Coach Glass Podcast

Everyone wants more speed. I have lectured for over a decade on rotational power as it was the hot topic on the sport performance circuit. Now it is all about speed. These 2 topics are basically talking about the same thing. Where we focus the lens may change but it is still about hitting the ball farther. Kinematic sequencing, ground reaction force, rotational plyometrics, neuromuscular training or all out power. Pick your poison and then jump in the rabbit hole with both feet! In this episode I share my philosophy on speed training and the tools I use to activate the athlete and measure the speed they produce. I also debate the various training protocols that are quickly becoming the doctrine. The authors of these programs may not like what I have to say but if I can't stand on my soap box and put my 2 cents in...why do I have a microphone? All the protocols I share from each organization work. You can try them all and let me know which one works best for you! If you want to get in the speed game I have some nice discounts for you.

**Spoiler Alert** You don't have to watch the Squid Games to learn from the Squid Games. Today we do a deep dive into the underlying theme on the record breaking Squid Games Netflix series. It is all about the human condition. At the deepest level we are simply organisms fighting for survival. Luckily for most of us, we live in a bubble wrapped world where our food, shelter and basic needs are readily accessible. That doesn't mean that our survival mechanism is lost. It is just hiding deep inside our reptile brain. When released, this survival mechanism is expressed in the rawest form. The best and worst inside us is revealed. This is what makes the Squid Games so riveting. What would you do if you were faced with a life and death decision that would determine whether you or your competitor continues in the game of life? Die with honour or live with the pain of knowing that you took the life of an other. Luckily in business and sport it isn't life or death. But somehow we are faced with the same decisions. Which one do you choose? Thank you to our sponsors. @mytpi @perform_better Register for all your MyTPI classes here: http://www.mytpi.com/certification/seminar-calendar Want to buy some equipment?

The start of the 2022 PGATour, NFL, NHL and NBA are just around the corner. This means it is time to test our professional athletes and get a baseline for the year. Testing lets us know where the athlete stands on a functional movement level, strength and power outputs, neuromuscular function and readiness to compete. There are a ton of wearable technologies that you can use to track the progress of your athletes. Just understand that whether you track it or not, it still is happening. How accurate the devices are is a debate for another day. The important thing to do is make sure that your testing protocols are consistent, repeatable and reliable against themselves. If you got on a scale that says you are 150 lbs when you know you are 200 lbs you can still use the scale. As long as it is accurate to itself it will indicate whether you gained or lost weight. Is the number the important thing or is it the awareness of change you are looking for. Accuracy only matters when you want to compare against norms. Before you start posting your angry retorts, I believe you should always use the most accurate devices possible, just making a point here. So what do you test for? What is important to you? What do you want to know more about when it comes to your athlete's progress? In this episode I go DEEP into what I like to measure and why I measure it. I also discuss common screening systems and help a Glistener decide if he should go to @mytpi Fitness Level 2 or Medical 2. My reasoning behind it is a lesson in itself!

In this episode I catch up with my good friend @damongoddard to chat about coaching the World’s #1 golfer @jordanspieth. We discuss how the tools we use to train our @PGATour players can easily be applied to the amateur golfer to create massive positive change in their game. We go DEEP into topics such as: how you need to be willing to be fired to truly do your job as a coach, creating the empowered athlete, the ultimate dynamic warm up, movement based exercises, and so much more. I caught up with Damon while in Dallas and had a chance to check out his new facility.
