thanks for the info that perfect comp place looks amazing, they train the top of the top of the top it seems

i was gonna do the entire internship in the summer but now i'm not sure.  it's really gay the internship counts as credits for my major, you can do 3 or 6 credits.  I was planning on doing 6, the more the better, however since it counts as credits you are technically paying for the internship.  in the fall and spring it's just part of the tuition, like for all your classes so technically it's not extra since i'll be taking classes anyway
during the summer it's 300$ a credit so now i'm not sure.  during the summer would be much better i think since then i'll really be able to focus on that and really learn and get as much experience and everything as i can.  i am planning on getting the nsca-cpt cert soon and i figured i would get some work at a gym somewhere (probably commercial) since i don't know any good place i could get a job at and i would do the internship as well, will have to rethink things now

during the year i'm so busy with classes and studying and all that stuff i barely have any time

Ya man perfect competition has an insane facility... Huge weight room, huge turf area, and a 60 yd track in the back. Edit: Plus a second floor with med balls/sprint treadmills/chiro/video/massage rooms.

If I had the option on whether to be able to intern when nfl combine was there or not, I'd definitely wait another semester to assist with the combine. Those are some of the best athletes you will EVER see. I mean, we had chad jackson/maurice jones drew/pat walkins/bunch of other dudes. Those guys were so explosive it was psychotic.

there's a velocity sports performance place not far also, you know anyting about those places?  it's a chain also, they got a bunch all over now i think

nah don't know much about velocity, though there was one close to me. Apparently Chris Carter owns the chain? It looked ok from what I saw on youtube.

yo these vids are sick adarqui

it's crazy how long golden child's last step is, also yeh how strong his ankles are

Ya, he covers SOOO much distance with his strides, and it's so aggressive.

His ankles are probably the strongest ive ever seen in any jumper. That is a perfect example of "great ankle stiffness", ie insane strength.

look at his left ankle how strong it inverts when he is about to jump

Ya, he's basically jumping from a half squat position, WHILE being on his toes.. most people's feet are flat in that position. Hell, most people's feet are basically flat until their legs are about to lock out, then they triple extend.

Having strength like that in the ankles, he's able to store alot more energy in the tendons & get alot more out of his calfs.

also i thought his back would be nice and straight but it's slouched at first and then he straightens it right before he jumps

Yea, that probably helps him stay off his heels initially.. Most people can't jump like that, they'd look like jello.

what the hell, that's one of the weirdest stories i've ever heard, why that story with that kid who shit in the dumpster make you proud?

dno it's just pretty awesome.

you have heard of test sports club though?

yup.

wow man, that's awesome that you got to work with all those ppl and do all that stuff.  Glad i asked you, i didn't know how u got to where you were, thought you just went to college and then got an internship and started working somewhere or something like that

your entire story you were getting sick results with the athletes

was there ever a time the athletes just didn't get better, like from the get-go you all the people you trainined got awesome results? Did anybody get hurt training under you and it became a big deal or something like that?

Well, i had "witnessed" and "assisted" with ALOT of training before I had trained athletes entirely under my programs. I had the ability to witness what was working and what wasn't, at the beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. So, before implementing my own programs, all that prior experience really helped me shape my own training ideas.

As far as results go, I can say with confidence that EVERYBODY I trained, who was serious, got good results. I trained lots of people who half-assed shit also, so, of course I had people who didn't improve, but that was mostly on them. Either their parents were paying and they didn't want to be there, or they signed up and just were lazy, those people can't make progress.

Man, you just can't NOT make results if you're improving your strength (in lifts & reactive movements), and managing fatigue properly. Of course some people made really freaky gains, others made just "good gains", but everyone was gaining nonetheless. My duties at MSC for the most part, were putting on muscle & making people faster. I still had the people who were vert focused, fat loss focused, pure speed focused, pure mass focused, etc, but mostly mass & speed for baseball.

I've had a few people get hurt, but most often than not, they did something wrong. One kid broke his ankle doing stepups, he jumped off the box and landed on something all crooked. One kid hurt his hamstring real bad during performance testing, landing extremely deep in a broad jump. One of my minor leaguers had a major back spasm, doing agility drills, the day after squatting. Another minor leaguer tweaked his hamstring shagging in the outfield (catching fly balls). Russo hurt his pec doing iso pushups after iso bench, that lasted a long time. The person I hurt the most, was myself, since I did alot of experimentation with training ideas.

That's about it when it comes to that...

My most proud moment as a s&c coach came during summer s&c camp, in a conditioning session. This new kid shows up, we're doing sled circuits. He's like "LEMME DO IT!". I'm like, "nah man you're not ready". He keeps bugging me, so I let him. He does the circuit, which everyone is completely adapted too, and he pukes his guts out. Then, he's like, "ok im good now let me finish", so I'm laughing and go ok. He does another circuit, pukes his brains out again. Session is now over, and I see him standing on a bench, with a garbage can nearby. Then I see a bunch of kids running around laughing. So I go see what's going on, and he's taking a dump in the garbage can. He kept coming for one week, but disappeared, probably due to the teasing. I guess he couldn't hold it in lololololol.

peace mang.

Added "Youtube Slowmo" feature. It's not finished yet, but it's enough to work. This could be useful for loading up sprinting/weightlifting/jump videos, hitting the slow mo key ":", and just watching it.. It has "frame advance" too, using the "." key, but it's not actually every frame, which is a problem with flash video.
