Jason & Travis Kelce talking about the ridiculousness of baseball conditioning…

“It makes no sense.”

“You should be running SPRINTS or doing base running. Not running foul pole to foul pole.”

STOP treating baseball players like marathoners

DON’T TRUST THE PROCESS!

I haven’t worked with a 100m sprinter in over three years, but now @reeceprescod has dragged me out of retirement so I am back on track.

He has come home full of wisdom after experiencing various training systems around the world, maturing physically , mentally and professionally as an athlete.

Something that has been centre of our discussions has been the strange but commonly used phrase….

“Trust the process”. 🤮

Coaches repeat this all the time but ignore that trust is EARNT not just given.

The audacious thought that athletes should just follow a program and “believe” is ridiculous. In fact many coaches are offended by athletes questioning the process (fragile ego).

When you dig down, many coaches don’t really trust their own process. They HOPE performance will improve but couldn’t bank on it. Maybe that’s why their athletes doubts can fracture their self esteem.

If you can’t trust your own process, why should your athlete?

If you got this far please answer this… how do you build trust with your athletes?

One of the hardest things about the NFL is when a player is hyper focused on getting healthy with an acute injury strategy & comes back de-conditioned in other aspects of their game. It’s very high risk.

Return to play is not the same as return to high performance.

[Brandon Herring @BrandonHerring0]

Sport coaches:

The height of the box is irrelevant. How high does the center of mass travel? That’s all that matters.

Red line is 7th line on the wall.

Reduce risks

[Gerry DeFilippo @Challenger_ST]

10 things athletes should stop doing

1. Conditioning daily

2. Not resting between sprints

3. Maxing out on lifts every week

4. Squatting “ass to grass,” at all costs

5. Only so muscle isolated lifts

6. Worrying about “sport specificity.”

7. Mimicking sport movements in the weight room

8. “Balance,” training on wobble boards

9. Long distance (multiple miles) of running

10. Crunches & Russian twists for “core.”
