Podcasts about head sports performance coach

Host: Christopher L. Camp, M.D. Guest:  Andrea Hayden MS, RSCC - Sports Performance Coach Description:  The amount of “exercise” information, recommendations, plans, and opinions out there is greater than it's ever been. Although our increasing knowledge is generally helpful, it's easy to get lost in the rapidly evolving sea of information. This is particularly true because much of the information we hear is contradictory, and many people claim to have the perfect (and only) answer for us. Our goal for today is to help you cut through all of this noise and focus on what you really need to know to establish a successful workout routine for yourself. The three big questions we will tackle in this episode are: 1) What is meant by an “ideal” or “optimal” workout plan? 2) How do I make sense of all the exercise recommendations out there? 3) What do I need to do to create an ideal exercise routine for my needs? To help us answer these questions, my guest today is the Head Sports Performance Coach for the Minnesota Lynx WNBA Basketball Team, Andrea Hayden MS, RSCC.

They’ve got a couple others: Ken Ravizza works in the baseball setting a lot, but he’s been in other settings as well. To me, that’s that core group that does an absolute fantastic job [regarding mental toughness].” 26:47“US Lacrosse has been fantastic, I mean they’re really open to it and it’s great for us, great for them, great for the NSCA.” 36:45“We want to help people grow—that’s what it’s all about, you know, and if we want to do that, we’ve got to connect to people.” 37:35“If you can’t find something that’ll help you grow as a professional, you’re not really looking very hard at that point.” 41:34“There’s always something to gain and something to grow from no matter what presentation you sit in.” 41:40

"When I was reading this, I was relating back to moments when I played and getting into that (flow) state; I remember this sort of quiet calmness where I would have these conversations in my head and everything else was in slow motion." Devan McConnell, Head Sports Performance Coach at University of Massachusetts at Lowell is on to talk about The Rise of Superman. From the publisher: In this groundbreaking book, New York Times–bestselling author Steven Kotler decodes the mystery of ultimate human performance. Drawing on over a decade of research and first-hand reporting with dozens of top action and adventure sports athletes like big wave legend Laird Hamilton, big mountain snowboarder Jeremy Jones, and skateboarding pioneer Danny Way, Kotler explores the frontier science of “flow,” an optimal state of consciousness in which we perform and feel our best. Building a bridge between the extreme and the mainstream, The Rise of Superman explains how these athletes are using flow to do the impossible and how we can use this information to radically accelerate performance in our own lives. At its core, this is a book about profound possibility; about what is actually possible for our species; about where—if anywhere—our limits lie.

This week’s guest is Adam Feit, Director of Sports Performance for Reach Your Potential Training (RYPT) and master class coach at Precision Nutrition.  Adam has worked at every level of physical preparation, from youth up to the professional level.  He also created the Complete Jumps Training System for coaches. I had heard of Adam, not only through the Complete Jumps product, but also through Ken Clark’s mentioning of the unique speed training approach at RYPT, as well as seeing great tweets on Adam’s coaching ideals down at a seminar at ALTIS. This podcast revolves around Adam’s philosophies on speed and jump development, particularly in young athletes.  Many of my guests are high level track and field coaches, or performance coaches who work largely with collegiate and professional athletes.   Adam has not only that experience, but also has years of training developmental athletes.  As Curtis Taylor of Oregon mentioned in a previous podcast, the more age groups in the sport you can work with, the better coach you become. Adam is a great guy to talk to about jump training.  After doing a podcast with Lee Taft, and looking more into everything Lee does on speed (have an intimate understanding of game movement, and build that outward into speed work), it makes good sense to take the same care with jumping and its relation to team sport movement.  One of Adam’s unique exercise models is in the realm of hybrid jump training, which unlocks a new world of physical prep possibility. Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more. Key Points: Adam’s background in the coaching field Approaches to teaching acceleration and speed to young athletes The value of training top end speed for team sport athletes The biggest need in jump training in athletic populations Progressing an athlete from absorbing force to reactive plyometrics Hybrid jump training, and its role in team sport training Adam’s top three exercises to improve vertical jump in high school athletes Quotes: “We focus so much on acceleration, but we neglect to train body position” “The biggest need in jump training for youth athletes is absorption of force and eccentric control.  When it comes to jumping, it is their ability to land from that jump” “In our speed program, whether it’s a linear lateral or multi directional day, we’re always going to end with some element of training with a reactive base, or chaotic base, or competitive drill” “What I notice from these guru trainers (and plyometrics) is that they are doing too much, too soon, and too often” “Before I jump up, what’s my arm position like?  Am I being reactive with my arm swing.” “Before we do any jump, we do some type of double arm snap down…. we want to make sure we get that rhythm and timing down first” “We do a snap down, we move that into a box jump, and we move that box jump into a depth drop or altitude drop.  We don’t do any landings higher than 18” in our facility” “We do it in (preparation for) lifting, if you are Olympic lifting you do some sort of complex work in your warmup, if your squatting you might do some corrective goblet squat work or landmine work, why are we not doing that with jumping?” “How can we better prepare our athletes for landing on one leg, that was one thing we wanted to improve with the hybrid training” “Where we see the transfer of the rotational and lateral jumping (in hybrid jumping) is in change of direction” About Adam Feit Adam Feit is the Director of Sports Performance for Reach Your Potential Training and is responsible for the design and implementation of the center's sports performance programs. Before joining the Carolina Panthers, Adam served as the Head Sports Performance Coach for Eastern Michigan University in 2010-2011.
