Matt at USFCA - Week 2


It’s now the end of my second week here in the states and its honestly going way to quickly, time must fly when you’re having fun. I haven’t been able to do much more exploring of the city this week but I’m making a list of things to do while I’m here, no.1 is definitely get to and cycle across the Golden Gate Bridge!!

My work with the athletes has continued to be full of lessons, especially about working with basketball players (the team I spend the most time with) and how to adjust a training plan around any injuries the athletes have or might of picked up in recent training. One of the coaches reminded me that there is always a way to work around an injury and still get the most out of each training session.

 

It’s been a cold week here and very foggy on most days, I’m almost starting to regret only packing one jumper! I’m not complaining though as I don’t see myself getting another chance to be in a city like this any time soon!!




Myself and the other intern have been challenged by the coaches to put together a small presentation each about a topic of interest which we will present and discus early next week. It had to be a relevant to S&C and something we either are reading about or interested in. I have decided to talk about the use of velocity in strength based training, as It is somethi8ng I have experience with and something they do not use here with their athletes. Hopefully it goes well! I’ll let you all know next week!
