What We Will Be Covering at EADS 2.0?

Session 1: Developing Your Training Philosophy for Elite Athletes (Mike Robertson)

Believe it or not, writing a program is often the last thing you should do when working with an athlete.

Arguably the first (and most important) thing to do is get clear on your training and coaching philosophy.

In this presentation Mike will outline the “big rocks” of his training philosophy, and provide real-world examples to show how a training philosophy is built and refined over the years.

Session 2: Periodization Concepts 1 (Joe Kenn)

In his first of two periodization talks, Coach Kenn is going to discuss the foundational concepts necessary to develop training programs for elite athletes.

Coach Kenn will start by helping you see the big picture, as it’s imperative to have a vision when laying out a multi-year program for a young athlete. However, when done successfully, this four year programming block can take an elite high school or college age athlete and make them a monster.

From there, things will be broken down even further into the goals and foci of individual training years, and how to write a detailed annual plan as well. In this session, everything from the off-season, in-season and transition phases will be covered.

Session 3: Managing the In-Season Athlete (Mike Robertson)

Off-season training for athletes is fairly straight-forward. As a coach, your training is their primary focus, and outside demands and stressors are limited.

Managing athletes during the season is a totally different animal. Your job as a performance coach is to keep your athletes powerful, fit and on the field/court, with the goal always being to win as many games as possible.

In this talk Mike will discuss his work with the Indy 11 professional soccer team, beginning with focuses and goals for the season, and then drilling down even further to highlight specific training and recovery strategies that were used over the course of their 7 month competitive season.

Session 4: Periodization Concepts 2 (Joe Kenn)

In the second of his two periodization talks, Coach Kenn will start outlining how to build out the months/mesocycles of your annual plan, and how to determine what needs should be addressed in each.

From there, Coach Kenn will show how various periodization protocols can work within the Tier System. Regardless of what type of periodization you prefer (undulating, conjugate, block, concurrent, linear, etc.) you’ll see how this can be tied seamlessly into the Tier System.

Session 5: Elite Athlete Case Studies (Mike Robertson)

During last years presentation, numerous attendees remarked at the transparency and depth of the elite athlete case studies.

Quite simply, it was rare to have a coach who would work fellow peers step-by-step through his program design process.

So if something is working, why mess with it?

In this talk Mike will take you through the off-season programs of two of his athletes, and discuss everything from laying out the various training blocks, down to exercise selection and everything in-between.

Session 6: Coaching 202 (Joe Kenn)

Coach Kenn will begin by briefly reviewing his Coaching 101 presentation given at last years EAD seminar, and then go deeper and talk more about his “Words Win” philosophy.

As we all know, we don’t just coach athletes, but human beings as well. Coach Kenn will talk about thriving for personal excellence both on and off the playing field, and how to give your athletes the best chance for success not only in athletics, but life as well
