Coach Glass Podcast

We have all heard of the Stability Mobility Model initially created by @Perform_Better legends and @myTPI Advisory Board members Mike Boyle and Gray Cook. If you are unfamiliar with it just type “Ive been living under a rock” in the google search and it should come up for you. In this episode we are taking this concept to the Next Level. We will discuss how to determine whether the limitation is a stability or a mobility issue and how you can actually bring a stability correction to a mobility restriction and get results! "What? I thought you never bring a stability correction to a mobility limitation?” We also have a not so special guest, Sir Royston Reamsbottom who says that he invented the model a long time before it was made popular here in North America. Listen and learn! #CoachGlassNextLevel #DreamBig #OverDeliver #BeUndeniable Coach Glass

Technology is moving faster and and its helping our athletes move faster! The problem is that some coaches are losing the ability to coach because they are relying solely on the tech and not their gut! The Skyman and the Glassman have been using 3D motion capture, force plates, and launch monitor systems to analyze athletic performance for the past 10 years. It has helped us analyze some of the greatest athletes of the past decade but…….. it is only a tool. The one thing technology will never replace is the coach! In this episode of the #CoachGlassPodcast Lance and I discuss in detail how we use technology (Focus on 3D Motion Capture) to help us COACH! There is a time to share technology with your athlete and a time to use the technical analysis to just validate your gut feeling. A great coach knows when to share and when to shut up! Listen, learn and as always with a Glass & Gill Show, sit back relax and pour yourself a stiff one. We are going on a ride! @performbetter @mytpi #CoachGlassNextLevel #DreamB

Okay so we all know how to strength train and train for power. With @FunctionalMvmt , @SFMA_rehab and @mytpi we know how to screen for function and correct dysfunction using corrective exercises. Sport specific training is all about completing a sport needs assessment and matching your athlete’s physical abilities to the sports requirements. We get it!!! This is nothing new. But what I am sharing with you is new, it is different and it is going to change the way you train your athletes. Next Level Training amplifies your athlete’s performance using minimal equipment, minimal stress on the body and minimal time. In this episode I share the basic concepts of my training program and share some of the elements that I taught at the Chicago @PerformBetter Summit. If you missed my Next Level Training lecture or hands on session you don’t have to cry yourself to sleep on you gigantic pillow anymore ;) This episode introduces the concepts and helps you understand this massive missing gap in performance training.

This could be one of the most important topics in strength and conditioning today. How to train the female athlete. So many fitness professionals provide women with the same exercise programs as they do for their male clients. Others that are switched on enough to design programs specifically for women end up creating programs that don’t take into account the fluctuating hormone levels that occur throughout a women’s cycle. If you truly understand the science behind hormones and the menstrual cycle you can optimize the training effects all month round! Janet Alexander is arguably the World’s top expert when it comes to maximizing strength gains and performance change in the female athlete. Janet and I chat about this “taboo” subject and a whole host of other juicy topics. Come along for the ride! Hope you enjoy it! @performbetter @mytpi http://www.pacificfitnesshealth.com/home #CoachGlassNextLevel #DreamBig #OverDeliver #BeUndeniable Coach Glass

Should you burn your benches? #BURNYOURBENCHES! Is the bench press archaic or one of the most important exercises for expressing push strength? I thought who better to ask than #PowerLifting fanatic and strength coach Bret Contreras. Bret is a very outspoken fitness blogger who isn’t afraid to mix it up with the big boys! We debate the finer things in strength training, rotational power and why he is known around the World as #TheGluteGuy. We also talk about how coaches like Mike Boyle and experts like Dr. Stuart McGill influenced the way we think about rotation and why some of these tenants don’t hold true. (BTW…. Boyle is right!) What does hypertrophy have to do with strength? Is there a linear relationship? Its conversations like this that get me fired up and excited about diving deeper into the world of strength and conditioning. Can’t wait for the @perfrombetter Chicago Summit where I will have a chance to speak with my colleagues and debate these topics in more depth! Listen, learn and enjoy! @performbe

What do you think when you think yoga? Do you think about the best athletes in the World using some of these ancient techniques to maximize their potential both on and off the field. You will after listening to this episode of the #CoachGlassPodcast featuring Yogi Dana Santas!

Good Good Good Good Vibrations! I think the Beach Boys were on to something. Apparently it wasn’t the Beach Boys but instead Whole Body Vibration Training (WBVT) was invented to keep Russian Cosmonauts shredded while orbiting the earth. Since then it has been refined and experimented with and now a standard in training facilities around the globe. I was on the blower with Jeff Handler @jeffhandler (Former Strength Coach of masters Champion Mike Weir) sport-rx.com and was having such a great conversation I decided to set up the pics and put it on wax!  WBVT consists of standing on a platform that vibrates in a way designed to stimulate your hormonal, cardiovascular, lymphatic, and nervous systems simultaneously. The reflexive muscle contraction has been proven to provoke: Increased lymphatic drainage Increased bone mass and mineral density Increased flexibility and mobility Metabolic alterations in bone, stomach, bowel, prostate, kidney, and bladder Enhances knee neuromuscular control Immediate improvement in

Everyone has an opinion on #Crossfit. Before you make assumptions you need to listen to both sides of the issue. So here it is! Kelly Starrett @mobilitywod and Coach Glass discuss the good and the bad of Crossfit and why it just may be the best thing you and your clients can do for their health. I offer up my minimal dose effect style of training which is a polar opposite to Crossfit.  You will have to listen to hear the outcome and whether or not we can see eye to eye! We also discuss something so cool and revolutionary that I encourage every #Glistener to get on board. Kelly and his wife Juliet started an non profit organization with a mission to get rid of conventional desks in schools. Their organization standupkids.org is putting standing desks in schools and you won’t believe how it is changing the way kids are taught and the physical and mental emotional benefits. Make sure you check out Kelly’s books “The Supple Leapard” and “Ready to Run” which are both fantastic! Order them from @PerformBetter and u

This is another Bonus episode of the #CoachGlassPodcast which we fondly refer to as the #YOJAY series. We experimented with the new @Periscope App. Live streaming the start of the episode on this cool interactive social media app. We will try it again if you #Glisteners are up for the challenge of live podcast and interactive Q&A! In this episode we discuss recommendations for parents, coaches and athletes who are in need of some balance in their lives. If your whole life is your sport or you have young juniors who live, breathe and eat their sport its time for a head shake! This topic was brought to us from my good friends in Dubai @RiggsGolf. Thanks Alex! We also have a question from Danny O’Keefe on how to enter your market with a new business be it a Golf Fitness Program, new gym or even a combined physio/training space. The secret?………….. You will have to listen and learn! Hope you all enjoy the episode and keep the #YoJay questions coming. #DreamBig #OverDeliver be #Undeniable and #CheersEverybody! C

Kelly Starrett @mobilitywod is a strength coach, therapist, author, lecturer and a mobility God! Kelly opened one of the first Crossfit affiliates but don’t stick him in the Crossfit bucket! Kelly uses his knowledge, his keen eye for quality movement and improving technique through his coaching. In this episode we break down mobility issues and what the fitness coaches role is in the mobility realm. We discuss how movement in the hip can affect everything up and down the chain and why both Kelly and I are known for our CannonBall calves! We also discuss the @FMS @SFMA and @MYTPI screens and assessments and why trainers and strength coaches can’t just rely on one of these tools alone as a basis for assessing an athletes function. Listen, learn and enjoy the part 1 of this 2 part episode of the #CoachGlassPodcast! Check out the #CoachGlassNextLevel on my website for more in-depth training techniques, coaching concepts and programming for your rotational athlete.

Deflaters gonna Deflate! Are you afraid to express your thoughts, passions, and share it with the World in FEAR of “others” letting the air out. It seems like there are more haters than creators because we are allowing the comment sections and snide criticisms keep us from sharing what we believe is true. I get asked all the time “#YoJay aren’t you afraid of people’s reaction when you put out your videos, podcast or blog posts? Aren’t you concerned about someone not agreeing with your thoughts or hating on your delivery style? Aren’t you afraid of………?????” The answer is YES for about 2.5 seconds and then I get over it and do it anyways! Why? Because its not for them! I don’t do what I do for them. I do it for the people who appreciate it, somehow get inspired by it, learn from it and are entertained by it. This weeks episode is all about that. YOU overcoming your FEAR! You taking control of your path and delivering what is AUTHENTIC to you! Not them. Herm Edwards “Just put your name on it! Thats all I say. Be

Its gut check time! Before you start eliminating things like gluten, dairy and everything else that can cause inflammation, bloating and diarrhoea why don’t you look at your gut. The bacteria in your gut determines whether or not you are capable of handling different types of foods. An unhealthy gut can impair your immune system, affect hormonal levels and affect your performance. In this episode we unravel the big and small issues that arise in the gut and get to the bottom of it! Literally. We also discuss strategies for fixing an unhealthy gut naturally. Something for you to digest this week as it is Nutrition month at the Coach Glass Next Level Membership site. #DreamBig #Overdeliver and enjoy your burrito! Coach Glass

To #DreamBig you need to be able to imagine a destination. To successfully reach your destination you need to have a path. The directions to get from your dreams to your destination often come from a mentor. The mentor either shows you what is possible and or defines the best way to get there. A great quote that resonates with me is “Don’t follow in the footsteps of the masters. Seek what they sought!”  I love this because truly the difference between success and failure is not knowing the destination but instead understanding how to relentlessly drive toward it through the successes and failures we encounter along the way. Every year I hold a Mentorship for 10 people and every year I am amazed at the drive and determination that the mentors come with and the only thing truly holding them back is the support and encouragement to continue down the path. Some people need a light to see the path and others need some barriers put up to help them avoid veering off the path on route to the destination. In this Epis

**Warning** #Crossfit RANT! If I had a WOD of cash for every time someone asked me what I thought about #Crossfit I would be a zillionaire brah! Before you get your knee high socks in a knot. I would never post my opinion on such a controversial topic without doing my homework first. I always say you can’t have an opinion till you have looked at both sides of the equation. So I spent a week completely immersed in the crossfit culture. I went to my local crossfit gym, watched Youtube videos of the regional & national competitions and trained with my shirt off while I listened to Skrillex. All for this episode of the #CoachGlassPodcast! You may just be surprised at what I found. The good the bad and the ugly…… its all in here. #DreamBig #OverDeliver #BeUndeniable #CheersEverybody Coach Glass

Chris Davie is an NHL Athletic Therapist with the Edmonton Oilers Hockey Club. Chis has a unique blend of skills that allows him to enhance his player’s performance and take them from the treatments table, training room and finally to the ice for technical biomechanics coaching.  Chris has worked on some of the greatest hockey players of our generation but says some of his greatest learning experiences have come from his patients in his private clinic. Movement is movement and you need to see a ton of different types of movement strategies to truly understand the idiosyncrasies in your athletes. We discuss how to work with a performance team and make the transitions from specialist to specialist seamless. How the job of the athletic therapist has evolved over the last decade and now involves so much more than the work on the treatment table. Chris devours certifications, text books and anything he can get his hands on to enhance his skill set and get the most out of his players. I hope you all enjoy this epis
