Being associated with a professional sports team has been a blessing in my life and career. The knowledge and experience training with Coach Philbin (Head Strength and Conditioning Coach for Washington Nationals) has helped me work with all types of athletes.
One is allowing the athlete to have his own style of training. This is ok but as the professional we have to make certain that the foundations of strength are in tack. We need to make certain we are there to advise not to deter them from training of any style. Coach Philbin truly taught me the “Its all good” philosophy. In that he means as long as we are working in the same direction; the path is ok to be different.
Middle and high school athletes don’t usually have enough prior experiences to drift off the path but their influence can lead them off. Those influences sometimes can be: parents, brothers/sister, coaches, Google, and other piers.
College athletes have all of the same plus the influence of usually more piers.
As long as we keep in the strength, speed, and power we will keep the paths consistent.
Just as a reminder we should be strength training in season as to maintenance. Not looking for large gains but to keep the strength and not to lose as the season progresses.
Please feel free to call and ask if you have questions or concerns about your athletes.
"Coaches and parents I want to extend my 20+ years as a professional trainer and strength coach to help you help the players. I have several mentors in my life as a strength coach and trainer that I still count on to help my athletes get to the next level.
Please take a minute to check tip of the week to read how it may affect your athlete."
