Speed, Strength, & Neurology with Dan Fichter | TFC Podcast Ep. 15

[@moggelm6942]

I am a track and field coach in Germany. very good and interesting discussion. I have been using the training principles "less is more", "RPR" and neuroathletics for several years and have had good success with them. My athletes have no muscular injuries. The other trainers react, among other things, with envy and resentment because they don't understand it. Department heads in the club can't handle it when employed trainers have success with things they don't understand. They grab talent and then destroy it. But it's not your fault... School, studies, training are always the reasons. How can an athlete tear her hamstrings the day before leaving for the national championships? It's not for nothing that Germany is so far behind the world leaders... I love discussions and content like this and there are so many bad examples because many trainers only care about their own fame. The enthusiasm conveyed here is the same with which I try to explain my philosophy. In the weight room I can push young people quickly, achieve quick successes through tempo runs and by the time they are 18 they are physically exhausted. I've seen so many people who were no longer able to do sports at that age... People look askance at you if you put on your spikes in winter and increase your speed all year round. Punished with amazement and ignorance when you train all winter in a small gym, don't do any sprints - more like "Feed the Cats" - and all athletes get PRs in their first competition. I love this voodoo stuff!!!

Thank you for watching!

Sounds like I'm doing you a favor. No thanks expected or needed. Tony, you're doing us all a favor with every video you put out. Don't know if you're feeling it, but there's a huge movement afoot to bring coaching, teaching, and education generally in line with a new energy-awareness that entered the world's consciousness around the time Einstein announced special and general relativity, early in the 20th century. Every important invention of the last 120 years has been about energy. As Tony has wisely noted in his articles, the movement toward a more energy-based coaching approach has been much faster in sports than in the classroom - because results are taken more seriously on the playing field. I'm thrilled when I hear Tony and his guests talk about the new coaching methods that have helped athletes find unprecedented success and happiness, like Marcellus, Patrick Mahomes, and so many more. I've been watching the energy awareness-trend since Bill Walsh and the Forty-Niners of the early 1980s, the Bulls under Phil Jackson, the Seahawks under Pete Carroll, the Lakers under Jackson and Pat Riley, etc. It has been a hugely entertaining, spiritually thrilling ride!

"She got the goggly eye." 😆🤣 "So, it's like having seggs with a ghost?" 🤣🤣

[@sodopianos1412]

I actually liked their banter although I don’t know how many people will really get the reference to WKRP tv show. 😂

[@rogerstezeno333]

The problem starts with the set position when walking running and sprinting what is the best running position it is not what you think it is

[@eriklynch5006]

Chris frustrated me here. He derailed the interview a number of times. Instead of working to get the guest to elaborate his knowledge he kept making the interview anecdotal and about inside jokes. The discussion would get interesting about neurology and then Chris would make it anecdotal. Was this a bunch of anecdotes about rpr? What is rpr? What neurological processes and techniques are we actually talking about? 30mins in and I can’t tell. Chris seemed to already know what the guest does (techniques/philosophy) so didn’t get him to elaborate and just jumped to anecdotes and jokes with the guest testifying to its profundity. Gets better from about 35mins.

[@lancastergerard]

Don’t you think that’s a red flag?

[@NK-nk3xe]

Yeah genius or not, Chris is really bad at NOT staying on topic. I cant even watch his presentations because of that. FOCUS MAN
