I have a couple things that might be of benefit for professional development for some of our members.SOLD OUT Dynamic Warmup Considerations for Speed-Power Athletes DVD for only $14.95My DVD publisher misprinted several of one of my DVDs such that the DVD has the content of Dynamic Warmup Considerations for Speed-Power Athletes but the label of Maximal Velocity Sprint Mechanics is on the cover. Th [...]

My training center has recently started a golf fitness training program and I've been looking to purchase some equipment for the TPI professional who will be overseeing our program. In doing so, I've stumbled across some videos that I couldn't help but laugh at. These things were like a bus full of burning nuns....you don't want to look but you just can't tear your eyes away from the horrific [...]

I can't say enough good things about the USATF schools. I am one third the way into my career and I learn something every day from guys like Randy Gillon and Kebba Tolbert. Other great minds are also teaching at the USATF schools and it's awesome to learn so much from not only the instructors but fellow coaches. The Level III school from Las Vegas was a true brain blast that inspired me to keep [...]

Well it's been about 3 months since my last blog entry and probably not too much shorter since my last meaningful forum post. I was caught up in a whirlwind of 70+ hour work weeks and lots of business related travel. Thankfully being busy is a good thing for a business owner on a new venture. But now that I've tied up a couple projects I think I should have at least a little reprieve for the nex [...]

In the trenches? What does that mean? I know many claim they are in the trenches but just training people for money is not the case. I think the definition is what percent of your income is from pure results and what business is a product of word of mouth? I don't care if you work a "four hour work week" or slave away at 80 hours a week with a training group, what matters is the depth of your w [...]

Great video suggestion by Jimson Lee from Speed Endurance. Take a look at the slow motion and see the interaction of the arms and sprinting. I strongly opposed Frans Bosch that the arms have no contribution to sprinting, and when I discussed the stiffness interaction briefly he may or may not have changed his mind regarding to the lats and hamstring issues. [...]

The footage is a bit grainy as my video camera was not charged so I used a still camera video option instead. This video is a good example of proper technique as some montages look like injuries waiting to happen. Feel free to adjust the flight path, speeds, ball weights, technique angles, reps, sets, rest periods, sequences, and even exercises. Make sure it looks good though and is safe and sound [...]

Please note the posture at 50m with Jeter. I am not sure what John has done in training but she is striking with great position of her hips. The pelvic position of Shelly-Ann Fraser will limit her after she becomes upright. The key is to accelerate with more quad stiffness and perhaps we will see sub 10.6 soon. [...]

Here is just an option to compliment your program, not a complete solution to ankle joint function. The great benefit of this exercise is that the joint has very little load on it and it allows you to to free up the foot as well. Remember to apply pressure to the opposite side of the footpad while doing the circles so that the to keep the middle of the foot from binding. What we are trying to achi [...]

What can I possibly say or write that would do this justice. Some things to consider:Has any athlete ever been this much better than all his peers?Is it good for the sport to have someone who is so far ahead of his competitors (essentially ensuring that they have zero chance to win)?Do the outlandish performances potentially encourage more athletes to use performance enhancing drugs in hopes of be [...]
