This episode has been a long time coming. I’ve mentioned him quite often in the old “My Thoughts Monday” shows as being a vital part of our “Q Team”, and it’s about time I brought him onto the show. Throughout the X minute discussion Beacher and I get into:

• What is the first “marker” that we look at when we start to develop out programs, and, even though we find success in similar programs, there is a huge need for there to be some major differences
• Ways that he evaluates the team that have impacted how programming is progressed and helped display what their level of “preparedness” is.
• Where he feels the largest challenge in “practical periodization”, including what has helped him drive those decisions.
• If there is confusion on the thoughts of periodization and training progressions where it could have stemmed from.
• How the subjective and objective progression of programming is a give and take process that has allowed better individualization to training and greater buy in by the athletes towards their development.
• Using the warm up as your evaluation, injury reduction work, and preparation for the exercises that they’re going to perform.

Beacher has been vital to our development as a staff and his input into the programming of our athlete’s has been a huge help in how we have progressed.  Make sure you give him a follow-on Instagram @alphacoach1 to see what he’s building in the training of all the teams he gets to work with.
