Today on the podcast we are wrapping up our epic four-part series on optimizing the competitive year with the Off-Season. At the end of the year we have a bit of downtime to work on new skills, get stronger, faster and kids emotionally and mentally ready to handle the following year. I discuss how to plan for each of these, to get the most out of each training session, and set athletes up for another successful year.

This week on the podcast is part three of the four-part series on how to get the most success out of the competitive year in gymnastics. Firstly we explored the foundational concepts, then last week we used them to break down the Pre Season and program for success. This week we move on to how to optimize our athletes training for the In-Season to hit meets, progress towards goals, and can mentally, physically, and emotionally handle the long demanding season. During the In-Season we're not trying to go crazy and build strength or an engine in our gymnast, with the latest research and my experiences with phenomenal coaches I’ll share the strength conditioning, cardio system, and maintenance care work you should be doing.   I DISCUSS; The main goals of In Season.   Yearly planning and how to peak at the right time.   What strength and conditioning should look like In Season and example workouts.   When and how do you deload sessions.   Have your athlete got a wellness journal?   If you would like to see the full 4 lectures and slides head to my online group Hero Lab:   https://shiftmovementscience.com/theherolab/We appreciate you listening!

Today on the podcast is part two of the four-part series on how to get the most success out of the competitive year in gymnastics. In the first lecture, I discussed the foundational concepts of the competitive year. In this episode, we deep dive how to approach the preseason. How do we get ready for skills? Turn those skills into combinations? What workouts can we do to help build routine endurance and build mental confidence to help get ready for the meet season? I talk about strength conditioning and how to turn the strength gains from the offseason into explosive power that will show up in routines. Sharing important research, some of my favorite workouts, programs, and templates that I've used successfully with my own gymnasts but also Club, College, and Elite teams I have consulted with around the world.    I DISCUSS; the main goals of a preseason.   The best cardio routines you should be doing to get your athletes ready for harder routines.   What you can do in the preseason to really prepare athletes physically, mentally, and emotionally.   The hourglass analogy.   If you would like to see the full 4 lectures and slides head to my online group Hero Lab:   https://shiftmovementscience.com/theherolab/We appreciate you listening!

This week on the podcast, we are kicking off an extremely exciting four-part adventure that has been highly requested by my Hero Lab members, about how to get the most success out of the competitive year in gymnastics. When you look at the competitive year it often becomes overwhelming with what should you be focusing on in the preseason versus the in-season versus the offseason? What is the best strength conditioning, cardio, or approach routine development? I don't have the golden answer that's going to fit everyone. But I'm fortunate over the last 10 years, I've worked with 1000s of gymnasts, as a coach, medical provider, consultant, researcher. Plus learning from phenomenal coaches, I have been able to practically take all of their experiences with my scientific background, and turn it into a successful model of how to approach the competitive year.  In this first lecture, I am going to take people through my state of the approach of what I do right now, starting with some background principles, things we have to know to be successful first, for all parts of the seasons.    I DISCUSS; the basic equation of human adaptation.   How do you find the optimal dose of stress?   Load and recovery cycles.   ALSO…   The 4 main categories you should be focusing on all year round.   If you would like to see the full lecture and slides head to my online group Hero Lab:   https://shiftmovementscience.com/theherolab/We appreciate you listening!
