For many strength coaches, the warmup is the best weapon they have. It's a dedicated time each day to work with athletes, whether they make it in the weight room or not. But to really get the most out of it, you have to have a plan to allow you to use the time effectively, build athlete buy in, and gain the confidence of the coaching staff. On this week's episode Rett Larson joins us to share his plan and philosophy of warming up based on his experience in the Olympic volleyball world.

Rett Larson is a Strength and Conditioning / Sports Performance Coach currently training the German Women's National Volleyball Team. He has work with athletes and organizations all over the world including China and The Netherlands, serving as the former Vice President at JuzPlay Performance Training, Project Manager - EXOS China at Athletes' Performance and Director of Coaching at Velocity Sports Performance.Links:@rettasaurus and @PickleballStrengthCoach on Instagram@rettlarson on Twitter

Today's episode features Rett Larson.  Rett is a physical preparation coach with an extensive and diverse background.  He has worked internationally with the national volleyball teams of Germany, Netherlands and China.  Rett has also worked with professionals, down to athletes of all ages, having prior experience as Velocity Sports Performance's director of coaching in California.  Rett is a student of movement, having studied not only the top minds in sports performance, but also in general movement training such as taught by Ido Portal and in the scope of physical education. The evolution of sport is one of integration, and not separation.  Currently, the “silos” of sport coaching and then all of the “supportive” services (such as S&C) don't tend to have much interaction with each other beyond a conversation.  The fact of the matter is, that when an athlete hits the field (or court) of play, they are operating within all facets of their humanity.  Their physical, tactical, technical, emotional, social and deep psychology all impacts their performance on the field.  The ”sport-warmup” may be the one place, in all of an athlete's training, where the maximal amount of silos can be integrated.  Athletes can use strength, physio, games and sport-constraint oriented methods to not only prepare them for practice in an enjoyable way, but also form a “melting pot” of all aspects that make an athlete. On the show today, Rett Larson takes us through his evolution as a coach, and how his warmups and training has evolved over time.  He covers the highest transferring abilities he sees from the gym and warmup sessions, that are embodied by the best players on the team.  Rett also covers the important interaction that must take place between the physical preparation coach and sport coach, to create buy-in, and move the warmup process forward.  After listening to Rett speak on his approach to training athletes, it's hard to think differently about our own process towards the evolution of our athletes and training programs.

This week's guest on the Pacey Performance Podcast is Rett Larson, strength and conditioning coach for the German women's national volleyball team. He's previously coached the Dutch and Chinese women's volleyball teams, and worked for EXOS Athlete Performance for seven years. Prior to that, he learned his trade coaching younger athletes in strength training between the ages of 8 and 18 in Southern California. Rett's here to talk about warming up, cooling down, and why it can pay to coach younger athletes before moving on to adult-aged coaching. As well as the benefits of experience, coaches can really see how to engage with a group and notice the smaller performance details. With warming up, Rett is an expert in this field gives key advice on how to design effective warm ups, structure sessions, and why keeping things ‘messy' can be more beneficial. Rett also discusses cool downs, again discussing how to structure such sessions, keep the coach's own ego in check relating to athletes' attitude towards them, and how to maintain attention once the main training session is over. He also provides some bonus advice on percussive therapy devices, and the ones he uses. To learn all this and much more, hit the play button now. This week's topics: The benefits of coaching younger athletes before moving on to adults How Rett became the ‘warm-up' guy The key to coaching effective warm-ups Why we need to warm-up Why coaches can keep warm-ups ‘messy' rather than robotic How to structure warm-up sessions Ensuring flexibility through effective stretching Were stretching bands and activation exercises just a fad? Rett's advice on cool-downs Percussive therapy devices, and the ones Rett uses

In this edition of The Podcast I get to sit down and talk with Rett Larson. Rett’s resume is absolutely mind blowing, and among other things, now is working with the defending World Cup Champion Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team preparing them for Rio. In the 40 minute talk we go over his voyage from Richmond, VA to China, and working with the World Cup Championship Volleyball team. We then get into individual sports, and his time with China’s Diving team. Next he touches upon how early specialization is so important with the “big time” sports in China because of how technical these sports (table tennis, diving, gymnastics, etc.) are. We finish up talking about JUZPLAY, his latest project, and how positive reinforcement has had a huge impact on his coaching career and impacts how he handles the athlete’s he works with on a daily basis.
