Notes and quotes

  • 0:00 – Introduction. “When you ask coaches where they have issues with planning, it is rarely in how you set things but. It’s more in how to adapt it to the situation. How to make it work when the everything changes, logistics throw in a hurdle, etc.”
  • 2:00 – Ideas for training with limited equipment and space and using using station training and modular training.
  • 7:00 – The benefits of training outside.
  • 9:30 – Planning sessions with amateur athletes with inconsistent schedules.
  • 14:00 – Managing fatigue and structuring end of season training: “When it gets toward the end of the season and players are tired, you have to look at what is need to do vs. what is nice to do.” “When athletes are fatigued, you probably went too hard for too long in training. Often you can keep the intensity, but focus on shorter sessions.”
  • 19:30 – Monitoring remote athletes, and pushing accountability to the athlete.
  • 23:30 – Training elasticity for the throwing events.
  • 25:15 – Thinking beyond sports specific training: “Youth parents start asking me for sports specific training: these individuals don’t need sports specific training yet. They need a foundation to build upon first. Can they jump and squat? Address that first before you need a sports specific plan.”
  • 32:00 – The chicken and the egg.
