Plus, these get more views than anything I put up. I’m not sure what I’ll do if the Crossfit folks stop videoing.

Sports Specific Selling
Posted in Hockey, Injuries, StrengthCoach.com Updates, Training, Training Females, Uncategorized, Youth Training with tags sport specific selling, sport specific training, sports training, strength training for kids on January 18, 2012 by mboyle1959I have talked over and over about learning to speak coach and wrote a post on it here. Learning to speak coach or , learning to speak parent is the key to sport specific selling. One of our StrengthCoach.com members asked about sport specific selling so I wrote the info below.
| Swimming- “lower body strength and power are huge. 50% of the race is start and turn”
Hockey- “strength is huge. Collisions in hockey are at the highest speeds seen in any sport. No one can run faster than the fastest skater and in no other sport do you slam into an immoveable object ( the boards)” basketball- “lower body strength is huge. The easiest way to improve vertical jump is to improve lower body strength”. baseball- “lower body strength is huge. You hit the ball from the ground up starting from the feet and moving through the hips. Try to swing sitting down”. The reality is training is pretty much the same but talking to parents is about learning to speak their language. I could write example after example of how we use the language of the sport to sell the parent on the idea of training. I have never seen a young athlete get involved in a good training program and get worse and I’ve seen thousands get better. What do you think? |
On Your Mark, Get Set, Ouch
Posted in Injuries, Low Back Pain, StrengthCoach.com Updates, Training, Training Females, Uncategorized, Youth Training with tags Weightlifting injuries on January 13, 2012 by mboyle1959I promise this is the last one ( at least for this week). This blog is becoming more and more like Jackass. The key to this one is to watch the trainer. Todays lesson is liability. Never use homemade equipment unless you only train yourself. You have to click the link.
Just One More
Posted in Injuries, Low Back Pain, StrengthCoach.com Updates, Training, Training Females, Uncategorized, Youth Training with tags Weightlifting accidents on January 12, 2012 by mboyle1959This is the best so far. If you don’t want to watch all two minutes, watch the first set of squat to press and body swings and then fast forward to to 1:59.
More “Funny” Crossfit Video
Posted in Injuries, Low Back Pain, Media, StrengthCoach.com Updates, Training, Training Females, Uncategorized, Youth Training with tags Weightlifting accidents on January 11, 2012 by mboyle1959I know people get angry at me for posting Crossfit videos but this one was too good to skip over. It came courtesy of a member on my StrengthCoach.com site. I can’t believe people actually post this stuff. It’s like watching Weightroom Jackass. This guy could have been killed.
