I’m extremely excited to share that today Optimizing Adaptation & Performance is officially live!

Optimizing Adaptation & Performance features over 7.5 hours of video and PDFs from all of the presentations from a a seminar I did last Summer with James LaValle and Mike Potenza at Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning.

There’s more health and performance information available now than ever before, and it’s become increasingly difficult to sift through all of the marketing hype to find the most effective solutions.

When Mike, James and I originally talked about putting this seminar together, our goal was simple – share our most effective research- and experience-supported solutions to help optimize an athletes health, training adaptation, and game-day performance.

With that in mind, the presentations cover a wide array of topics, including:

  • In-season program design
  • Multi-stage reconditioning of injured athletes
  • Workload monitoring and developing effective reports for coaches
  • The most effective recovery strategies for different types of training/sport stress
  • Using testing as a diagnostic process to design more effective programs
  • Hormonal implications of overtraining/under recovery
  • Training, nutrition, and supplementation strategies to optimize mitochondrial development, and muscular hypertrophy/strength
  • How health of the gut, brain, and immune system influence each other, and nutrition and supplementation strategies to optimize all three

Proven Strategies for Better Results

On a personal note, I’m really excited to share this information for a couple reasons.

First, this information is powerful – it can have a profound impact on the health, performance, consistency, and durability of athletes in every sport.

Mike, James and I have worked in every setting – professional and collegiate sports, private sports training facilities, general fitness clients, etc. – and there are strategies shared in the OAP videos that can be applied in all of these environments.

Increase your “Range”

Second, I strongly believe in the importance of having a range of solutions for different problems.

Athletes and training clients don’t always respond to the same strategies in the same way, and between individual preferences and logistical constraints, if you only have one tool – it’s likely you’ll run into situations where you can’t use it.

By spanning assessment, sports science, recovery interventions, program design, and nutrition/supplementation, OAP provides complimentary solutions to help facilitate the optimal response, despite different situational constraints.

For example, athletes at all levels suffer from depleted energy at some point throughout the season. This can result from:

  • Insufficient or inappropriate preparation
  • Detraining throughout the season
  • Excessive workload
  • Misguided dietary strategy
  • Suboptimal sleep
  • Inadequate or poor use of recovery strategies

Depending on the situation, some of these areas may be more realistic to improve than others, so having a process to identify what is contributing to the athlete’s lack of energy and solutions to address each limiting factor will allow you to always make an impact.

Optimizing Adaptation & Performance discusses each of the above points in detail, and provides different strategies to address the same problem.

Last week I had an opportunity to join Anthony Renna on the Strength Coach Podcast to discuss our upcoming seminar Optimizing Adaptation and Performance.

During the interview, we discussed:

  • My assessment and performance profiling process and how it influences program design
  • Specific examples of how to train around ankle mobility limitations
  • Strategies to individualize training programs in group settings
  • Workload and recovery monitoring
  • The importance of integrating skill/sport coaches into discussions on training goals

P.S. We’re less than two weeks out from our seminar. If you’re interested in learning a comprehensive model of athlete performance, including the assessment and analysis tools, as well as programming, recovery, nutrition and supplementation strategies to best serve the individual needs of today’s athlete, check out this link: Optimizing Adaptation and Performance.

Today I have news that I’m extremely excited to share with you.

James LaValle, Mike Potenza, and I are doing a new seminar this Summer called Optimizing Adaptation and Performance.

The one-day seminar will be hosted at Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning in Woburn, MA on Saturday July 14th, 2018. We just found out that the seminar has been approved for CEUs from the NSCA as well.

The seminar will dive into topics spanning the entire performance continuum, including:

  • Using blood markers and physiological goals to drive different nutrition and supplementation interventions to enhance adaptation, maximize performance, or facilitate recovery
  • Efficient ways to use assessment and monitoring data to improve individualization of training and recovery methods within a team environment
  • Effective program design strategies used to retain performance qualities and allow for recovery during times of increased competitive demand and stress

As a brief intro to the speakers…

James LaValle is one of the world’s leading experts in clinical pharmacology. In addition to consulting with collegiate and professional teams, Olympic athletes, and major pharmaceutical and nutrition companies like Bayer, CVS, Rite Aid, P&G, Helsin, and Thorne Research, he has authored 16 ebooks and 20 books including his most recently book, Your Blood Never Lies, and his best seller, Cracking the Metabolic Code. He was also selected to direct the Pro Football Hall of Fame state of the art performance and health rejuvenation facility at the Institute for a Hall of Fame Life in Canton, OH. James specializes in using blood markers to create an individualized plan to nutrition and supplementation. Despite an incredibly accomplished resume, he could very well be the best kept secret in sports performance.

Mike Potenza is entering his 13th year as the Director of Strength and Conditioning for the San Jose Sharks, which he joined after working at Wisconsin, Harvard and Colgate. He was also the Director of Performance for two United States Air Force Pararescue teams within the National Guard Bureau, overseeing performance testing, program design and implementation, establishing reporting metrics on injury trends, resource usage and team readiness, as well as directing the physical therapist and orthopedic manual therapist for the forces. In both settings, Mike is heavily involved with directing rehabilitation and reconditioning efforts to help bridge the gap between acute rehab and a full return to elite level performance/competition.

Needless to say, it’s going to be an awesome day. There is an incredible amount of education and experience behind the methods we’ll discuss at the seminar. Simply, the strategies you’ll learn work, and they’re incredibly powerful.

You can find a full itinerary below:

The overarching goal of the day is to provide you with a comprehensive model of athlete performance, including the assessment and analysis tools, as well as programming, recovery, nutrition and supplementation strategies to best serve the individual needs of today’s athlete.

I’m personally excited to hear James’ and Mikes’ presentations. With an in-house lunch, and a round table discussion to end the day, I also think a lot of the best exchanges will come through discussions with the audience.

In short, this will be a great opportunity to learn powerful strategies to help your athletes, get CEUs, and network with other sharp professionals within the field.

I hope to see you there! Feel free to email me with any questions or post them below.
