This really is an AMAZING
course. A LOT of "GOLD NUGGETS" Definitely a deeper dive with a lot of
"science." EXACTLY what I was looking for. Great job Coach McHugh!
WOW! I’ve coached Track and
Field for 16 years. I wish I would have known this!!! Great
presentation. FULL of useful and applicable information. If you are a TF
coach, you NEED to watch this course. The neurological information is
applicable to ALL athletes. Great job and THANK YOU Coach McHugh!
This is GREAT information to
have. Love the way CoachTube broke down the sections. Coach McHugh
really knows her stuff. Honestly, she explained some pretty difficult
concepts in an organized, clear and coherent presentation. That is very
useful. Especially for a presentation like this. Going to have to watch
each section multiple times.
SUPER! A lot of great info.
Might be time for CoachTube to get with RPR and get some videos on this
platform! Thank you for the time and effort you put into this
presentation Coach McHugh.
"What I want most will often be found where I least want to look." LOVE that!
Always pushing ourselves as coaches to grow and develop. Great presentation!
SUPER! I really enjoyed the
info. I am going to go out and purchase the Pocket Radar and start
"dialing in" to the velocity decrement. Makes a lot of sense.
I think it has all been said
in previous reviews. But, really appreciate this presentation. It's
really pushing me to think about/question some of the "traditional"
ideas I have had for many years.
Learn how to use Coach
Jay’s car analogy – Build the Aerobic Engine, Strengthen the Chassis,
and Rev the Engine - to reinforce why you’re doing what you’re doing.
Learn the three crucial workoutsyou
need to be doing to build the aerobic engine. You’ll learn what they
are and how to use them in your training. And you’ll learn why you need
to use them in the order they’re presented.
Learn why long runs,
which are crucial for most of your athletes, shouldn’t be used for your
newest runners. Instead, Coach Johnson explains how to use running
circuits to both build their aerobic engines and strengthen their
chasses. He’ll also tell you where to find these workouts on YouTube. Included in thisvideo package is a PDF listing all the exercises in the three circuits.
Finally, learn why Coach
Johnson doesn’t have athletes do threshold runs when they first start
working with him. Threshold runs are useful, and in this video you’ll learn whythey come afterthe first three key engine building workouts.

The
Southeastern Conference (SEC) produces some of the most explosive
athletes in track and field every year. The conference had winners in
the men’s and women’s long jump, women’s triple jump, and women’s high
jump. Taking 4 of 6 jumping events at last week's outdoor national championships in Eugene, OR.
Jasmine Moore of the University of Florida was the first athlete to ever win every conference and national championship in the long jump and triple jump
in the same year. Florida Coach Nic Petersen takes us through the
performance markers and assessments that he uses with his athletes to
examine elite track and field performance ability.
Elastic strength
is the ability of tissues to absorb, store, and release energy. This is
imperative to building elite explosive power. Preparing the body
positions by teaching and cueing them is key according to Coach Todd
Lane of Louisiana State University. It wasn’t too long ago that LSU
developed JuVaughn Harrison into a 6x national champion in the high and
long jump.
Plyometrics
are like glue that holds everything together for jumpers. Nic Petersen
uses plyometrics to connect his athletes acceleration and max-velocity
training. He outlines the parameters that he considers in progression
for his plyometric training.
Errors
will be common in planning and developing elite explosive power. Very
few have got it perfect in their plan in history. The best thing coaches
can do is examine the mistakes of the past. Todd Lane examines 4 common
errors when training jumpers.
While the
SEC might be the most dominant league in recent years. If you’ve paid
attention to the results you’ll notice a couple other schools near the
top with champions and all-americans in the recent events. Coach James
Thomas of Texas Tech coached two women in the top 3 finishers in the
triple jump and Coach Shawn Jackson of Texas Christian University
coached the collegiate men’s triple jump champion.
Strength
and conditioning is the foundation of any offseason track and field
training program. Boo Schexnayder is a name synonymous with detailed
training programs and systems for athlete physical preparation. In the
following clip, the LSU legend describes key progressions and teaching
points for key weightlifting exercises.
Plyometrics
are shown to require high numbers of motor units during explosive
contractions. This increases force production at high velocities. Coach
Larry Judge, a mainstay in the collegiate track and field setting and
coaches education for USATF describes exactly what Plyometrics are as an
introduction to help coaches better understand exactly how to apply
this activity into their own training.
The core
is often considered the bridge between the high ground forces of
plyometric training or sprinting and the upper body intensive lifting or
coordination of limbs. Amana Rego former US olympic trials qualifier
and associate head coach at MSU Denver explains 5 reasons why you need
to train the core.
With a basic understanding of strength and conditioning, plyometrics, and core training you’ll give your athletes' summer workouts the boost they need to take them to another level!
