Podcast appearances and mentions of paul cater

In this episode of the Performance Health Podcast, host Tim Caron and guest Coach Paul Cater discuss their upcoming seminar, 'Beyond Barbell,' which will be held in August at The Lab in Monterey, California. Register Here: https://www.coachcater.com/The seminar will explore unconventional resistance training methods, including flywheel, conical, and pneumatic resistance. Paul Cater shares his journey of discovering these methods, particularly during his time abroad in Europe. They emphasize the practical application and hands-on experiences participants will gain, aiming to offer a retreat-like, rejuvenating format rather than a traditional seminar. The discussion also highlights the benefits of alternative resistance profiles in enhancing training efficiency, skill transference, and rehabilitation. The seminar aims to provide strength and conditioning coaches with new perspectives and tools to apply in their practices, encouraging continuous learning and growth in the field.

Today's podcast features Paul Cater, a seasoned strength coach with extensive experience in both professional and private realms. Beginning his journey in collegiate football at UC Davis, Paul later ventured into international professional rugby with the London Wasps for seven years. Following his rugby career, he spent a decade innovating strength and conditioning systems in professional baseball with the Baltimore Orioles and Los Angeles Angels. With a research focus on performance and injury reduction in Seville, Spain, Paul now optimizes training methods for the tactical community and is designing "The Lab Monterey," a premier 'smart gym' in the USA. While training is often regarded as both an art and a science, the majority of time and resources are allocated to the scientific aspects, leaving the artistic elements overlooked. The art of training extends beyond communication with athletes, delving into the intuitive process of session unfolding and the natural processes of learning, movement, and community engagement. In today's podcast, Paul explores the alignment of performance with natural learning, emphasizing challenge and mimicry over verbal statements and rote recital of patterns. He details how to create an environment that breathes life into training sessions, fostering engagement, enhanced learning, and improved results. The discussion also covers the role of science in the context of "smart gyms" and how technology can liberate coach resources for more creative investments. In a rapidly evolving world, this podcast is a landmark exploration of understanding athletes and fostering a meaningful coaching process.

Today’s episode features coach Paul Cater, speaking on his holistic approach to athlete training sessions.  Paul has pioneered a way of training that makes the session a heightened experience on multiple levels, versus a scripted “to-do” list. Paul is the owner of the Alpha Project, a gym in Salinas, California.  He has worked with a wide variety of athletes, from those at the highest professional level in pro Rugby (London Wasps) and pro Baseball (Baltimore Orioles), to local youth sport athletes, as well as those in the general population in a wide variety of age ranges.  Paul has lived and trained athletes internationally and has a wide swath of cultural experience.  He has been a “partial episode” guest of the podcast on episode #197, where he discussed the art of story-telling in the training session, as well as a return to the importance of sprinting as a cornerstone movement in his years of coaching.  Paul has also written a number of impactful articles on Just Fly Sports over the years on the level of taking the “robotic” elements out of sport preparation and bringing in a holistic, thoughtful, aware, and “human” form of coaching. Of all the individuals who have had an impact on my coaching and training, I don’t think I can say anyone has had more of an impact on how I run my training sessions than Paul Cater.  Paul has taught me the art of bringing life and energy into a training session, and as well as using a combination of training methods and environment to be completely in the moment of the training itself.  Through my own observation of, and training with Paul, I have gained insight that can make a training session really come to life in the same manner that sport, or a powerful life experience, does. On the show today, Paul will talk about his philosophy on the flow of a training session, and how his unique model presents athletes the opportunity to grow on multiple levels (awareness, vulnerability, rhythm, variable work modes, etc.).  He’ll get into the “nuts and bolts” of awareness practices, music selection, rhythmic development, and much more.  This is a unique and essential episode, and one that has the potential to really transform one’s coaching practice in a positive way.

It's awesome to have you guys here, and I know I'm excited for every show, but this show is definitely a special one. This is the first full-length episode that I've done with my friend Paul Cater. Paul was actually on a small round table segment for episode 197, where we talked for about 25 minutes.

Paul Cater is the founder of the “Alpha Project” in Salinas, California, and has over 18 years of experience as an international strength and conditioning coach.  Paul has worked with the London Wasps Premier Rugby Team, the Baltimore Orioles, USA Rugby, as well as numerous high school, college and professional athletes.  Paul has written a number of popular articles on Just Fly Sports on the topics of coaching, creativity and service, and makes his first appearance on the podcast. Rachel Balkovec is a pro baseball hitting coach, working with the New York Yankees.  She has made history in acquiring her role in her current position, as well as when she become a minor league strength and conditioning coordinator for the St. Louis Cardinals from 2011-15.  Rachel has also worked in strength and conditioning for the Houston Astros, as well as the Dutch national baseball and softball teams as well as many other successful organizations.  She recently appeared on episode 194 of this podcast talking about coaching and organizational leadership. Rafe Kelley is the owner of Evolve, Move, Play, and was a guest on episode 174 of the podcast.  Rafe’s primary specialization is parkour, and he also has experience in modern training disciplines such as sprinting, basketball, gymnastics, crossfit, FRC, modern dance and many others.  Rafe’s passion to is help people build the physical practice that will help make them the strongest, most adaptable and resilient version of themselves in movement and in life. This episode furthers our topic from last week, which is lessons learned from our “downtime” from in-person coaching, as well as how we are training and learning without our typical gym facilities.  Times where things “contract” (as opposed to the typical expansion), as well as times of necessity are always powerful learning experiences, and I’ve learned something valuable from each of the 6 coaches in this short series, and I know you will as well. 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 3:00  How spending so much time running a business had taken Paul Cater away from the core of training itself 7:45  Expanding the idea of storytelling in a training session and the importance of creativity in coaching 18:00  How sprinting should be a solid root of an athlete or even coach’s movement and training practice 25:20  How Rachel Balkovec has been adjusting her training routine since being taken from her typical gym 31:20  How Rachel maintains awareness, as well as trains, her breathing in various situations 38:50  Things Rachel is learning in general in this time period 43:20  How Rafe’s personal practice hasn’t been altered due to his “atypical” training environment 53:20  How a typical play session in nature can shake out for Rafe 58:20  Comparing the physical effects of natural parkour to other barbell practices 1:03.50  How introducing obstacles and challenges into running can improve engagement and variability Quotes  “It’s been a blessing to be forced to stay home” Paul Cater “Most of the coaches I know and respect will put more of a priority on the barbell rather than the “sprint first” mentality, it’s the path of least resistance…. It’s harder to go outside and have a really in depth sprint session” Paul Cater “Every training session really, is an experience.  Within that every day is a story, an epoch, a saga of overcoming.  Hill running is a metaphor… there’s something about running up a hill” Paul Cater “There is something in animal intuition to ascend and to clim...

Today’s episode features strength coach and sport scientist Mladen Jovanović.  Mladen is the owner of complementarytraining.net and is a thought leader in physical preparation, particularly in the arena of building the best possible training programs for team sport athletes.  Mladen brings in the work of many of the world’s great philosophers and thinkers in his process, fielding universal principles that often supercede existing periodization theory. Mladen has worked in a variety of elite level sports in countries including Serbia, Sweden, Qatar, Turkey, Australia and the USA. A leading individual in the sport science community, Mladen’s interests include velocity based training, statistical modelling and the philosophy/management of sports programmes. I’ve been looking forward to having Mladen on the show for some time, as I’m always impressed by his work and thought process.  It’s always great to chat with those who utilize reason from a variety of other fields to lead us towards a better path in athletics.  One of the biggest things I initially wanted to chat with Mladen about was the use of mental heuristics in how we tend to view and create workout programs, but our chat led us down the paths of flow and free play in athletic performance, robust vs. “peak-performance” training, flaws of classical periodization theory and real-life experiences, as well as velocity based training ideas. In the aftermath of episodes such as with Dr. Tommy John, and then our sport play roundtable, as well as my own experiences training with intuitive minds such as Paul Cater, I’ve realized the shortcomings of strict, planned, drill and internal cue based sessions, and how “breaking out of the robot factory”, so to speak, is one of the most powerful lessons coaches can learn and use. 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: What’s new in the life of Mladen Jovanović How much training should be planned versus spontaneous and free flowing The point of gym work with (team sport players such as soccer) is to be robust, rather than to run as fast or jump as high as possible Guidelines for velocity based work and bar speed monitoring Thoughts on delayed training effects and phase potentiation Mladen’s thoughts on planning robust training for team sport athletes Quotes: “I think we are missing the play element in training” “You need to be a snake to sneak in the hard work without it clashing with the athletes (soccer players who find lifting boring)” “You need to find a balance between giving players freedom, and having strict training” “There are multiple applications for using velocity based training” “We still need to rely on coaching intuition and traditional (stuff), you cannot just rely on velocity based training” “Using (VBT) percentages is biased based on the initial rep” “The main benefit of velocity based training is live feedback.  If your intent is maximal then you are going to get higher levels of strength.” “(Regarding periodization) let’s find the things we need to do, and do them all the time” “Every time you push an athlete, especially on the highest level of competition, they are going into the unknown, you can’t rely on the studies on student population that bench press 70 kilos (to validate what you are doing at this point).” “(With team sport athletes) we rotate things more often so that they don’t hit the (training) ceiling…. What happens after the peak? It’s the volley.  You don’t want this in team sports” “In team sports, (your periodization) is always limited by logistics.  At the end of the day, rather than having “perfect” training, you want to have “robust” training.  Robust training is training that works in several scenarios.” About Mladen Jovanović:

“Coming from American football and into rugby and getting my mind blown with the conditioning levels that these guys had. Working for 80 minutes and carry a lot of muscle mass, and I thought a couple of the benefits of the flywheel were perfect for the conditioning effects.” Paul Cater joins us today to discuss everything fly wheel training. Paul starts out with us sharing how he got introduced to the fly wheel. Next he touches upon the benefits of using the fly wheel vs gravity based resistance, and how his work with rugby really molded his thought process on it. We then touch upon the American style of training vs the European style. Coach Cater finishes off discussing the how's and why’s of blending the flywheel with traditional barbell training. Make sure to give him a follow on Instagram, he puts out some really awesome stuff with the fly wheel: @coach_cater ENJOY THE CONTENT? THEN YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT THE STRENGTH COACH NETWORK!
