<strong>How can we, as coaches, use this knowledge to help improve our athletes performance</strong>? <br />
<div>
</div>
Evaluate your athletes for posture and positioning and how it will affect their performance<br />
<ol>
<li>Take pictures of the athlete in shorts from the front, back and both sides.</li>
<li>Perform evaluation as the attached article indicates for each athlete and their potential issues.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<strong>Why is posture Important??</strong><br />
<ol>
<li>The article in Men's Health lists many basic issues relating to posture that we all should be concerned about.</li>
<li>The athlete should be concerned beyond the basic issues the article lists and focus on perfect posture for prevention of injuries as well! </li>
</ol>
<strong>Consider the following benefits of good posture</strong>:<br />
<ol>
<li> Proper muscle integration occurs since bones and joints are in proper alignment!!</li>
<li> Reduction in joint wear and tear!</li>
<li> Decreased stress on the ligaments holding the joints of the spine together!</li>
<li> Prevents the spine from being fixed in abnormal positions!</li>
<li> Less energy is expended because the muscles are being used more efficiently!</li>
<li> Prevents Strain!</li>
<li> Prevents Backache and Muscular Pain! </li>
</ol>
<strong>Power of Performance is greatly enhanced by the athlete with good posture</strong><br />
<ol>
<li>Body weight is positioned over the feet at all times allowing for maximum power into the ground.</li>
<li>Weight is over the feet at all times allowing for better hip rotation and consequently better and more precise lateral movement. <em>Note: Both the above are critical for skilled performance movements, and even more important for the non - gifted </em></li>
</ol>
<strong>Band strength and stretching for prevention and correction of posture problems</strong><br />
<ol>
<li>Band neck exercises for forward head - flexion-extension -side to side - rotation spiral - head chin forward and back <em>Note: This should help strength and flexibility for better posture of the head ( a 12-15 lb weight) which can greatly affect your movement, efficiency and safety </em></li>
<li>Band Exercises for elevated shoulder - very common - single arm shrugs <em>Note: Concentrate on the traps and the serratus muscles </em></li>
<li>Band Exercises for rounded shoulders - retraction and reverse retraction - lat rows middle and low <em>Note: One of the most common posture issues with those who bench too much and incorrectly form bad posture.</em></li>
<li>Band Exercises for Hunch Back - Deadlift <em>Note: the previous exercises help with this issue as well </em></li>
<li> Band exercises for anterior pelvic tilt-glute bridges <em>Note: great way to strengthen the lower posterior chain </em></li>
<li>Band exercises for pigeon toes, and duck toes - squats or deadlifts from toes in - toes out - toes straight ahead </li>
</ol>
See my band exercise videos at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/coachbilljacobs">www.youtube.com/user/coachbilljacobs</a><br />
<strong>Coaching Points for Posture + Positioning for Performance</strong><br />
<div>
</div>
<ol>
<li>Posture is one of the most neglected areas of strength training - "emphasis to the extreme will get the dream" <em>Note: Talking about it will not do it. Buddy Morris, a well known Strength Coach, once said that for every bad habit, it takes 5000 good reps to change the habit </em></li>
<li>Posture pics are worth a thousand words. Use your cell phone camera to make the point as you move through the weight room coaching them up!<em>Note: Pics Benching - Pics Pulling ( one of the worst things we all do)</em></li>
<li>Posture maintained with movement is what we need to focus on for the athlete <em>Note: Functional posture is the key to great movement</em></li>
<li>Posture or any bad habit needs to be over-emphasized in all ways possible. Don't tell them what NOT to do. Tell them how and why to do it right! <em>Note: Constant Reminders during drills, during exercise, during walking, during sitting will eventually sink in! Great coaching creates great habits!</em></li>
</ol>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">The first day on
the job was a little weird. The previous staff was all at work in the Woody
Hayes Athletic Center preparing for their upcoming bowl game with U of Florida.
I hadn’t officially taken the weight room over, so I was in a “media room” with
some other new members of the football staff. I tried to get familiar with
everything that comes with a new job. Meeting with Human Resources,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Athletic Directors, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>operations and facilities people and
figuring <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>out phone numbers, copy
machines, long distance codes, reimbursement policies, were all in my daily job
responsibilities. I was also finalizing our new Ohio State Football Strength
and Conditioning Coaches manual. I used the existing one I had developed at
Florida and just made all the changes that I needed to based on the new
situation at Ohio State. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first thing I did was to
try and put together a staff. The previous strength staff had three full time
football assistants. We were going to add an NCAA permitted fourth assistant.
All of the assistant positions were strictly to work with football and no other
sport. This was the first time in my career that assistants did not have to
work with other sports. This is definitely a huge benefit. I was thinking of my
staff set up. I wanted an Assistant Director or Associate Strength Coach that
had Head Strength Coaching experience.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first hire I made was
actually not a Strength Coach, it was a Sports Nutritionist. I thought it was
extremely imperative to have a full time nutritionist working with our football
team. I had worked with a nutritionist at Florida and Notre Dame. I had
actually started the nutrition program at Notre Dame when I was there as the
Director of Strength and Conditioning. I put together a job proposal and
responsibility list for our Athletic Director, Gene Smith. I itemized all of
the duties and responsibilities for the football nutritionist. Obviously this
was important to Coach Meyer as well. We do a great deal with our nutritionist.
Training table meals, Breakfast Club, educational meetings, pre-practice
fueling station, hydration station, body fat composition, cooking class,
pre-game meal planning, supplementation, grocery store tours, as well as
preseason meal planning are some of the duties that our nutritionist<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>has. Gene Smith was extremely
supportive. I had several meetings with our administration regarding this
matter. We found a way to hire Sarah Wick, a Sports Dietician (also is a
registered dietician) that was currently working through our university sports medicine
department. The athletic department would then “contract out” these
nutritionists for our student athletes. I was asking to take our football
sports nutrition program to the “next level “. Sarah </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri;">would be with
football the entire time. Being around the team and developing relationships is
very important for the nutritionist.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">I also wanted to
have a staff with familiarity of our football program philosophy and that I had
worked with in the past. Our methodology and philosophy is a little
unconventional so it was extremely important to get someone with our
experience. A couple of assistants that were on staff at the time of my hiring
came very highly recommended. Both were ex-Buckeyes, both played in the NFL,
both had experience training athletes. Jeff Uhlenhake was actually an athlete
when I was here as a GA back in 1987-88, so I had known Jeff for a long time.
Anthony Schlegel was relatively newer in the profession, with a boat load of
energy and excitement. I had talked to both of them about possibly being a part
of the staff, but I had not officially hired them, probably because I wanted to
hire an Assistant Director first. This position was extremely important because
of some of the other job responsibilities I was going to have. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">I had talked to a
few guys that I had worked with in the past and ended up hiring Rick Court, who
was at San Diego State as the Head Football Strength Coach. I had never worked
with Rick, but knew him well. He had worked with Aaron Hillmann for 5 or 6
years at Bowling Green. Aaron Hillmann had been a long-time assistant with me
at Cincinnati and Notre Dame, so the requirement of understanding our training
methods and coaching philosophy was achieved. Rick was also the Head Strength
Coach at Toledo prior to San Diego State. He was very familiar with our
training philosophy and how we do things. This was a very important hire for us
at Ohio State. Coach Meyer and I lean heavily on this position. I had talked
about hiring Coach Court in the past, but the timing was not right. We were
very excited to have a guy that was going to step down from a Head Strength
Coach position to come be an assistant. That right there is the power of The
Ohio State University. It also showed me that Coach Court did not have an ego
and was not insecure. Too many times in this profession, coaches have huge egos
and they think it is all about them, and they are the reason for success. No, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>they are not. They are merely just a
piece of the puzzle. Rick Court, no brainer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">With Rick Court,
Associate Strength Coach for football hired, I now had to put together the rest
of the staff. As stated previously, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wanted someone that I had actually worked with in the past.
Someone who knew me, knew my style, my temperament, my strengths and
weaknesses, someone who knew what I expected and probably most important,
someone who wanted to work with me again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Once again, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I talked to a
few people concerning this position and then hired <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kenny Parker, who had played his college football at Florida,
was a student football coach at Florida, worked as an assistant strength coach
with me at Florida, and was most recently the DL Coach, Head Strength Coach,
and player development person at Murray State. He had high school coaching
experience, college coaching experience, and also (like Rick) had been a Head
Strength Coach. Once again, the perfect assistant for what I was looking for.
Probably the most important attribute about Kenny is that he is a great person.
No drama, no ego, team player, willing to do “ANY’ job, understands long </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri;">hours, gets “it”,
great family guy, lots of juice and energy, has personality, and extremely
loyal. Kenny Parker, no brainer.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">With Rick Court and
Kenny Parker hired, I now had two positions left. Anytime you have to put a
staff together, chemistry and the right fit are very important. I wanted
different personalities as well. I did not want 5 strength coaches with the
exact same personality. Not a good practice. With 105-115 members of a college
football team, players will react better with different coaches. I think it
just makes sense to have a “melting pot” of people in regards to their
personality. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">The one thing you
understand about Ohio State when you work here is it’s a very prideful school.
The Buckeyes always look out for the current Buckeyes. Every member of the teams
of the past, has a special love for their University. This is true with a lot
of schools. But with Ohio State there is something a little different. Can’t
really explain it. You just have to experience it for yourself. So that being
said, I hired two ex-Buckeye football players, that so happened to work as
Strength Coaches with the previous staff; Jeff Uhlenhake and Anthony Schlegel.
I had known Jeff for many years. He was one of the players that I trained when
I was a GA strength coach back in the 80’s. I followed Jeff’s NFL career and
his coaching career throughout the years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When he was hired a few years back as an Assistant Strength Coach at
OSU, we had reconnected. He has a great deal of experience playing and
coaching. His obvious expertise was the offensive line. I also understand that
if you have a tough, mean, prideful, offensive line with the needed talent you
have a chance to have a good offense. Talking to Jeff and knowing his
personality and knowledge it was important for us to have Jeff as part of the staff.
He has a calming demeanor, but stern. This is a good contrast to Rick Court and
Kenny Parker. All three different. Jeff made it clear to me that he would do
any job to remain a part of the Ohio State family. Done, Hired , no brainer! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">The last person I
hired was Anthony Schlegel. Anthony played linebacker at Ohio State a decade
earlier. He had originally started his career at the Air Force Academy. I had
remembered his story back when he transferred.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also remembered Anthony when he played at Air Force.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Notre Dame played Air Force back in
2002. Anthony had come highly recommended from Luke Fickell who had coached him
and worked for Luke when he was interim Head Coach in 2011. After talking with
Anthony a few times about the position, I knew he was a perfect fit for the
staff. His energy, enthusiasm, and passion for strength training and Ohio State
were overwhelming. He also was highly involved in FCA activities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a college strength coach, you spend
a great deal of time with the athletes, probably more than anyone else in their
lives. We, as coaches, assume the role of teacher, motivator, cultivator, and
role model. Someone for them to look up to, to help lead them, to teach them,
to assist them in all endeavors. Anthony having a spiritual element to his
resume was indeed a huge benefit. His energy reminded me of myself 15-20 years
ago. He has a very similar personality to me. The only difference was that I am
15 or so years older and “wiser than him. I like the way I coach. Now I have someone on staff whoe coached like me, but a little different.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri;">He also has some expertise in
being a linebacker, and a linebacker at The Ohio State University. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 18px;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 18px;">No Brainer !!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Understanding the
chemistry and the complete alignment of a staff and what it is going to take to
work well together, has taken a number of years. The leader must not have an
ego, nor should he or she have an agenda. They must be secure with who they are
and have the confidence in their talents and knowledge. They should always be
on the offensive in terms of learning and finding the best ways to train and
develop their athletes. They must FULLY understand the mission of a strength
program. They must fully understand that it will take different personalities
and different ranges of experience and knowledge. The all must be qualified and
certified. They must all be in this profession for the right reasons. They must
all understand the mission of the football program. Our strength staff must
understand that we will “support” the football program in any way needed. We
may have to do tasks that may not be typically associated with training, but
they are typically associated with developing and being part of a successful
organization. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">The strength staff
was put together with a plan and with certain criteria. Head coaching
experience, training familiarity, ex player, position expertise, good people,
no agendas, team player, willingness to grind and learn, love and respect of
the head football coach and/or university. All of these criteria were thought
of and desired. Another big issue for me was not to have any drama on our
staff.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No personality conflicts
and no egos!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Our staff has over
27 years of head strength coaching experience at the collegiate level. 3
national championships, nine conference championships , 12 years of NFL playing
experience, 2 years of NFL coaching experience, 5 years of on the field college
coaching experience, over 20 years of participating in college athletics,
trained numerous NFL 1<sup>st</sup> rounders, and has a total of 12 children
and more on the way !!! So we have do have a family atmosphere within our staff
and I can say that this staff is truly one of the best strength and conditioning
staffs in the country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h2>
Getting Started: New Program, New Home</h2>
<h4>
By Mickey Marotti – Asst. AD for Football Sports Performance at The Ohio State University</h4>
<br />
It is a very exciting time when you get a chance to start up a strength and conditioning/ football program with a new football coach and staff. A great deal of thought for both the strength program and football program goes into it prior to the initial startup. In early December of 2011, I got a chance to accompany long-time friend and coach, Urban Meyer to Columbus, Ohio and work as Asst. AD for Football Sports Performance at The Ohio State University.<br />
<br />
We had previously worked together at Notre Dame and Florida. From early on our philosophy and methodology to strength training and coaching in general were very similar. We believed in tough, hard-disciplined work with energy, passion and excitement. We believed that challenging the student-athlete mentally was just as important as challenging them physically. Our ultimate goal was to help create a work ethic like none other. We wanted to set the culture as giving relentless effort as a player and really understanding what it means to “Go Hard” when in the weight room or on the practice field.<br />
<br />
I had the opportunity to help Coach Meyer and his staff develop The University of Florida into one of the best programs in the country. We were privileged to win 2 National Championships, 2 SEC Championships, a Sugar Bowl Championship and win 21 games in a row at one point. We began our time at Florida really focusing on improving as a player, being accountable, and really teaching and bringing a hard training, hard practicing mentality to Gainesville. That being said, it was very exciting to start up again, but this time in Columbus, Ohio.<br />
<br />
The ironic thing about Ohio State, it is where I began my strength training career 25 years ago. I was a graduate assistant from 1987-1988. I worked for Steve Bliss, Head Strength Coach and Earl Bruce, Head Football Coach. I actually met Coach Meyer while he was a football GA at the same time, so not only was it exciting to venture back to where I started coaching, but to come to OSU and start up a program.<br />
<br />
From the time I accepted the job, until the first day I arrived, I spent all of my time jotting down notes and thoughts regarding what I would do at OSU and what we had done at Florida. Of the things we did, what exactly would we bring to Columbus? I did a SWOT analysis of Florida, from the time I arrived in Gainesville, to the time I left. A SWOT analysis looks at the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the program. I believe that this is very important to look back at the things we did and analyze everything. Some people say that if you do not learn from history, you are condemned to repeat it. The good, the bad, the wish I would ofs, the wish I could ofs, the glad we dids , and the glad we didn’ts. Throughout the years what areas of coaching and training were we excited about, and what areas were we not so excited about?<br />
<br />
I then started to formulate a general plan of attack for the Ohio State program. Although my job title was different, Asst AD of Football Sports Performance, I was still going to set up and formulate the strength and conditioning plan. My responsibilities were dramatically increased and I had to really be organized going forward. Some of my responsibilities are to help Coach Meyer with the performance areas of the football program. We have a performance team that is comprised of athletic trainers, nutritionists, equipment personnel, academic advisors, personal development staff, and operations. I help direct these areas in terms of how the head coach wants information and also how we can make all the areas more improved.<br />
<br />
I also started to look back into my files and certain research. I just wanted to be on top of everything. I wanted the t’s to be crossed and the i’s to be dotted. Over the years as a coach, you collect a great deal of STUFF. Some of that stuff is very valuable, some not so much. I like to look back at each year of setting a program up and see what we did. I also like to look at each situation and look to justify why, what, & how we did things. Every situation is different, every academic calendar a little different, every school has different expectations, so I thought it was a good idea to look back.<br />
<br />
I also spent a lot of time reading and investigating various coaching and training, motivation, leadership, team chemistry, anything that dealt with building a team. Although you never get away from your general philosophy of doing things, you just want to make sure that you’re on the right track. From time to time, new research findings can definitely influence some of the training. I also talked to as many colleagues as I could. Just the freshness of seeing and hearing what others are doing will help justify what you are going to do. The bottom line is results. As long as positive results are happening then you are on the right track.<br />
<br />
I also kind of did a self-evaluation or more so “self-check”. Where I was as a person, coach, and teacher? What things I could do to improve myself in all areas? I then started to formulate the plan, first in my thoughts, and then I would jot some stuff down on paper.<br />
<br />
All the areas of the strength program were going to be dissected and evaluated. Find out where we were, and what was the best case scenario for facilities, equipment, staffing, travel, support staff, etc.<br />
<br />
To be continued, more from Mickey Marotti coming soon.

<b>MRSA - The Silent Killer</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have attached some e-mail articles for you regarding this 'superbug'. These articles give you some idea of the extent that this and staph infections can be of serious consequences. I hope you will read these and make your athletes and students aware of the related information so they are able to protect themselves from this potential killer. MRSA is all to often not talked about as a problem, because of the fear factor. Make your students, athletes and parents aware of the signs and symptoms. This can go to a full blown issue within hours. Education is the key!</div>

I was listening to a Coach on a recent TV Pre-Season Preview and heard "<span style="color: red;">Don't </span>do this, and shortly after, <span style="color: red;">Don't</span> do That!"<br />
1. <strong>Coaching is teaching at it's Best</strong>! Leave the negative reinforcement to others!<br />
2. Coach what <strong>TO</strong> do, not what <strong>NOT</strong> to do. Great coaches use positive imagery to create positive memory connections!<br />
Examples - make the play - get your mind right!<br />
3. Coach with content. Be specific as to what part of the fundamental the player is not getting.<br />
Examples - Face up, move the right foot 6 inches, or eyes on the ball and look it in to the tuckaway!<br />

Triceps area - Focus on contraction of all three heads: inner, outer, & medial heads of the tricep!</div><br /><br /><div align="left">B. Neck Area - Static contraction of the neck while doing tricep extensions - Use your power center (i.e. core) to stabilize!</div><br /><br /><div align="left">C. Total Body Activation - Drive through the inside of the heels - keep the scapulas retracted - push through the stomach - pull through the glutes!</div><br /><br /><div align="left"><strong>2. Actions</strong> - Contract as hard as possible (regardless of the resistance) </div><br /><br /><div align="left">A. Static - Hold neck back - scapulas back - tricep extension - thumbs in - thumbs out - palms up - rotate thumbs</div><br /><br /><div align="left">B. Rotate head, neck, & torso to the right and left - tricep extend - thumbs in, thumbs out, thumbs rotating </div><br /><br /><div align="left">C.

The simple answer is not a product, but FOOD DISCIPLINE in addition to your workouts is the best way to gain muscle. To do the following is hard, but will give you results!<br /><br />1st Step – Count your calories for a couple of normal days. Most drugstores have inexpensive calorie counting books, or there is a free app on the Iphone that does it too.<br /><br />2nd Step – Count your meals. To maintain a healthy metabolism it is recommended to have 5-6 small, yet balanced meals per day<br /><br />3rd Step - Evaluate your diet, making sure that each meal is balanced (carbs, protein, etc.) Your body needs balanced intake to get the most out of the fuel that you take in. (Dr Sears Book on the Zone Diet is excellent)<br /><br />4th Step - Tweak your diet. Carbo load earlier in the day, focus on proteins later in the day.<br /><br />Food is inexpensive and tasty compared to all of the supplements that are out there.
