DON'T FORGET THE "MINOR" SPORTS
Bruce Kelly
I have been in this field for over 2 decades and much like Coach Boyle and some of the other "old heads" have worked with athletes from virtually every sport imaginable: from skateboarders and skiers to triathletes and Ultimate Frisbee players. And to preface the remainder of this article, I have my own training facility and have always worked in the "private" sector part of the business. The rest of this article may be irrelevant to college, high school and professional strength and conditioning coaches as their client base is "given" to them. . . . keep reading

Vertical Jump Methodology
Daniel Martinez
Strength training plays an integral role to support high performance on the volleyball court but the process that enhances performance is the development of speed and power. Strength training alone would limit performance enhancement for the sport without a specific focus on the time allowed for the application of force in jumping, hitting, blocking, short sprints, and changes of direction. These qualities are referred to as speed, power, elasticity, and rate of force development (RFD) and they are expressed in volleyball through several different yet complementary mechanisms. To put it simply each skill in volleyball requires a unique combination of these abilities and this combination functions optimally if they are developed appropriately. . . . keep reading

The Biggest Loser
Max Prokopy
"The Biggest Loser" has become wildly popular, despite my own personal hopes and expectations. In fact, it drew the watchful eye of about 12 million viewers on January 6th. One of the trainers/"motivators" was the feature guest on the Jay Leno show. It's a rare event indeed when I pay attention to such things, except when unhealthy advice is being crop-dusted over a public that is unprepared for the experience. I expect there are a select few people whose lives are changed for the better from this show. I fear that that practices and expectations set by this show reinforce exactly the wrong concepts about health and rapid weight loss. . . . keep reading

(Not so) Grand Opening! -- Things I Would Do Differently:
Jon Rimmer
Confessions of a Business Amateur Who Opened His Own Facility
After much discussion and reading I noticed there was a market for trainers looking for information regarding opening their own facilities. I may come across as bold offering my advice, as I am no expert on the subject (more on that later), but I do offer what seems to be a rare perspective: I opened my facility relatively recently, made dozens of mistakes, and my facility is still in business. This allows me to offer some advice to those just starting as someone who is still in the position of being a beginner himself, and dealing with the realities that a beginner's status necessitates. . . . keep reading

Being Accountable
Daniel Martinez
Many trainers and coaches new to their respective fields will talk about the many ways they plan to do things "differently". Ambition and innovation are not enemies to these coaches or the profession; however a primary consideration in making these adjustments is whether or not the trainer or coach is prepared to be accountable for the result for good or bad. Further consideration must also be made for the employer and client or athlete and whether or not they are aware of the environment they are entering into. Do they know the situation they are entering into and are they prepared to accept the positives and negatives that come with this scenario? . . . keep reading
