Developing the Complete Wrestler

When it comes to the aim of helping an athlete become a better performer in their sport and improving sport form, the exact protocols used need to be implemented to the EXACT demands of the chosen sport.

To take that thought a step further, it is absolutely critical that deviations must be made even within programs for the same sport, as different positions and tactical schemes will demand different expressions of abilities from the players. For example, an offensive tackle in a spread offense is going to need to be lighter and more mobile than a tackle in a power run offense who needs to be bigger and stronger in order to control his opponents in the trenches.

Offseason Football Training

Lately, I have had the chance to assist in the training of the Western Hills High School Football team in preparation for the 2011 season.

Their head coach, Paul Jenne, runs a top notch and smart program unlike how many other high school football programs operate. Instead of performing worthless and endless 300's, Paul has them conditioning to mimic the direct demands of the energy systems used in Football.

National Handstand Pushup Day!

As I have often written about, body-weight training is an often forgotten about aspect in many people's program. I am a strong believer in incorporating some form of a body-weight exercise in every training session. In fact the majority of my assistance work is body-weight based!

Product Review: Amazing Grass' SuperFood

Many people know that I am against "normal" multi-vitamins, due to their price and poor absorption, and strongly urge all to eat as many whole foods as possible. I am against most anything that was created in a lab to try and simulate what God has already put out there in nature for us to consume. However, understandably many of the plants and fruits God gave us are rare and not plentifully available in your local supermarket. So what is the solution to fulfill your vitamin needs? How about a supplement made directly from the natural ingredients provided on the earth.

Making sure you get enough calories to repair and grow is crucial for long-term success. While I could provide different dietary approaches per individuals, for generalities purposes, here is a list of  3 nutrition tips that everyone can benefit from:
