Welcome episode 3 of The Untapped Potential Podcast with today's guest Keir Wenham-Flatt Anyone who knows Keir will know he has some strong perspectives with regard to performance sport, which is why I wanted to bring his voice to the podcast. Keir has a vast amount of experience as a strength & conditioning coach across many elite environments, most notably in professional rugby. From NRL, Argentina Rugby, & Japanese Rugby, and stints at American universities. He also founded, built and now sold the very successful Strength Coach Network. However, this is NOT why I wanted to talk with him. What You'll Learn In this episode, we dive into the non-technical aspects of performance. We discuss some of Keir's struggles in his career, how he's navigated his struggles and what he sees as the next steps we need to take as practitioners to evolve our environments into ones that utilise our full potential. This is a side of Keir you may not have seen before, which is why I feel it's a powerful episode of the Untapped Potential Podcast. Talking Points: Keir's inner drivers that lead him into a career in pro sport The achievement feedback loop His struggles with low self-esteem and how he's overcome that The non-technical attributes he has developed in his own journey of self-growth What non-technical attributes he empowers the practitioners and coaches in SCN to develop The 4 P's of job selection How practitioners can create freedom to choose their working environment Where do we go from here?

Strength and Conditioning coaches here in the states will soon be doing their GPP phase in 4-6 weeks. Is this something that ALL athletes need? If so, do they all need the same amount of time in the GPP phase? For instance can your most refined lifters only do 1 week of GPP? Research would indicate they can. This is something that Nick DiMarco and I advocated when we were at Iowa Football together.

On this episode of the podcast we have the man the myth the twitter troll Keir Wenham-Flatt – Keir is a former strength coach where he used his expertise in the field to found The Strength Coach Network an educational platform for all things Strength Coaches after years of educating strength coaches he continually came back to the question “what do they actually need” and realized “Financial Freedom” was the biggest missing link in their professional and personal lives - which has led to his current creation of The Strength Coach Money Moves Course and today on the podcast he takes us deep down into the rabbit holes of how to make money moves – why the field is struggling to do so and actional steps to develop this freedom we are all searching for! This was an amazing podcast with a true inspiration to me in this field and I can't recommend his course enough. I took it almost a year ago now and it changed the way I looked at my business. The best I can describe it is the First three weeks covered everything I smashed my head against the wall learning for 5 years in the field – the next three weeks showed me what I need to be doing for these next 5 and the last three weeks showed me just where I could take this thing when it's all said and done – I really truly can't recommend it enough - if you are looking for more information on the course I added a link to take it in the bio of this pod!

Topics The college strength coaching system is flawed and doesn't reward performance. It's about politics and climbing the ladder. To have freedom and escape coercion, you need independent wealth and assets that produce cashflow. Online training requires constant entertainment and sizzle to keep people engaged long-term. Can't just rely on results. True innovations in sports training get banned or regulated. Incremental improvements are all that's left. You have to grab attention on social media, even if it outrages some. Better than indifference. Keir realized the college system didn't reward performance. It was political and about climbing the ladder. He tried to win the game but eventually wanted more freedom and optionality. Realized he needed independent wealth from assets and cashflow, not a salary. Keir started educating coaches online to solve problems he saw. Realized improving education wasn't the fastest way. Making money was the real issue. Online training requires entertainment and sizzle over time, not just results. True innovations get banned or regulated. All that's left is incremental improvements. Need fields like tech where 10x improvements are possible, unlike human performance. Better to evoke strong reactions on social media than be ignored. Outrage and entertainment grabs more attention. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/austin-jochum/support

A repeat guest on the #GPP? Now that's an honor bestowed upon a rare group. Project Pat said it best "real recognize real" and @rugby_strength_coach is as real as they come. Keir joined us for an episode all about making money in an industry where scraping by is the norm: Strength and Conditioning. We want to thank Keir for coming on again and enlightening the people on a subject that isn't often talked about. In a field where you often hear "put your head down and grind" or "you can survive on PB&J" it's helpful to have someone like Keir to discuss alternative streams of revenue so that you can at least afford the Jif Double Chunky Peanut Butter. 4:37 - Gunshow says “cheugy” now comment below and tell her to stop 4:45 - All that is new in the world of Keir 11:04 - The strength coach career arc reimagined 21:24 - Finding, mastering, and dominating your side hustle 38:57 - The sage texts that were the source of Keir's monetary enlightenment 48:02 - The “debate” with the infamous Doc Joel Seed Man 56:51 - Running a business: time spent IN vs ON the business Keir's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rugby_strength_coach/ Strength Coach Network's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/strength_coach_network/ Strength Coach Network Website: https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/ Sign Up Today: https://strengthcoachnetwork.securechkout.com/monthly/ Ryan's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_squatfather/ Annie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anniegunshow/
Today's show is with sports performance coaches Nick DiMarco and Keir Wenham-Flatt. Nick DiMarco is the director of sports performance at Elon University. He is a leader in the NCAA University coaching system in the realms of high performance ideology. As a former professional athlete (NY Jets and Baltimore Ravens outside linebacker in 2014), Nick is well versed in the intuitive aspects of what it takes to be a high achieving athlete. Keir Wenham-Flatt is a strength and conditioning coach and educator. He has a background in American football and experience within professional rugby for nearly a decade in five different countries: the U.K., Australia, China, Japan, and Argentina. Keir is the founder of the Strength Coach Network and Rugby Strength Coach, and has been a prominent figure in coaching education. Both coaches have been prior guests on the podcast, speaking on topics ranging from perception-reaction and training transfer, to mental resiliency. The art of preparing athletes in team sport goes far beyond strength development, and even linear speed. Knowing which elements of physical preparation are the “lowest hanging fruit” for each athlete, and how to appropriately progress them through their careers is a trademark of an experienced and thoughtful coach. Many athletes in college football will barely improve in speed versus their high school abilities, especially after their first year of college strength training. On the show today, Nick and Keir will get into the finer points of off-season and pre-season training for American football, and how to place players in training priority groups based on need, such as strength, speed, or body mass-composition factors. They also speak on how to utilize auto-regulation to make the process of maintaining (or improving) performance factors as quickly as humanly possible. Finally, topics of specific conditioning means and methods to meet the demands of the game are discussed in depth, and particularly in how collision sports differ from contact sports in this regard.

Timestamps and Main Points 5:15 – Off-season and pre-season training emphasis in American football physical preparation 16:36 – Nick's different programs and “buckets” for various needs of his NCAA football athletes 22:11 – How to auto-regulate strength, power and speed markers once an athlete already has the pre-requisite levels of maximal strength for their sport 38:58 – Thoughts on the demands of long-drives and the extreme ends of game speed-endurance and its impacts on how coaches should go about a conditioning program 48:24 – Keir and Nick talking about the “Robustness Bucket” in working with athlete populations 56:10 – How Keir and Nick steer training into reactive game-speed oriented tasks as the pre-season nears “Why do they break in camp? It's not from a lack of exposure to heavy weight-training” Wenham-Flatt “Ask yourself, “What do you get most tired doing, what do you do most often, what is tied most to the outcome of the game?” that is the stuff that you need to be a master of, and robust to, in context of your position” Wenham-Flatt “With regard to the developmental stuff, where-ever possible, the answer would be auto-regulation; if you are auto-regulating every set in a target ability, you are hitting the maximum productive value of that session” Wenham-Flatt “There are anthropometric barriers to entry you must clear as you if you want to thrive in your position, and they go up, as the levels go up” Wenham-Flatt “1RM barbell strength is going to transfer to explosive movement to a point, and it's lower than people think” Wenham-Flatt “I think one of the reasons most athletes make a lot of progress early on,

Today’s episode features Erik Korem and Keir Wenham-Flatt. Erik Korem is the associate athletic director for student athlete high-performance and Keir Wenham-Flatt is the coordinator of football performance. Erik and Keir are a veritable all-star team of athletic development, with knowledge spanning all arenas of performance that transfers to the field. Erik brings nearly two decades of national expertise to his current position at William and Mary at the professional and collegiate levels, most recently, serving as the Director of Sports Science for the National Football League's Houston Texans, and previously, the high-performance coordination at the University of Kentucky football. Keir has extensive experience in rugby physical preparation, and recently has expanded his repertoire to American football and University Olympic sports in his employment in the USA, in addition to his founding of rugbystrengthcoach.com. As we’ve talked about on other shows, strength, and even speed, is only a part of the equation on preparing athletes to be their best on the day of competition (albeit, an important part). This podcast goes in depth on how Erik and Keir approach those two facets of performance from a perspective of maximal efficiency and effectiveness. The show expands to more “global” topics of high performance which includes the specificity of “mental toughness” and performance in high-pressure situations, as well as the role of emotional state in long-term sport success. We also cover ideas regarding a global model (James Smith’s book “Governing Dynamics” is a big one here) of sport training that can help synchronize sport and strength coaches in their combined efforts. We also get into the data provided by GPS, focusing on how team speed readings are an indicator of the flow of game play. 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 Erik and Keir’s thoughts on agility and change of direction training on the field of play The use of maximal speed training for the sake of injury prevention in American football How GPS and game speed and acceleration can be a significant factor in looking at the strategy of how a football game is played How Erik and Keir utilize athlete performance logs and wellness readings The specificity of “toughness” and resilience in high pressure and over-time play situations How the “Governing Dynamics of Sport” is impacting conversations that Erik and Keir are having with the sport coaches at their university The importance of mental and emotional factors and sport success, especially at higher levels Year to year progressions in strength training for athletes for maximal long-term development Quotes “You can have two athletes in the same position, with different physical gifts who solve a problem with two different means, and what we try and do is provide them with a guided learning environment to discover what works (for change of direction in a game like setting)” Wenham-Flatt “How many times do you have to see an elite athlete do something that’s “wrong” before you understand that they are probably doing it the right way” Wenham-Flatt “There are three ways to win warfare: More force, more speed, or misdirection… when everybody is different, everybody is going to be naturally geared towards solving sport problems by different means. The less you have of one thing, the more you need of the others” Wenham-Flatt “For the most part we are getting guys to that 90% (sprinting in season) threshold or greater, our skills and our mid-skill positions” Korem “In games, it’s not always great to say “oh! We had all these players run over X amount of speed” because it could mean that they are chasing somebody” Korem “Bryan Mann released a paper this year from his days at Mizzou,

Today’s episode features UK physical preparation coach Sam Portland. Sam has been a strength coach on the elite level for nearly a decade, working with premiership rugby, Olympians, and international competitors ranging from hockey to track and field. He was first introduced to me by Keir Wenham-Flatt in our podcast together, where Keir mentioned Sam’s experience with “speed gate golf”. Sam is a forward thinking coach who got started in the coaching game very early and has a knack for the intuition of developing athletes. In speed gate golf, Sam found a method, not only to essentially eliminate injuries from his speed training program, but also get athletes faster than they have ever been in the process. I’m very interested in the ideas of getting faster and jumping higher without “trying as hard” and I think nothing speaks to that more firmly than studies like Rewzon’s famous (at least in terms of how often I use it) long jump study where jumpers who jumped to “targets” in the landing pit that were not necessarily their maximal distance, would jump further in the end than jumpers who jumped as far as they could every leap. Sam has taken this idea into speed training in a creative way that helped field sport athletes (rugby) get some tremendous results, and this method is a motor learning gem that can speak volumes to physical preparation, track and sport coaches alike. 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 Sam’s background as an athlete and what got him into the physical preparation field The birth of “speed gate golf” and how it was able to get athletes very fast while minimizing injuries How Sam changed his language in the weightroom to improve the athletic development quality of it How Sam would program speed into the context of sport coaching if he were a sport coach in a “Global Dynamics” of coaching model “If you look at coaching, we are academics in a kinesthetic world” “Every time speed gates come out in professional environment people get hurt (pull hamstrings)” “(By doing sprint and technical drills through the gates) their feedback loop is always positive” “(In speed gate golf) It became a really competitive game because people wanted to run slow, instead of all wanting to run fast, the goal was to run slow, but run slow technically well” “(In speed gate golf) We used rank-record-publish” “(Using speed gate golf) We didn’t have a hamstring, calf, groin issue at all out of 28 players, and we were knocking boys down into the 10 meters into low 1.6’s” “Any time a guy ran a 2 second 10 (submaximal, accurate running), there was a picture of me and him shaking hands going on my Instagram” “From there, we just built our process of intensification, they’ve showed me that they respect it and understand it…. we just took our rhythm from our a-skip drills and bounds and put that into the gates… show me your a-skip, show me the bound, and now just speed it up a little bit” “Speed gate golf is a 2 second day in trainers… we’d go back to those extensive qualities, then we’d go to intensive qualities” “When you start looking as training as an organism in response to oxygen, then you are going to go a long way” “(In regards to relaxation) Athletes always want to be “on”… nah…. be “off”” About Sam Portland @coach_sportland Sam Portland has been a strength and conditioning coach at the elite level for nearly a decade with a vast array of experience. Sam has worked with premiership rugby, Olympic athletes, international competitors across a plethora of sports including hockey and track and field. Aside from this Sam keeps in touch with the grass roots aspects of athlete preparation by hosting his ‘combine program’. This program is a long term athletic developme...

Today’s episode features Keir Wenham-Flatt, physical preparation coach and founder of rugbystrengthcoach.com. Keir is currently a strength and conditioning specialist at the College of William and Mary who has worked with professional teams on 4 different continents. He is particularly well versed in physical preparation for rugby, but has experience with training in many different sports and schools of movement. Keir is brilliant with the dynamics of team and field sport training, and getting training to be maximally effective within the confines of the game. A theme of this podcast is finding transfer to sport in training, and not just leaving a season at “I got the athlete stronger” so I did my job. With all the motor learning theory and ideas on training coordination specific to sport play, there is so much to learn and implement in this realm. In today’s episode, Keir talks about the essentials of speed building, conditioning and mental toughness as it relates to team sport play, which is a totally different ballgame (literally) than running a 40 yard dash or the 200m in track. As coaches, we are always searching for ways to make our training more effective and this episode with Keir delivers on many levels. Keir also gives his take on the health/performance spectrum in working with team sport athletes, as well as his use of grappling in training collision sport athletes. For those track coaches out there, even if you don’t work with team sport athletes, Keir's take on “stress inoculation” of timed sprints for team sport athletes, including “speed gate golf” which bears some similarity to doing variable jumps that I’ve talked about in the past, is something I’m sure you’ll find fascinating. 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: Keir’s idea on “coordination” training for field sports How to go about approaching speed and movement in light of the principles of coordination and being robust Using sport specific external stimuli in the speed and movement preparation of team sport athletes Keir’s use of grappling to train athletes in contact or collision sports Facets of measuring linear velocity in team sport athletes and how it is different than game speed “Stress Inoculation” of linear speed work for team sport players What mental toughness really is and how to train it Keir’s take on the health versus performance spectrum in sport performance as well as Keir’s take on utilizing Mladen Jovanovic’s agile periodization system “Things which are anti-fragile thrive in unpredictable environments… if you think about all the variables in the team based sports, they are highly volatile” “Extreme specialization is the enemy of robustness” “The four phases for us are: closed environment attractors, then we go into more of an open environment with variable conditions, flucutators. Then we put them in strict drills where we are shaping the task where without knowing it you need to demonstrate the behavior I want to see and solve a problem, then lastly we are going to put you in a highly contextual environment, a team environment when you have to execute in the conditions of the game” “If you don’t consider the variables of team strategy, your training is general specific at best (3rd tier of the Bondarchuk System!)” “(Regarding sprint and movement drills) There has to be risk, there has to be relevance, there has to be a challenge in order to grab your attention. If there is no learning there is no adaptation” “(Regarding sprint and movement drills) For me, I change surfaces, I change body positions, I change start positions, I will change center of gravity” “You are never going to be running in a perfect straight line in a closed environment in team sports,

One of rugby’s top strength and conditioning coaches, Keir Wenham-Flatt, uses his vast academic learnings and years of experience to explain what is necessary to prepare athletes for speed and power sports — on this episode of The OPEX Podcast.
“It’s a fact that every new exercise, every amount of frequency, every amount of intensity, every amount of volume, has a limited ability to elicit adaptation within the athlete. Every time we use it we have begun on the path to reaching a point of zero return, or diminishing return.” This My Thoughts Monday is brought to you by GymAware, the leading tool to measure your athlete’s weight room performance. Learn more about “The Rolls Royce” of bar velocity monitoring here: https://kinetic.com.au/gymaware.html For this weeks My Thoughts Monday brings Keir Wenham-Flatt, gives us the five most imprortant reasons why to implement the minimal amount of stress necessary to your athlete’s in their training. These five are: 1) Prioritizing the stuff that matters 2) Long term adaptation in the program 3) Maximizing potential upside vs minimizing potential downside 4) “Wiggle Room” 5) Intensity Mr. Rugby Strength Coaches dives down each of these rabbit holes. He shares where he sees each of these fitting in and how, when looking at these, coaches can be more successful in the development of their athletes. ENJOY THE CONTENT?
