⚽️ CRUSHING BURNOUT - AVOIDING THE DIP ⚽️

In this first video, we take a look at the first major cause of burnout: THE DIP.

No matter how strong you are mentally as an athlete, THE DIP challenges us to keep pushing as it casts a shadow of doubt over our progress, our dreams, and our self-confidence.

Inside we cover:

THE DIP and what causes it.

The 80 Fast / 20 Slow concept.

Flow State and how to achieve it during your training sessions.

The Rule of Thirds when it comes to your development.

The importance of Deep Work as well as Creativity and Exploration.

And finally, what the current Pathway to Mastery looks like for most athletes, and why so many get caught in the Burnout Zone.

🔥 ARE YOU GETTING ANTI-COACHED? (Part 1) 🔥

Anti-Coaching has many forms, and depending on the sport is either rarely seen, moderately prominent, or in some cases, it has spread like a w**d because of some underlying issue that doesn't allow the w**ds to be plucked.

This series will help you to determine if your emperor has no clothes... err...

If you have finally chugged enough snake oil...

No, no, something about throwing money down the drain...

Anyway, if I think of it, I will let you know, but basically this series will help you see if you are paying CLUB or EXPERT prices for REC level coaching.

⚽ What is anti-coaching?

Anti-Coaching is when a coach, who may have the best intentions, has you doing things that will guarantee you to waste time (best case), or actually get worse.

Usually this simply stems from a lack of knowledge, the industry is years or decades behind, or sometimes, they are simply too lazy to be up to speed on what it means to DEVELOP talent... even though they offer lessons... I know, odd.

The most blatant anti-coaches put players at risk, or abuse them psychologically. The latter of these two is an odd phenomenon, because so players would say that Bobby Knight, one of the most successful basketball coaches ever was overly abusive, while others would say that he pushed them to their best, BECAUSE of the way he motivated and drove them... so it is often a subjective phenomenon.

For today, let's discuss simply missing the most basic principles in sport...

the ATHLETIC STANCE.

Here is the thing...

And once you see it... it cannot be unseen.

Below is a simple video of a VERY athletic female player, who operates well in a HIGH athletic stance. This is because she is very fast twitch in nature, running below 60s in the 400m without any training or coaching, and plays against men regularly at 103lbs...

So, her stance is higher than most can get away with, because she is very quick twitch genetically.

⚽ The ATHLETIC STANCE is simple... chest, over knees, over toes, b***y back, lower back locked in place, weight on front half of feet. The angle at the knee should be 110-135 degrees normally.

Stronger athletes like football defensive backs being able to play lower due to years of lifting weights... this relative strength is also why they are much faster than soccer players on average.

Weaker athletes will play higher, but this just means they will not generate the power that lower athletes can... if the lower athletes truly have the strength to play low...

It is a double edged sword... if you are weak and try to play low, you will play slower...

So, you MUST develop strength in order to maximize explosiveness found in the deeper angles.

⚽ So, what is the anti-coaching issue?

When you FIRST learn a skill is the ONLY time you should not be in an athletic position...

The moment you have a move 'down', then you must return to athletic angles, athletic change of pace, and train the 'move' in an athletic position...

Because the angles and touches are different at pace...

They are different when done athletically.

⚽ So, is it really that big a deal?

No, not if you want to waste your time doing moves that won't actually carry over very well to games. (WASTE OF TIME)

It's your life.

But additionally, you are PAYING to train yourself bad habits...

⚽ IN CONFLICT, YOU WILL NEVER RISE TO YOUR EXPECTATIONS, BUT WILL FALL TO THE LEVEL OF YOUR TRAINING. ⚽

Imagine doing hundreds and hundreds, or thousands of thousands of repetitions, all while training bad habits into your nervous system. (TRAINING TO GET WORSE)

I bet MOST of you don't have to imagine very hard...

You get to LIVE IT every night at the pitch.

Yay for you!

But wait, you also PAY FOR IT!

Ouch... that one stung.

You could have also been getting stronger in that low position by practicing in that low position, so it is lost opportunity to create a training efficiency (TECHNICAL + PHYSICAL).

⚽ So, what is the solution?

First, watch the video, and make sure you understand what being in an athletic stance means.

Then, any time you are a) on the ball,

b) in a position where you might receive a pass,

c) tracking another player, or

d) defending.

Or, any other time you feel that there may be some reason why you may be called on to move instantly.

Then, even if that isn't the standard for your team, your private sessions (please tell me you don't pay for private sessions where you aren't in an athletic stance... please), your club, whatever...

Then, you either have to upgrade from your 'club' coach, to a coach who is at least on par with U12 basketball and American football coaches...

You charge for skill work in those sports standing upright and you will be run out of town...

And, rightfully so...

Because that is the simplest PRINCIPLE...

Not negotiable.

PRINCIPLE of training athletes.

the ATHLETIC STANCE.

Literally couldn't be simpler.

And yet, in soccer the VAST majority of coaches never come close...

Trying to find the magic formation, or lineup, or coolest new drill to develop Soccer IQ?

Haha, yep...

All of that 'matters' at some stage of development...

But, if you aren't even close with the simplest things...

For you, hopefully this will open your eyes as to what you are paying for...

If your child isn't in an athletic stance, it simply isn't...

coaching.

It is Anti-Coaching.

Fine for a volunteer Rec coach who doesn't know better...

You know, the kind with no ego, not getting paid, probably has a kid on the team...

But for a 'Club Coach'?

Unacceptable.

It's Anti-Coaching.

Hope this helps you spend your precious time and hard earned money on development, and make sure to avoid the Anti-Coaching!

Take care RENEGADES!

🔥 THE WORK WORKS ON YOU, MORE THAN YOU DO ON THE WORK. 🔥

Most parents, coaches, and athletes miss the deeper purpose behind club sports...

That they are a gateway to take your child from being a player, to being an athlete doing something they love.

A PLAYER is someone who dabbles and talks, and needs mommy and daddy to buy them motivation, or nag them, or pretend they are working hard, when deep down everyone knows it just isn't so...

An ATHLETE is someone who learns to take ownership and responsibility of their own development... just making it a priority and showing up at first, then organizing and making sure they take ownership, then following through without being told...

All without your parents going broke paying a coach to set up cones and cheer you on while you dribble.

Why are these things so important? Because they represent lifelong skills and character traits that must be mastered in order to realize potential.

Parents have gone beyond 'giving opportunity' to now trying to buy success via hand holding and endless private lessons.

Do these things teach responsibility? Motivation? Discipline?

Going to have someone sit with them while they do their engineering homework?

'Great job Billy! You really factored that polynomial well after using the chain rule! Keep going, bro!'

It's almost comical to imagine.

And yet, we don't hold the same standard for something they love as we do for something we know is vital to their future...

But, they principles for success are the exact same.

Doing DEEP WORK like the RST Workouts doesn't just teach you technical skill...

That is only the surface effect.

DEEP WORK truly teaches:

✅ SKILLS: by focusing on single area of the game deeply for 60-90 days... and showing improvement via pre and post testing.

✅ FITNESS: by controlling the work to rest ratio and expecting a low athletic position, both work capacity, and dynamic strength are drastically improved in just 20 minutes a day.

✅ DO THE WORK: the ability to just do the work necessary is learned and day in and day out discipline is achieved when motivation waxes and wanes. By learning to execute, mental toughness is built by having skin in the game.

✅ ALIGNMENT: of your words and reality allows your subconscious to quit undermining your confidence. You can say whatever you want, but your subconscious knows if you are a liar or not... and you cannot be confident if you know that it is all untrue.

✅ FEEDBACK LOOP: by creating milestones with celebrations, ongoing targets for controllable measures, and celebrating when you do the work you set out to do, instead of celebrating wins that you cannot control, you then cement home all of the reasons you have been doing the DEEP WORK every day.

✅ CONFIDENCE: By developing the skills, fitness, the ability to follow through and do the work, not lying to yourself, and seeing tangible results, you build confidence that is immediately felt and seen on the pitch...

Imagine when you start inviting your best pads over to do 1v1s and 2v2 for hours every week, and you integrate your newly mastered skills into bag of tools on the pitch...

What life lessons have you seen carry over from owning doing the WORK to get better on the pitch?

THE FORGE IS LIVE!
SPEED & AGILITY TRAINING AT HOME!

09/08/2021

For those of you who aren't in the RST free group, but want to arm yourselves with KNOWLEDGE from someone who spent years as a performance consultant, strength and conditioning coach, college and HS team coach, and was one of a handful of the original Nike SPARQ trainers...

Here is the link:

https://www.renegadesoccertraining.com/the-forge-launch-day-1/

Let's just start it off with a bang...

One of the pillars of development that is easily test-able, to make sure your coach / club / director has a clue is the PHYSICAL PILLAR.

So, if you aren't getting regular updates (every 4-8 weeks) on the progress of your child in terms of speed, fitness, and strength...

Plus a stack-rank against years of past players... current players...

Well... then there is a lot of wink - winking going on when they use the term 'development'.

It isn't... or at least there are ZERO standards or accountability, or measurement to see if there is any development actually happening...

So, it's the wink-wink method of development.

'Development'.

The "three day certification, with no ongoing mentoring, professional development, or accountability method... aka wink wink 'your kid is getting better, trust me method."

Let's throw down another gauntlet...

Here's a hint...

Focus on the grey areas between pillars to see if your training is sub-optimal.

I would say sub-standard, but the standard is horrifying, so standard isn't what I would strive for...

Here is a grey area...

Combine TECHNICAL and PHYSICAL pillars and you get technical work, small group work, etc all done with an athletic position required at all times you could be engaged.

What would you call training where baseball players were all standing upright when the ball is hit?

Terrible.

What would you call training football defensive backs all standing upright when the ball is thrown?

Terrible.

What would you call training where basketball players all standing upright, not ready to explode?

Terrible?

What would you call the same thing done on a soccer pitch every night at club practices?

Premiere!

If you wouldn't tolerate it from a U10 basketball coach, a PAL football coach, or a local baseball coach...

Why would you on the soccer pitch?

You shouldn't...

Something has to change...

It starts with knowledge, which leads to courage to ask hard questions...

Educate yourself!

See in this Gauntlet, you're going to get the framework for 1v1 moves to break down defenders both in space and in tight areas.

We call this framework the MASTERY FRAMEWORK.

The reason this works to well is because we're going to focusing on volume sessions focusing on the basic building blocks and moving to complex sessions that add intensity.

This challenges the players and produces results fast so you can immediately take what you have learned and apply it in the game.

The Gauntlet 5 is a challenge format with both weekly and big cash prizes at the end of the challenge.

That's right, we're dedicating a percentage of sales to award not one but two cash prizes to the challenges who accept and put in the work.

To make The Gauntlet 5 even more accessible, we're giving you two options, a beginner track and an advanced track that you can select at anytime.

So if you want to step up the challenge, you can do the advanced workout. If it's too much, you can go and select the beginner workouts.

The beauty of these workouts is that they focus on a concise set of skills to greatly enhance mastery and create a positive feedback loop for the players.

This is going to be a total game changer for all players wanting to take on defenders in the open field or tight spaces.

If you're ready to step up your game, improve your 1v1 ability, and shake defenders off you...

Then you're going to want to accept the challenge.
