Part of being an effective track and field coach is constructing training for athletes that's designed to address the demands of their events. Over the years, I've developed relationships with numerous coaches from a wide variety of sports.  I'm alarmed by the high percentage of coaches who don't design training based on the demands of their sport.  While there are track coaches who fall into this category, the percentage of field and court (FC) coaches (particularly soccer, football, and basketball) is substantially higher.

When I talk to these coaches, they throw around terms like an athlete has great “game speed” or is “football fast.”  When asked to explain how their training addresses these phrases, they dance around the question and often give an unsatisfactory answer.

How To Reverse The Effects of Aging 

By: Yaw Boakye-yiadom

If you are one of the many out there who have suddenly realized that you appear much older than you really are, and have been looking for a solution, then you couldn't have come across a better article than this one. The human body is not perfect, and so with advancing age, the capacity of the various systems to replace worn out cells and remove toxins diminishes, but with the right tips, you can help the body function a bit more efficiently, almost as close to a teenager's for many more years. You will be surprised to learn though that not all organs in the human body need to replace cells, because some organs, like the muscles of the human heart, don't replace cells, but the cells merely increase in size. Even with such organs, these tips will help them sustain their vitality. Nutrition and Exercise The foods we eat provide the cells with the necessary nutrients, but not all of them are helpful. While some help the body, making it look much younger, others accelerate the ageing process. For example, many fried foods, contain anti-glycation end products as well as bad fats, in addition to other free radicals, that accelerate the ageing process, and so if we really want to look younger, we need to get our diet right. Never reuse cooking oil more than once. Each day, consume 5 servings of fruits and vegetables, three servings of whole grains, 5 to 8 ounces of water, and obtain less than 40 percent of your daily calories from fats. If you can, do perform moderate exercise each day. Using a treadmill each day can be helpful. Take the right drugs Although eating the right diet goes a long way to increase the anti-ageing effects, food alone isn't enough, and so you would have to take the right supplements. A group of drugs, known as anti-oxidants, destroy free radicals, helping the cells of your body to live much longer. Daily supplements of 200 to 240 milligrams of vitamin C, 100 to 400 international units (IU) of vitamin E, and a mixed carotenoid supplement of 6 to 10 milligrams can help slow the ageing process significantly. In menopausal women, hormone replacement therapy can reduce the ageing process significantly, strengthening bones and reducing the chances of a fracture occurring because of brittle bones. Take care of wrinkles It has often been said that one way to guess a man or woman's age is to look at the skin. Many people, however, want to look good and young, and therefore find the skin wrinkles that occur with ageing undesirable. If you are one of them, then I want you to know that you can remove the skin wrinkles without spending too much money. Free radicals, which was mentioned earlier, increase skin wrinkles. To reduce the wrinkles on your skin so you can look as good as a movie star, follow the dietary advice provided earlier, taking antioxidant supplements like vitamins A and E. Besides free radicals, the greatest contributor to skin wrinkles is chronic exposure to sunlight, and so in order to reduce wrinkles, minimize exposure of your skin to sunlight, and whenever possible apply a solar cream to your skin. Using skin creams, or wrinkle creams fortified with vitamin C will do wonders for you Sleep Getting enough sleep each day will help maintain the vitality of your body. Research has shown that getting about 6 to 8 hours of sleep each day will help keep your heart strong, reducing the risk of a heart attack or stroke. Sleep is also good for your emotional state. In addition to this, recent evidence suggests that viral diseases are prevalent among people who sleep less. You don't have to spend a fortune just to look young. With the tips listed above, the ageing process should slow down drastically, and if you do it well, you will look 10 to 15 years younger than your age.

No Offense

Kenneth Copeland

He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

1 John 2:10

Whenever you find yourself stumbling into failure or sin, check your love life. Sit down with the Lord and ask Him to show you if you’re in strife with anyone or if you’ve taken offense. If you have, the devil can come in and trip you up.

As a preacher, I’ve seen that happen countless times. I’ll be preaching about something and some believer will get upset with me about it. He’ll decide I’m wrong and go off in a huff—and first thing you know, he’s in trouble.

Mark 4:17 tells us the devil uses those kinds of offenses to steal the Word from our hearts. He causes us to get crosswise with each other. Then he’s able to pull the plug right out of us and drain the Word like water from a bucket.

Don’t ever let that happen to you. If you hear a preacher or another believer saying something that rubs you the wrong way and you catch yourself getting offended say, “Oh no you don’t. You’re not stealing the Word out of me, you lying Devil.” Then get right down on your knees and repent before God.

Search the Word and listen to the Spirit within you and find out what you should do. If you still feel what that person said to you was wrong, pray for him.

Remember, taking offense never comes from God. He says we’re to be rooted and grounded in love. So reject those feelings of offense. Give yourself to that person in love and in prayer. You’ll be able to walk right on through that situation without ever stumbling at all.

Book Review- "THE ARM BY JEFF PASSAN"

Bruce Kelly -

First, let's be clear about my bias. I am a baseball fanatic: I still play (65+ games last year), I train some baseball athletes amongst others and I am a huge fan of the game.

  That being said this book is a must read for most on this website as well as baseball coaches, trainers and parents who have young kids who love baseball. To me this book is  essentially a metaphor for much of what is wrong with the so called industrial youth sports complex. So though baseball is obviously the topic for this book you could substitute AAU basketball or track, summer 7 vs. 7 passing games for football, all manner of travel soccer/lacrosse/name your sport and the point is very similar.

   Jeff Passan spent 3 years literally traveling the globe to try to find an answer to the question of why arguably the most valuable commodity in all of sport, the pitching arm, is so abused  and injured and yet no one has really come up with a definitive answer to solving this multi-billion dollar question.

    There are all kinds of theories as to why this is the case but the only definitive strong correlation is overuse and especially early overuse.

  Try these stats on for size:

• Kids who pitch 100+ innings in a calendar year were 3.5 times as likely to get injured than those who didn't.
• Kids who pitch year round have the highest injury rate according to the ASMI (American Sports Medicine Institute, Dr. James Andrews organization)
• Kids who regularly pitch with arm fatigue are 36 times (yes, you read that right) likelier to undergo elbow or shoulder surgery than those who don't
• Kids who pitch in games more than 8 months of the year need surgery 5 times as much as those who don't. So much for the advantage of warm weather and year round baseball!
• A study published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine found that kids who play travel ball are 5 times more likely to suffer elbow pain.

Discover Exactly How I Went from a 4.66 to a 4.30 40-yard Dash!

Jimmy Lamour - Strength and Conditioning Coach New Level Performance

See the journey of Jimmy Lamour and discover his training program that took him from a 4.66 as a freshman to a 4.30 for the New Orleans scouts!

The 4.30 journey is a story that every athlete that has had to run a 40 yard dash can relate to. It is my journey from running a 4.66 40 yard dash as a freshman in college to running a 4.30 for the New Orleans Saint scouts and the New Orleans Arena 1 football team.

I will not lead you to believe that it is as easy as most speed centers all across America advertise. It takes perseverance and hard work. In this journey I will give some insight into the mental preparation, strength training, speed training, nutrition, and environment that was in place during this time. I must warn you that I did not know anything about Elite Fitness and did not adhere to a concurrent system of training. The point is although the program design was flawed and is not what I recommend to my clients the hard work that I put in led to some positive adaptations.

Mental Preparation

My mind was extremely focused at this time because I was not far removed from College, was married, had one son, and another son on the way. I felt that this was one of my best chances to achieve something great and provide a better life for my family. My buddy was a scout for the saints and arranged the tryout for me, as well as gave me a place to stay while I was down there. Every day I had training sessions I would wake up at 4:30 a.m. and lift weights, go to my full time job, and run at the local college during my lunch break. I was what you would call in the zone. I envisioned myself at the facility in New Orleans running the best 40 yard dash ever. I went through my warm-up in my mind, my stance, my first step and saw myself succeeding. Envisioning your success is one of the steps that is often left out in program design, but can have some profound effects. I believe if you don't believe it you won't achieve it.

Strength Training

My training was a sporadic mix of everything I learned from strength coaches during my high school days and college days. This was mostly a hybrid of Olympic movements, linear periodization, and hypertrophy based training. In the training world as we know it now this type of training should have caused me to be crippled and slow as dirt. The more I train the more I question philosophies on paper because I have found that you must test everything on numerous people with great success before you can come to any conclusions.

Basic Training Template for Racquet Sport Athletes

Bruce Kelly Training since: 1984

Certifications Others, NASM Certified Personal Trainer, NSCA Certified Personal Trainer

Specialties Athletic Training, Functional Training, Group Personal Training, Kettlebell Training, Strength and Conditioning Training, Personal Training

First of all, this template is based on training principles I have used with my squash team over the years and actual training exercises we have done. Though I haven't trained team of athletes from other racquet sports, like tennis and badminton, the sports have many more similarities than differences and this program should work well for other racquet sport. Racquet sports require multi-directional movement skills, power, agility and quickness as well as a high level of fitness/conditioning. This program is aimed at covering those bases while at the same time realizing that some of the components of training, such as conditioning, will be done in on-court drills as well

.

This program is also aimed at beginner/intermediate level racquet sport athletes i.e. those with generally less than 2 years consistent, regular training under their belts. And by training I don't mean practicing their sport or skill sessions. I mean "off-court", supervised designed athletic development programming. Telling someone to go ride the stationary bike for 20 minutes with no more guidance than that doesn't constitute training in my book.

In addition, I am not going to go into specifics of conditioning for racquet sports other than to say it requires a combination of aerobic and anaerobic training because the sports require fitness from both ends of the energy system spectrum. Finding the optimal blend of these two forms of training is both the art and science of conditioning for sports.

Nor am I going to get into agility/change of direction training which in squash training is frequently done on court to kill several birds with one stone, so to speak. This is a beginner program so many performance and injury prevention issues will be resolved with the basics: improved strength, mobility and power.

Foam Rolling/stick work/small ball work: Not going to go into particulars on this as there are articles on the website that cover that but concentrate on glutes, hamstrings, quads/hip flexors, t-spine, lats, and feet (ball work). 5-8 minutes of focused work should do it.

Mobility/dynamic warmup: Concentrate on similar areas to the foam rolling. Sample routine might look like this:

a. Wall slides x 10 reps

b. Ankle mobs: wall touches x 10 ea............Join StrengthCoach.com to keep reading.....

BodyrockTV Featuring: Lunge & Round The World and 5 SIGNS YOUR EATING HABITS ARE TOO RESTRICTIVE

5 SIGNS YOUR EATING HABITS ARE TOO RESTRICTIVE

AUTHOR: BODYROCK

POSTED in WEIGHT LOSS

Dieting can be a major problem. Diets  often require you to follow strict guidelines with regards to what, how and when you eat but they don’t really do much to help you understand and listen to your body and its internal cues. Diets  can make you unnecessarily anxious and worried about your calorie consumption. Dropping your caloric intake is one of the keys to weight loss but it is not the only one.

A post shared by BodyRock.Tv (@bodyrockofficial) on Mar 1, 2017 at 6:02pm PST

Ditching the restrictive diet concept and adopting mindful eating habits is a far more sustainable way to shed pounds. It allows you to think about the nutritional value of your food while paying attention to what your body is telling you it needs and/or wants. Some days, you will need a little more food than you do on other days and that’s okay. You need to be able to cut yourself a little slack. If you are too stressed out about your eating, you’ll raise your stress levels which can only make things worse. When you’re stressed, your sleep will be thrown out of whack and your stress hormone, cortisol, will rise — neither is good for weight loss!

Here  is how to use mindfulness to beat 5 common diet problems:

1. You don’t go to parties because you’re afraid you can’t eat what is being served.

Mindful solution: Relax. Go to the party and have a good time. Be your charming and lovely self. It is okay to have those foods now and then! If you must, limit yourself to only the foods that really speak to you. The ones that tempt you. If it doesn’t taste amazing, don’t eat it. It isn’t going to taste any better if you eat more of it. Similarly, if something tastes wonderful, enjoy it. Eat small bits and love every second of it. Slow down and TASTE it!  Again, it isn’t going to taste better if you eat more so really relish in the bits you are consuming!

2. You really “want” dessert but think you “shouldn’t.”

Mindful solution: Dessert can be hard to navigate. Sweet treats trigger our brain’s reward centers and make it difficult to slow down. When dessert time rolls around, ask yourself a few questions: are you full? Is this a special occasion? If the answer is yes, have some dessert! And don’t worry about how you “shouldn’t” be eating it, just enjoy it. Slow yourself down, take your time with it. It can take your brain up to a 30 minutes to register that your stomach is full. By slowing down, you reduce your chances of overeating. Maybe you only need or have room for half of the dessert. Or maybe you end up eating the whole thing. And if you do, it’s not the end of the world. No one can white knuckle their way through life forever trying to avoid any and all temptations. Give yourself a break!

3. All of your meals from the past month have been nutritious and healthy but you didn’t really enjoy them.

Mindful solution: Eating well doesn’t mean you have to eat food that tastes like cardboard. Steamed broccoli and chicken is great but it can get old pretty fast, we get it. You can eat a wide range of nutritious meals without ever giving up on flavor. It is okay to add a little maple syrup to your morning oats or you can dip your raw veggies in some hummus. Don’t eliminate any major food groups from your diet, you won’t be able to sustain it. If you really like a certain dish and it doesn’t fit completely into your healthy eating plans, find a cleaner way of making it. There are lots of  food swaps out there that can bump up the nutritional value of your meal without taking away any of the pleasure. It might take a little creativity but the effort is worth it if it gets you closer to your goals, right? If you don’t even know where to start with this sort of thing, give a meal plan a try. The BodyRock Meal Plan is an excellent place to start. It offers 30 days of meals and snacks that more than prove that healthy eating is far from boring. Full of flavor and variety, this plan is easily adaptable to your personal tastes. It comes with a nutrition guide that will help you better understand the ins and outs of clean eating so that when you are done the 30 days, you will know exactly how to plan and prepare healthy meals for the rest of your life! Stop eating food you don’t enjoy!

4. You constantly eat celery or carrot sticks because you are  always hungry.

Mindful solution: Being on a diet doesn’t mean that you should be hungry. As we said above, try not to remove whole food groups from your diet. You’d be amazed at how many calories you can cut from your diet without having to go “no carb” for example. Replace your fancy sugar laden coffees and sodas with water, or if you need flavor, fruit infused water! You’d be amazed at how many calories you save that way! When it comes to what you are eating, make sure you’re taking advantage of healthy fats, fiber, and protein. These foods are digested more slowly which means they stay in your stomach longer, keep your blood sugar level, and prevent you from feeling constantly hungry.

5. You’re afraid to eat out at restaurants.

Mindful solution: It is true, when you’re trying to eat clean, restaurants can be a scary place. But remember, you don’t have to eat all the food that gets put in front of you. Skip the bread basket and appetizers and stick to the main entree. Eat slowly and know that you can take home what you don’t finish. It is important to keep in mind that restaurant servings are ridiculously large, if you take your time, chew your food, and truly enjoy your meal, you won’t need to eat all of it. If it helps, ask your server for take home container when the food arrives and put half in the container before you even get started. If you only eat until you are satisfied, you’ll never have a problem!

Being restrictive with your diet creates an obsession with the numbers and little else. So much about losing weight and getting healthy has to do with how you feel. Doing something that makes you feel anxious or guilty will not be effective in the long run. Adopt a mindful approach! Allow yourself to eat small amounts of whatever you want. Food should never leave you with regrets!
