Exercise explanations and demonstrations.

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.

Success is always rooted in the fundamentals

Train To Perform "Successful performance is always rooted in the fundamentals" Sports performance training can be misunderstood at times, most protocols are to develop the athlete to be big and strong primarily but there's so much more that goes into developing an athlete. Of course all coaches would love to have the prototype athlete, (big an d strong) but with all the intangibles. Fast with great range of motion, strong with great endurance , Agile with great stability etc. In order to develop an athlete in this manner it all comes down to the type of program installed. On every level of sports it is pivotal for the athlete to understand the fundamentals of movements and how those movements translates to higher performance levels. Success is always rooted in the fundamentals, the quality over quality approach quantity wins every time. Training with optimum posture and proper exerc...

Movement Prep (Preparing the athlete to move)

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...

High Intensity Interval Training vs. Steady State Cardio

High Intensity Interval Training vs. Steady State Cardio Whether you do cardio to improve your life or performance in sports one common goal of cardio training is to improve the function and capacity of your energy system. Many people decide the intensity of their workouts based on what they’re looking to accomplish during training. Some prefer steady state cardio (Aerobic) while others prefer high intensity interval training (Anaerobic), they both yield great cardiovascular results so neither is a wrong way to go. Slow steady state cardio or aerobic activity is when an exercise is performed at one steady pace for an extended period of time, maintaining a pretty leveled intensity level or heartrate. High Intensity Interval training or anaerobic training is a technique that alternates between short intense activity with a maximum recovery period, this technique changes the heartrate expeditiously improving your work to rest ratio (Energy System Capacity) A blend of bot...
