32:01

Today I’m super excited to sit down and discuss the preparation programming for wrestlers with Josh Jirgal. Combat sports have become more and more of a “sexy” topic in strength and conditioning with different opportunities becoming available, and Josh is doing a lot of great work with the wrestlers he gets to work with every day. After a quick run-down of how he got to Duke Josh and I get into: 1) A wrestler’s mindset and how it impacts his programming decisions. 2) What he’s looking at to monitor readiness and training status. 3) Communication strategies he utilizes when he needs to lighten the loads on the guys 4) Where the peripheral fatigue of wrestling fits into their developmental program 5) How he looks at “special days” vs the norm for his wrestlers and the impact it has on preparation. 6) The peaking/tapering process with both the wrestlers and the rowing team. 7) Subjective feedbacks role in his fluid model of periodization. 8) Confidence, belief, and its impact on intent of training in the weight room. What a great look behind the curtain to the world of developing college wrestlers. I can’t thank Josh enough for being so open to share not just what he’s doing but the thought process behind his decision making. I really enjoyed hearing how someone coaching athletes in such a unique sport utilizes theory that so many of us do in team sport, and where he’s seeing success with it.

Today I’m really excited to welcome “Mr. Rugby Strength Coach” Keir Wenham-Flatt back to The Podcast, and discuss a different topic with Keir, and that is ways coaches can do better for themselves with secondary forms of income. This is something that, if you’ve ever heard me get on my soap box about, I’m very passionate about, and really feel that we all, me included, need to take a much deeper look at. Throughout the 30-minute discussion “The Rugby Guy” and I get into: 1) The factors that drove him through the steps leading him to each step of his “side hustle” journey. 2) Why there are things that can help coaches improve may not help drive careers forward 3) How having a secondary income stream can help improve your freedom to make better decisions in and out of work. 4) Persuasion vs coercion, how they work hand in hand if you don’t have a backup plan. 5) Escape velocity numbers, what that means, and how it fits with coaches and side hustles. 6) Skills learned from being in business that transferred into coaching. 7) What is Money Moves and why should coaches care? This topic is one that I really think needs to be talked about exponentially more than it is, and one that I’ve tried to push for more coaches to share how they’re finding alternative ways to make some cash to better themselves. To me, it doesn’t matter if it’s finding a second job, starting an online business, or getting into real estate, as long as you are finding a way to better yourself in the long run I think that is absolutely huge. If you have interest in checking out K’s sight for more info on Money Moves or to sign up hop over to www.callmekeir.com/squeeze . I think that this could be a great avenue for many coaches out there to help find ways to scale what they do and make a little extra cash on the side. Keir is one of the few people I talk to when it comes to ways I can be better online, so I was really excited to get him back on The Podcast to talk about this topic. I hope you enjoyed the banter as much as I did, and if you did, please share the show with a colleague that you think could find some value in it.

Though out the nearly 40-minute conversation, Dan and I get into: 1) “What Matters” in strength and conditioning in Dan’s eyes 2) Voluntary movement vs, reflexive, vs anticipatory 3) Where technique fits in movement work 4) If there is one thing that all athletes “have to work towards” what would that be? 5) The future direction of our vocation, and how can we evolve with the future of coaching? 6) What brought Dan to start running down the neurological rabbit hole and where does he suggest we can start educating ourselves on the topic. 7) Unintended consequences to lifting weights and what can be done to counteract that. The unique lens that Dan looks through to evaluate how athletes perform is one that more of us need to take a step back and peer through. This conversation has led me to reevaluate so many of the progressions and programming that we have set. I can’t thank Dan enough for being so open with us today, and challenging me to understand a totally different perspective, one that I know holds immense value.

I am elated to get to sit down and discuss the role and impact of data in the return to play process with The Las Vegas Golden Knights Director of Sport Science and Reconditioning, Dr. Aaron Heishman. Throughout the 35-minute discussion Heish and I get into: 1) The impact of starting with the right mentor, and how his has left a mark on him professionally and continues to drive him forward. 2) Where he sees the role of “sport science” in their organization 3) The balance between skill and power, and the ways they evaluate where they fit on the continuum of how they move 4) The role of data in the RTP process, including what they utilized as preinjury baseline data. 5) How the process of evaluating and interrupting data is what makes it actionable, which is where the value truly is 6) What drives the conversation’s when an athlete is progressing through the RTP process, and how the objective and subjective work hand in hand to drive decisions. Truly grateful for Dr. Heishman taking the time to be on the show and being so open to sharing. He’s doing some fantastic work in Vegas and is an absolute wealth of knowledge that’s absolutely driving our entire vocation forward by pushing the envelope in the performance monitoring world.

In this week we welcome LSU’s Scott Kuehn to The Podcast. I’ve been very fortunate to know Scott for what is going on 10 years, and it’s been fantastic to watch him grow professional and into his role with LSU football. Within the 42-minute discussion Scott and I get into: 1) How attending The Seminar impacted his growth and professional trajectory 2) What “the high-performance model” means to him? 3) Where do practitioners need to start when it comes to building their version of this model? 4) Where understanding the role of internal/external monitoring and subjective/objective lenses, and how they can each combine to provide unique data to help us do better for our athletes 5) The role of technology, and how adding too much to fast can lead to issues. I can’t thank Scott enough for spending the time with us and being so candid with his thoughts on building a high-performance model. It’s been really awesome watching his career trajectory from a far, but I feel it’s safe to say that we can see why he’s climbed the ladder as quickly as he has. He’s doing fantastic work down in Baton Rouge.

The Podcast is BACK! In episode 1 of season 4 I had the fortune of being able to sit down and chop it up with North Broward Prep’s Director of Athletic Development and Head Track and Field Coach, John Garrish. Throughout the 45-minute discussion, John and I get into: 1) Even though his path has changed through his career, how his love in training has still been a driving force behind his decisions. 2) How the idea of “Shiny Object Syndrome” impact coaches 3) The role of identifying value in toys, tools, or tech, and where the research can impact progress either way. 4) Wickets, their value, where they can be helpful, and what you could do if you don’t have access to them, or a group too large to implement them. 5) Building progressions while keeping what’s “best available for the group” in mind 6) Utilizing constraints to correct technical issues in sprinting, and what he’s looking at to identify what need to be improved. 7) Where the weight room connects with speed training, including where its priority sits throughout the year and how that changes. 8) His entire weekly plan in “the perfect world” I’m truly grateful for John being so open to sharing all of this with us today. Understanding how some of the best practitioners provide feedback and put athlete’s in situations to improve technique is so valuable, so I can’t thank him enough for sharing so many aspects of, not just his progressions, but what he’s identifying and correcting. His Instagram full of awesome content, including great “stories” giving great examples of his athletes in action, so give him a follow at: @coach_garrish.
