Herb Brooks



If you haven't read anything about Herb Brooks, and you are interested in athletic development, coaching and leadership, you should. I am pretty clueless when it comes to understanding details of the sport of hockey, but I'm just fascinated by Herb and his strategies for producing excellence. Here are three books I recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about him:

The Boys of Winter by Wayne Coffey

Herb Brooks: The Inside Story of a Hockey Mastermind by John Gilbert

America's Coach by Ross Bernstein

And you can find the Herb Brooks Foundation website here.

I am looking forward to chatting up Jack Blatherwick this June at the GAIN Apprentorship and hearing some great Herb stories!

Hard to believe it will be 30 years this February. Where were you when this game was played?

I was at Hazelwood Central during my last conference swim meet in high school. I can still remember everyone chanting USA USA when they made the anouncement that we had beaten the Soviets.

These are some of the women featured in his book Athlete --a very cool pictorial essay that celebrates athletic form and function.

It's About Preparing People, not Preventing Injuries

ACL injuries do not happen in a void. People sustain injuries when their infrastructure is unable to manage a specific set of physical circumstances. To describe the mechanism of the injury without the context of the person and their level/type of sport, is to miss valuable insight. In sport, we prepare the person, to the best of our understanding, to meet the physical demands of that sport. We do not just work to prevent one particular injury; we prepare athletes to navigate the total sport physical environment. By "we" I mean the coaching and support staff -- specifically the athletic development staff.  Athletic development (AD) coaches prepare athletes through the development of physical literacy and movement competencies via movement progressions. It is more than strength, power, agility; it is the acquisition of knowledge, skills, abilities and behaviors to manage themselves within the entire sporting environment. At the higher levels of sport, AD coaches coordinate wit...

Strength: Overcoming Tradition & Assumptions

Image
The term "strength" comes with many images and stereotypes. The most common stereotype usually includes intimidating men who look like action figures, in spaces that look like iron jungles. Strength is associated with mass gain, limb girth increases, muscle hypertrophy and maximal force production against an external load. With regard to lower body strength, we speak in terms of multiples of bodyweight (BW), with the ratio of 2x BW historically viewed as necessary and desirable. We have historically trained in terms of 1 RM. There has been a trend recently to adopt a VBT (velocity based training) approach, as we know 1 RM changes on a daily basis and technology now allows us to more finely tune things with velocity as the target within each set. These things can be helpful as we initially learn to measure and document progress. But I think it is important to step back from this narrow outlook, because this view of strength does not serve all of us well, in either the rehab or...
