467: Rett Larson on Movement Puzzles, Sneaky Strength and Cultivating Joy in Training
More show notes at https://www.just-fly-sports.com/podcast-467/
Today’s guest is Rett Larson, strength coach for the German Women’s Volleyball Team and creator of the "No Zombies" training philosophy. Rett coached Olympic medalists with China and the Netherlands, blending energy, rhythm, and purposeful movement into world-class performance.
As sport expands into an increasingly more high-pressure, early specialization event that can easily suck fun and joy away, there grows a need for a “counter-culture” within athletic performance. Not only does a “physical preparation” process for athletes that is joyful and gamified lead to more fun within a training session, but it also develops important athletic qualities, within that umbrella of “fun” that may not be possible in more “traditional” sessions.
Rett Larson is spearheading an active, engaging approach to the physical preparation process for athletes with warmups designed for joy, engagement, and a comprehensive stimulation of athletic qualities along the way. On today’s episode, Rett speaks on a variety of engaging tools and gamifications in the warmup process for both thermogenic and neurological preparation. He goes into his take on partner exercises and isometrics, and the process of using a physical challenge to “sneak” strength and skill elements in the program.
