Summary: In the 70th episode of the Historic Performance Podcast, I chat with Matthew Van Dyke. Matt is the Associate Director of Sports Performance at the University of Denver. Recently, Matthew wrote and published an excellent performance manual titled the Triphasic Lacrosse Manual, which is available on Cal Dietz's website, XL Athlete. Throughout the manual, Matthew discusses how he has utilized Cal's triphasic principles with his lacrosse athletes, how he creates a needs analysis by breaking down the sport into six distinct physical performance qualities, and how he subsequently uses that needs analysis to create a periodized program using block training. In this episode, Matt talks about the catalyst for his latest triphasic manual, the glute layering injury mitigation model, reflexive performance resets, multi-dimensional training and the importance of residual training effects when creating a program.
