“Discover the Key Training Principles That I’ve Used to Build Some of the Most Powerful, Most Agile, and Most Successful Athletes on the Field and on the Court”

 See why I’ve developed the reputation for turning out
college scholarship-level athletes year after year 

Dear Athlete,

I am proud to say that in my training and coaching career, I’ve helped countless athletes to improve their on field performance by properly preparing them for their sports. 

I am also proud to say I’ve played a role in raising my athletes’ performance to play at levels that have earned many of them college scholarships.

Don’t get me wrong.  I don’t take any credit for their physical abilities that make them great athletes.  However, I do take credit for assuring that they are not merely prepared to play their sport but that they are capable of demonstrating their physical abilities to the highest possible level. 

How do I assure that my athletes are the best prepared athletes on the court or on the field?

By applying specific training principles that I’ve determined to be the missing link in most athletic strength and conditioning programs.

These are the principles, when applied correctly, make average athletes better, good athletes great, and great athletes great on every single play.

<<<Watch the Demo>>>

You see, from my first day in the field of strength and conditioning and athletic preparation, I’ve been very analytical.  I’ve dissect everything, and when a training principle works, I want to know why it works.

Let me give you an example of what I mean.

My first experience in the strength and conditioning field was as a volunteer in my universities strength and conditioning program.

After watching the first workout, I had nothing but questions…Why do you do that?  What is your reason for this?  Is that for everybody?  How does that relate to what the athlete does on the field? At that time, I was asking simply because it was all new and exciting to me and I wanted to learn.  After hearing some of the answers, I walked away thinking, “Okay, I am more confused than before I asked.” 

A few years later I found myself in Florida working at a very respectful, elite athletic training facility.  Once again, I found that my hand was going up every 5 seconds to ask questions.  However, this time…I found that the answers always pacified the issue at hand.  However, this time…I found that the answers always pacified the issue at hand. I always walked satisfied, even though the answers always lead me to ask yet even more questions. 

It didn’t take long for me to figure out what was happening. I had gotten confused because the information being passed on to me just didn’t make sense.  In other words, it was just simply wrong.  That coach had never taken the time to assess what his athletes truly did in their sports. 

He had never dissected the athletes’ environment to evaluate the type of forces that were actually encountered by the athletes.  He simply trained his athletes exactly the same way that his mentor trained HIS athletes.  Without question, he implemented rep for rep and set for set the exact same programs his mentor used.  To me that opens the door for a lot of problems.

What do athletes really do?

Now, off of the top of your head, tell me exactly what athletes do in their sport?  I don’t mean tell me their position. I mean WHAT DO THEY REALLY DO as they play their sport? Don’t be general, be very descriptive and dissect their activities.

In what direction do athletes apply forces when they accelerate?  What about when they decelerate? How about cutting? Swing a bat?  Tackling another athlete? Throwing a ball? Kicking a ball?

If you could draw lines to represent the direction of the forces that athletes encounter, what direction would they be?

What you would discover is that pure vertical loading rarely exists in sport.   (Prove to me that I am wrong.  I dare you!!!) Except for the tip-off at the beginning of a basket.phpball game, I cannot think of any sport where the majority of force application/absorption isn’t heavily influenced by horizontal forces.

Time in and time out we see the expression and absorption of horizontal forces in sport.  Why is this important? Well, let me answer that with two more questions-Will the same muscles be used in the same way to deal with horizontal versus vertical forces? How will rotational forces change things?

Here is a very remedial example: Hold your arm straight out in front of your body and have a friend press down on it.  What muscles are going to activate to deal with the load?  Hold your arm in the exact same starting place.   Have your friend push your hand out to the side.  What muscles are going to activate to deal with this load?

Did you notice a difference in how you used the muscles around your shoulder? Did you notice a difference in your abdominal muscles and lower back?  How about in your hips and legs?  What it boils down to in the end, is that the joint angle does not provide the definitive decision on which muscles are going to be activated.

It’s the direction of the force that will make the final decision on how the muscles will be activated.

Let’s take this a step further.  Assume a push up position and concentrate on your core area (hips, abdomen, and lower back). What are your muscles doing?  Think about the how gravity pulls downward on the body to activate your muscles in a certain pattern or direction. 

Now pick one hand up without shifting your hips and shoulders (If you’re strong enough!).  Maintain that straight line with your body.  Now, tell me what you feel through your abs, hips, and lower back.  What are your muscles are doing? 

Supporting yourself with only one side of your body made staying strong and stable a lot more difficult…and impossible for many athletes.

Think about how many times you are starting, stopping, balancing, pushing, pulling, and throwing through only one side of the body.

Why is this important?

Let’s answer the “why is this important” question by examining what is happening in the weight rooms through North America.  There is fairly standard set of exercises you see in almost all programs:

□       Squats-Vertical loading

□       Bench press-Vertical loading

□       Lunge-Primarily Vertical

□       Pull Up-Vertical loading

□       Leg Press-Truly vertical if you analyze what is happening.

□       Olympic Lifts-Vertical loading 

The list goes on!!!

Form Follows Function

Take a look at our own muscular anatomy and you’ll see that very few muscles in the body have fibers that are strictly vertical.  Most have fibers that run diagonally and horizontally to allow athletes to produce strength in rotation and against horizontally applied forces.

I don’t want you to misinterpret the point I am trying make.  I am not discrediting the value of the basic exercises like squats, presses, and Olympic lifts.   Other than the leg press, these exercises and their various forms are foundational in my own training programs.  I view these exercises as essential for almost all my athletes. 

However, I also recognize that on their own, they won’t produce the maximum carry over to sport.  They will produce good carry over, no doubt, but the results will not be the greatest given that a very big component of the athlete’s true environment is neglected…horizontal and rotational loading.

Horizontal and Rotational strength exercises are the difference makers.  They are the glue that helps tie everything together.  They are not the total picture, rather a key (and most often neglected) piece of the puzzle.

They are the missing link.

They are the difference between making the big play versus not getting an opportunity to make the big play.

That’s why I’ve developed my program called

3-Dimensional Strength Training

Rotational and horizontally-directed forces are the predominant forces experienced during most sports.  These types of forces are typically the result of momentum, acceleration and deceleration, movement of an implement (throwing, kicking, and catching), or contact with another athlete’s body.

Since the body’s muscular response to these forces is dictated by the direction of the force.  It is essential to include horizontal and rotational loading techniques when designing resistance training programs.

Through the course of this video I am going to show you several of the non traditional loading techniques that I use within my training protocols.
