Host: Christopher L. Camp, M.D. Guest:  Andrea Hayden MS, RSCC - Sports Performance Coach Description:  The amount of “exercise” information, recommendations, plans, and opinions out there is greater than it's ever been. Although our increasing knowledge is generally helpful, it's easy to get lost in the rapidly evolving sea of information. This is particularly true because much of the information we hear is contradictory, and many people claim to have the perfect (and only) answer for us. Our goal for today is to help you cut through all of this noise and focus on what you really need to know to establish a successful workout routine for yourself. The three big questions we will tackle in this episode are: 1) What is meant by an “ideal” or “optimal” workout plan? 2) How do I make sense of all the exercise recommendations out there? 3) What do I need to do to create an ideal exercise routine for my needs? To help us answer these questions, my guest today is the Head Sports Performance Coach for the Minnesota Lynx WNBA Basketball Team, Andrea Hayden MS, RSCC.

The ALL ME® Podcast Developing Usable Strength  – Jose Vazquez, MPT, RSCC*E Strength.  What is it?  Why is it important to our health?  In today's podcast we're going to be talking to Jose Vazquez who is the Major League Strength Coach for the Texas Rangers.  From the time he was a young man growing up in Puerto Rico he was fascinated with activity and strength and conditioning.  One of his traits you're going to quickly learn about early on in our interview is on that he is constantly learning and wants to get better.   Jose is going to share his wealth of knowledge that he has obtained over his career with us in this interview.  The focus will be on “usable strength”.  You might be asking yourself what is usable strength and is that just something an athlete needs to have?  Useable strength is something we can all focus on in our day to day lives even though we're not competing in professional sports. One of the coolest stories Jose will share in this podcast is what drew him to the martial art, Jiu Jitsu.  Most people probably have no idea that Jose is a black belt which took him nearly a decade to achieve.  He has learned a lot mastering this art that he uses in his day to day job working with professional baseball players. We know you will find this information very helpful in your day to day life as well as it's information that will make you better.  Thank you for tuning in!  RESOURCES: Professional Baseball Strength and Conditioning Coaches Society: Follow on Instagram:  @PBSCCS Follow on Twitter: @PBSCCS Follow Us: Twitter:  @theTHF Instagram:  @theTHF Facebook: Taylor Hooton Foundation #ALLMEPEDFREE Contact Us:  Email:  Phone: 214-449-1990 ALL ME Assembly Programs:

In this Episode, Garson Skelton, CSCS*D, RSCC, USAW1, CISSN, joins me to discuss his new passion project, Squats and Hops.  Garson is both a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and a Certified Beer Server.  Squats and Hops is all about finding balance and consistency between training and nutrition, with enough flexibility so that you can enjoy a craft beer every now and again.  Maybe you don't drink beer, but you like bbq, cupcakes, or ice cream.  The Squats and Hops model of training and nutrition (within the framework of moderation) works for those things, too.  Most online training and nutrition programs make no room for things like beer, cookies, and ice cream.  Squats and Hops is different. You can hit a lifting PR, drop some inches and get back into those old jeans, or achieve nearly any other training or aesthetic goal, and celebrate with a beer.  Garson can show you how!  Website:  https://squatsandhops.com/ Follow Squats and Hops:Instagram:  @squats_and_hops

He graduated HS from Lyndon Institute and excelled in 5 varsity sports throughout his H.S. Career including baseball, football, ski racing, track and field, and soccer. He also ran a few X-Country races while at BMA. College took a turn after a head on car accident took him away from college football and into a lot of rehabilitation.

You have to have a system that can equip them with what they need if they can bring the intangibles to the table.” 5:45 “One thing we have to make sure we keep in the forefront of our mind as coaches is that we have to take ownership right where we’re at and keep fighting, scrapping, and scratching to find ways to keep pushing and getting where we’re at." 8:17 “If you could see what hurdles we had to go through to get where we’re at, that the short-term sacrifices for the long-term gain strategies that we’ve had to implement, and the hats I’ve had to wear to get to what we’re doing.” 9:51 “Challenge yourself and reach out and connect because that brainstorming approach and us starting to link up and work together, even though we are at different places and different situations, it starts to get you in a different place mentally and these little strategies here and there can help build that momentum.” 10:27 “You look at the things in front of you and attack those as much as you can.” 13:31 “You have to maximize being great at what you currently have on your plate.” 14:30 “What if the reason I am seeing this problem is because I am the one equipped to try to get it done?” 15:00 “I challenge people to have multiple checks and balances systems when it comes to feedback.” 36:30

I really think they did.” 7:00“I never ever have any regrets on anything because I’m always moving forward.” 7:15“If this is a field you choose, please understand it’s not going to look the way you think it’s going to look, but if you have a specific goal, get to that goal.” 7:25“Do what no one else is doing, stay pertinent, keep studying, and understand you’re never going to get to the top of the hill because there is no top of the hill.” 7:49“I’ve got a lot of learning to do. I’m going to peak at 70 years old, so I’ve got 20 years to peak.” 9:15“Can I go to a desert island and train an athlete with nothing? Yes, I can. Can everyone? No, they can’t…” 11:12“I don’t believe in balance and I’m not balanced, I’ve got an unbelievable family.” 12:13“It’s not what you have, it’s what excites you.” 13:08“You have one responsibility—make yourself happy. If you’re not happy, you can’t help anyone else.” 13:18“If you’re authentic in your beliefs, do as much as you can. Everything I’ve done is because I’m excited and I want to touch as many lives as I possibly can.” 15:28“I’ve absolutely unequivocally never been motivated by money.” 15:40“Everything I’ve done in my life has set me up for this point.” 16:45“Half the time I’m in a room with people so much smarter than me and I’m like, ‘This is the coolest thing!’” 17:01“But here’s the thing—no one is better than me because while I may be replaceable, I’m not repeatable.” 17:08“If you’re authentic in your approach you don’t have to pretend to be something you’re not—so you can wake up every day and be who you are.” 19:37“Everyone I hire has things that I don’t have and are way better than me in certain aspects, and I look to that so that I can grow. I don’t want to hire clones of myself.” 21:23“My selfish goal is that I want to hire you to make our program better because this program is not about me and it’s not about you, it’s about the athlete.” 21:56“Be authentic to who you are, especially with social media… just get it out there and be authentic in your approach.” 23:30“If you have truly chosen this field, it’s going to take you 15 years to become relevant.” 23:56“Instagram’s not real, Facebook’s not real, Twitter’s not real; I love posting positive stuff on there but that’s not who I am.” 25:11“If you have 24 million followers and that authenticates who you are, you may want to re-look at who you are.” 25:35“The realness comes out of a selfless action to get people better and the thing is don’t be scared to fail.” 25:45“How you affect people and how you adjust their lives and make them feel without you is really, really important.” 26:55“A lot of times you’re half dead too and you don’t want to be there but it’s not about you, so you got to find a way to platform it so they buy in.” 28:00“Sometimes we take ourselves too seriously and think ours is the only way—if you don’t interject other ways you’re going to have problems.” 28:41“You have to make a plan and you have to make it about them [the athletes].” 29:05“I learned I’ve got to integrate other people’s opinions because there are a lot of people way smarter than me and I know enough to know I know enough.” 31:15“I don’t just integrate other opinions. I listen and I assimilate it, and I make it my own.” 31:33“Be in the moment—some of the stuff you’re going to do you’re going to hate because it’s going to be challenging, but be in the moment.” 33:02“I drove to Florida with $20 and no phone.” 35:25“I’m learning new stuff every day.” 36:44“If you’re going to work as a strength and conditioning coach in professional sports, you’re going to have to have the CSCS.” 37:00“I’m not saying you have to agree with everything, but you have to learn from everything.” 37:19“People don’t see this it’s not all glamorous—we’re in Minnesota and its 23 below freezing and we just lost a game and guess whose tagging bags? We are tagging bags.” 37:50“If you have a perspective and it’s who you are and it’s what you’re made up of, then you can handle anything.” 38:28“In the professional realm, it’s wins, losses, and how you’re able to keep people on the field.” 39:58“If you don’t have a thick skin and you don’t have an ability to think through some of the tougher situations, you absolutely cannot last.” 40:10“It’s the same as life, the same people who are going to be successful in life are going to be successful in professional sports.” 40:40“If you’re not adaptive, you’re not creative, and you don’t continually evolve, you absolutely unequivocally have no shot of lasting as a professional strength coach at any professional level.” 41:18“It’s the same excitement year 1 as it is year 21 with those guys [Bill Foran and Dwight Daub].” 42:55“The one common thing we have is that we live for this field.” 43:25“The reason I write is that I hate writing… but what it does is it makes me sit down and think through the process.” 44:13“I think the NSCA does a really good job of creating a broad spectrum of views that you can incorporate.” 44:45“I think we have an obligation to give back to our younger professionals.” 45:59“Get out of your comfort realm, do stuff that scares you, that’s the stuff that makes you learn.” 48:15“A lot of times we’ve become so enamored with the fact that we’re so smart that our programming is pre-existing in our heads and we program before we even see our athletes.” 50:30

I’m not trying to sit here… and say ‘My training is the best training.’” 5:21“I think it comes down to three aspects: the physiological, the psychological, and the cultural element… you need to know what drives people… these guys don’t care about getting under 85% and what that does to the nervous system the same way that we do… you need to get them to adhere to it.” 6:25Book: Conscious Coaching: The Art and Science of Building Buy-In 8:10“People are the ultimate performance variable, and if you don’t know what makes them tick, you’re gonna be a pretty poor coach.” 9:58“Somebody can be smart but not intelligent.” 11:16“I think sometimes we push principles and practices too much and not enough of just the intangibles of coaching.” 13:45“There’s this notion that unless you’ve coached ‘x’ amount of years, that you’re not skilled… you have to be able to find talent everywhere.” 14:09“Do the simple things savagely well.” 16:27“… Seek outside influences—if you’re only learning from strength and conditioning, you’re not broadening yourself to the best of your ability.” 17:21“You’re constantly trying to cater to a demand while staying true to a craft.” 17:37“We have to be the multidisciplinary learners we say that we are… learn from everybody. Don’t just learn from other strength coaches.” 18:24“The number one thing I look for… you have to have some level of consciousness of what you’re looking for and how to talk to people.” 19:12“I just look for the basics: do you have a good handshake, can you look me in the eye, can you send a thoughtful email?” 19:43Book: Robert Sapolsky’s Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst 27:37“People have agendas… you just gotta understand how to balance that.” 28:06“Our job is very important, but we’re not heart surgeons.” 29:18“You have to adapt yourself to the world or you can’t complain when the world happens to you.” 30:45

Coach Kyle Keese from Denton Guyer High school located in Denton Texas trains the Wildcasts to get better everyday. If you know anything about the combination of Texas and football then you know that it is big business and this also includes the strength and conditioning programs there too. At Denton Guyer they take this very seriously and have had great success in the 10 years they have been open as a high school. Coach Keese has done a great job of getting all athletes involved and also keeping them highly motivated with goal setting for each player and building those personal relationships. Coach Keese is going to talk about some agility and movement drills called GRID and it is something that I think would be great to add to any athletic program. And notice how I said athletic program, because this really applies to all athletes and all sports. Kids need more movement these days and coach Keese has a great solution for it.  Coach Keese holds a BS in exercise and sports studies from Tarleton State university where he played football as well. He Coached at Crownover middle school which is a feeder school for Guyer and then moved to the high school the following year. In previous years he has also coached linebackers along with his duties as a strength coach.

I am a former college and high school strength coach. I created this podcast for strength coaches at any level but more specifically for High School Strength Coaches. I want strength coaches to be able to connect to each other and learn more about the growing field of full time high school strength coaching.  Thanks for checking out the website.  It would be great to connect with other strength coaches and talk about what works and what doesn’t work when training high school athletes.  This is why I created this podcast. I hope  you find it useful and valuable!   Website: www.hsstrengthcoach.com   Contact me at hsstrengthcoach365@gmail.com   Thank you so much for listening and I would appreciate it greatly if you could leave a 5 star review in iTunes as this really helps boost the show rankings and spread the word about the High School Strength Coach Podcast. That way other Strength Coaches like yourself can find the show and benefit from it too.  Thank you very much if you have already left a rating and feedback, I appreciate it greatly!
