My guest this month is Adam Vogel. Coach Vogel works at Homewood Flossmoor High School, which is a southern suburb of Chicago. At HF he is in charge of not only strength and conditioning, but is also the department chair for PE, health, and drivers Ed. He is also the Illinois state director for the NHSSCA. We sit down and talk about his transition from his previous school Bradley-Bourbannais, to his current role at HF. Coach Vogel then gives us some great insight into his multi-layered programming. Other topics we discussed include how he makes choices on technologies to add, as well as how he manages his large workload and schedule. Enjoy!

In the second hour, Dan Bernstein and Laurence Holmes were joined by 670TheScore.com writer Chris Emma to discuss the latest on the hazing scandal within the Northwestern football program, and why Pat Fitzgerald cannot remain in his role as coach. The guys then discussed why the White Sox dropping 2 of 3 in their weekend series against the Cardinals has effectively ended any hope that the team could win the American League Central division. Later, during the "High Noon" segment, Bernstein discussed his experience playing Erin Hills Golf Course with his son over the weekend and Holmes discussed Homewood-Flossmoor phenom Dillon Head being drafted No. 25 by the Padres in the 2023 MLB Draft.

Today's podcast features track and speed coach, Chris Korfist.  Chris has been a high school coach in track and football for 3 decades with close to 100 All-State athletes.  He is currently the sprints coach at Homewood Flossmoor high school in Chicago, owns the "Slow Guy Speed School”, and has consulted with professional sports teams all over the world, including the NFL, MLB, NBA, and Rugby League.  Chris has been a favorite podcast guest on this show and is constantly evolving and innovating his methods. Sprinting is a simple, yet complex topic, and one that requires a continual analysis of mechanics, exercises and training models.  There are many ways to train athletes, and with this in mind, it's important to understand the “first principles” of any training system.  With many first principles taken from the brilliance of the “DB Hammer” training ideals, Chris has steadily evolved his training system, year over year, to the place where it is today. This past season, Homewood Flossmoor won the Illinois state track championship, and won the 4x100m and 4x200m dashes on their way to the title.  Chris's adjustments to his speed training models worked well, with some athletes chopping off a second or more off of their 200m times from the previous year. On the podcast today, Chris starts by talking about his mental training approach, and some unique mental training elements of this past year's team.  He then gets into the main changes he utilized this past training year, including reducing the speed endurance component of the work, and replacing it with some potent “AN2” bracket (30-40 second) specialized training for the sprints.  Chris also goes into how he would specialize the exercises for sprinters of different archetypes (stompers vs. slicers) and much more.

Timestamps and Main Points: 2:40 – How the state track meet went for Chris's team this year, including a 41.03s 4x100m time and a state championship 7:08 – Updates on mental strategies for racing, and building mental highlight tapes for athletes prior to meets 20:49 – Some main changes that Chris made this year in his programming that proved successful in the team's state championship performance 30:12 – Using the 1080 sprint for slow-speed iso-kinetic hamstring work to improve the injury resilience factor of the muscle group 33:53 – The specificity of the “AN2” (30-40 second) bracket of work for the special exercises that Chris's athletes were performing 41:15 – “Stompers” vs. “Slicers” and how to train the weakness of each athlete 47:10 – Water bag training and the role of the trunk/core and arms in sprinting 49:33 – Hip flexor training and strength in speed development, and usage of the hip swing exercise 54:19 – How to use primetimes and flexed leg bounds in speed development 1:01:04 – Training frequency throughout the year, and how this was a lower frequency year for Chris's athletes 1:06:49 – Final thoughts on working strengths vs. weaknesses, and when to stop trying to bring up weaknesses in a training year Chris Korfist Quotes “(The highlight/motivational videos for the kids) It's just this constant feedback that you are all of that” “This year, instead of goals, I had them focus on telling their story” “Our self-talk this year became a story: This is where I came from, this is what I did, this is where I'm going; Tying in history and tying in stories to your self talk is really powerful, because as humans we all want a story”

On this weeks episode I sat down with Homewood- Flossmoor's jumps Coach Rob Assise. Jumping can be a game changer when we employ it in an intelligent manner. Jumping can teach one how to have a positive relationship with the ground and if we make the ground our friend we can begin to interact with it in more intense and dynamic manners. Force production is the name of the game, we discuss Impulse and the different manners in which one can increase impulse. A natural flow begins to emerge that can be beneficial for teaching athletes how to produce force and build a positive relationship with the ground. One can increase impulse by a) spending more time on the ground b)producing higher peak force c) increase in RFD. Chaining together these three different variables can help build competency, intensity, and help build towards the display of force within the unique time constraints of a given athletic competition. Coach Assise shares his intake process and how he examines a given athletes jump profile. I really like the rationale that he presents stating that he often likes to watch how athletes sprint. This makes a lot of sense as sprinting will force the athletes body to choose what it deems to be most desirable under shortened time constraints for force production. Some athletes may be more hinge based, while other athletes may be more squatty in their movements, coach Assise shares that he likes to build around what athletes bring to the table. A common thread throughout the conversation is the need for individualization, especially when dealing with higher intensity jumps. Coach Assise shares that in his experience jumps tend to be much more variable than sprint programming. It's important to find a level of proficiency where an athlete can exhibit the desired intensity. Coach Assise, states that by identifying an athletes capabilities at a given intensity he can build back to more rudimentary skills that will help build the athletes jump profile.

Today’s episode (part I of II) is actually three talks in one show, featuring segments with Jeremy Frisch, Rob Assise, and Dr. Tommy John. In our current world situation, many have found themselves without our typical training structures.  This can be anything from not having a team, or partners, to train with anymore, a lack of gym space, and a lack of a training equipment in general.  It’s times like these that, although tough, can allow us to shave things down, to the essentials of how we are training, and perhaps more importantly, why we are training in the first place.  Each of our guests have had one or multiple appearances on the show before and were those who have a unique perspective on getting to the core essentials of training and movement. Jeremy Frisch is a former NCAA D1 strength coach who is now the owner of Achieve Performance in Clinton, Massachusetts.  He is a leader in youth training and play, as well as all-around performance coach who works with athletes of all levels.   Jeremy not only coaches physical prep methods, but is also involved in team sport coaching on the youth level. Rob Assise is a teacher and track coach at Homewood-Flossmoor high school who has written some fantastic articles (How I Deal with the Restrictions of COVID-19 and One Man’s Dive Into Extreme Isometrics) on his use of “Extreme Isometrics” in his at-home workouts, a topic of which we went into detail on for today’s show. Dr. Tommy John is a chiropractor, author and performance coach who is no stranger to this show.  Tommy has an awesome ability to blend health, training and big-picture ideas into a powerful message in our own performance.  His workout, training style, and overall message is one that brings out our true power as human beings. 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. Timestamps and Main Points 3:45 Jeremy Frisch’s take on how COVID19 is bringing children back to a more natural mode of play, albeit in context of current restrictions 8:50  The difference between movement and exercise for children, and when they are mature enough to make that distinction 13:35 Jeremy’s own workouts, and what he does to train in his basement gym setup 21:40  What Rob’s workout is looking like with his own daily schedule 29:45  How using extreme ISO’s offers good benefits for endurance of speed and strength qualities to athletes 35:00  Tommy John’s workouts and how they haven’t really changed much since quarantines 45:45  The importance of cultivating a creative practice in coaching 54:00  The inner meaning behind why we train, and the distinction between playing and training Quotes  “(kids) Riding bikes has been brought back from the ashes, which is nice to see” “I feel there is a silver lining, because of some of the things that are happening out in the world, we have to go back to what we were doing when we were kids” “While moving is great for kids, they don’t have the maturity to understand what exercise really is” “I felt like I could feel the (cycling of energy systems) in the last minute, or minute an a half of a lunge.  It’s something you have to try and see” “I hated doing the 5 minute ISO lunge while I was doing it, but afterwards I felt completely at peace.  I never regretted it afterwards” “(After doing 5 minute ISO lunges 11x a week) playing “old man basketball”, flat out, I just did not get tired.  I was able to go as hard as I could, for pretty much the whole game” “My training has not changed much, but my miles in walking have” Dr. Tommy John “We’re all artists, whether it’s programming or bringing in information in a creative way” “I love walking because it’s an ever-changing environment, it’s outside… there’s different people, there’s different flowers, there’s different shades of light… it’s almost like a movi...

Welcome to Dussé and Backwoods, the bougie ebonics podcast. I'm your host TUNDEEEEEE!! Aka Chocolate Papí aka TunGotJokes Twitter/IG/FB: @Tungotjokes www.actritelosangeles.com In this episode we are joined by tattoo artist, painter, entrepreneur, & Chicago native Katrina Jackson (@kattatgirl) a.k.a " Kat Tat!!!" Kat is widely known for her role on the popular VH1 reality series "Black Ink Crew - Chicago" and now she has transitioned to Los Angeles where she has ventured independently to open up her up own tattoo parlor @EnigmaBeverlyHills. We begin our discussion strolling down memory lane. Tunde and Kat reminisce on their high school years at Homewood-Flossmoor in Chicago, IL and tell us about some of the wildest things they've witnessed during that time. Kat gives us a little background on how she developed the passion for tattooing during her senior year in high school. She talks a little about people not taking her seriously initially but she was driven to make a name for herself through the art. During her freshman year at the University of Missouri, she became known as Kat Tat Girl around campus. She mentions how before she found her passion, she was always "little sis" or "Jared's girlfriend," and through her creativity she forged her own identity. Having been in Los Angeles for two years, she still goes back to Chicago to visit family and talks about the transition from leaving Black Ink Crew and the opportunities that have presented themselves to her afterward. Her shop took 3 months to build from a burned down building to a brand new tattoo shop on Pico.

Today’s episode features Rob Assise, track and field coach at Homewood-Flossmoor High School in the greater Chicago area.  Rob has been an accomplished writer in the last year, and has been a highly successful coach on the track and field level. His progressive workouts have netted him great success, as Homewood-Flossmoor has been a force on the state track and field level in Illinois.   Specifically for Just Fly Sports, Rob has written “10 Low-Hanging Fruits to Grab for Optimal Performance”.  He has also been a speaker for one of the mecca’s of track and field training, the Track-Football Consortium, and will be speaking at the next iteration this June.   Like Tony Holler, Rob has gone from a more volume oriented approach that he trained under, to a more progressive, low volume approach that more and more track coaches are utilizing, not only to help athletes to new personal bests, but also to make track and field more fun and engaging for the athlete.   To me, it is both Rob’s knowledge and creativity that make him someone I love to sit down and talk training with. One of the biggest game changers for me that Rob mentioned was doing curvilinear sprints for his track and field jumpers, which is just the tip of the iceberg in the many cutting edge methods he employs with his athletes.   On today’s podcast, Rob talks about his background, training philosophy, speed and plyometric methods, weightroom concepts, the “constraint based” jump training system (a real gem) and more. 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: Rob's background as an athlete and in track and field coaching Rob’s coaching philosophy and how it has transformed over the years Nuts and bolts of Rob’s training phases and managing lots of sprinters in a group with athletes of different abilities, as well as how to do a flying 10 workout with 60 kids and one set of timing gates Peaking plans going into championship meets Rob’s ideas on the perfect world of yearly training throughout multiple sport play in a high school setting Rob’s plyometric utilization for his jumpers Weightroom concepts for Rob’s athletes A “constraints based” approach to jumps training Quotes: “I really had to sell workouts to athletes (doing high volume sprint training).. only half of the athletes would be really engaged.  I was looking for ways to get everybody engaged” “When it comes to peaking, it’s all about “what makes you feel awesome”” “Every week I try to do something in the frontal plane that is ankle based (for high jumpers)” “My long and triple jumpers will do plyometrics on a curve” “If you just focus on the sagittal plane, that’s ok, but if we can incorporate the transverse and frontal plane as well that creates a more stable athlete” “I like doing resisted sprint work where the arms are free, that is the ideal” “Speed drllls are overblown… we do them, but if you’re doing more than 15 or 20 minutes of it in a warmup, you are better off using your time somewhere else” About Rob Assise Rob Assise is a mathematics teacher and track coach at Homewood-Flossmoor High School. He also has experience coaching football and cross country. He can be reached via e-mail at robertassise@gmail.com or Twitter @HFJumps.

How do you call two White Sox games and one college football game over a thousand miles away in less than 24 hours? Ask Jason Benetti. The versatile broadcaster came on the podcast to talk with Chuck Garfien about his crazy journey over the weekend when he called a White Sox/Royals game, flew to Tallahasse overnight to broadcast the Florida State/N-C State football game the following day and then returned that evening to Chicago to be on the mic for the White Sox/Royals once again. Benetti takes us inside his weekend, which was actually much wilder than anybody thought. Then Jason talks about the White Sox futures of both Jose Abreu and Avisail Garcia, and when Eloy Jimenez might make his White Sox debut. Benetti and Garfien, who both went to Homewood-Flossmoor High School close the podcast expressing their desires to go back to their roots and call a Homewood-Flossmoor basketball game this winter.
