Two 11Bs coaching Tomorrow's superstars

Joining me today is Gary from FitMethod Charlotte. Gary is a former 11B fire team leader and one of the most experienced athletic performance coaches that I know. Listen in to a casual conversation that gives great insight to what you as parent or athlete yourself should be looking for in an athletic performance coach!

Social Media BS

Social media, we've all figured out that it is a great marketing tool, form of entertainment, and communication. Here's a problem though, the amount of contradictory fitness information out there has ruined the trust of strength and conditioning, performance coaches and personal trainers.  If you watch three different posts about a bench press, you'll see three posts that all contradict each other. Why, you're watching someone's method as opposed to a philosophy on coaching. Someone that wants sell the way they do something as opposed to someone that wants find the best way for a client to accomplish their goals. Great coaches have philosophies and understand that their job isn't to impress their way onto someone but rather find a way to bring out the best in those they coach!

You don't know where the mark is! Get to know what energy system that you are training and you reach your goals faster and more efficiently!  

The Athlete's Squat

Why is bilateral squatting the "go-to" exercise to develop speed and power for a field, court or track athlete, when they spend most of the competition on a single leg? In this episode, I will expound upon the need for the single leg squat to become the staple for an athletic training program. Here's a link to a peer reviewed article that backs up my claim. Single-Leg Power Output and Between-Limbs Imbalances in Team-Sport Players: Unilateral Versus Bilateral Combined Resistance Training in: International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance Volume 12 Issue 1 (2017)

The Valley PT 2

Continuation of the story of 3rd PLT A CO 2-508 PIR in the Arghendaub River Valley in 2010. This was a life altering event for every member of the platoon and company. 

The Valley PT 1

In 2009 and 10 I had the privilege of serving in the best platoon of my career in the worst possible situation. The Arghandaub River Valley is where I got my war. It was a 12-month long deployment that forever altered the men of 2-508th PIR 82D ABN DIV. The story of other companies within the battalion is being told. This is my part from my perspective. 3rd PLT A company should serve as a case study for team building, resiliency, and toughness. 

Be Hard to Kill

Be Hard to Kill. Typical tough guy catch phrase, right? What if I told you that it applied to everyone in every walk of life? Being hard to kill doesn't just mean being tough in fight, being able to fight with hands or weapons, it means being successful in life!
