These are the three (and a half) main aspects of the High Jump explained in an understandable manner. The session will give you the tools to implement these techniques with your athletes, from the newbie freshman to the 4-year senior.
This pole vault session will cover the background, fundamentals, drills and the “coach’s eye”. Although the pole vault is arguably one of the most complex disciplines in the sport, we will simplify it to build a solid foundation for all coaches.
This session will begin with the basics of block starts and the components necessary to execute consistently good starts. We will discuss common errors to look for and ways to correct them.
A systematic approach to teach your athletes an order of drills to progress from the standing throw to the full glide throw. This progression lays out a basic practice schedule for each session. Using these progressions will have your athlete using efficient and proper technique in a very short time frame.
This course will cover the basics of the two horizontal jump disciplines in Track & Field: the Long Jump and the Triple Jump. We will cover basic history, techniques and training methods.
Endurance training presents both a cardiovascular and a neuromuscular challenge. Accordingly, the foundational components of a corresponding training program should include a focus on continuous, cumulative aerobic power development and appropriate, race-specific neuromuscular development.
This introductory presentation consequently addresses the essential components of a foundational endurance training program that allow for the simultaneous, complementary and integrative development of the cardiovascular and neuromuscular qualities that underlie successful high school cross country and distance running performance.
Are you a distance coach being asked to coach the high jump? Are you a thrower thrown into the high jump? Are you a math teacher looking to get involved? This is the session for you! We will be addressing the basics of the high jump from the proper set up of the equipment to some simple technical aspects that are easy to master to get your kids off on the right foot!
A systematic approach to teach your athletes the progression from the standing throw (front of circle), half turn throw (middle of circle) and full throw (starting at the back of the circle). At the end of the lesson you will have specific steps and directions to teach your athlete how to use the rotational technique for both the shot put and discus.
Planning sprint workouts can be complicated—especially when working around meets and considering the needs of multi-event athletes. This presentation will provide some simple guidelines to get the most out of your weekly training sessions while keeping athletes healthy and avoiding over-training
“Mass Specific Force” is a unique, simple and extremely effective approach to lifting weights for increasing speed. It is applicable to many sport disciplines, especially those where speed is a key performance indicator.
In this distinctive and radical approach to the weight room, the training goal is to increase strength levels without increasing body weight. The increase in force applied to the ground in relation to body weight improves stride length and stride frequency… the holy grail to running faster! This system of lifting has directly benefited some of the top athletes in the NFL, NCAA, Olympics and High School level.
Efficiency is the key! Minimum time, minimum equipment while accomplishing the goal of large strength increase with minimal weight gain.
