Upper Left Performance #24 Leaving the Strength and Conditioning Silo - Tactical and Technical Development in Sport

Strength coaches often complain that sport coaches do not understand physical development and proper general training. However, we forget that tactical and technical elements are king in the game of performance. So why not leave our silo and go learn from sport coaches? This is the first of many discussions I hope to have with sport coaches to better understand the structure of sport and how to reverse engineer my process from the field to the weight room instead of the opposite approach we so commonly utilize. 

Special thanks to these panelists who got the ball rolling! Matt Troy is the head volleyball coach at Johns Hopkins and is fresh off an undefeated season in which his ladies won the DIII National Championship, Max Watson is the head men's soccer coach at VMI and Kyle Bakas is the head men's soccer coach at Coe College.

I ask you to let me know if you have any good guest recommendations for similar topics. Streamlining the development and performance process is critical to winning and it's time to leave our silos and share information across fields.
