Dogma is killing your athletic gains.

All too often in sports it is simply the coach doing what they learned when playing, which their coached learned when they were playing, when their coach learned when they were playing...

It’s incredibly common to see bad practices repeated as gospel that have been the non-optimal route for decades!

But these methods get passed on without hesitation.

And don’t get us wrong! We’re not do***ng the coaches. If it worked for them, why not work for the next generation? Sometimes these templates are incredibly effective at producing results!

But how to we include better information as time goes on and disband with the stuff that doesn't help our athletes along?

Well, that is precisely what this camp is all about – disrupting deeply held beliefs and driving to the core of their progress.

The principles developed by the ATG look at a CENTURY of athletic success and doggedly chased down those clues, figured out what worked for the freakiest athletes on the planet and how to translate those gains to your everyday athlete.

We have better knowledge. We can do better.

IF you did ONE thing to help bulletproof the upper body of your athlete it would be DB External rotations, hands down.

In every sport where the arms are used (volleyball, baseball, football, tennis, swimming, golf…basically all of them), nearly all the forces produced are forward.

Further, nearly all forces produced are at MAX EFFORT. The shoulder is a precarious and unstable joint all by itself - a decade of hammering on the shoulder produces pain and dysfunction across nearly every sport. And if not directly, then downstream to the elbow and wrist or up into the neck and mid back.

Increased shoulder stabilization protects one of your most vulnerable and coveted joints in the body! Try playing the sports above at a high level with a painful and tweaked shoulder – you’re going to have a bad time!

If you did ONE thing to help bulletproof your athlete it would be Tib Raises, hands down.

Unless you are swimming, the NUMBER 1 contacted body part with some outside resistance is going to be the feet. It’s inescapable!

And what’s worse, almost no one trains Tibs. Therein is your biggest ROI for athlete bulletproofing and continued play time.

Strong Tibs = strong deceleration. Deceleration is key to bulletproofing and preventing pesky things like shin splits and plantar fasciitis.

If I want to get faster, I should do more sprints…right?

A better question is – how many sprints are you already doing?

If the answer is none, including sprints may be key.

If the answer is “a lot every day and every practice” then piling on MORE of the same will have reduced benefit. But we still want our athletes to get faster, right?

What if the answer was giving them the tools to SURVIVE the sprints they are already doing?

If they tweak their hamstring on Sprint # 72 of the week, then they’re ability to get stronger and faster is immediately halted.

If they spend that time instead *bulletproofing their hamstrings* their ability to attack sprint 1,035 4 years from now becomes more likely. What’s likely to get your athlete faster? 73 mediocre and tentative sprints or a 1000+ at max effort and pain free?

It’s about movement selection.

There are very few “bad” movements. There is only bad selection.

An example is making every single athlete bench press because…power?

Bench press is great. It does its job very well. There is a case to be made that nearly all human beings should implement a chest press for overall shoulder health and life function.

But what about the precious little time your athlete has to dedicate to training? They already have the demands of the sport, school, family obligations and just being a teenager/young adult. Do they really need to bench press to further those objectives?

For the large majority of sports, the answer is no. The ROI simply isn’t that good.

Yet Bench Press is a cornerstone for most athlete’s training.

Great movement, poor application.

We know better. Let’s do better for our athletes.

What is pain? How do we solve it? What is an injury vs. a tweak? How do we prevent them? How do we get athletes back on the field faster and at 100%?

These are the questions I wish more parents were asking of their athlete’s trainers.
Unfortunately most trainers don’t have the answers.

We know the answers. There are solutions. Things can be better. Your athlete can play healthy.

Right now our athletes are getting stronger, finding pain and solving it, bulletproofing against future injuries. If the strategy was to “hit the weight room” and let testosterone run wild, be certain that knees and backs are going to feel the pain of this.

In our programs our athletes feel BETTER after training, not wrecked. Training should prepare you for the field, not introduce a tweak you have to play around.

Athlete Bulletproofing Camp

Kicks off in 17 days

Did you save a seat?

05/14/2022

There is a singular thread amongst running and endurance athletes that cripple their progress – foot and knee pain.

A decade spent using hammering the feet with 100s of 1000s of steps has consequences. How do we solve that? There ARE solutions, you just have to know where to look and what tools to use.

Our athlete summer camp addresses foot and knee dysfunction at the root, solves it and allows the athlete to compete injury free.

Will the tweak go away on its own?

It’s very unlikely.

If you experience a tweak, your tissue could take anywhere from 1 week to 12 months (and have scar tissue along the way) to fully heal. How many games and practices will you play until then?

“No Pain, No Gain” is really a recipe for “knee hurts, no season”

Don’t play through injuries, RESOLVE them and come back stronger.
