Miscellaneous
In this episode we have the honour of speaking with Brittany Van Schravendijk of "KB Fit Brit". Brittany is a kettlebell sport lifter with multiple records and achievements under her belt. Her full bio can be found on her website here. We covered topics like: - why and when Brittany stepped into the Ice Chamber gym - spreading her wings beyond the San Francisco / Berkley area - why she started making kettlebell technique videos on youtube - the upsides and downsides to online resources - youtube celebrity changes the game - ask not what you can do for your organization, but rather what your organization can do for you - what does the organization offer other than a ranking table - combining ranking tables gets messy, why bother? - out of half a dozen organizations, "I don't think any organization thus far has totally gotten it right..." - how do we create diversity in competitions, while integrating them all into a cohesive calendar? - what is the appropriate time between competitions? - the value that consistent training has in your progress, in the absence of obvious changes - mental training, and ideas on how to get the most out of post-comp reflection - a good program should challenge you and build confidence, rather than crush you - shit happens when we think "more is better" - you can't peak all the time - there's is a reason behind pulling yourself back - "[Denis] isn't ready to lift 32's all the time..." - professional weights take a toll on your body - overcoaching...it happens. By game day, the work has already been done - the check-in (ask your athlete what they need before you overcoach) - different lifters benefit from different coaching ************************ http://ballisticstr.libsyn.com/ https://www.ballisticstrength.ca https://www.facebook.com/BallisticStrengthNanaimo/ https://twitter.com/@sollysnatches https://www.instagram.com/coach.solly/
