S6:E16 - Unlocking the Training Secrets of World Champions

Have you ever wanted to know what actually happens behind the scenes when training and coaching champion athletes?

Most people think it’s all periodisation, program design, and pie charts.
It’s not.

80% of coaching is knowing and understanding your athlete. More specifically, their breaking point.
One of the most underrated killers for athletes is volume. Athletes are wired to do the work. The problem is they often do so much work that they burn out.

In this podcast, I sit down with Enterprise Trainers Jason and Shane, and they pick my brain on some of the noteworthy experiences I’ve had training Commonwealth Games gold medallists, Mr and Ms Australias, Olympians, and world champion boxers.

The reason I was able to help dozens of athletes achieve the highest levels across different sports is because I was able to push them to their limit…

And at the right time…

Give them a much-needed rest.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Coaching hacks to stick to a plan
The power of stacking behaviour (and how I go about it)
Why boxing (or playing golf) with weighted gloves (or clubs) will ruin your game
How I train and peak athletes for their sport
How I use ordinary gym lifts to predict an athlete's performance in the ring or on the field
How I use heart rate data to design elite programs
Why I prioritise strength first and conditioning last
And an insight into my training (and the string of recent injuries)

This episode gives you a backstage pass into the inner workings of coaching and training elite athletes.
