2013 International Society of Biomechanics in Sports (ISBS) annual conference: closing ceremony

At the closing ceremony, Dr. Kimi Sato presented information for next year’s ISBS conference.  On July 12-16 in 2014, ETSU will host the ISBS conference.  This is a first time that the ISBS conference is coming to southeast region of the United States.  At this year’s closing ceremony, the ISBS flag was passed onto Dr. Sato, a chair of organizing committee for 2014 ISBS conference.  “It is very exciting to host this conference next year in Johnson City to gain recognition of our University and program” said Dr. Sato. “I have been attending ISBS conference since 2005, and this is such a honor to have ISBS flag in the CESSCE office”.

The website for 2014 ISBS conference is now up and running.





 

2013 International Society of Biomechanics in Sports (ISBS) annual conference: presentations

Dr. Mike Stone was one of the invited speakers for this year’s ISBS conference for applied sessions.  His topic was “Power Development” followed by Dr. Andy Ho from Chinese Culture University on his “Anaerobic training for wrestlers”.  The session was well-attended to understand the “steps” to develop power production.

Our PhD student, Chris Bailey presented two studies in oral sessions. First presentation was “Frontal plane knee displacement in barbell back squat” and second presentation was “Predicting offensive performance in collegiate baseball players using isometric force production characteristics”.  Chris was also one of six recipients for this year’s student travel award by the organizing committee.

Both did a great job representing CESSCE.

The CESSCE Trip to Taiwan- Day 2

Visit to Chinese Culture University hosted by Dr. Jasson Chiang

We visited the Chinese Culture University to meet with Dr. Jasson Chiang and Dr. Andy Ho. Their campus is located on a mountain where we were able to see the city of Taipei.  It was one of the most amazing views from any University campus that we have ever visited.  We toured their new athletic facility which houses the physiology and biomechanics lab along with weight room where the area faces the city of Taipei.  In the meeting, Dr. Chiang expressed the interest of future collaboration with CESSCE to enhance the quality of strength & conditioning and coach education for his Department.  Dr. Chiang and his research colleagues plan to visit ETSU next summer.

We then visited the National Palace Museum to see some of the most revered Chinese artifacts ranging from the Middle to late Neolithic age (7000-2000 B.C.E.) through the Quing Dynasty (1644-1911).

Internship Series: Ashley Kavanaugh

Earlier this summer I had the pleasure of spending a week at the University of Kansas as an intern with the Jayhawk’s Strength and Conditioning Department.  While there I was able to assist with the day-to-day operation of the Anderson Strength Center, a 42,000-square-foot facility containing over 25 platforms and racks with accompanying free weights and a 50-yard turf field.  More importantly I was able to meet and “talk shop” with one of the most respected collegiate basketball strength and conditioning coaches in nation, Andrea Hudy, as well as with several experienced up-and-coming coaches on Andrea’s staff.

One of these coaches was Glenn Cain, Jr., an assistant S&C coach and coordinator of the internship program.  Coach Cain, a former Kansas intern, led weekly classes on the application of scientific training principles, providing valuable practical experience for the interns.  I was also able to have detailed strength and conditioning discussions with Patricia Dietz (assistant S&C coach for women’s basketball, soccer, and softball).  In addition to working as a full-time coach, Patricia is pursuing her doctorate in exercise/sport physiology under Dr. Andrew Fry.  She also works with various high school athletes teaching fundamental movement and weightlifting skills.  At the end of my week at KU Glenn and Patricia were able to provide me with some valuable coaching feedback.

Other coaches and support staff I was able to interact with included, Luke Bradford (assistant S&C coach for baseball and women’s volleyball), Joe Staub (assistant S&C coach for men’s and women’s track and field and men’s and women’s golf), and Aaron Carbuhn (sport nutritionist for all athletes).  For several years now I have been particularly interested in how other S&C coaches integrate their program with sport coaches.  Luke and Joe were able to discuss a few approaches, including a yearly planning meeting and weekly updates with sport coaches regarding their annual plans.  I was very impressed by the team approach used by the staff at Kansas.  All assistants were on hand to help coach men’s and women’s basketball sessions, displaying a commitment to each athlete’s development and ensuring a safe training environment.

Coach Hudy, or just “Hudy” as she is best known around the university and the surrounding community, is the Assistant Athletic Director for Sport Performance at Kansas, and serves as the strength coach for men’s and women’s basketball.  Throughout the week I was able to observe Hudy’s interactions with her athlete’s and staff.  My first encounter with Hudy came on a Monday morning at 6:00am during women’s basketball conditioning and weight training sessions.  I noticed one thing about Hudy immediately, and that was her coaching presence.  Throughout the week we were able to have several conversations about periodization, networking within the field, and coaching philosophies.  I was even able to train with Hudy when she decided to do the conditioning session that women’s basketball performed earlier that morning.  The session consisted of running the stairs of the football stadium while wearing a weighted vest.  Although I firmly believe in having done everything you prescribe to your athletes, I later regretted that decision when I woke up the following morning.

As I continued to observe Hudy throughout the week it became very clear that the athlete’s viewed her with high regard, and trusted that she was going to make them a better athlete.  As a female strength coach I found this notable, so I asked her, “How are you able to gain the trust of your athletes (and coaches)?” She responded, “I don’t yell, I motivate…all you have to do is show them you care…pick them up instead of putting down… and they’ll do anything for you.”  This impression, as well as several other experiences, are lessons I truly appreciate and will value for the rest of my coaching career.

Taiwanese Delegates from Integration Sport Visits Center of Excellence

From July 31 - August 13, 2012, the ETSU Olympic Training Site had a group of special guests from the Integration Sport professional tennis company from Taiwan. The group members were Jeff (CEO), Chris (tennis coach), Andy & Pitt (S&C coaches) and one player, Ian. Integration Sport has had superstars such as Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf, and Marat Safin visit for exhibition games and events in Taiwan over the past two years.

The members of Integration Sport were zealous to learn new knowledge and help their athletes perform better. During their two-week visit, they went through a series of Sport Science lectures, including “Building a Coaching System,” “Planning and Monitoring,” and “Training Process”. Dr. Mike Stone, Dr. Meg Stone, and our PhD & Master’s students taught those lectures.





 

The following is an interview before they went back to Taiwan.

Question 1: What were your expectations before this trip?

Jeff

Before I came here, I thought this might be another trip for acquiring more S&C knowledge. In just two days at ETSU, I found I was totally wrong. Of course, we learned a lot of theoretical and hands on knowledge that was valuable, but the most important thing is that the ETSU Olympic Training Center broadened my horizon. How do we build our coaching system? How do we monitor our training and integrate sport science knowledge into our program? The answer for those questions needs a “big picture”, an overall concept, and this is even more important as a team manager, head coach, or CEO like me. This trip already gave me this “big picture”.

Chris

The only thing I knew before this trip was that one of our friends (Mark Chiang) is studying for his PhD at ETSU, and ETSU just became a USOC designed Olympic Training Center. However, I was impressed after just the first day at ETSU by those high quality facilities and brilliant people. I think the key for their success is their determination in pursuing sport science and coaches education. We are just nobodies, but they still did everything they could do to help and share with us. We are all very appreciative of this.

Andy:

As S&C coaches, we always need to be good models for our athletes. I practiced and prepared for the hands on weightlifting session after I was told we would take part in it. Surprisingly, coaches Tim & Christian taught us from a very lightweight (20KG bar) focusing on a perfect technique that was not easy to execute perfectly. All of a sudden, I realized that was the missing part of my learning.

Pitt:

Because I am studying for my Master’s degree, I know keeping an open mind is extremely important to learn new skills. I tried to make myself an empty cup before this trip, and yes, I learned far more than I expected in every aspect.

Ian:

I have never been to a country with such amazing training facilities and brilliant people. It was too bad that my English speaking ability is limited because I couldn’t communicate perfectly with professors here; however, I still felt their passion to sport science and coach education.





Question 2: What did you learn from these two weeks? And what will you do after getting back to Taiwan?

Jeff:

In the past two weeks, I can’t remember how many times I said “amazing”. One instance was when we went to UT to visit their giant stadium [Neyland Stadium] (it can fit over 100,000 people.) It is hard to find a word to describe how good that kind of atmosphere is for someone. The other day, Coach Stone showed us the ETSU athletic department, from strength & conditioning to sport medicine to social media, and every unit is so professional. Most important is the combination of the Center of Excellence, athletic department, and academic program (PhD & Master’s degrees). I strongly believe that is the reason why ETSU athletics can be so successful.



Following the first question, the number one priority when I get back to Taiwan is to build our own coaching system and spread this idea. What are the responsibilities for the head coach, the associate or assistant coaches? Things like that may be clear in the U.S., but they are still fuzzy in Taiwan. Secondly, I need to integrate more professionals to help us. My role model is Coach Stone (director of the Center of Excellence for Sport Science and Coaches Education); she uses her coaching background to integrate skills from the SPEG (Sport Performance Enhancement Group). This is not only what I will pursue, but is also what we need more of in Taiwan. I have invited the Center of Excellence staff to Taiwan next year; where we will hold the First Annual Sport Science and Coaches Education Conference in Taipei. We all are so excited to see coaches and scholars attend our conference and to learn from those intelligent people from ETSU.

Chris:

In the past two weeks, I experienced a whole new learning process. Professionalism is their attitude, but execution and hard work is their commitment to sport. This kind of spirit should be respected. The strong connection between sport coaches and sport scientists (S&C coaches) really impressed me; our team already started this model. We know as long as we follow the good model we see here, our athletes can perform at their highest ability.

Andy:

I think the most valuable knowledge I learned in the past two weeks is how to apply periodization training. To be honest, even when I passed the CSCS exam, periodization was still an ambiguous concept for me. However, after lectures from Howard (ETSU men’s soccer sport scientist) and Caleb (ETSU men’s tennis S&C coach), the periodization is not just a “concept” for me anymore. It’s a process which combines all the training principles into one concept! Because they provide a good model for us, our SPEG has already started our tennis periodization program (combining skills & conditioning.)

Pitt:

Because the prevalence of the health-fitness industry in Taiwan, many fitness instructors think they are strength & conditioning coaches and they train athletes with fitness techniques only (using a Swiss ball, kettle bell, or cycling, for example). Since there is a fine line of the two professions, it is sometimes hard for people to tell which is true, especially when they are not well educated in these areas. After two weeks of learning, I know how important each of the training principles are (especially variation) and how dangerous only using fitness training is to training athletes. There is now a huge distinction between the two in my mind. It is my responsibility to educate people who are interested in the S&C field on how to differentiate fitness and sport science (and strength and conditioning) when I get back to Taiwan.

Ian:

What impressed me the most was the part of Coach Stone’s lecture when she said, “be a student of your sport!” All the sudden I knew that is exactly what I need to do if my ultimate goal is to become a top professional tennis player. I will work as hard as I can to complete the coaches’ requests because I know the programs are designed with scientific precision and a lot of coaches’ effort. I hope I can visit here again in the near future when I am more fluent in English.





The Centre of Excellence for Sport Science and Coach Education would like to thank everyone from Integration Sport for visiting us. We learned from them also! PhD student Mark Chiang also deserves special credit for organizing this trip and for arranging this interview.
