Simon Ward, The High Performance Human Triathlon Podcast
Health & Fitness
Back in 1995 when I started my triathlon coaching career, my first published article for 220 Magazine was about strength training for triathletes. Back then I was in a tiny minority of coaches who felt that this was an important piece of the puzzle in helping athletes to build resilience, stay injury free, boost consistency, and ultimately improve their performance.
You can often hear me talking about how important it is to build a strong foundation, and 25 years later I feel that we might actually be making some progress.
In today’s podcast I’m delighted to be chatting with Performance Coach Jess Elliot from Boulder, Colorado. Jess and I share a very similar philosophy when it comes to athlete preparation and in today’s call Jess shares this philosophy as she answers questions sent in by members of my SWAT and Triathlon Coach Cafe Facebook pages:
Here are some of the links mentioned in the show:
Monster resistance bands for your home gym
Sports Research resistance band set which Jess bought for her father
How to make your own sandbag
How to use sliders
Jess’ favourite book “The Language of Coaching”
EXOS Human Performance
Hollow Body Holds
