A private meeting was in the Concord and Lexington area, purposely located to symbolize the future of what is happening in Boston. I predict that more private style workshops such as the one hosted by Ricardo will be the future. Flying halfway around the world needs to be more than just visiting a professional team and doing a keynote, the bar is raised as hotel and airports are not enough to make [...]

Last weekend my track and field team brought home their 6th district plaque in 7 years. Obviously, this is a difficult task to accomplish and I couldn’t be more proud of this group. The weather has been horrible all spring with wind, rain, and lots of snow. In addition we lost a couple of our best distance runners this year/last year due to relocation out of town. Outside of track my family has [...]

Numbers are not good or evil, they simply are hosts to context. A lot of hype and commercialism now with technology and training with people monitoring and looking at player tracking data. When I was young I got a magic set when I was young and being a product of the 1980s, I thought I was going to be the next David Copperfield. I am a fan of magic still, and love seeing street magic in New York, [...]

Just getting in hours will not do it. Anyone can go through the motions, huff and puff and look like they are working. Just doing work is not good enough; you must train with ICE – Intensity, Concentration, Effort. If you consistently achieve a high ice score eight to ten on a ten-point scale. A score of ten being frigid, ice cold then you will the workout. If you can consistently win workouts t [...]

Yesterday I was sent a link to an article of why cleans may not be the best option for everyone. What was concerning is that many coaches are shying away from the olympic lifts more and more, and now lifting in any form besides single leg options with light loads is the new normal. No exercise is magical, and ten years ago I wrote an article about overzealous coaches demanding that everyone do oly [...]

"A second use of neurodoping might be in skill acquisition. Skills learned in the context of anodal tDCS are acquired more rapidly and reproduced more accurately than those learned without."Dr. Davis from Neurodoping: Brain stimulation as a performance-enhancingLooks like the Doping community is ahead of the testing with brain drugs. Years ago nootropics were popular because many of them were le [...]

I am in favor of the Poland School of Regeneration, since software without hardware is just a dead computer. I am also shocked how many people who do attend Modality Empires and buy civil war tools to scrape fascia are so lost that one must witness real therapy to recalibrate reality. Waldemar, one of the top physiotherapists is not just hype or attached by athletes, but a master therapist who is [...]

I didn't get to make it to the Central Virginia seminar but much of the speaker notes are available online right not so people can see what might be at BSMPG this May and what may be talked about next year. With all of the player tracking nonsense I see on twitter, it's important to create a foundation of what is real and what is coach candy, cool stuff that has very little impact in the game. P [...]

It appears that a precise system of afferent feedback mediates the overall perceived exertion response during high-intensity running, and psychological intervention that alters pre-exercise expectations has minimal feedforward effect on exertion ratings taken postexercise.-Dr.Hampson et alSomeone the other day asked me what the biggest problem we face today in coaching and they were shocked to hea [...]

"Athletes evaluated during two seasons showed no changes in their nutritional behavior, consuming similar amounts of energy, calcium and vitamin D at both assessment points."-Dr. Garcia and Dr.Guisado I am not here to place judgement on a gruesome injury, but I think I will look at my blood testing schedule again to ensur [...]
