This week on the Pacey Performance Podcast, Rob is joined by three amazing guests, all with incredible amounts of experience developing speed with youth athletes.
Alan Murdoch, John Garrish and Micheál Cahill kick off this episode with one of the key questions and one that is talked about a lot, what are the differences when training speed with youth athletes versus adult athletes. Should we be as strict with our technical models? Do we even need technical models? Alan shares his experiences with us and gives us a great place to kick off this conversation.
We look into the tips and tricks to coach these key positions so you can implement the information tomorrow with your athletes. Another common scenario working with all athletes but especially youth athletes is that they are normally coming to us in large groups. But how do we maximise their time and get the biggest learning and training effect that we can? John shares exactly how he does this with his students at North Broward Preparatory School.
In the second half of the episode we dive into the weeds and discuss the exact drills to use with youth athletes. What has worked for these three guys and maybe more importantly, what hasn't. Micheál dives deep into the world of resisted speed training, explaining how they can used as a teaching and coaching tool as well as a training tool. We finish off this conversation with some questions that we put to these three guys on social media.
If you're working with youth athletes and want to maximise your time and their energy, check out this episode with Alan Murdoch, John Garrish and Micheál Cahill.
