Setting Up Students To Become Elite Athletes

by | Dec 2023 | 0 comments

Explore the journey of transforming a novice athlete into an elite athlete with Reb Brock, 30-year strength coach and Former Director Of Strength & Conditioning at Del Valle (Tex.) Independent School District.

At the heart of Coach Brock’s approach is the understanding that athletic development is a marathon, not a sprint. He emphasizes an 8 to 12-year developmental timeline, starting from junior high through high school. This perspective is crucial for effectively nurturing athletes over time.

Key Takeaways

Foundation with Bodyweight Exercises: Coach Brock advocates starting with basics – bodyweight squats, lunges, push-ups, and chin-ups.

Progressive Overload and Technique: Transitioning from basic exercises to more advanced techniques like bench presses and front squats, Coach Brock stresses the importance of proper form and progressive overload.

Balancing Volume and Intensity: Understanding the progression levels and maintaining a balance between volume and intensity in training is a key aspect of his coaching.
