2-hr Workshop Outline
1. Sports Psychology: learning how to communicate with your athlete/client in order to ensure a safe, effective, and healthy training environment. Also covered will be how to help your athlete develop an “ideal performance state”.
2. Plyometric Training: Plyometric training enables a muscle to reach maximal force in the shortest possible time. Exercises such as jumps, bounds, and box drills can increase power and explosiveness, but they must be organized as part of an exercise prescription that follows the same principles as any other program design.
3. Rehabilitation and Reconditioning: coming back from an injury doesn’t have to be frustrating if you follow the necessary steps that will guide you back to a healthy condition.
4. Resistance Training out of the Gym: enjoying the benefits of training with weights is still possible if you learn the exercise progressions and modifications, and how to apply them depending on your training environment.
5. Core Training: A strong core has been associated with a reduction in injuries, an increase in strength and power, and superior movement mechanics. Develop a “conscious awareness” of your midsection by strengthening your abdominals, lower back, and glutes using medicine balls, unilateral exercises, bosu ball, stability ball, and body weight exercises.
6. Common Training Errors: Learn about the most common errors that coaches and athletes make during resistance training such as poor body alignment during the squat, and improper landing mechanics. Remember that perfect practice makes perfect, and that bad habits are very hard to break. So start now!
7. Flexibility Training: A lost element in fitness. Flexibility is essential to anyone who trains – elite athlete or weekend warrior. Learn to design appropriate stretching programmes and the new techniques recommended today.
8. Advanced Workouts in the Gym: Take your advanced client and give them something a little different. Help them to realize that their fitness level is essential if they want to get bigger and stronger.
9. Glutes and Back, Alternative Workouts: Strong glutes and a strong back are essential for correct posture, and if they are not doing their job, it can make training correctly increasingly difficult. Find out how to strengthen these areas using your own body as resistance, while increasing the mind/body connection and perfecting posture.
11. Rotator Cuff: The Rotator Cuff muscles include the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. These muscles are heavily loaded during resistance and sporting activities, especially throwing, hitting, and swimming-type movements. Strengthening the shoulder joint is fundamental in keeping your Rotator Cuff healthy, and avoiding shoulder injury.
12. Working with Youth (16 and under): communication, contra-indications and program design.
13. Exercise in the Heat: Many sports are practiced in the outdoors. Summers in Egypt are hot and humid, placing a significant physiological strain on our athletes’ bodies. A reduction in body weight >2% following a training session has been shown be significantly detrimental to athletic performance. Learn what you can do as coaches in order to keep your athletes hydrated, and performing optimally.
14. Periodization for Peak Performance: To promote long-term training and performance, a program should include variations in training specificity, intensity, and volume organized in planned periods or cycles. Learn how to manipulate these variables in order to peak in time for the competitive season.
15. Overtraining: Overtraining can cause dramatic performance decreases in athletes of all training levels and is caused by mistakes in the training program. Symptoms include decreased motor coordination, increased resting heart rate and blood pressure, and emotional and sleep disturbances.
