Synopsis

“A must-read!” — Derek Johnson, Director of Pitching, Cincinnati Reds, MLB
		 
What is different about teams that are consistent winners, those teams that always seem to bring their A-game when the stakes are highest? A positive team culture is likely the answer.
		 
We’ve all seen it happen: the team that looks great on paper, or has a league-leading regular season, but can’t pull out the wins or give their top performance when everything is on the line. As coaches and sport leaders what can we do to ensure that we maximize the potential of our athletes and teams so they are successful and continue to enjoy sport? How do we ensure that we coach in a way that benefits the team and remains respectful of the individual?
		 
In their first book together, André Lachance and Jean François Ménard offer tangible and practical strategies to help sport leaders create efficient group dynamics, build team culture, and help a group of athletes to gel. Using the periodic table of elements to organize concepts into a modular framework, the authors have created a powerful new resource for coaches in every sport.
		 
Building successful teams is not as simple as picking the best players: there are specific methods that coaches and leaders use to make their messages stick and to bring out the best in everyone within a group. Consistently, the healthiest team cultures have a huge impact on performance. That is the power of Team Chemistry.

Strength and Power Training -...

Zane Ryder

This bundle consists of the following titles:
- Powerlifting Prowess: Powerlifting is a strength sport that focuses on three core lifts: the squat, bench press, and deadlift. These exercises form the foundation of powerlifting and test an athlete's maximal strength in a single, controlled repetition. Unlike bodybuilding, which emphasizes aesthetics, powerlifting prioritizes pure strength and the ability to lift as much weight as possible in each of the three lifts.
- Strength Training for Runners: Strength training has long been overlooked by runners who often focus solely on logging miles and improving endurance. However, integrating strength training into a runner’s routine is essential for enhancing performance, building resilience, and reducing the risk of injuries. This chapter introduces the foundational concepts of strength training specifically tailored for runners, highlighting why it is a vital component of a well-rounded training program.
- Strength Training for Seniors: As we grow older, our bodies naturally lose muscle mass in a process known as sarcopenia. This gradual decline can affect strength, balance, and overall functionality. However, regular strength training can slow, and in some cases, even reverse these effects. By engaging in a consistent exercise routine, seniors can improve their ability to perform everyday activities such as climbing stairs, carrying groceries, or simply getting out of a chair.
- Strength Training Without Weights: The benefits of bodyweight training extend far beyond convenience. For one, it allows for a wide range of exercises targeting every major muscle group. By manipulating the angle, speed, and range of motion of each movement, you can create a workout that challenges your muscles in different ways, promoting growth and strength.
