The Strength & Conditioning Clinic
It's strength clinic time and there are several reasons to get to one. For one, I've never been to a clinic where I did not return home with something newly added to my coaching toolbox. Fresh content! For example:
- Some new techniques and coaching points to use when coaching your athletes.
- Or, another way to incorporate certain exercises or lifts into the scope of the training program.
- Are my athletes too young to try that lift and will it require too much time and coaching to stir it into the entire training program?
- Should our program be a three day per week workout or a four day split? What's Coach Brady Collins' philosophy at Cincinnati Bearcats?
- Where should we place our Pit Shark® for optimal use?
- What are the pros and cons of choosing a POWERLIFT rack as opposed to the Sorinex model?
- How can I educate the entire coaching staff at our school so that we're on the same page?
- What is Coach Kenn's purpose for coaching the athletic position?
-
Our players need more toughness! How does Coach Marotti instill this with his Buckeyes/
- Yoga??? It's definitely a piece that needs to be incorporated into our program. How can we add this into our workouts?
- How does Coach Ken Mannie develop his Spartan "earned, never given" philosophy?
- My star running back plays basketball AND baseball. Now what???
- Our athletic director approved our new TRX TRAINING order. How does Coach Matusz choose which TRX exercise to use on a given day?
- I never want to move those racks and machines again!!! Never again! What makes REGUPOL ® Sports Flooring by SPECATHLETIC the best?
- How often does Coach Dave Lawson suggest that our players squat HEAVY?
- What are the features that make TEAMBUILDR®, the premier online strength & conditioning software, a terrific concept for training evaluation, standard and goal setting & athlete performance tracking.
- How did strength coach Dr.Ted Lambrinides prepare a young Kentucky Wildcats Basketball squad for their NCAA National Championship run in 2012, a team that include, now NBA superstar Anthony Davis?
- Basketball is a long season, how does long time veteran strength coach Shaun Brown keep his West Virginia Mountaineers Basketball squad
strong, yet fresh during the season?
- What's Coach Al Johnson's advice on strength training during fall camp?
- How does WVU Mountaineers Head Football Strength Coach Mike Joseph design his program when taking into account the recovery that's necessary between workout?

ASAP Strength Podcast with Cincinnati Bengals (ret) Strength Coach Kim Wood
Coach Kim Wood spent thirty years as a coach with the Cincinnati Bengals. He was hired by the venerable founder and first coach of the @Bengals Paul Brown. Keep in mind that this was during the Bengals' hey day, as the team appeared in two Super Bowls, one of which San Francisco 49er stars Joe Montana and Jerry Rice led hall of fame type performances in the final minutes to take the win out of the grasp of the Cincinnati Bengals, quarterback Boomer Esiason and their head coach Sam Wyche. That left Kim Wood to reload the weightroom jukebox at the "spartan" Spinney Field weightroom and rearrange the power racks, wooden jerk boxes and Hammer Strength machines.
Coach Wood has been a regular guest for the ASAP Strength Podcast features and his most popular podcasts (all-time) PLAY tally continue to keep a narrow lead over Alex Marvez, SiriusXM NFL Radio host and Pro Football Hall of Fame voter. Kind of a big deal!
In this podcast, Kim Wood reminisces about the former Bengals coach Sam Wyche who recently succumbed to complications with melanoma.
We also discuss:
- the 2020 NCAA College Football National Championship match-up
- The NFL Play-offs
- the late Bengal head coach Sam Wyche
- the upcoming 2020 Michigan State Strength & Conditioning Clinic
- His son, John Wood will be a speaker/presenter at the Michigan State Strength Clinic, his Iron League, Oldtime Strongman Functional Hand Strength websites

Ohio State 2019 Football Strength Clinic Wrap-up
Last month's Ohio State was a definite success as the college sports powerhouse opened up the doors to their brand new Gene Smith Strength & Conditioning Center for the 2019 edition of their strength and conditioning clinic. Strength Coach and Clinic Director Jeff Uhlenhake was quite pleased with the turnout of 165 coaches, trainers and therapists in attendance. With Ohio State personnel, clinic speakers, vendors and of course ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power all in attendance, over two-hundred people were able to take in the strength training atmosphere where the Buckeyes hone their crafts. Here's the complete photo update and some more videos, too

Michigan State Football Strength Clinic Wrap-up
Once again, Michigan State does not disappoint. The MSU Spartans' 12th Annual Strength & Conditioning Clinic is a testament to the success and longevity of their head football coach Mark Dantonio. When Dantonio arrived back in 2006, following a successful stint at the Cincinnati Bearcats, he made personnel moves that retained head strength coach Ken Mannie and assistant Mike Vorkapich. With that move complete, Mannie and Vorkapich plowed straight ahead and even planned a strength and conditioning seminar to educate coaches, teachers, trainers and physical therapists on the intricacies of designing and implementing football and sport strength training programs. As word got out about the first clinic, the wheels began turning to have a second one. A short time ago, the 12th one came to an end and they are certainly going to plan more. In fact, Coach Vorkapich already has a couple speakers inked. The wide array of diverse clinic speakers that share their knowledge with the clinicians is one of the things that make this annual event huge. And, with clinic master of ceremonies, Ted Lambrinides, serving as the point man, things roll very efficiently. Ted has a wealth of information from both academic and field experience disciplines. He's a long time sport scientist who's become one of the leading experts on GPS player tracking data analytics for both NFL and Power Five collegiate teams. Dr. Ted, who completed his PhD work at Ohio State back in the 1980s, has become an multi-year cornerstone as emcee at the clinic, operating with smooth efficiency and is always available to share information during the breaks.
This year, Mike Vorkapich brought in a diverse group of high impact speakers. For one, Reno Saccoccia, spoke on developing a championship program, which he's done at Steubenville (Ohio) High School Big Red Football. The "Big Red" are really BIG in Ohio High School Football where Reno has built a perennial powerhouse program. Coach Saccoccia also happens to be Coach Ken Mannie's brother-in-law, so he probably gets access to plenty of football strength training program tips!
Coach Kevin Yoxall of TCU and Auburn fame, explained about running an ideal summer strength & conditioning program and that type of information is just the kind of thing that many of the clinic attendees wanted to gather.
Then, Bill Foran (Miami Heat), who is a strength and conditioning Hall of Fame inductee, told some interesting stories about his days as Michigan State's first graduate assistant strength coach. After a stint at Washington State, he then experienced some big success at the University of Miami Hurricanes.where he worked under Head Coach Jimmy Johnson. Bill came up with some changes down there, especially with their conditioning tests that . Then, he was courted by the Miami Heat and actually was hired by Billy Cunningham with just a little Wilt Chamberlain influence! He also got to work with their legendary head coach Pat Riley and had plenty of really good stories about his career with the Heat. He also drove home the point on these four things:
- Sleep
- Hydration
- Less Sugar
- Vitamin D
All good stuff! He followed that with some video of the Miami Heat in training.
That lead to the next clinic speaker from the University of Cincinnati, Brady Collins, a spirited and passionate strength coach who had a huge impact on football coach Luke Fickell's 2018 Bearcat 11-2 squad. This team was the surprise turnaround story of college football in 2018 and finished at #23 in the final rankings. Coach Collin's talk centered on his training mantra of 'relentless effort' and how the Bearcats, a team that finished its season with a huge victory over Virginia Tech in the military bowl, go about getting that accomplished. Brady has a good sense of the history of strength training for football and paid homage to the NFL's first strength coach Kim Wood, who saw the trainings' first priority as "to develop the raw material of the body". The Cincinnati Bearcat Director of Football Sports Performance also covered how to maximize and develop player potential and also taught some of the Cincinnati squat protocols and progressions. not a bad year for this knowledgeable. young strength coach.
The final speaker, Caleb Grummet spoke on self discipline and left us with the following thoughts:
1. Fight the good fight
2. Avoid complacency
3.Stay pure and avoid being watered down
4.Always know your WHY
In his closing remarks, Coach Ken Mannie wrapped up the clinic with some thoughts on a word that keeps surfacing by many of the speakers, and that's TRUST. It's a difficult thing to cultivate because a strength and conditioning coach needs a ton of it. Coaches not only need to develop trust with the athletes whom they develop, but they also have to strive everyday to have trust that flourishes among their staff and all of the sport coaches,as well. So, Mannie advised clinic attendees to:
- Learn as much as you can
- Separate yourself from the pack
- Work at your job like it's the only one that you'll ever have
- Love what you're doing
- Get well-versed in technology
- Develop professionalism: mannerisms, expertise, inspire people

ASAP at PURDUE BOILERMAKERS at MICHIGAN STATE SPARTANS Game report and Photo/Video Shoot
Things were looking quite good in East Lansing, Michigan last Saturday! Michigan State Head Football Coach Mark Dantonio rallied his Spartan squad that was slightly depleted by a bunch of injuries that included their star starting quarterback, Brian Lewerke. along with a big time time wide receiver in Felton Davis. among other notables, prior to this contest against the Purdue Boilermakers. So, right before the United State Air Force Color Guard and Spartan Marching Band performed the National Anthem, I asked Spartan Head Strength & Conditioning Coach Ken Mannie about what seemed as grim prospects for the game, especially at the quarterback position. Coach Mannie, who is in his 24th season with the Spartans, personifies the utmost of unflappable of personalities. He answered my question: "Quarterbacks???? We've got three of them Eddie. We've got quarterbacks"
And he wasn't kidding! Redshirt freshman Rocky Lombardi, a 6'3" 218 pound monster with the longish bleach blonde hair trotted out onto the field and calmed all Spartan fan nerves. This dude is a multi sport athlete who, it appears, can do it all. He's a former Iowa high school wrestler who placed 2nd in the state championships there. And,he played baseball there and did track and field, too. In fact, Coach Dantonio stated in the post game presser that if you'd go out on the golf course with Rocky, he'll basically blast the ball to the green.
Back to coach Mannie. This veteran coach knows how to prepare his teams for Saturdays in the fall. A huge point of emphasis in his storied strength and conditioning program is his "Spartan 4th Quarter Program", which is definitely a bonus in today's Big 10. Mannie's program is also the perfect complement to Coach Mark Dantonio's brilliant defensive force that's one of the stingiest in all of NCAA college football. In fact, the Spartan Defense is currently ranked #1 in FBS in rushing defense.... allowing only 77.4 yards per game. As good as Rocky performed against the Boilermakers, Dantonio's 'D" kept Purdue in check for most of the game. Purdue was coming off a huge defeat vs Ohio State while on a four game win streak. Yet, MSU always seemed to have an answer for their opponent's explosive offense and propelled Dantonio's win streak over Purdue to eight straight wins, as he's never lost to the team during his tenure in East Lansing. It was the 699th win for Michigan State football.
By the way, if you're interested in learning more about this strength and conditioning program, mark your calendar for February 8/9th 2019 and attend their annual clinic. ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power has attended over 100 strength training clinics over the years from coast to coast. This is THE clinic and Associate Strength Coach Mike Vorkapich directs the clinic and he's got it down to a science. Sports Science. Stay tuned in to ASAP as we are one of the major promoters to this event.
