Notes
- Run your own ship - need to be able to make adjustment on your own because coaches will not always be around
- Scouts asking S&C what a player is like!
- Journaling each week and reflecting on the week
- Sleep, final exam before the start, program, drink enough?
- All about Developing trust
- Listening to the players
- Know players you have the best interest at heart
- Push when they need pushed
- Let them rest when they need to rest
- Create athlete profiles
- Movement assessment
- Force plate
- Range of motion
- Baseline test
- FMS
- What is the development from the day they stepped in?
- Movement is the foundation, and whatever is on top of it will fall
- You have to have a baseline of movement
- Explode, load, and drive -
- Track average velo and peak velo
- What does that profile look like?
- Recognize red flags
- Earn the right to load up
- Weight Room where they can just train and be a safe place
- All about patterning (hinge, push, pull , carry)
- Menu of options of the patterns (uppers, lowers, total body,)
- Give them an arm throwing program working with the PC with weightlifting on a calendar. Try to detail as much as possible
- Adapt to skill work, scrimmage,
- Treat it like spring training - hit the most important patterns
- Starters get them on their routine
- Relievers treated like position players - 2 days in season or 4 days in off season
- Always encourage recovery
- Be as consistent as you can on workout days
- In season - be on a routine, be consistent,
- Giving them ownership of a program based on how their body performs, what they like and how it works for them (individualize)
- Master the simple things
- Surveys at the end of fall to get feedback from players on all areas what they like and do not like
- Incoming guys take summer school and it helps tremendously to get used to routine, campus, coaches and their style.
- Not stretching the cold rubber band - lacrosse ball, thera gun, foam roller
- How do I prepare? I’m fixing to go do some work, so attack it in your pre work
- Philosophy - prepare, work, recovery, repeat
- In season we are more “recovery specialist”
- Foam roller
- Cold tub
- Hot tub
- Recovery boots
- Lacrosse ball
- Same movement pattern but different phase of the pattern (load, explode, drive)
- How does their top velo and average velo correlate to show when guys can go back to back and how to program him the days before and after appearance
- What is going on with your body weight?
- The numbers are telling me you just need to rest and recover
- squat , hinge, push, pull, carry
- What movements are they doing on the field
- What the fundamental patterns are - it just doesn’t look right and you address those
- Make time for it in practice - body weight, pushups, balance, stretch
- For us it is movement!! If you are not moving right, work on it
- Heart rate ranges based on who they were (for conditioning)
- Different conditioning for different guys based on their development
- Its not a one size fits all
- Conditioning is about work capacity and does not have to be just running
