Ep 116: Jason Feairheller- Why The T-Step Is An Effective Strategy For Changing Direction
I recently made a post asking if turning the foot out is an effective strategy for changing direction. To give you some more context the video is from this year’s NFL Combine and features Christian Gonzalez, a cornerback from Oregon performing the W Drill. In this drill Christian backpedals straight back and on a cue he sprints forward at a slight angle. In the video I made a point to show the strategy Christian uses to make this transition from backward to forward, and in the video he performs a T step or turns his foot to the side to stop.I said this was a good strategy, but about half of the comments I got said it wasn’t so I just want to go into a little more detail about why this is the most effective way to make this transition.

Angelo Gingerelli has been a strength and conditioning coach for two decades and has worked with youth, collegiate and professional athletes. Gingerelli’s background in powerlifting and Olympic weightlifting combined with his academic pursuits provided him with a solid background to work with traditional power sport athletes but was lacking when it came to training athletes specializing in longer-duration activities for the first decade of his coaching career. In 2010, he began running road races and ran his first marathon in 2011, where he promptly caught the “marathon bug” and has since run several similar races. During this period, he became interested in applying resistance training principles to endurance sports in an effort to better serve the swimmers and cross-country athletes he was training and in order to improve his own marathon performance.

This episode with Mark was awesome. We intended to talk a lot about speed development for hockey but we took a turn in the beginning and we stuck with it. Mark talked about the importance of “buy in” and how “we are in the business of helping people”. There are so many great points Mark made during this podcast. Make sure you are ready to take notes.
Michelle was a great guest to have on the show. In this episode we discussed the importance of creating a system, creating principles, and how to organize your coaching philosophy. We also talked about Michelle's mentorship group and how helpful it is to have another coach guide you, hold you accountable, and help you structure your thoughts.

In this episode with Lee we talk about the concept of "speed is a skill". This concept is multifaceted, and we spoke a lot about how understanding multidirectional speed is not utilized enough in our profession. This was an awesome talk with Lee and I hope you all enjoy it.
