It got me thinking about how we monitor our athletes and how we look at those questions or technology for the answers as to how they are and how we should handle them, but like Anthony Donskov said “context is king.” We jump to conclusions all too often about the athletes mood and effort, but maybe there is some underlying factor to that behavior and how can we reach them better because of this?We are hoping to provide the best possible content for strength coaches with each of our shows.

After a brief intro Nick dives right into some of the unique aspects to his programming. Coach DiMarco dives down the rabbit holes of change of direction vs agility and how they train both, the impact of autonomy on training, conditioning for football, and vetting your staff to make sure they would be open to using “different” means and methods than the traditional training programs.

“You’ve got to historically where that sport has come from.”“Once I realized that there’s only four weird groups of people that like to lift for the sake of lifting, that was a big change in the way I coached.”“The athletes actually often know far more about what they need and how to get themselves in shape and how to keep themselves motivated, so, that two way street, listening, is really important.”“They can spot when you’ve not been in their world a mile off, and that instantly reduces that engagement.”This episode of The Podcast is brought to you by Exxentric, the makers of the kBox and kPulley.

After a run down as to how he has gotten to where he is today Nick dives right down the rabbit hole of connecting with athletes across multiple sports, including not just the sports but connecting with athletes of different cultures and backgrounds. This includes the idea of “positive pollution” and how that not only impacted how he works with his athletes, but his programming as well. Nick shares a great number of ways that he feels he has improved as a practitioner by working more with the athletes as opposed to dictating what the athlete is doing. He then shares with us how not just wearing hats, but also changing your language and direction is super important to increase how the athletes react to training.
