Back to business…

I was quite busy lately and actually on training camp on Cyprus with FC RAD (you can check some of the pics here), thus I was not able to post much (or at all). I have actually met great Roberto Sassi in Larnaca when we played against FC Dynamo from Moscow. He was tracking his players HRs using Polar system. Unfortunately, we were unable to chat for long although I think that would be time well spent.

I am in the process of reading 800+ pages of printed out research and watching excellent video lectures on Performance in Sports involving Intense Exercise, some of which are based on the articles I am just reading. Make sure to watch them!

We are entering in-season from tomorrow, since the first game is on Saturday. Expect some posts on in-season training and some thoughts on RSA along with general gibberish.

In the mean time I highly suggest checking David Tenney’s article on soccer at 8WeeksOut.com

As for me, I am back to lifting although I have some small SI joint tweaks now and them which is the daemon that follows me all the time. I am using some of Lyle McDonald advices on this and I suggest taking a look at the forum thread and YouTube videos. I also plan going back to martial arts (BJJ and boxing), but we will see with the time constraints.

And that’s all with this “update”. Going to lift

Short update

It has been a while since I’ve updated this blog. To be honest I have been working and training myself and my writing mojo has left me one more time. I was thinking about writing on in-season planning, basically sharing my ideas, but I somehow I don’t feel like writing. Maybe after the season is over I could sum up some of…

Playing With Statistics [Part 1]

Recently I have seen EXCELLENT presentation from Stuart Cormack regarding monitoring in rugby. They utilize GPS, biochemical monitoring, sRPE and Neuromuscular fatigue testing and create light system that red-flags players that need more attention and are away from their usual variability, both to their individual baseline and team baseline (they utilize standard difference score and rolling averages over 4…

Interview with David Tenney

I’ve heard of David Tenney for the first time from my fellow coach and friend Joel Jamieson and I soon realized we share similar training philosophy. David raised a lot of eyebrows training-wise lately by critiquing too much of glycolitic conditioning volume in soccer and pointing to the importance of aerobic training, which got pretty bad rep…
