In the early stage of my coaching career I was exposed to the belief that studying, internalizing and implementing the latest trends in training was an optimal path for improving coaching competency. During my first decade of professional development (the 1980s) I embraced this paradigm. However as I entered my second decade (the 1990s) I […]

A young adult was watching a physical coach performing a pre-training static stretch with a large group of young athletes. They turned to those around them and said: “You know they are wasting their time!?” The coach whose professional implementation judgments they were calling into question was myself. The year was 2018. Which type of […]

Through out this article series I have sought to provide a respectful review of ‘evidence’, in answering the common thread of responses to the concepts and innovations in training I have shared during the last four decades. In Part 1 of this article series I shared my experiences in the field of paradigm shifting and […]

In Part 1 of this article series I shared my experiences in the field of paradigm shifting and some of the experiences I had. Not quite as fatal as the experience that the 19thCentury Hungarian doctor Ignaz Semmelweis paid. However still an eventful experience. In Part 2 of this article series I discussed the meaning […]

In Part 1 I spoke about the price some paradigm shifters such as Ignaz Semmelweis, the Hungarian doctor who dared to suggest that doctors were killing their patients by failing to wash their hands, paid. Without suggesting I was in his league, I gave numerous examples of how people had responded to my paradigm challenging […]

In the 1840s a Hungarian doctor by the name of Ignaz Semmelweis made the audacious suggestion that doctors were causing the death of their patients because they were not washing their hands before coming into contact with the patient. The doctors didn’t like this suggestion. After all, they were ‘gentleman’, and ‘gentleman’s hands were always […]
