Podcast appearances and mentions of matt caraccio

My guest today is Matt Caraccio!For the last 6 years, Matt has been the Co-Owner and Co-Host of the Saturday2Sunday Football Podcast. His podcast is dedicated to year round NFL prospect analysis & discussion. During that time Matt has hosted three Summer Seminar Series on Skill Acquisition in American Football -those include The Nature of the Movement Problems in American Football", "The Player Problem-Solver Paradigm in American Football", and "Movement Marvels in American Football". In each of these unique series Matt was fortunate enough to have an array of football coaches, skill acquisition coaches, academics, sports psychologists and former players come together from across the community to share their unique perspectives and insights on these topics. More recently Matt has been developing a series of videos entitled "Unraveling Skill" on the Saturday2Sunday YouTube Channel. In each of these videos Matt explains and applies his Player Problem-Solver Evaluative Lens (PPSEL) to the evaluation of current NFL players and future prospects.Matthew Caraccio has been a High School Mathematics Teacher and Sports Coach for the last 20 years. Matt has developed and taught high school courses in both Sports Analytics & Sports Management. In addition, Matt has coached athletes across various sports including Basketball, Baseball and American Footbal..Matt's diverse background gives a very unique look at sport movement, which comes across strongly during the episode The impetus for this episode was a tweet from someone I know in high school coaching about how players who don't fit certain “molds” if you will, often get overlooked…we dive into that topic and much more, including the following:How Matt views athletes as problem solvers What reframing player evaluation in American Football How when we evaluate film, we must look strongly at context How looking at athletes as a complex system , can help us understand their behavior on the field betterHow brining a “pro model” to youth sports may not be such a goo idea How context drives content during player evaluation We discuss correlation, or lack of correlation b/t combine performance and length of NFL careers Guys this episode a lot of fun.  Matt is a super smart guy and really does great job trying to bring a different lens to scouting….I encourage all of you to follow him on social media and listen to his podcast, which I will link to in the show notesThanks for joining us today, enjoy the show!__________________________________Matt's Contact Info:Saturday2Sunday Football Podcast Website Matt's TwitterSaturday2Sunday Twitter As always, if you have any questions or ideas for future episodes, feel free to contact me:Email: javier@igniteperformance.net Instagram: @thecoachjavtwitter: @thecoachjav

Skills acquisition training and coach Ross Cooper joins Matt Waldman's RSP Cast for an in-depth conversation on how to make sense of the training videos, what goes into effective training, and examples of NFL players who are executing as problem solvers at the highest level.  This might have been the fastest hour of conversation I've had to date on an RSP Cast. Ross Cooper (@GorillaMyscles) is a skills acquisition trainer, coach, and recruiter in Texas. I first heard about Ross from listening to Matt Caraccio's Saturday2Sunday Skills Acquisition Series that he's hosted for the past two summers. I immediately connected with what he was saying and over the years, we've had occasional conversations that only reinforced that working bond. Recently, I've been thinking about the number of videos I see on Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter where trainers are showing how they are working with clients—high school players, college stars, and even seasoned NFL veterans known as elite producers at the pinnacle of the sport. Watching these videos, I often see elements of training that are rooted in concepts that will be directly impactful on the player's performance. I also frequently see videos where an answer is coached in a manner where it's spoon-fed to the player but it's not truly teaching things that are translatable to the field. For example, using the arms or sounds as visual and audio cues for a running back to pick one hole over another isn't realistic and teaches the player the incorrect cues to associate with the movement. They are now puppets to cues that don't exist rather than learning to identify the realistic scenarios unfolding in front of them. They need drills that force them to read what cues that are translatable to the field of play. Ross and I discuss several examples of helpful and less helpful methods of training and offer examples of how it translates or doesn't translate on the field with examples of plays involving NFL players, including references to these RSP articles with video: Xavier Rhodes vs. Dante Pettis Marques Valdes-Scantling's Stick, Dip, and Rip DeAndre Hopkins-Jalen Ramsey and Gaining Comfort in the Gray We also talk about the Baker-Chef analogy that Mark Schofield wrote about and whether Ross believes the Chef mentality can be taught. His answer takes us back to the idea of teaching people to ultimately craft their own voice-style. At times, our conversation found parallels to music, boxing, Bruce Lee, and cooking.
