Coaching Sprint Mechanics. What to look for. What to say. Mike Young
This is Dr. Mike Young's presentation from the 2014 Midwest Speed Summit. Dr. Young is the owner and Director of Performance at Athletic Lab sports performance training center and has coached multiple national champions in Track & Field along with working with some of the fastest athletes in soccer, football and baseball. This presentation focuses on applied sprinting mechanics and how coaches can best make technical changes. The presentation uses biomechanics and motor learning concepts and relates them to coaching the sprints.
In recent years, and partially driven through the Ancestral Health movement, high-intensity interval training (HIIT – in its various guises) has become the training mode de jour. But are we over-prescribing the dose of this training? A review of the current research literature on this suggests that high-intensity interval and sprint-type sessions induce a large amount of fatigue in the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Such ANS fatigue can have detrimental effects ranging from sleep disturbances through to HPA axis and stress-related issues. This session discusses the optimal dose for such forms of intense training.

Narrated Business Proposal for the Philadelphia Eaglescamrynascott12
Slide 1:
Welcome, and thank you for joining me today. We will explore a strategic proposal to enhance parking and traffic management at Lincoln Financial Field, aiming to improve the overall fan experience and operational efficiency. This comprehensive plan addresses existing challenges and leverages innovative solutions to create a smoother and more enjoyable experience for our fans.
Slide 2:
Picture this: It’s a crisp fall afternoon, driving towards Lincoln Financial Field. The atmosphere is electric—tailgaters grilling, fans in Eagles jerseys creating a sea of green and white. The air buzzes with camaraderie and anticipation. You park, join the throng, and make your way to your seat. The stadium roars as the Eagles take the field, sending chills down your spine. Each play is a thrilling dance of strategy and skill. This is what being an Eagles fan is all about—the joy, the pride, and the shared experience.
Slide 3:
But now, the day is marred by frustration. The excitement wanes as you struggle to find a parking spot. The congestion is overwhelming, and tempers flare. The delays mean you miss the pre-game excitement, the tailgate camaraderie, and even the opening kick-off. After the game, the joy of victory or the shared solace of defeat is overshadowed by the stress of navigating out of the parking lot. The gridlock, honking horns, and endless waiting drain the energy and joy from what should have been an unforgettable experience.
Our proposal aims to eliminate these frustrations, ensuring that from arrival to departure, your experience is extraordinary. Efficient parking and smooth traffic flow are key to maintaining the high spirits and excitement that make game days special.
Slide 4:
The Philadelphia Eagles are not just a premier NFL team; they are an integral part of the community, hosting games, concerts, and various events at Lincoln Financial Field. Our state-of-the-art stadium is designed to provide a world-class experience for every attendee. Whether it's the thrill of game day, the excitement of a live concert, or the camaraderie of community events, we pride ourselves on delivering a fan-first experience and maintaining operational excellence across all our activities. Our commitment to our fans and community is unwavering, and we continuously strive to enhance every aspect of their experience, ensuring they leave with unforgettable memories.
Slide 5:
Recent trends show an increasing demand for efficient event logistics. Our customer feedback has consistently highlighted frustrations with parking and traffic. Surveys indicate that a significant number of fans are dissatisfied with the current parking situation. Comparisons with other venues like Citizens Bank Park and Wells Fargo Center reveal that we lag in terms of parking efficiency and convenience. These insights underscore the urgent need for innovation to meet and exceed fan expectations.

As we delve into the intricacies of our operations, one glaring issue emer
2. Overview
Examine how to train for:
Power
Speed
Agility
Examine how to integrate everything for
program design
3. Power Training
What works “best?”
Traditional resistance training
Olympic-style weightlifting
Plyometrics
Complex training
Combining tools
4. Resistance Training
Strengthening the muscles could lead to
an increase in power production
Kotzamanidis, C., et al. (2005) looked at
35 teenage soccer players
3 groups: control, strength training only,
combined program (strength + sprints)
9 week, periodized program

6. Conclusions
Resistance training alone does work, but
may not be as effective as when
combined with other modes of training.
Beginners?
7. Olympic-Style Weightlifting
Rationale
Tricoli, et al. (2005):
Compared OWL and “vertical jump” training
32 physical education students, 8 weeks of
training, 3x/week
10. Does OWL Work?
10% improvement in SJ over 8 weeks
versus 3%
7% improvement in CMJ over 8 weeks
versus 6%
Both groups increased strength in the
half squat
11. Plyometrics to Improve
Power
Specificity of training
Does it work? Previous results seemed
mixed…
Adams, et al. (1992)
3 groups: strength, plyo, combined
6 weeks, 2x/week
13. Adams, et al. (1992). Results
Plyometrics do work
to improve vertical
jump.
Group VJ
Improvement
(cm)
Squat 3.3
Plyo 3.81
14. Complex Training
What is it?
Performing heavy resistance training prior to
explosive training. Think supersets.
Theory: increased motor unit excitability,
increased motor unit recruitment, increased
activity of synergistic muscles, inhibition of
antagonistic muscles, etc.
Used as a training tool and used as a pre-meet
tool (track and field)
15. Example of Complex
Training
Monday:
Snatch Pull + Power Snatch, 3x4+3x60%
Push Jerk + Jump and Tuck, 3x3x60% + 5 jumps
Eccentric Back Squat + Standing Long Jump, 3x5x70% + 5 jumps
Incline Press + MB Lying Chest Pass, 3x8-12x70% + 10 throws
Dumbbell Military Press, 3x8-12
Wednesday:
Split Clean + Split Squat, 3x3+5x40%
Clean Pulls + RDL, 3x3-4x87.5% + 6-10
One-Legged Back Raises, 3x8-12 each leg
Bent Over Rows + MB Toss, 3x8-12 + 5 throws
16. Does It Work?
Scott and Docherty (2004):
19 subjects performed 4 vertical/horizontal
jumps , then a 5RM back squat, then 4
vertical jumps and 4 horizontal jumps
The back squat had no effect on the
pre/post jump heights
17. Does It Work?
Jensen & Ebben (2003)
Investigate:
○ Advantages of complex training
○ Optimal window between strength and plyometric
exercise
21 Division I athletes
5RM back squat then 6 vertical jumps on a force
plate
Rested 10 sec, 1 min, 2 min, 3 min, or 4 min
between squat and jumps
No difference in GRF or jump height
18. Complex Training,
Conclusions
Complex training does not hurt
performance
However, it is not the magic bullet
Why use it?
Variety
More work in shorter time
19. Combining Tools May be Most
Effective
Research seems to indicate that
everything is effective to a greater or
lesser extent.
However, using multiple tools seems to
be the most effective…
