular in the world. In 2013, Godin was inducted into the Direct Marketing Hall of Fame. Recently, Godin turned the book publishing world on its ear by launching a series of four books via Kickstarter. The campaign reached its goal in just three hours and became the most successful book project in Kickstarter history. His last episode was quite a bit longer and dug deep into his bio, routines, philosophies, and suggestions. This one is much shorter -- think of it as philosophical steroids. It may take a few minutes to get into, so be patient. Here, you'll find pithy, actionable things that you can implement, such has how to keep track of the right things and how to create a narrative that serves you best. It's very simple, but it's a foundational skill and mindset that I try to practice myself. This was a fantastic reminder. Please enjoy round two with Seth Godin!

Nicholas McCarthy (@NMcCarthyPiano) was born in 1989 without his right hand and only started to play the piano at the age of 14. He was told he would never succeed as a concert pianist. Fortunately, the doubters were wrong. His graduation from the prestigious Royal College of Music in London in 2012 appeared in press around the world, as he became the only one-handed pianist to graduate from the Royal College of Music in its 130-year history. Nicholas has now performed extensively throughout the world, including the U.K., U.S., South Africa, South Korea, Japan, Malta, and Kazakhstan. He has also played alongside Coldplay and given a rendition of the Paralympic Anthem in front of an audience of 86,000 people and half a billion worldwide viewers. His first album, entitled Solo (Warner Music) features 17 stunning pieces of left-hand repertoire spanning three centuries and has been released around the world to great acclaim.

Dr. Dominic "Dom" D'Agostino (@DominicDAgosti2) is an assistant professor in the Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology at the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine, and a senior research scientist at the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC). He has also deadlifted 500 pounds for 10 reps after a seven-day fast. Many of you sent enthusiastic follow-up questions after the last conversation we had, so Dom took the time to answer your most popular questions. In particular, he focused on ketosis, ketones, and the ketogenic diet -- so you can consider it the ketosis master class (especially if you combine both episodes, though this one does stand alone). It takes a few minutes for Dom to warm up -- so be patient! If you have an interest in these types of metabolic therapies, whether for performance enhancement, endurance, weight loss, or fighting cancer, diabetes, or any number of other maladies, you will find a gem within this episode.

I reached out to these Finnish entrepreneurs after a very talented acrobat introduced me to one of their products, which blew my mind (in the best way possible). It is mushroom coffee featuring chaga, which was introduced to me by Laird Hamilton, the king of big wave surfing. You just add the entire packet to hot water. It tastes like coffee, but there are only 40 milligrams of caffeine, so it's got less than half of what you would find in a regular cup of coffee. I do not get any jitters, acid reflux, or any type of stomach burn. It put me on fire for an entire day, and I only had half of the packet! People are always asking me what I use for cognitive enhancement -- right now, this is the answer.

Malcolm Gladwell (@gladwell) is the author of five New York Times bestsellers -- The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, What the Dog Saw, and David and Goliath. He has been named one of the 100 most influential people by TIME magazine and one of the Foreign Policy's Top Global Thinkers. He has explored how ideas spread in the Tipping Point, decision making in Blink, the roots of success in Outliers, and the advantages of disadvantages in his latest book David and Goliath. In his latest podcast project, Revisionist History, Gladwell examines the way the passage of time changes and enlightens our understanding of the world around us. In this in-depth, in-person conversation, we cover a ton, including: His research and writing process How he learned to ask good (and "dumb") questions Favorite books Routines, habits, and tools How he pulls together seemingly unrelated stories into a cohesive theme (and eventually a book) Philosophies related to public speaking His obsession with running Why he eats as little as possible in the mornings And much more...

This episode is a role-reversal. I flew to New York City and sat down with Stephen J. Dubner (@freakonomics) of Freakonomics fame. He proceeded to ask me all sorts of questions that I'd never heard before, and we recorded the entire thing. It was a blast. His team did an incredible job with post-production, and I wanted to share the conversation with all of you. You can learn more about Stephen J. Dubner and his team at Freakonomics.com, on Twitter, or you can subscribe to their show on iTunes.

If you loved the Pavel, Poliquin, or Dom D’Agostino episodes, you'll love this one. My guest this episode isChristopher Sommer (GymnasticBodies on Instagram/Facebook), former US national team gymnastics coach. He is also the founder of GymnasticBodies, a training system that I’m currently testing (and have no affiliation with). As a world-renowned Olympic coach, Sommer is known for building his students into some of the strongest, most powerful athletes in the world. During his extensive 40-year coaching career, Coach Sommer took meticulous notes on his training techniques—his wins and failures—so that he could translate the best elements into a superior exercise system for both high-level and beginner athletes. His four decades of careful observation led to the birth of Gymnastics Strength Training™ (or GST). In this episode, we cover A TON, including: The 3-5 exercises everyone should be doing (you’ve never heard of some of them) His opinions of kipping exercises, such as the kipping pull-ups common in CrossFit What bodyweight goals non-gymnasts should target Which exercises to remove from the gym entirely, at least in the first 6-12 months of training How to optimize biceps strength and mass with straight-arm work And much, much more... I also asked Coach Sommer to gather some interesting stuff (samples, videos, etc.) at gymnasticbodies.com/tim, so take a gander. I don’t get any compensation for any of it; I just want people to consider more bodyweight training. I’ve found it revelatory and mind-expanding. Enjoy!
