I'm an older adult, who needs new exercises. Went to a Baseball game yesterday, was impressed watching the players doing their warm up' exercises. So I'm here today, checking out videos. When I found yours, I stopped searching. Thank you! : ) at my age, I'll just have to slow down, the ones that will work for me. I've been doing the Senior, exercises, on TH-cam for a few years. I'm hoping, The Baseball Game, opened up, new positive exercises to keep me walking, into the years I have left. Thank you! for the work you're doing for Athletes.
Awesome. Funny thing is...when you spend enough time and experiment, designing speed work and agility comes down to common sense...I only say that because ive seen some AWFUL stuff go down in some training environments and sessions outside of my control as a coach from other coaches and trainers. Makes me wanna pull my hair out...especially when the ones in charge say ALL the big words, try to use scientific terms and sound really smart, they start out with some good stuff, fundamentals andnecessary drills...and then... it all falls apart after the dynamic warm up because of ego or what I refer to as "coaches specials"...which are challenges that a coach comes up with on their own and uses it for 10 plus years only because its "their thing" they invented when in fact it's either outdated or it actually makes no sense scientifically or it cant be progressed. I've seen so many times trainers use smoke and mirrors to make shit so hard or impossible to appear like a good trainer...but its because they only can do the dynamic warmup, which learning a good few routines of that is easy, whether it be lateral day, linear or plyo and then...after the warmup is over...the real meat and potatoes DONT even match the warmup. Bit of a rant because I've seen this crap for years and without being too specific, its frustrating to watch beginner atheltes not get better and good athletes barely improve and trainers take credit when the athlete was already great to begin with. I'm glad to have found this channel via Instagram and its REFRESHING as hell and a little vindication for me as the research I've been doing these last few years are paying off because how I run my speed days and agility days are about nearly similar to this give or take a few things plus I come from an MMA background so I always spice it up with some wall ball throw drills on speed jump plyo day as well. I've been training people for about 15 years, adults kids etc but I got into sports about 8 or 9 years ago simply becsud oof my wrestling and MMA background. I didnt know shit about football but in the last 9 years of being around it everyday I learned...alot. in that time I've seen trainers stick to the same things and never evolved and ive also seem them lose passion and kinda make shit up as they go... and in the last 3 years, I REALLY dedicated myself to the athletes I have and my client base skyrocketed simply because i put my ego to the side and learned from the best such as channels and trainers like this... And now...I'm looking back at the last year of training and seeing that the programming I've designed match and almsot mirror sessions like this and it makes me feel damn good about it. What some people dont understand is.. keeping it simple always works... but you have to throw in planned randomness to keep your athletes on their toes, put your ego to the side, keep LEARNING and evolving but you CANNOT build athlete training programs based on cute exercises you see on Instagram that dont even make sense for the athletes you have. I hate when trainers do that shit. A good trainer knows WHEN AND WHERE an exercise fits. They dont just copy and paste cause they've lost creativity Anyways I kinda ranted here but I'm very glad you're sharing this knowledge and I hope all the other coaches and trainers out there take note.
Great content Coach! Complimenting what guys are already doing with field work is priceless
