What your training is lacking

It is hard, it is hard to find time to squeeze everything into a training program that we all should. However, that is the difference between a well laid training program and taking a shotgun approach to fitness. Making time for the "little things" ends up making the "big things" actually work.

I often laugh to myself when people say they didn't get anything out of a particular exercise or program. The truth is that one has to ask, "did you follow the program exactly outlined or did you make your own modifications?", or "did you do the exercise right?"

Recently I got to interview a coach who really has put it together and realizes how everything impacts performance, yes EVERYTHING does! I remember years ago reading an online magazine called Dolfzine. It seemed so cool as it had great minds like Krista Scott Dixon, Dr. Mel Siff, and many more top coaches and scientists writing for it. Little did I know how heavily involved that Vince McConnell was in creating such a great project.

Not only has Vince worked with and studied great coaches, but he has 25 years of coaching a vast array of clients himself. Not too many coaches have been great athletes themselves and coached every sport from football to tennis and helped young kids and elderly adults. That definitely demonstrates some unique insights into fitness and performance. Vince was kind enough to talk about his experiences and thoughts on training. Oh, and his favorite new tool, "The Ultimate Sandbag".
