TRAIN TO PERFORM!!!

Exercise explanation and demonstration. There is a distinct teaching component of active coaching, but the focus is on helping the athlete connect the WHY with the WHAT. Why am I doing this and what impact will it have on my sport.The exercise explanation and demonstration involves an exchange of information related to the aim of the exercise, how it is to be executed, points of reference and cues as well as outlining the expected criteria for successful performance. When demos are executed valuable cues are highlighted, linked to previous exercise experiences and related to sports skills directly. Athletes tend to be more kinesthetically aware of their skill and sport movements and so they can provide to the coach and begin to better understand how to use their kinetic chain to produce more power, balance, control and fluid movement in their sport.

"ESD" Long distance running isn't in the plan unless I'm coaching am endurance athlete. Conditioning should be based on the the need of the athlete pertaining to the sport played. I condition on strength days as well as movement days, this improves muscle condition and lung capacity. To keep it simple: instead of running slow, and slow paced workouts "ESD" will have your muscles and nervous system collectively working together creating efficient movement patterns that help your body work as efficient as possible. 

After training, practice, or competition, the body is left dehydrated, drained of fuel, and broken down.  The body is in a stressed state, and the proper blend of nutrients can jumpstart the body’s recovery process to help you come back stronger and healthier. That's why proper recovery is a key element to efficient athletic performance.  An easy way to keep recovery nutrition as simple as possible is by remembering the three R's: |Refuel(Carbohydrates)|Rebuild(Protein)|Rehydrate(Hydration)| Each of these critical recovery concepts calls for a different combination of fluids, electrolytes, carbohydrates, and protein—each playing a specific role in the recovery process.  Keep in mind what recovery means: in addition to performance benefits, a reduction in soreness, promoting quick adaptations to training, and enhancing muscle repair. Most of us spend our time training, not competing. The goal of recovery is to replace our fuel while rebuilding our muscle. So, in regard

Movement Preparation (Preparing the athlete to move) During Movement Prep the goal is to increase core body temperature, address key mobility and stability demands, and activate the nervous system. It should be done so using movements and speeds specific to the program for the day. Moving from an isolation focus to an movement integration focus, movements will begin simple and slowly move towards more complex patterns at a higher rate of speed. This  safely prepares the body physically and mentally for the training followed.  1.( GLUTE Activation)  I start by activating the glutes using mini-bands around the knees and/or the ankles. The client will perform one round of movements with the legs completely extended and one round of movements in an athletic base where they are flexed at the hip, knee and ankle. Movements will be linearly and/or laterally focused based on the training session that follows 2. (Dynamic Stretches)  Glute activation will be followed by specific dynamic s
