We are just a few weeks out from what is sure to be one of the greatest seminars of the year. April 27th and 28th on the campus of the University of Richmond The Central Virginia Sport Performance Seminar will bring you a day and a half of cutting edge information from some of the worldâ??s leading coaches and scientists. The lineup that has been put together is second to none with a fantastic array of topics consisting of:
â?¢ Dr. Natalia Verkhoshansky
o â??Shock Method and Plyometrics: updates and in-depth examinationâ??
ï?§ Dr. Natalia Verkhoshanskyâ??s father, Dr. Yuri Verkhoshansky, has been deemed â??The Father of Plyometricsâ??. Although his main â??findingâ?? was that of the shock method, also known as depth jumps. Dr. Natalia Verkhoshansky will discuss the latest contribution and updates of this method, its implications in training the athlete and the taxonomy of Plyometric exercises with the rules of their progressing during the training process.
o â??General Adaptation Syndrome and its Application to the Sports Trainingâ??
ï?§ The General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) has been looked upon as the benchmark for understanding the stress response to training, thus determining the â??adaptationsâ?? that will be seen in the athletes. Dr. Verkhoshansky will give her take on GAS, areas that coaches can observe, and how this theory has been adapted sense its inception.
â?¢ Cal Dietz
o â??Advanced Principles in Programmingâ??
ï?§ Coach Dietz will dive into the principles he follows with his athletes at Minnesota and show the howâ??s and whyâ??s of his programming, looking at not the program as a total stressor of the body, how the body perceives such stress and how the body will handle and adapt to said stressors.
â?¢ Landon Evans
o â??Physical Preparation in the NCAA: A Complementary Approachâ??
ï?§ Everyone wants to talk about the idea of â??tool in the tool boxâ?? when looking at all forms of physical preparation. In his presentation, Landon Evans will show you how and when to use a hammer versus a saw, so to say. Understanding the where and when in programming the proper time and place for different forms of physical preparation on a team and individual level is vital to improving performance of an athlete.
â?¢ Joel Jamieson
o â??Managing the Training Processâ??
ï?§ Joel Jamieson, www.8weeksout.com, will show how the individualization of programming due to readiness, and track performance markers over time, while monitoring the training sessions on a micro and macro cycle level. This information is vital to not just ensure you are not overtraining your athletes, but also to make sure they are receiving an adequate stimulus to provide adaptation.
â?¢ Mike Robertson
o â??Corrective Exercise: Fact vs. Fictionâ??
ï?§ Known as â??the rehab guyâ??, Mike Robertson will divulge his thoughts on what exactly corrective exercise is, assessments used to determine any factors that may influence training and performance and how he attacks these areas. Many people utilize assessments but find it difficult to find the what/when/where of including the corrective work, but looking at the training/performance as a whole (as we always should) will open the eyes and ideas of all the coaches in attendance.
â?¢ Val Nasedkin
o â??Creation of Short and Long Term Training Goals Based on Biological Markersâ??
ï?§ Many coaches are just concerned with what exercises to do, but in Valâ??s presentation he will outline the whole reason for training. This will begin with where you start and how and include assessments needed and how to structure the training from the very beginning. The assessments will determine the training along with short term and long term plans and goals of the athlete.
