What’s up everybody and welcome the pilot episode of Outside The Rack brought to you by Kinetic Performance the makers of Gymaware. In this show we are going to try to dive a little deeper into the minds of the top practitioners in the world of sport performance to learn a bit more about who they actually are and how they got to where they are at today. To lead off the show I thought I should lead by example and share some of these myself. If I plan on asking others to be open about these things I should do so myself right?

“It’s the player we’re working with, and if they’re successful then by association I’m considered successful as well.”

This week we are joined by Ashely Jones to discuss training the Rugby Athlete. After a quick intro Ashley discusses with us his time with the Samoan National Team including some of the limitation that were associated with dealing with athletes on the island. This leads him into discussing the role of the coach as the teacher, and how a pedagogy background was so important to impacting him as a coach. He then shares with us some of the strategies he’s been most successfully with teaching his athletes how to preform better. He then shares with us some lessons that he’s learned along the way that have been successful at multiple stops. Make sure you check out his work on EliteFTS.com and contact him at ashley@ashleyjones.com.

Dr. Charlie Weingroff gave a presentation at The 2019 Edition of The Seminar was one of the best talks we have ever had. I feel that one huge take home that people missed from this talk is the message he started his talk with, and that revolved around people asking for help, but not listening. To me, this demonstrates a simple part of human nature, and that is searching for confirmation of what we are doing over criticism or corrections.

“Numbers can be very important and can help us find better ways to do things, to be more efficient, and to have better goals to reach for. They can help us decide what we actually need to be training for and why it’s important.”

In this weeks My Thoughts Monday I share my opinion of topic that has been in the news of late, and that is using a device to predict and eliminate injuries. Preventing injuries and predicting outcomes to competition are things that have been a sexy topic of late, but may be unattainable with the human impact on games. We as a vocation need to be careful with where we attach ourselves and how we address these ideas because when things go south we may be setting ourselves up for our demise.

“If I’m only looking at a problem one way, there’s only one solution.”

“What you do everyday is more important than what you do once in a while.”

“When people act authentically and transparently crazy things happen.”

“We don’t base your maturity on your age, we base it on your ownership of responsibility.”

Today we are joined by Liberty University’s Director of Olympic Sports, Henry Barrera to discuss how his building blocks to his programming and department. This idea of filters and frame work have been how Henry has challenged himself to continue to evolve by increasing the ways he is able to evaluate what he’s doing. Henry shares with us how this was put together and what has been driving him forward with these ideas and pushing him to evolve his philosophy. This leads him down the rabbit hole of how this impacts their entire performance team, and how these are the backbones that help with communication and improving their ability to assist their student athletes. Make sure you give him a follow at @hoopdiaries on Twitter and Instagram.

“Peak performance really is an output of a well rested brain and body.”

Dr. Meeta Singh joins us to discuss the role and nuances of sleep in athletic performance in this weeks edition of The Podcast. After a brief intro, Dr. Singh breaks down exactly what sleep is by definition, and how we can quantify it to help our athletes with it. This includes the role of naps, how athlete’s can utilize them to improve performance, and some negative impacts they can have. She then runs down the rabbit hole of a student’s social life and some “party favors” and how they can inhibit sleep and decrease it’s potency. This leads her down the road of sleep monitors, how effective they are (or aren’t) and what a lack of sleep can do to performance. Make sure to give her a follow on Twitter: @athletesleepmd

“While you increase their ability to perform you perform, you then will decrease their likelihood of injury because you've put them in situations where they are going to be stressed similarly to not just practice, but competition.”

There has been an uptick in the number of people discussing the role of the weight room in athletic development of late. This is awesome because it’s driving some really good conversation, but also some really gross click bait when it comes to people putting out some content. In this weeks My Thought’s Monday I share with you some examples of people who are doing a great job of displaying this and how we can use what they’re doing as a driver to how we can be better in our programming, progressions, and outcomes associated with each.

“Athletes are ending their careers early because of nutrition.”

“Sense the beginning of time, in every medical writing, in history, in every system of healing, the number one herb were herbs for stress response, they were adaptogens.”

“More people will research their next refrigerator, their next house, their next purchase, their next care, more than they research their health.’

Jim LaValle joins us today to share how he looks to improve nutrition and health to improve performance. After a brief run down of his background Jim drives right into how nutritional issues are leading to a majority of the problems athletes have, including shortening their careers. He then shares with us some ways he is looking at blood with athletes in a different manner than “general population” to help figure out what is best to provide nutritionally or supplementally with athletes including a in depth break down of how cortisol affects athletes including some misconceptions of it. We then discuss the role of stress management and some pros and cons of modern methods used to measure stress. He then discusses adapatogens, and how many of them have been used for a very long time, because they work. Jim then discusses methods used to get these nutrients and adaptogens into the system, including the future of delivery systems for athletes and limitations to the ones that we have now. Jim then runs down the rabbit hole of how helping athletes nutrition has helped improve their health, improved performance, and taken better care of them when they retire so they feel better and live better lives. We finish off talking about the role of accountability with the athlete in this whole situation, and at the end of the day they’re the ones that have to make the decisions and fix the issues at the end of the day.
