Speed, Strength, & Neurology with Dan Fichter | TFC Podcast Ep. 15 

I am a track and field coach in Germany. very good and interesting discussion. I have been using the training principles "less is more", "RPR" and neuroathletics for several years and have had good success with them. My athletes have no muscular injuries. The other trainers react, among other things, with envy and resentment because they don't understand it. Department heads in the club can't handle it when employed trainers have success with things they don't understand. They grab talent and then destroy it. But it's not your fault... School, studies, training are always the reasons. How can an athlete tear her hamstrings the day before leaving for the national championships? It's not for nothing that Germany is so far behind the world leaders... I love discussions and content like this and there are so many bad examples because many trainers only care about their own fame. The enthusiasm conveyed here is the same with which I try to explain my philosophy. In the weight room I can push young people quickly, achieve quick successes through tempo runs and by the time they are 18 they are physically exhausted. I've seen so many people who were no longer able to do sports at that age... People look askance at you if you put on your spikes in winter and increase your speed all year round. Punished with amazement and ignorance when you train all winter in a small gym, don't do any sprints - more like "Feed the Cats" - and all athletes get PRs in their first competition. I love this voodoo stuff!!!

This guy knows more neurology than me and I have a Chiropractic Degree!!!

This is the craziest stuff I've ever heard that on hearing it explained and demonstrated, JUST MAKES SENSE!, MIND BLOWN ONCE AGAIN 🙂

Massively interesting.

Eye opening!!! Awesome!!

This PODCAST is full of Revelations... thanks coach Tony. Am unlearning and relearning

Have been implementing TFC into my track work. Feeling great and ready for my senior season.

Thank you. Grateful!

I actually liked their banter although I don’t know how many people will really get the reference to WKRP tv show. 😂

Where can I see the podcast with Alex Natera?

Chris frustrated me here. He derailed the interview a number of times. Instead of working to get the guest to elaborate his knowledge he kept making the interview anecdotal and about inside jokes. The discussion would get interesting about neurology and then Chris would make it anecdotal. Was this a bunch of anecdotes about rpr? What is rpr? What neurological processes and techniques are we actually talking about? 30mins in and I can’t tell. Chris seemed to already know what the guest does (techniques/philosophy) so didn’t get him to elaborate and just jumped to anecdotes and jokes with the guest testifying to its profundity. Gets better from about 35mins.

Where can I find this Bobby stroupe presentation?

"She got the goggly eye." 😆🤣 "So, it's like having seggs with a ghost?" 🤣🤣

The problem starts with the set position when walking running and sprinting what is the best running position it is not what you think it is

Is there a good place to see an example of the infinity walk drill? Thank you
