Summary: In this conversation, Chris Butler and Dr. Nick Winkelman, author of 'The Language of Coaching: The Art and Science of Teaching Movement', explore the intersection of coaching language and motor learning, particularly in the context of law enforcement training. They discuss the importance of effective communication in coaching, the impact of language on performance, and the balance between internal and external cues.

Takeaways: • Nick Winkelman emphasizes the importance of language in coaching and motor learning. • Effective coaching requires understanding the intersection of what a coach says and what an athlete hears. • Learning is defined as the ability to express a change without reminders or prompts. • Analogies and external cues enhance learning and performance in movement skills. • The Coaching Communication Loop consists of describe, demonstrate, cue, do, and debrief. • Internal cues focus on body mechanics, while external cues focus on outcomes. • Allowing learners to struggle is essential for developing skills and understanding. • Feedback and cues are crucial for improving performance and ensuring safety. • Flexibility in coaching approaches is necessary to meet individual learner needs. Learning capacity can plateau, requiring new cues. • Athletes have different learning moods that affect performance. • Coaches can create conditions to lower barriers to learning. • Clear expectations reduce anxiety and improve focus. • Positive reinforcement enhances learning retention. • Language used in coaching impacts athlete's mindset. • Internal cues can hinder performance by overthinking. • External cues enhance reaction time and performance. • Celebrating successes reinforces positive learning experiences. • Effective coaching involves guiding rather than dictating.

Prior to working for Irish Rugby, Nick was the director of education for EXOS.  Nick is an internationally recognized speaker on human performance and coaching science, and is the author of the book, “The Language of Coaching”.  Nick previously appeared on episode 193 of the podcast where he went in detail on internal and external cues, analogies, and what it takes to make cues more effective. One of the major shifts in my coaching career and personal movement/training practice has been understanding the “art” of coaching on the levels of psychology, motor learning, and how we actually go about instructing athletes in the course of the training session.  As coaches, we all tend to start out with a combination of what we did ourselves as athlete, and then whatever training frameworks we learned in our education process. When we look at any training session, whether it is sport skill or gym work, it's par for the course to look at it on the level of tactics, sets and reps, which drills to use, or x's and o's.  It's far more rare to look at the session on the level of meaning and engagement, and how we can work cohesively with athletes to better communicate with them, direct their attention, and allow them to understand, on a deeper level, what improving their sport technique feels like (and not to just intellectualize the process).  Improving one's ability in this “soft” side of the coaching equation will help improve the long term success and sustainability of the training process. On the show today, Nick speaks on principles of attentional focus, and how factors such as motivation and novelty can direct an athlete's attentional focus in training.  Nick will discuss cueing dynamics on a level of meaningfulness and embodiment to the athlete, moving past simply intellectualizing instruction (and how we can improve our dialogue in that process).  Finally, Nick will give his take on how coaches can become better story-tellers to their athletes in communicating ideas and instruction.

Timestamps and Main Points 5:03 – Why Nick believes that the “soft” practices in athletics (communication/cueing/motor learning/etc.) are less-traveled in the process of performance training 2:19 – Dynamics of attention, motivation and novelty in athletic performance 29:03 – “Survival” oriented coaching situations as a means to gain the attention of athletes 31:41 – How to go through the process of making coaching and cueing more meaningful to the athlete through listening to the athlete 43:14 – How the shortcoming of internal cues can teach us more about how we learn and function as humans, and how cues and attention placed external to the body can help the “one-ness” of movement fully form 52:12 – Nick's take on the place and context of internal cueing in the process of coaching athletes 57:33 – How “noticing”/awareness of one's body in the midst of movement fits in with the cueing eco-system 1:01:28 – Nick's take on personal practices for coaches that can help them paint better pictures with their words when they are actually coaching “Over time, every coach who is attentive and self-aware to the journey, starts to pick up on “a weak signal”, and they start to realize, that “hold on… not everyone responds to programming the same way, so I might have to individualize… and not everyone responds to the same communication style” “What are we trying to get people to do: We are trying to get people to focus their attention on the right things, in the right way, at the right time” “Attention is like a spotlight, and we can't actually increase the size of the spot...

Welcome to our 7th LIVE airing of the EMP Podcast!

Our guest for today's show is Logan Christopher.  Logan is a strongman, author, owner of Legendary Strength and CEO of Lost Empire Herbs.  Logan previously appeared on episode 111 and episode 187, where he discussed mental training in depth, as well as the “6 layers” of strength.  Logan has also written several books including “Mental Muscle” and “Powered by Nature”, both of which I have found impactful reads.  Logan is a master of using the natural machinery of the body, our mind, and our environment to help us reach our highest potential as humans. An interesting saying you hear over and over again is that “the game is all mental”, or it is “90% mental” by many elite athletes.  Although there are general physical standards to be successful in many sports (think of the body type of a runner or a jumper, or the long arms that are very helpful in making it to the NBA) it is impossible to overlook the role of the mind, especially in elite performers.  Perhaps one's genetic structure can help one to “get in the door” in the sport they are most suited for, but it is always going to be the mind that allows them higher levels of success. On the show today, Logan talks about many facets of both physical and mental training.  He starts with an important facet of coaching we haven't gotten much into before, and that is on the language a coach uses to describe exercises, and training in general, and how these can impact training outcomes.  He also speaks on specific learning styles that can also be used in one's visualization routines, as well as his take on the use of analogies and imagination in athletic skill performance.  Logan also goes into elements of old-school strongman training, as well as a quick take on why testosterone has dropped across the world over the last 50-100 years by a substantial margin.

Timestamps and Main Points 5:40 – Talking about managing training in context of holding back and achieving balance in order to have continual progress 11:10 – How the language a coach uses in the course of a workout can impact the outcome of the training (especially on the level of over-training) 14:25 – The four learning styles, and how to leverage these learning styles for better training results 20:40 – How to specifically optimize the auditory learning style in training 23:10 – How to approach strengths vs. weaknesses in terms of the four learning styles and physical training 32:00 – How analogies, as spoken about by Nick Winkelman, can be effective for athletes in light of Neurolinguistic programming philosophy 33:40 – How imaginatory ability impacts one's physical and athletic abilities 39:10 – If Logan could pick only one mental training tool for himself now, and then 10 years ago, what he would utilize 43:10 – How much mental training Logan does now that he has over a decade of mental training under his belt 50:10 – Some old school strongman lift performances from the past that haven't been touched in the last 50 years 55:25 – Speaking on the link between breathing and strongman training 59:10 – Why testosterone has dropped so much in the last 50 years “Typically I don't even refer to my workouts as workouts, I refer to them as “training”” “I like to use the word “severety” for “effort” instead (of intensity)” “Words do matter, this is going to change the results we get” “(With language) taking a small thing and compounding it over time is going to be a big difference” “The four (learning) styles are visual, auditory, kinesthetic and digital” “Most people in sport tend to be kinesthetic learners…. The visual and kinesthetic are common in athletes” “As a coach, we are going to coach predominantly in our own style” “Very often,

After my first episode with Nick, I immediately wanted him back. This time we were to talk about more esoteric stuff (my words), stuff less related to performance.

In this episode we explore the path of Dan Jablonic, father of twins and ADM Regional Manager for USA Hockey. Dan grew up playing in Minnesota where he played for Blaine High School. He then moved to play in the USHL before moving to play at the University of Minnesota Duluth from 1993-97. While at Duluth, Dan received a bachelors in sports psychology. After college he played in the ECHL and spent time playing in Sweden. Dan started his coaching journey in college working at camps and hockey schools in Minnesota. He began coaching officially in Skelleftea (Sweden) in 2005 as an Assistant coach for th U18 team. He moved to U20 and then as an Assistant Coach for the Men's SHL team. He then moved to coach at Timra IK as the head coach of the U20 team. Before moving back to the US, Dan made a final stop in Sweden at Frölunda Gothenburg where he served as an Assistant Coach. Dan returned Stateside and became the Hockey Director for the Washington Little Caps where he spent almost 7 years. He then became a Regional Manager for the state of Illinois in 2018 where he is working currently.  With Dan we talk about his favorite hockey memory, why he started coaching and what helped him get started, his motivation, his philosophy and values, and what he brings back to the US with him from his time in Sweden. We then explore the responsibility of his current role and the advice he would give himself if he was starting his path again.  Dan recommends a couple of books including, "The Language of Coaching" by Nick Winkelman and "InSideOut Coaching" by Joe Ehrmann.  Check out Dan on twitter (@coachjablonic).

Wil Fleming is a sports performance coach and expert on being a more explosive athlete. His expertise comes from years of training and coaching athletes in multiple sports. His athletes are routinely the most explosive, fastest, and strongest on the field. He is also one of the strongest medium sized guys you will ever run into boasting some pretty decent numbers on the platform and in the weight room. Wil is the co-owner of Force Fitness and Performance and Athletic Revolution Bloomington, in Bloomington, IN.  Force Fitness just turned 4 years old and is already one of the most successful training facilities in the Midwest with nearly 300  clients, 60 athletes earning Division I scholarships and nearly 125 athletes moving on to compete at the NCAA level in Division I, II, III.

Cringe moments Early in his career - Wil made a workout for a tough kid that made him throw up, but he realized that was not his role, true coaching is to make a tough workout that allows them to come back the next day and get stronger long-term. Strength and conditioning in practice Level 1 - Movement Level 2 - Strength & Conditioning Level 3 - High-level skills Biggest mistake for untrained coaches: Weighted conditioning(weighted baseballs, resistant bands, weighted sleds.) Do high reps of body weight exercises. Sensitive periods: 8-12 years old for girls, 9-13 for boys- Speed sensitivity period. Games with lots of running (tag, etc.). Strength periods happen after that - 13 to 15 years old. Teaching Skills - Fun games Let the kids help make up the rules - they will get much buy in Trash ball - Trash can at each end, ultimate frisbee type rules Zombie dodge ball - If you get hit, you join the zombies Mental toughness Take visualization very seriously Have your practice sessions be as similar to game situations as possible Have a mantra - 'I am strong.' 'I am a weightlifting superhero' Before competition - tap into parasympathetic nervous system - which is rest and digest. Sympathetic nervous system is fight or flight - nerves, etc. Great way to do this is teach them how to diaphragmatically breathe. Breathe through your belly, not your shoulders and neck. 'Pressure is what you feel when you don't know what the hell you're doing' - Peyton Manning Accelerate deep practice Eating, sleeping, resting are how to take things to the next level Become a student of the game - watch film, watch the best, create a mental image of themselves doing what the best are doing Visualization - great example of olympic weightlifter breaking into a sweat just through visualizing his routine Connecting with and impacting kids FORD - Get to know about kid's: Family Occupation(school) Recreation(outside of sports) Dreams The one that got away Big Ten championships his senior year of college, was seeded #1 in the hammer, and was ahead for the first 5 rounds, in the 6th round the guy in 2nd place threw past him, and Wil couldn't get himself back focused and came in 2nd. He had let his guard down and wasn't ready mentally for his competitor to step up his game. Best borrowed/stolen idea Nick Winkelman and Brett Bartholomew: People remember things much better when there is a story or external queue that reminds them what to do. (i.e. 'no ducks' for a stance,
