Episode #164 Optimizing Programming and Training Environment in a Large Team Setting with Pat Basil
Send us your questions, or thoughts on today's episode!
In this episode, Hamilton College Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Pat Basil joins us to talk EVERYTHING related to training athletes in large team settings.
Pat oversees 600+ athletes often BY HIMSELF and has developed some fantastic protocol to best handle a quality strength training program consisting of that many athletes.
To start, Pat talks about the day to day responsibilities he has and how things are structured when navigating dozens of teams through in-season and off-season programing. From there, he talks about individualization and how seeking individualization with large teams is a fools errand. It will lead you to inadequately serve the athletes and frankly, isn't possible. Pat touches on the idea of simplicity and how you can maximize effectiveness by having athletes work on mastery of the same principles of training week in and week out.
From there, the conversation turns to tracking weights for main movements, programming based on your facility set up and availability and how you can best instruct/teach when you have a large number of athletes to work with.
All that and more on this episode of Muscles and Management!
