Joey Burton on Principles, Communication and Decision-Making in Skill Development

Stuart McGill

Dr. Stuart McGill is often considered to be the world’s foremost expert on spinal biomechanics. His patient list ranges from the general population to some of the world’s most elites athletes, and his work has produced over 240 peer reviewed journal papers and 4 books. In this mashed up replay from two of my most popular episodes, Dr. McGill and I cover a wide range of topics – from lower back movement assessments to program design and everything in between, if you have questions about the lower back or core, Dr. McGill is your guy. And in case you didn’t pick up on it in my intro, I want to say it again here: Dr. McGill has been one of the most influential people in my life as a coach. His work has heavily influenced me throughout my career, and I’ll be forever grateful for both his mentorship and kindness over the years. Now let’s jump in and talk about backs!   In the UFC the strikers with the bigger muscles end up “pushing” their punches – they’re slower because the use muscle. The ones who strike the hardest are the ones who create the “pulsive” strength. – Dr. Stuart McGill   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:  What led Dr. McGill to the world of physical preparation and back rehabilitation. The assessment process Dr. McGill takes his patients and clients through. How the assessment process dictates and drives the training process. The reasoning behind using pain-free movement to expand the movement menu. Virtual Surgery: What it is, and why you should be using it. The worst back he’s ever seen, as well as one of the best results he’s ever had. Tightening the screws – is there anything Dr. McGill is doing differently today versus a year ago? Why the traditional model is outdated, and his thoughts on a superior model for rehabilitation. Updates on what life is like since retiring from teaching. How spinal type influences athletic performance. The concepts of stiffness, relaxation and impulse, and how they impact athletic movement. How rehabilitation approaches differ (and perhaps more importantly, are similar) between the lay population and elite athletes. His thoughts on flexibility for the spine. A shocking stat regarding injuries and personal training, and the advice he would give to young trainers and coaches to help keep them healthy. Real talk: Of his four books, does he have a favorite? Our always popular lightning round where we talk about his favorite summer past time, why he doesn’t miss teaching, and what’s next for Dr. McGill.

Ryan Patrick on Filling Empty Buckets and Integrating Tech in the Private Sector

It’s hard to believe it’s almost August, so we’ve got to knock out our monthly Q&amp;A for July! These are actually getting more fun as we go, as I think we’ve got a great blend of higher-level, philosophical questions combined with some nitty gritty, “try this today” practical application as well. Plus, with the inclusion of the lightning round, I feel like we can cover A LOT of bases in just 45 minutes. So sit back, relax, and let’s talk some training – shall we?   When you’re training middle schoolers, you have to understand – they’re not little adults, and they don’t need to be in the gym just pounding weights. – Mike Robertson   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:  What do you do when you can’t train consistently with clients? Monitoring HRV with large group of athletes (and the 3 questions you should implement before integrating ANY tech into your situation) How to make training programs for young athletes (pre-high school) fun and engaging My go-to exercises for developing shoulder mobility and rotation How long it should take to get a client or athlete through a full R7 session Thoughts on direct neck training, and who REALLY needs to be including this in their programs A quick Vegas recap Sandbag training: Worth it? Or just another gimmicky fad?       Related Links:  Athletic Pressing Video Band Traction video (this one is REALLY old) DB Fly ISO Bill Hartman Dorsal Rostral Expansion video    Stop the Frustration!

July Q&A: HRV, Young Athlete Development, and Recapturing Shoulder Motion

Joel Jamieson

If you’re serious about improving your health and conditioning, or just living a longer and healthier life, you’re going to LOVE this episode. Joel Jamieson is a mentor, friend, and someone I deeply respect in our industry. He’s the author of the Ultima MMA Conditioning book, developer of the Morpheus fitness app and creator of the Certified Conditioning Coach certification. But most importantly, he’s just a wealth of knowledge and someone I’m honored to call a friend. In this episode we’re going to cover a ton of different topics – from Zone 2 cardio, to assessing your fitness, and how to maximize your recovery. Let’s do this!   Fundamentally lifting weights is an anaerobic event – so you’re not going to build a big aerobic engine through an event that takes 10-15 seconds to complete – Joel Jamieson   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:  What’s new with Joel. The updates and changes he’s made to the Morpheus fitness app in the last year. Joel’s insights into what the fittest people are really doing – and maybe more importantly, what they’re NOT doing. The difference between “training” and “workouts.” Arguably the BIGGEST MISTAKE unfit clients are making with their training. Zone 2 Training: Modalities to use, the impact of consistency, and what volumes you need to be using How to assess and improve your Vo2 Max Why heavy strength training is NOT the same as conditioning (even if your heart rate is high for both!) The role of recovery modalities, and where they fit into an all-encompassing fitness program Why your favorite recovery modality isn’t a replacement for good food, quality sleep and stress management       Connect with Joel:  8 Weeks Out Website Joel on Instagram    Related Links:  Certified Conditioning Coach Ultimate MMA Book DexaFit    Stop the Frustration!

Joel Jamieson on Zone 2 Training, Smarter Conditioning and Maximizing Recovery

If you’re serious about becoming a better trainer or coach, at some point you need to ask yourself some big questions. For instance, what’s your philosophy when it comes to training? What groups or populations do you want to serve? And assuming this is a career (and not a hobby), what are you going to charge for your time? While these questions may sound simple at first glance, they’re definitely not easy. So in today’s episode, I’m going to take you step-by-step through these questions and help you figure out what’s most important TO YOU as a trainer or coach.   What do you truly believe in when it comes to training? What are the overarching principles you can follow? – Mike Robertson   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:  How training broken powerlifters helped me form my training philosophy. Why your philosophy needs to be rooted in principles versus specific training mediums. The importance of working with a broad swath of clients and athletes early-on in your career. How my wide-ranging, general training background has served me well as I’m now more specialized. Questions you can ask yourself to figure out WHO you should be training, or who “your people” are. Is training a hobby for you? Or a career? And how does that impact your rates? The sweet spot of pricing, and my thoughts on where it’s easiest to be successful over the long-haul. Three side notes you absolutely MUST LISTEN to with regards to your pricing (this section alone will save you a lot of headaches if you take my advice!)

3 Questions You MUST Answer to Be a Successful Trainer or Coach

Kevin Neeld

Kevin Neeld is the Head Performance Coach for the Boston Bruins, where he oversees all aspects of designing and implementing the team’s performance training program, as well as monitoring the players’ performance, workload and recovery. Prior to his time in Boston, Kevin spent 2 years as an Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach for the San Jose Sharks after serving as the director of a private sports performance facility in New Jersey for 7 years, working with pro, college, junior and elite level youth hockey players. He also served as a strength and conditioning coach with the U.S. Women’s Olympic Ice Hockey Team for 5 years. This episode is chock-full of great information, as we break down topics like movement variability, how to train the brakes and build better deceleration, and what he’s learned working in professional sports for the past 7 years.   I think of movement variability in two buckets: There’s micro-movement variability on the individual joint level, and macro-movement variability which is more the global movement patterns and movement sequencing.  – Kevin Neeld   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:  The formal bio/intro, and what’s new in Kevin’s world. How he addresses and works around FAI (femoral acetabular impingement) with his athletes. His current thoughts on movement variability, and how he address this throughout his programs. How Kevin is training the brakes and improving deceleration with his athletes. The various eccentric training methods he’s using in his programs. Kevin’s thoughts on how you can incorporate plyos into a program without sacrificing strength. Lessons he’s learned during his 7 years working in the NHL. The mistakes he’s made, and how he’s grown and evolved from them. And last but not least, Kevin’s professional goals for the upcoming year!

Loren Landow on Lessons Learned During 5 Years in the NFL

It’s June, and we’re back with another KILLER Q&amp;A Episode!This month was fun because I had a nice mix of questions to answer. On one hand, I had some X’s and O’s questions about how to get more out of your programs and coaching.And on the flip side, I also got some higher-level philosophical questions on continuing education and how to make our industry a little bit better.Regardless, there’s something in here for everyone – so let’s dive in!  You have to get really clear on what works in theory or in a laboratory setting, and what people are really doing. You have to understand the dichotomy between the science and practical side of what we do. – Mike Robertson  This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast: Monthly recap, what I’m working on, and what I’m excited about in the coming months. My thoughts on VBT (or velocity-based training), how it can be useful, and the brand that I most recommend. How to personalize team training sessions, both in collegiate or ANY large-group setting. What’s missing from the certification/licensure process to help raise the bar on our profession. The future of continuing education for both RTS and the industry as a whole. My thoughts on the 3/7 method of lifting, and general principles for discerning if a program is valuable or not. A fun lightning round where we talk about program design, movies, and what summer looks like here in Indy!   Related Links: 3/7 Method Article GymAware VBT Tools  Stop the Frustration!

June Q&A: VBT, Personalizing Group Sessions, and Professional Development

Elite Physical Preparation and Sports Performance Training

Matthew Ibrahim

Matthew Ibrahim currently serves as the Assistant Professor of Exercise Science at Quincy College, Adjunct Professor of Exercise Science at Maryville University, founder of Athletic Performance University (AthleticPerformanceU.com) and Ph.D. Candidate in Human &amp; Sport Performance. As a public speaker, Matthew has presented nationally in over 25 U.S. states, and he’s also in the midst of writing a book through Human Kinetics on the topic of training for athletic performance. And last but definitely not least, Matthew is still a coach – and I think that’s a big reason we had so much fun chatting here today. In this episode, we take a deep dive into deceleration and building the brakes. As strength coaches we love to build higher vertical jumps, faster 40’s, and bigger squats and deads, but on a field, court or pitch you better be able to manage and redirect those forces if you want to be successful!   The big lifts are the steak, the accessory lifts are your rice and broccoli, and your targeted isolation work is the salt, pepper and seasoning. – Matthew Ibrahim   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:  Why building the brakes are so important, and how Matthew originally got into this topic. The role of the weight room, and why we can’t forget about force production and strength development. How compound lifts, accessories, AND targeted isolation work all have a role to play in your training program. Why training deceleration is a big piece of the puzzle, and why you can’t just train in the sagittal plane. Learning how to attenuate vertical forces and LAND more effectively. Why snapdowns and low-level vertical landing progressions aren’t enough over the long-term, and how to progress these activities. How to take a standard training session and seamlessly integrate your deceleration work into it. What Athletic Performance University is, and why Matthew created it. How to better integrate the philosophical/educational side of S&amp;C with the applied and practical to create the next great generation of coaches.       Connect with Matthew:  Matthew on IG Athletic Performance University    Related Links:  Ben Ashworth Podcast    Build Savage, Athletic Beasts with Exerfly! This week’s episode of the Physical Preparation Podcast is brought to you by Exerfly. Flywheel training is a method of strength training where your athletes generate resistance by using the inertia of a flywheel instead of traditional gravity-based resistance training By accelerating and then decelerating a disk, your athletes generate resistance in both the concentric and eccentric portions of the lift, WITHOUT the need for ridiculously heavy weights. Standard free weight training is great for the early preparatory phases, but as athletes develop there’s more to it than just getting stronger at all costs. At some point, you need to prepare them for the massive eccentric forces they’ll experience on the field, court or pitch – and with Exerfly’s motorized technology, you can increase the eccentric overload of the lift anywhere from 1-80%! Exerfly is used by numerous teams in the NFL, NBA, over 50% of the English Premiere League, and numerous Olympic development programs. Now as a small business owner you may immediately assume that an Exerfly is out of your budget, because we all know that every penny counts. But Exerfly has you covered here as well – they offer 36-month, interest free-financing, so you can get started ASAP with your training and pay as you go. And when you factor in a 30-day money back guarantee, 2- year warranty AND free shipping, the Exerfly really is a solid investment.

Matthew Ibrahim on Building the Brakes and Training Deceleration

Lee Taft

If you want to help your athletes get faster, then THIS is the podcast for you. In my not so humble opinion, Lee Taft is THE BEST practitioner of multi-directional speed training in the world, and in this episode I really feel like we capture lightning in a bottle. While Lee primarily works as a consultant these days, over his storied career he’s owned his own facility numerous times, coached at virtually every level of sport, and perhaps more importantly has coached just about every type of athlete under the sun – all which gives him a truly unique approach and understanding of speed development. So whether we’re talking about acceleration, top-end speed, curved running, backpedaling or lateral movement, we literally cover ALL of these topics in depth in this episode – all in an effort to help make sure YOU get the best possible results with the athletes you train.   When we do any sort of curved running that emphasizes the pronation and supination at the foot…so I think the big mistake coaches make is they go BIG CURVES right off the bat. – Lee Taft   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:  Lee’s background and what got him started in the world of physical preparation. Why he’s always been so passionate about SPEED. How breaking down film of his college basketball team helped him understand human movement and quickness. The acceleration model – what it should look like, and how to coach and cue acceleration more effectively. Ways coaches can screw up their athletes acceleration! Why training top-end/maximal speed is critical REGARDLESS of the sport you play or coach. Curved Running: What it is, and why it’s important. Where curved running can go wrong, and how to safely and effectively introduce it into your coaching. Lee’s thoughts on backpedaling, and the two different types of backpedal he coaches. Coaching lateral speed and change of direction.       Connect with Lee:  LeeTaft.com Lee Taft’s Instagram Speed Insiders    Stop the Frustration!

If you want to help your athletes get faster, then THIS is the podcast for you. In my not so humble opinion, Lee Taft is THE BEST practitioner of multi-directional speed training in the world, and in this episode I really feel like we capture lightning in a bottle. While Lee primarily works as a consultant these days, over his storied career he’s owned his own facility numerous times, coached at virtually every level of sport, and perhaps more importantly has coached just about every type of athlete under the sun – all which gives him a truly unique approach and understanding of speed development. So whether we’re talking about acceleration, top-end speed, curved running, backpedaling or lateral movement, we literally cover ALL of these topics in depth in this episode – all in an effort to help make sure YOU get the best possible results with the athletes you train. <blockquote>When we do any sort of curved running that emphasizes the pronation and supination at the foot…so I think the big mistake coaches make is they go BIG CURVES right off the bat. – Lee Taft</blockquote> <h2>This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:</h2> <ul> <li>Lee’s background and what got him started in the world of physical preparation.</li> <li>Why he’s always been so passionate about SPEED.</li> <li>How breaking down film of his college basketball team helped him understand human movement and quickness.</li> <li>The acceleration model – what it should look like, and how to coach and cue acceleration more effectively.</li> <li>Ways coaches can screw up their athletes acceleration!</li> <li>Why training top-end/maximal speed is critical REGARDLESS of the sport you play or coach.</li> <li>Curved Running: What it is, and why it’s important.</li> <li>Where curved running can go wrong, and how to safely and effectively introduce it into your coaching.</li> <li>Lee’s thoughts on backpedaling, and the two different types of backpedal he coaches.</li> <li>Coaching lateral speed and change of direction.</li> </ul> <h2>Connect with Lee:</h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://leetaft.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">LeeTaft.com</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/leetaft/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Lee Taft’s Instagram</a></li> <li><a href="https://leetaft.com/product/speedinsiders/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Speed Insiders</a></li> </ul> <h2>Stop the Frustration!

Lee Taft on Building Elite Multi-Directional Speed

Let’s start this episode off with an honest statement: Being a coach is an energy-intensive endeavor. Every day you want to give your best – your all – to your clients and athletes. But here’s one thing we don’t talk about enough: How do we manage and maintain our own energy? When you’re working hard and taking care of others, how to you take care of yourself so you don’t burnout in the process? So today we’re going to dive into the practices and strategies I’ve cultivated over my 23 years of coaching, and figure out healthy ways for you to manage your energy on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. Because ultimately if I’m taking great care of myself, it’s that much easier to take great care of my athletes.   You can love your job. You can love working with people. You can love coaching and all of the great things that come with that. But you have to make time for yourself. – Mike Robertson   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:  The mindset I use with myself to make sure I can coach at a high-level The 3 goals I set for myself in every single coaching session. Why a great night of coaching ultimately starts the night before. How to dial in your sleep and making sure you’re rested and ready for a great day of coaching. Thoughts on the brain dump, and why planning your day the night before increases productivity. Morning routines you can use to have better training sessions. Why optimizing your workspace matters, and what my vision has always been for IFAST. The value of the mid-day break, and how it can help you crush your afternoon coaching sessions WITHOUT the need to crush more caffeine. Why you absolutely MUST be training yourself. The role of continuing education in keeping your brain stimulated and locked-in. Why weekends are so critical to your long-term energy needs, and using the Nick Littlehales rule to balance sleep needs. How your “inner circle” either gives or takes energy away, and why you should be cultivating your circle NOW. The role breaks and planned time away play in keeping energy up over the long haul.

How to Manage Your Energy and Avoid Burnout as a Coach

Anthony Iannarino

Anthony Iannarino is a Physical Therapist and Strength and Conditioning coach currently serving as a Performance Therapist with the Washington Wizards. Prior to transitioning to professional sports, Anthony served as a clinic director for Rehab 2 Perform as well as the performance therapist for the Bullis School Track and Field where he worked elite high school runners both trackside and in the clinic. In addition to his work with the Wizards, Anthony is also a director and lecturer with R2P Academy which provides rehab and performance education to clinicians and coaches both in person and virtually. In this episode, we talk about the big, overarching principles that guide his return to play process. From there, we go deeper and talk about hamstring injuries, including why they tend to linger and what you can do to get those hammies healthy once and for all. And to pull it all together, we discuss career development, how to guide your continuing education, and how pizza and physical prep are incredibly similar. Enjoy!   When we start talking about our KPI’s and key performance indicators, each one of those should have a test underneath it or a metric I’m tracking.  – Anthony Iannarino   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:  Anthony’s start in the world of physical prep, and why it looks eerily similar to my own. Why getting talked out of working in pro baseball might’ve been the best thing for his long-term career. His “Big Rocks” when it comes to return to play, and the meta principles he follows to guide his process. Why most injuries – and the ensuing rehab process – tend to have a silver lining. Assessing risk in return to play, and how to improve your decision-making both with and without data. The risk factors that pre-dispose an athlete to hamstring injuries. Boxes you absolutely MUST CHECK when programming for someone to prevent hamstring issues. The changes working in pro sports has on your lifestyle. Why self-audits are so critical to your long-term development, and how to shape your continuing education based off those audits.

Anthony Iannarino on Meta Principles and Silver Linings in the Return to Play Process

And we’re back! It’s been over a month since we did a Q&amp;A episode, so I knew I needed to get one in sooner than later. This week, we’ve got a ton of fun topics to discuss. For starers, how do you determine your own weaknesses and plan your continuing education? How do you help middle-aged weekend warriors get back out on the field, court or pitch? And last but not least, what are augmented eccentrics? And should you be using them with your athletes? We dive into all that – and much more – in this new episode!   Just like when you’re training your athletes you use a needs analysis, you need to do the same thing for YOURSELF when you’re creating your continuing education program. – Mike Robertson   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:  A brief life update regarding kiddos, coaching, and IFAST 4.0 Nick B – What’s your process for planning out continuing education? How far out do you plan? How do you go about choosing topics to go deeper on? Nate B – Middle aged client started getting back into basketball but is so achy for days after? Tips? Adam H – What are your thoughts on augmented eccentrics? Very popular now and curious what you think. Thanks! Johnny B – Can you talk a little more about the RESET (R2) part of your R7 model?

And we’re back! It’s been over a month since we did a Q&amp;A episode, so I knew I needed to get one in sooner than later. This week, we’ve got a ton of fun topics to discuss. For starers, how do you determine your own weaknesses and plan your continuing education? How do you help middle-aged weekend warriors get back out on the field, court or pitch? And last but not least, what are augmented eccentrics? And should you be using them with your athletes? We dive into all that – and much more – in this new episode! <blockquote>Just like when you’re training your athletes you use a needs analysis, you need to do the same thing for YOURSELF when you’re creating your continuing education program. – Mike Robertson</blockquote> <h2>This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:</h2> <ul> <li>A brief life update regarding kiddos, coaching, and IFAST 4.0</li> <li>Nick B – What’s your process for planning out continuing education? How far out do you plan? How do you go about choosing topics to go deeper on?</li> <li>Nate B – Middle aged client started getting back into basketball but is so achy for days after? Tips?</li> <li>Adam H – What are your thoughts on augmented eccentrics? Very popular now and curious what you think. Thanks!</li> <li>Johnny B – Can you talk a little more about the RESET (R2) part of your R7 model? Do you train just one side sometimes?

Julia Glanz

Julia Glanz is a Registered Dietitian with a Masters Degree In Nutritional Science, a Certified Strength &amp; Conditioning Specialist, a former College Strength &amp; Conditioning Coach and a former Division 1 soccer player. Julia’s education in nutritional science, exercise science and physiology combined with years of her own personal struggle with hormone imbalances fueled her passion for helping women optimize their hormones. Julia has an online coaching business where she’s now helped thousands of women through virtual programs, courses, 1:1 coaching and her Ebook – A Woman’s Guide To Optimizing Health, Hormones &amp; Metabolism. And in this episode, Julia and I are going to talk about how planning your female clients and athletes training program around their menstrual cycle can make a HUGE impact on their performance.   Rating of perceived exertion during the 2nd half of your cycle, especially that week that progesterone is peaking, really goes up – so that 50 pounds you’re used to lifting might feel more like 300. – Juliz Glanz   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:  How Julia got started in the world of physical preparation. Julia’s transition from college strength coach to the online coaching, education and consulting space. The 4 Phases of a woman’s menstrual cycle, and how you need to be adapting your training and nutrition strategies for each. How male coaches can start the conversation about the menstrual cycle with their female clients and athletes. The hormonal changes a woman deals with during menopause, and how training and nutrition can be used to better support them. Intermittent Fasting: Is it appropriate for your female clients and athletes? Helping your female athletes understand the power of FUELING their body for better performance – both in the gym or in their competitive sport.

Julia Glanz on Using Your Hormones to Super Charge Your Results In the Gym

Alwyn Cosgrove

When you reflect on life, it’s interesting to see how some people step in at exactly the right point in time. As a young coach growing up, I didn’t have a lot of great mentors. I knew I wanted to create content, I wanted to use speaking as an avenue to educate other trainers and coaches, and someday I wanted to own my own gym. And these were awesome goals – but how should I actually go about DOING THIS? Luckily for me Alwyn Cosgrove came into MY LIFE at just the right time, and the rest, as they say, is history. Alwyn is the co-owner of Results Fitness in Santa Clarita, California—twice named one of the top 10 gyms in America by Men’s Health and Women’s Health magazines. Alwyn and his wife Rachel are also owners of a fitness professional consulting company, Results Fitness University. In this episode, Alwyn and I are going to touch on a ton of different topics – from professional mentorship, to owning your own business, to how fat loss training has evolved over the years.   If you pay attention, that’s not even what they say in the (Field of Dreams) movie. They say, “build it and HE will come” – as in his dad, who isn’t going to pay! –  Alwyn Cosgrove   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:  Alwyn’s career in martial arts and how it propelled him into the fitness industry. How the “Butterfly Effect” has lead to so many big moments in his life. His first mentor, and why that made such a big impact for him in every aspect of his life. Why Alwyn opened a gym, and how he then realized being an independent contractor wasn’t so bad  How fighting – and BEATING – cancer twice has shaped both his life and his business. The impact COVID had on owning and operating a gym, and what he’s changed as a result. Why the fat loss hierarchy was such an important article for our industry (even if it was published in 2007!) How he’s evolved his fat loss training and programs over the years to get even better results.

Ben Ashworth is a dual qualified shoulder specialist who has over 20 years of experience working with athletes as a physio and strength coach in a wide range of performance environments. Ben has worked in elite rugby at London Wasps, across Olympic sports in the lead up to London 2012, and spent six years as first team physiotherapist at Arsenal football club, before his most recent role as Performance Director in European football. He now runs his own Athletic Shoulder business working with Major League Baseball teams and supporting an NFL shoulder injury task force. Additionally, he consults with teams and individuals worldwide, based on his original published research, and through experience in athletic shoulder testing and training. Ben is currently undertaking a PhD at Liverpool Hope University, looking at the key determinants of throwing performance and the use of a system to optimize athlete health and performance in sports with high shoulder demands.   We look at absolute and relative levels (of strength) to see is someone sitting at the right level. Are they weak or strong? And then, are the explosive or not? – Ben Ashworth   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:  Ben’s starting point in the industry, and how he got so interested in shoulders. His “Big Rocks” when it comes to shoulder training and health. The evaluation process he takes his clients and athletes through to determine health and function. The ASH Test – aka how Ben got a force-plate test named after himself! What data and metrics are most important to Ben when he’s evaluating a shoulder. How to take the information from your assessment to write a world-class program. The difference between MAX force and RATE of force development, and why you need BOTH. A “shoulder-specific” lightning round where I ask some of the most common questions about shoulder training!

Ben Ashworth on Outcome-Driven Shoulder Training & Performance

Anthony Donskov

Anthony Donskov is the founder and head performance coach at Donskov Strength and Conditioning, and the author of the amazing book, Physical Preparation for Hockey: Biological Principles and Practical solutions. But more importantly, Anthony just went back and got his Ph.D., so I was curious – at 40+ years old, what makes you do that? In this episode, we take a deep dive into Anthony’s thought process, how he evaluates and uses tech in the private sector, and how much data we really need to be successful.   Everybody is talking about shiny gadgets and statistics, but what is your understanding of the actual game? – Anthony Donskov   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:  Why Anthony went back to get his Ph.D., and do I really have to call him DOCTOR Donskov now??? His assessment process, and how it’s evolved over the years. How to evaluate new technology and gadgets to see if they truly fit your needs. Anthony’s thoughts on Objective vs. Subjective evaluation, and when you might want to use each. A big question: How much data is enough? The role longitudinal data plays, and why we can all aspire to be more like Dan Pfaff. Anthony (aka Carl Poppers) 4 steps of problem solving. His advice for going back to school later in life. Anthony’s long-term dreams, goals and visions for himself and his company.

This week’s episode of the Physical Preparation Podcast is brought to you by Exerfly. Flywheel training is a method of strength training where your athletes generate resistance by using the inertia of a flywheel instead of traditional gravity-based resistance training By accelerating and then decelerating a disk, your athletes generate resistance in both the concentric and eccentric portions of the lift, WITHOUT the need for ridiculously heavy weights. Standard free weight training is great for the early preparatory phases, but as athletes develop there’s more to it than just getting stronger at all costs. At some point, you need to prepare them for the massive eccentric forces they’ll experience on the field, court or pitch – and with Exerfly’s motorized technology, you can increase the eccentric overload of the lift anywhere from 1-80%! Exerfly is used by numerous teams in the NFL, NBA, over 50% of the English Premiere League, and numerous Olympic development programs. Now as a small business owner you may immediately assume that an Exerfly is out of your budget, because we all know that every penny counts. But Exerfly has you covered here as well – they offer 36-month, interest free-financing, so you can get started ASAP with your training and pay as you go. And when you factor in a 30-day money back guarantee, 2- year warranty AND free shipping, the Exerfly really is a solid investment.

We talk about why we’re so passionate about coaching. And we talk about how YOU – at any stage in your career – can set yourself up for long-term success. I hope you enjoy it!

Physical Preparation Podcast Archives - Robertson Training Systems

Training and coaching clients to improve their health and fitness can be fun and incredibly rewarding – but it’s not always easy. There are many things we need to consider when coaching our clients to achieve optimal performance, and sometimes, our desire and passion for helping others can lead to putting our own needs and desires on the back burner. And in a worse case scenario, it can even lead to stress, anxiety, and burnout. Today, I share the 12 things I believe every coach and trainer needs to hear at some point in their career. I explain why coaches need to keep their training programs as simple as possible while staying focused on achieving the desired goals of their clients. I discuss the importance of learning from your mistakes and failures and the impact that being tied to perfection can have on your self-esteem, self-worth, and your performance as a coach and trainer. We talk about trusting your instincts and focusing on creating personalized programs for your clients based on their needs and the outcomes they want to achieve. And of course, we talk about the importance of taking care of yourself and reminding yourself that you have an amazing job that is truly making an impact on the world.   The goal isn’t to make things complicated…the goal is to achieve an outcome. – Mike Robertson   This week on the Physical Preparation Podcast:  The K.I.S.S. principle and why it’s critical for coaches and trainers to follow it when developing training programs Understanding your client’s needs and fitness goals Avoiding perfectionism and using your mistakes as leverage to improve your success Avoiding comparisonitis and the desire to be different from other coaches The importance of trusting your instincts The concept of ‘checking boxes’ and considering who you’re checking those boxes for The importance of embracing experimentation and novelty when working with clients Understanding individual effects versus average effects The importance of taking care of yourself and realizing there’s more to life than the workout room Living in the moment, embracing the ‘now,’ and the value of meditation Giving yourself permission to pause and realize you have the best job on Earth    Subscribe, Rate &amp; Share!

Martin Rooney on Coaching, Motivation and Culture

Tony Holler

With a father whose entire life was about coaching and a mother whose two brothers became career football coaches, Tony Holler has an apparent coaching bloodline. So, it’s no wonder that he lives his life as a coach, coaching track for 38 years, football for 28, and basketball for 14. As a father, he has passed the coaching blood to his two sons who are now coaches. Now at 60 years old, he has retired from his 38-year career as a chemistry teacher in June 2019 – but he isn’t done yet. Tony is now the Head Track Coach at Plainfield North High School in Chicago, where his teams have won three state championships. He is the owner of the Track Football Consortium, where he provides continuing education for coaches. In addition to writing nearly 200 articles about coaching, high performance, and education, he has also produced the best-selling track-and-field training video: Feed the Cats. In today’s episode, Tony and I discuss how he began his coaching career, pivoting from pre-med to sports. He shares the philosophy behind Feed the Cats and how he teaches kids to sprint. He explains his off- and in-season training programs, and why he believes it’s important for runners to maintain sprint training alongside weight training. He emphasizes the importance of running mechanics. We also discuss an effective alternative to daily, moderate training and the characteristics of a great coach.   Tired coaches are not good coaches. We need to tell them to shut it off and be a dad and be a husband. We are better when we are refreshed. – Tony Holler   This week on the Physical Preparation Podcast:  How Tony pivoted from pre-med to start a career in coaching The inspiration behind Feed the Cats and what it means How he designs his in- and off-season training programs Why Tony made his team stop running and start sprinting How to develop the culture of speed in athletes Tony’s perspective on the importance of weight training for runners The importance of balancing intense workouts with recovery workouts What makes a great coach    Connect with Tony:  Track Football Consortium Tony Holler on Twitter    Stop the Frustration!

Tony Holler on Coaching, Sprinting and Feeding the Cats

Over the last 20 years of my coaching career, I’ve definitely made every mistake in the book when in terms of writing programs and coaching athletes and clients. I got serious about coaching way back when I was at Ball State University in 2000, and ever since, I’ve done everything from one-on-one to large group sessions, and worked in every environment from rehab to high performance. And while I’ve probably committed a hundred mistakes over the years, four of them particularly stand out. In today’s episode, I share the four biggest mistakes I’ve made in my career as a coach. I illustrate how focusing too much in one area can negatively impact a program and highlight the role of setting goals when writing a program. I discuss why coaches need to increase their understanding of conditioning and explain how the fat loss industry has influenced the strength conditioning world. And I also underscore the importance of finding what makes YOU unique as a coach and illustrate how I developed my coaching philosophy.   When we get too focused on one specific thing – whether it’s strength, flexibility, or mobility – it has a tendency to take over our programming. – El Conquistador, MR   This week on the Physical Preparation Podcast:   How I used to use too many resets and correctives in my program The negative impact of focusing too much in one area of a coaching program Why you need to set a goal when writing a program The purpose of resets, correctives, and breathing exercises How I made the mistake of focusing too much on strength training Using strength training to increase force production and desensitize the nervous system How the fat loss industry has influenced the conditioning world Why glycolytic exercises don’t necessarily make great athletes Why you need to understand strength conditioning better The importance of finding your unique coaching philosophy    Resources Mentioned:  Ultimate MMA Conditioning by Joel Jamieson    Key Points to Remember  Resets and correctives should improve movement quality or movement variability. Strength training has a point where we can see diminishing returns. Athletes, rehab clients, and the general population can benefit from a smart conditioning program. Be authentic to yourself.
