Q. How did you arrive at The Pro Sports Tech System?
Marv: I had the unique
opportunity to visit hundreds of schools and access their athletes.
I was seeing that the schools with little or no weight training
programs had the better athletes. Again I was hearing the athletes
remark that their speed, agility and quickness were deteriorating.
Athletes that held the school records for bench press, squats, power
lifting, etc., were not the outstanding athletes. I was seeing clearly
that the current systems were not working.
In addition, athletes who
had injured themselves and had rehabilitation work that included
strength and muscles of the joint and in multiple ranges of motion
were better after their rehab. I've spent my life researching and
experimenting with training systems. The current systems are based
on tradition, not science. They are antiquated and non-biogressive
and compromise rather than enhance athleticism. Our program arose
out of a need to create a training system that worked collaborating
with Edythe he added critical ingredients to our successful training
recipe.
Edythe: I spent years investigating
and experimenting with exercise programs and movement searching
for a system that would enable patients to maintain corrections
made through Chiropractic treatment and to prevent injury. I wasn't
satisfied with what I found. When Marv and I began working together
our diverse professional backgrounds enabled us to develop a system
that runs the range from restoring or creating balance in the body
to enhancement training. We can take a postoperative athlete and
restore and surpass their previous athletic athletes. Non-injured
athletes need to have muscle balance restored or established following
no, or improper training and the stresses of their sport before
beginning their enhancement training. The Pro Sport Tech System
has exceeded what seemed possible, not only do the exercise maintain
corrections, they are also corrective. In addition we are overwhelmed
by how quickly we see results. Athleticism is improved in as little
as one workout.
In sum, the Pro Sport Tech
System evolved out of a need for an efficient effective way to Improve
athleticism, prevent injury and provide career longevity.
Q. How do my food choices
impact my sports performance?
How and what you eat is
number one. If we had to choose between proper eating and training,
we want to you to eat correctly. Correct eating includes the proper
ratio of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. It also includes the
optimal form of each of these groups. We advocate organic produce
whenever possible, as well as the absence of chemicals, additives,
coloring agents and preservatives. Excluding all pastas, breads,
crackers, juices sodas and processed sugar containing foods and
including large quantities of fruits, vegetables, select beans and
grains is necessary. Proteins should be lean and varied and never
overcooked. Optimal fats include olive oil, avocado and lesser quantities
of nuts and nut butters. Hydrogenated fats and oils should be avoided
at all costs. All meals and snacks must include carbohydrates, protein
and fat in the proper ratio and depending on your workout/athletic
program/individual body type you may need to eat every 1 1/2 - 3
1/2 hours. The proper food intake will reduce body fat if needed,
increase lean muscle mass, regulate your endocrine system optimizing
performance, mental attitude, focus, concentration, energy and sense
of well being.
A. A successful food plan
can accomplish what many athletes on steroid enhancement and growth
hormone achieves without the dangerous risks. In short you need
maximally stress the body need, take it beyond in a specific, traditionally
based regiment show day-to-day, strategically stress the body. What
are some of the "Keep strategy" in training? Maximum strength recruitment
techniques strategic system verifying resistance types. To include
maximal strength recruitment, and maximum speed recruitment concentric,
isometric throughout a full range of little or no strength increase
will result from light or moderate resistance.
B. To get fast you need
plyometrics, nervous system, isometric and essential training.
C. To train for sport you
need to train the muscles on stretch, The proper amount of flexibility
is essential (not too much, not too little).
D. Sprint intervals (85%
max effort for 17 sec.) not cross county training is the appropriate
training for anaerobic sports which include baseball, basketball,
soccer, football, tennis, etc., Cross country and distance running
will compromise quickness, acceleration, speed and power.
E. Pyometrics are great
only after proper development of an athletic base, foot development,
cushioning. Upper and lower body coordination, eccentric muscle
development, joint stability, and flexibility. Pylometrics must
be of quality, appropriate frequency and done on a suitable surface
with suitable shoes. Pylometrics at low intensity or overextended
periods of time yield little if any results.
F. Under no circumstances
should you be running or jumping or concrete surfaces or stadium
steps.
G. With few exceptions
you want to avoid barbells and weight training machines.
H. Proper sequencing of
training components is essential for optimal training efficiency
combo lock analogy and maximal athletic performance. There is definite
order preparedness for sport ----.
I. Daily training of the
feet and hands is critical to athletic performance.
J. Microcomuscle and core
stability development is the foundation for sports mastery, power
and speed.
K. Foundation for sports
movement patterns, joint stability, alignment, coordination and
integration of upper and lower body must be developed. In addition,
foundations for timing, hitting and kicking are essential.
