What if I told you you could attend 17 hours of lecture from the likes of Tom Tellez, Loren Seagrave, me and others for as little as $131. Crazy huh?I'm very excited to announce I've been invited to present at a World Class Speed Summit in January 2013 with Tom Tellez, Loren Seagrave, Brad Deweese, Jay Dicharry, and Bill Parisi in New Jersey. If you want the details (with a killer coupon code an [...]

The small amount of centimeters of lift produced by sprinters is always talked about as an indicator of oscillation, something jump coaches like Boo Schexnayder talk about constantly during educational sessions. How much bounce is happening? Sometimes the video shows nothing or a still picture can fool the eye to make it look like feet. Does it really matter? Does anyone think that Coach Mills is [...]

I have a love and hate relationship with General Strength. Too many times I see GS "circuits" looking like sloppy hybrids of strength meets aerobics classes with no direction. I often hear a lot of voodoo of hormonal boosting and tissue saturation blending, making me think that we need clarity with what we are doing with general exercises. General strength is a backbone of movement meets conditi [...]

Recently, I did an interview with Latif Thomas for a product release (Tellez/Pfaff seminar videos). The interview with Latif Thomas ended up being rather lengthy (i.e., 24 pages) and covered a wide range of topics. You can download it for free.They are being offered for $77 until midnight on Friday, the 21st. The T&F Legends:Note: These are the same videos that I offered last year in connection th [...]

It's not what to coach, it's what to leave alone. Often I hear cues that are most likely descriptive factors, meaning hints to athletes of what to do when in reality they have no real ability to execute such a task. I remember when Richard Quick presented in Burlington at a local clinic before his passing someone asked a question of what drills or cues he used to fix certain movements. His respo [...]

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Tom Tellez and asked the questions that most coaches had about the current debates on forums and one of them was on vertical and horizontal forces. Like any master of coaching, Tom at a ripe age of 76 was sharp and created clarity to what was going on. I can't say enough good things about him as for two hours we addressed some very high level concepts and T [...]

Sometimes sprinting has a paradox or phenomenon that needs some investigating, and that's when Pierre-Jean Vazel is a invaluable resource. One can argue he is the best in the world at sharing the context of performance in the sprint events. Below is a quote from member Evan (Davan) and I will elaborate on this in a few paragraphs.Since pretty much everyone does starts or some kind of acceleratio [...]

As time went on, we found different supplements to be more valuable than steroids....We found that using the whole complex of vitamin B could help add 3–4 meters to a throw. -Anatoly Bondarchuk No matter how glamorous something seems to be we must look at the context of the results. For example Bondarchuk has been used as an example of superior techniques but when we look more clearly at th [...]

For those joining us late in this discussion in regards to the use of the olympic lifts, The Thinker, has shared facts and opinions regarding the olympic lifts. What I liked about The Thinker is that he joined us and was polite on the discussion board and addressed all that he could in his spare time. The Thinker is a great addition to our forums as he places a lot of effort into sharing his opini [...]
