Video Details
Managing a class effectively, especially in any physical training like strength and conditioning, is key to fostering a positive experience for everyone involved. This tutorial emphasizes the importance of maintaining proper technique over sheer volume of reps. Sacrificing technique not only reduces the quality of training but can also lead to injuries. For beginners, responsiveness to their skill level is crucial. Gradually introducing weight and ensuring safety creates an environment where everyone can thrive and improve on their terms.
When running your classes, planning is essential. While experience can help when improvising, a well-thought-out structure will lead to more engaging and productive sessions. Encouraging collaboration rather than competition among students not only fosters a supportive atmosphere but also enhances individual growth. In movement disciplines like parkour, where the focus is on personal improvement, working together towards common goals is far more beneficial than allowing competitive dynamics to creep in, which can sometimes leave some students feeling excluded.
To implement this collaborative approach, consider organizing your class into small groups for various activities. One effective exercise could involve three students working together in a ten-minute hanging challenge, where they take turns hanging on a wall while their teammates cheer them on. It helps build not just physical strength but also camaraderie. Another idea is to pair students for different exercises, allowing one to rest while the other works and vice versa. This approach encourages everyone to support each other while focusing on improving their skills, ultimately making the training experience more enjoyable and rewarding for all.
Highlights:
- Prioritize perfect technique over the number of repetitions to prevent injuries and improve outcomes.
- Implement a structured plan for your classes to enhance engagement and motivation.
- Foster collaboration by organizing group activities that focus on shared goals rather than competition.

0this is coaching video number two we're2.58going to talk a little bit more about4.589how you're going to manage your class6.629and how you manage upper body pulling8.849strength and conditioning and a little11.639bit about collaborative work rather than15competitive work we've mentioned this in17.88the previous video but ensure that20.49always when you're doing stuff your22.949technique is never sacrificed for having26.849to do reps or more work if the technique29.699is being sacrificed then you have to32.46stop and it means that you've reached34.68your limit of work there's no point in37.829doing things that are less than perfect40.969because it just means that you're either43.41injuring yourself you're gonna hurt45.27yourself or you're just trying to do48.09more for the sake of just doing more you51.36can get a lot more benefit out of52.89resting and then going back and doing55.469more work but with perfect technique58.07also make sure that whatever you're60.93doing especially with your students you62.879keep safe now this can have lots of66different ideas behind what safe means68.1but it you know one thing to keep in71.34mind is the fact that if you have a73.11brand brand new beginner you don't want75.57to throw them on the bar and make you78.06know give them a ludicrous amount of79.74weight because you don't know what their81.509ability level is so therefore you know84.54you can injure them quite a lot give86.49them a very gradual scale we mentioned89.13this in the last video and that way it91.53will remain safe something that a lot of94.92coaches do not do and that is plan98.09ensure that you're planning your class100.59is planning this fundamental the kind of103.53is this idea that you know winging it106.29and you know you've done this a lot and108.84you're experienced that you know kind of110.729holds you in good stead and that's fine113.88but if you plan I guarantee that your117.509classes and your session especially with119.88things like conditioning and strength121.829work is gonna make your class as much125.28much better if you've thought about how128.849you're going to motivate your students130.44then it's just going to make it a lot132.959more enjoy134.06moving into the main part of this now137.54I'm sure that there are going to be a140.579lot of other disciplines and sports that143.79won't agree with this but this is coming146.7from a parkour background and a movement149.28based background and that is that you153.329want to make sure that your classes are156.569collaborative and cooperative not160.909competitive now the reason that I'm164.609saying this is because if you start166.769introducing competition into your169.98classes and make it competitive you are173.25gonna alienate some people and the176.04reason it's gonna alienate those people177.9is because they don't not everybody180.599wants to compete and in fact a lot of182.579people that come to movement classes and186.209parkour classes they're not interested188.939in having to compete against others191.069they're more interested in how they are194.67able to move and how they can increase196.98their ability not have to compare200.31themselves against someone else or have202.169other people compare what they can do204.599against them so competitive is not a208.889great way of training in for classes for212.489this kind of stuff think more about214.409being collaborative and cooperative so217.26you are helping each other and you're219.09going towards common goals rather than221.579competing now I understand that there224.129are a lot of disciplines that are226.019competitive and this is absolutely fine229.68for them and that's what more what their231.87discipline is focused on that's234.54perfectly fine but for the type of236.849training that I do and for movement and240.959parkour based stuff we try to get away243.449from the competitive stuff because a lot246.599of other people do it and we prefer to249.12try to incorporate everybody and make it253.109a lot more collaborative and255.54incorporative so another way we258.209mentioned in the last video but another259.949way that you can kind of make it261.959collaborative is by doing group work now265.02when you do group work you don't267.1have to incorporate the entire group as269.23one single group you can have smaller271.24teams of people and they're the kind of276.27idea would be for the teams to try to279.91make sure that they are accomplishing a282.52goal so something that we do in classes285.85occasionally is if they are doing288.69hanging on the side of the wall so it's290.98a lot of this pulling action again and293.65it's more towards an endurance side of296.17stuff so you would be you'd get one298.96person hanging on the side of a wall in301.18groups of three so out of the three one303.97person against on the war and they306.31cannot come off unless one of their308.68other teammates it gets on to the wall310.99and they have to do that for ten minutes314.05so you can spend as much time as you316.75like on the wall so you can spend two319.45minutes usually towards at the beginning321.76the time is longer but you know you324.46spend a minute on the on the wall and326.68then you can switch and have a rest and328.66somebody else in your team would be then330.97taking over but you have to make sure333.64that someone has to get on before you335.74get off now obviously when it gets to338.68the close towards like the ten minute340.69mark and put that amount of time you343.39spend the Lord is gonna reduce down to345.25like ten second so you spend ten seconds347.5on the wall your teammate gets up you349.54get off you rest and then the next351.1teammate gets on the other person gets353.17off and essentially all it's doing is355.39the groups are having the goal of a ten358.66minute hang group challenge with you361.9know in triples and it's usually a lot364.54of fun it works really well and366.07everybody has this kind of group kind of369.91vibe to them all because they've all got373.03this common goal and they're working374.98together they get to rest and you know377.62and then they get to work and there's a379.57lot of fun another thing to think about382.66is you could put people in pairs and get385.3them working together so if one you389.26could get one person doing pull-ups and391.68working on the the primary goal of the394.99challenge so for this was strength and397.09conditioning upper body pulling theme398.95the main idea is400.6to do pull-ups but you could be working403.24in teams of two where your partner is407.37having to do perhaps chair position410.98against the wall or a plank position or414.37something not related to pulling and so417.88they're kind of resting but they're419.74resting their arm so in chair position421.87they would be resting their arms ready423.85to do the work but they are still425.68working their legs once you've done your428.59work on the bar it doesn't matter what430.96it is your partner then stands up gets434.14over onto the bar you then have to do436.48the the chair position and you switch438.34places and again this makes this a440.8collaborative work so if one of these443.68things sucks more than the other so if446.05the person doing the chair position is447.7really suffering they want you to hurry450.61up a little bit so that means you've got452.59to be focused and not dawdle455.04because they are suffering if you spend458.11a lot more time on it and similarly the460.51other way so it becomes this kind of462.46collaborative goal to make sure you get465.46all the work done effectively so overall468.73in this video the idea is that we want471.67to try and incorporate everybody within474.4the group no matter their ability and476.79their skill level you're not trying to480.22make things competitive because that482.59will alienate certainly groups and485.05demographics of people that don't want487.69to be competitive unless they are491.92specifically going into classes that494.17they know that are competitive thing495.94that's fine but for this if the idea is499.06strength and conditioning with learning501.58how to do the pull-ups and in the group504.49it's a movement parkour kind of training507.25don't make it competitive

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000 this is coaching video number two we're 2 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,000 going to talk a little bit more about 3 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,000 how you're going to manage your class 4 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:11,000 and how you manage upper body pulling 5 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:14,000 strength and conditioning and a little 6 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:17,000 bit about collaborative work rather than 7 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,000 competitive work we've mentioned this in 8 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,000 the previous video but ensure that 9 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:26,000 always when you're doing stuff your 10 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,000 technique is never sacrificed for having 11 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,000 to do reps or more work if the technique 12 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,000 is being sacrificed then you have to 13 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,000 stop and it means that you've reached 14 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:40,000 your limit of work there's no point in 15 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,000 doing things that are less than perfect 16 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,000 because it just means that you're either 17 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000 injuring yourself you're gonna hurt 18 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:51,000 yourself or you're just trying to do 19 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,000 more for the sake of just doing more you 20 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000 can get a lot more benefit out of 21 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,000 resting and then going back and doing 22 00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,000 more work but with perfect technique 23 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,000 also make sure that whatever you're 24 00:00:60,000 --> 00:01:05,000 doing especially with your students you 25 00:00:62,000 --> 00:01:07,000 keep safe now this can have lots of 26 00:00:66,000 --> 00:01:11,000 different ideas behind what safe means 27 00:00:68,000 --> 00:01:13,000 but it you know one thing to keep in 28 00:00:71,000 --> 00:01:15,000 mind is the fact that if you have a 29 00:00:73,000 --> 00:01:17,000 brand brand new beginner you don't want 30 00:00:75,000 --> 00:01:19,000 to throw them on the bar and make you 31 00:00:78,000 --> 00:01:21,000 know give them a ludicrous amount of 32 00:00:79,000 --> 00:01:23,000 weight because you don't know what their 33 00:00:81,000 --> 00:01:25,000 ability level is so therefore you know 34 00:00:84,000 --> 00:01:28,000 you can injure them quite a lot give 35 00:00:86,000 --> 00:01:31,000 them a very gradual scale we mentioned 36 00:00:89,000 --> 00:01:34,000 this in the last video and that way it 37 00:00:91,000 --> 00:01:37,000 will remain safe something that a lot of 38 00:00:94,000 --> 00:01:39,000 coaches do not do and that is plan 39 00:00:98,000 --> 00:01:43,000 ensure that you're planning your class 40 00:00:100,000 --> 00:01:45,000 is planning this fundamental the kind of 41 00:00:103,000 --> 00:01:48,000 is this idea that you know winging it 42 00:00:106,000 --> 00:01:50,000 and you know you've done this a lot and 43 00:00:108,000 --> 00:01:53,000 you're experienced that you know kind of 44 00:00:110,000 --> 00:01:56,000 holds you in good stead and that's fine 45 00:00:113,000 --> 00:01:59,000 but if you plan I guarantee that your 46 00:00:117,000 --> 00:01:61,000 classes and your session especially with 47 00:00:119,000 --> 00:01:64,000 things like conditioning and strength 48 00:00:121,000 --> 00:01:68,000 work is gonna make your class as much 49 00:00:125,000 --> 00:01:70,000 much better if you've thought about how 50 00:00:128,000 --> 00:01:72,000 you're going to motivate your students 51 00:00:130,000 --> 00:01:73,000 then it's just going to make it a lot 52 00:00:132,000 --> 00:01:76,000 more enjoy 53 00:00:134,000 --> 00:01:80,000 moving into the main part of this now 54 00:00:137,000 --> 00:01:83,000 I'm sure that there are going to be a 55 00:00:140,000 --> 00:01:86,000 lot of other disciplines and sports that 56 00:00:143,000 --> 00:01:88,000 won't agree with this but this is coming 57 00:00:146,000 --> 00:01:92,000 from a parkour background and a movement 58 00:00:149,000 --> 00:01:96,000 based background and that is that you 59 00:00:153,000 --> 00:01:100,000 want to make sure that your classes are 60 00:00:156,000 --> 00:01:104,000 collaborative and cooperative not 61 00:00:160,000 --> 00:01:105,000 competitive now the reason that I'm 62 00:00:164,000 --> 00:01:109,000 saying this is because if you start 63 00:00:166,000 --> 00:01:112,000 introducing competition into your 64 00:00:169,000 --> 00:01:115,000 classes and make it competitive you are 65 00:00:173,000 --> 00:01:117,000 gonna alienate some people and the 66 00:00:176,000 --> 00:01:120,000 reason it's gonna alienate those people 67 00:00:177,000 --> 00:01:121,000 is because they don't not everybody 68 00:00:180,000 --> 00:01:125,000 wants to compete and in fact a lot of 69 00:00:182,000 --> 00:01:128,000 people that come to movement classes and 70 00:00:186,000 --> 00:01:130,000 parkour classes they're not interested 71 00:00:188,000 --> 00:01:133,000 in having to compete against others 72 00:00:191,000 --> 00:01:136,000 they're more interested in how they are 73 00:00:194,000 --> 00:01:139,000 able to move and how they can increase 74 00:00:196,000 --> 00:01:141,000 their ability not have to compare 75 00:00:200,000 --> 00:01:144,000 themselves against someone else or have 76 00:00:202,000 --> 00:01:148,000 other people compare what they can do 77 00:00:204,000 --> 00:01:151,000 against them so competitive is not a 78 00:00:208,000 --> 00:01:153,000 great way of training in for classes for 79 00:00:212,000 --> 00:01:156,000 this kind of stuff think more about 80 00:00:214,000 --> 00:01:158,000 being collaborative and cooperative so 81 00:00:217,000 --> 00:01:161,000 you are helping each other and you're 82 00:00:219,000 --> 00:01:164,000 going towards common goals rather than 83 00:00:221,000 --> 00:01:165,000 competing now I understand that there 84 00:00:224,000 --> 00:01:169,000 are a lot of disciplines that are 85 00:00:226,000 --> 00:01:171,000 competitive and this is absolutely fine 86 00:00:229,000 --> 00:01:173,000 for them and that's what more what their 87 00:00:231,000 --> 00:01:175,000 discipline is focused on that's 88 00:00:234,000 --> 00:01:180,000 perfectly fine but for the type of 89 00:00:236,000 --> 00:01:182,000 training that I do and for movement and 90 00:00:240,000 --> 00:01:185,000 parkour based stuff we try to get away 91 00:00:243,000 --> 00:01:188,000 from the competitive stuff because a lot 92 00:00:246,000 --> 00:01:192,000 of other people do it and we prefer to 93 00:00:249,000 --> 00:01:195,000 try to incorporate everybody and make it 94 00:00:253,000 --> 00:01:198,000 a lot more collaborative and 95 00:00:255,000 --> 00:01:199,000 incorporative so another way we 96 00:00:258,000 --> 00:01:201,000 mentioned in the last video but another 97 00:00:259,000 --> 00:01:204,000 way that you can kind of make it 98 00:00:261,000 --> 00:01:206,000 collaborative is by doing group work now 99 00:00:265,000 --> 00:01:209,000 when you do group work you don't 100 00:00:267,000 --> 00:01:211,000 have to incorporate the entire group as 101 00:00:269,000 --> 00:01:216,000 one single group you can have smaller 102 00:00:271,000 --> 00:01:219,000 teams of people and they're the kind of 103 00:00:276,000 --> 00:01:222,000 idea would be for the teams to try to 104 00:00:279,000 --> 00:01:224,000 make sure that they are accomplishing a 105 00:00:282,000 --> 00:01:228,000 goal so something that we do in classes 106 00:00:285,000 --> 00:01:230,000 occasionally is if they are doing 107 00:00:288,000 --> 00:01:232,000 hanging on the side of the wall so it's 108 00:00:290,000 --> 00:01:235,000 a lot of this pulling action again and 109 00:00:293,000 --> 00:01:238,000 it's more towards an endurance side of 110 00:00:296,000 --> 00:01:241,000 stuff so you would be you'd get one 111 00:00:298,000 --> 00:01:243,000 person hanging on the side of a wall in 112 00:00:301,000 --> 00:01:246,000 groups of three so out of the three one 113 00:00:303,000 --> 00:01:247,000 person against on the war and they 114 00:00:306,000 --> 00:01:250,000 cannot come off unless one of their 115 00:00:308,000 --> 00:01:253,000 other teammates it gets on to the wall 116 00:00:310,000 --> 00:01:255,000 and they have to do that for ten minutes 117 00:00:314,000 --> 00:01:259,000 so you can spend as much time as you 118 00:00:316,000 --> 00:01:261,000 like on the wall so you can spend two 119 00:00:319,000 --> 00:01:264,000 minutes usually towards at the beginning 120 00:00:321,000 --> 00:01:265,000 the time is longer but you know you 121 00:00:324,000 --> 00:01:268,000 spend a minute on the on the wall and 122 00:00:326,000 --> 00:01:270,000 then you can switch and have a rest and 123 00:00:328,000 --> 00:01:272,000 somebody else in your team would be then 124 00:00:330,000 --> 00:01:274,000 taking over but you have to make sure 125 00:00:333,000 --> 00:01:278,000 that someone has to get on before you 126 00:00:335,000 --> 00:01:279,000 get off now obviously when it gets to 127 00:00:338,000 --> 00:01:282,000 the close towards like the ten minute 128 00:00:340,000 --> 00:01:284,000 mark and put that amount of time you 129 00:00:343,000 --> 00:01:287,000 spend the Lord is gonna reduce down to 130 00:00:345,000 --> 00:01:289,000 like ten second so you spend ten seconds 131 00:00:347,000 --> 00:01:290,000 on the wall your teammate gets up you 132 00:00:349,000 --> 00:01:292,000 get off you rest and then the next 133 00:00:351,000 --> 00:01:295,000 teammate gets on the other person gets 134 00:00:353,000 --> 00:01:298,000 off and essentially all it's doing is 135 00:00:355,000 --> 00:01:301,000 the groups are having the goal of a ten 136 00:00:358,000 --> 00:01:303,000 minute hang group challenge with you 137 00:00:361,000 --> 00:01:305,000 know in triples and it's usually a lot 138 00:00:364,000 --> 00:01:309,000 of fun it works really well and 139 00:00:366,000 --> 00:01:312,000 everybody has this kind of group kind of 140 00:00:369,000 --> 00:01:314,000 vibe to them all because they've all got 141 00:00:373,000 --> 00:01:317,000 this common goal and they're working 142 00:00:374,000 --> 00:01:318,000 together they get to rest and you know 143 00:00:377,000 --> 00:01:322,000 and then they get to work and there's a 144 00:00:379,000 --> 00:01:324,000 lot of fun another thing to think about 145 00:00:382,000 --> 00:01:328,000 is you could put people in pairs and get 146 00:00:385,000 --> 00:01:331,000 them working together so if one you 147 00:00:389,000 --> 00:01:334,000 could get one person doing pull-ups and 148 00:00:391,000 --> 00:01:336,000 working on the the primary goal of the 149 00:00:394,000 --> 00:01:337,000 challenge so for this was strength and 150 00:00:397,000 --> 00:01:340,000 conditioning upper body pulling theme 151 00:00:398,000 --> 00:01:342,000 the main idea is 152 00:00:400,000 --> 00:01:346,000 to do pull-ups but you could be working 153 00:00:403,000 --> 00:01:350,000 in teams of two where your partner is 154 00:00:407,000 --> 00:01:354,000 having to do perhaps chair position 155 00:00:410,000 --> 00:01:356,000 against the wall or a plank position or 156 00:00:414,000 --> 00:01:359,000 something not related to pulling and so 157 00:00:417,000 --> 00:01:360,000 they're kind of resting but they're 158 00:00:419,000 --> 00:01:363,000 resting their arm so in chair position 159 00:00:421,000 --> 00:01:364,000 they would be resting their arms ready 160 00:00:423,000 --> 00:01:367,000 to do the work but they are still 161 00:00:425,000 --> 00:01:370,000 working their legs once you've done your 162 00:00:428,000 --> 00:01:373,000 work on the bar it doesn't matter what 163 00:00:430,000 --> 00:01:375,000 it is your partner then stands up gets 164 00:00:434,000 --> 00:01:378,000 over onto the bar you then have to do 165 00:00:436,000 --> 00:01:380,000 the the chair position and you switch 166 00:00:438,000 --> 00:01:383,000 places and again this makes this a 167 00:00:440,000 --> 00:01:385,000 collaborative work so if one of these 168 00:00:443,000 --> 00:01:387,000 things sucks more than the other so if 169 00:00:446,000 --> 00:01:390,000 the person doing the chair position is 170 00:00:447,000 --> 00:01:391,000 really suffering they want you to hurry 171 00:00:450,000 --> 00:01:394,000 up a little bit so that means you've got 172 00:00:452,000 --> 00:01:397,000 to be focused and not dawdle 173 00:00:455,000 --> 00:01:400,000 because they are suffering if you spend 174 00:00:458,000 --> 00:01:402,000 a lot more time on it and similarly the 175 00:00:460,000 --> 00:01:404,000 other way so it becomes this kind of 176 00:00:462,000 --> 00:01:408,000 collaborative goal to make sure you get 177 00:00:465,000 --> 00:01:411,000 all the work done effectively so overall 178 00:00:468,000 --> 00:01:413,000 in this video the idea is that we want 179 00:00:471,000 --> 00:01:416,000 to try and incorporate everybody within 180 00:00:474,000 --> 00:01:419,000 the group no matter their ability and 181 00:00:476,000 --> 00:01:421,000 their skill level you're not trying to 182 00:00:480,000 --> 00:01:424,000 make things competitive because that 183 00:00:482,000 --> 00:01:427,000 will alienate certainly groups and 184 00:00:485,000 --> 00:01:431,000 demographics of people that don't want 185 00:00:487,000 --> 00:01:433,000 to be competitive unless they are 186 00:00:491,000 --> 00:01:435,000 specifically going into classes that 187 00:00:494,000 --> 00:01:438,000 they know that are competitive thing 188 00:00:495,000 --> 00:01:440,000 that's fine but for this if the idea is 189 00:00:499,000 --> 00:01:444,000 strength and conditioning with learning 190 00:00:501,000 --> 00:01:446,000 how to do the pull-ups and in the group 191 00:00:504,000 --> 00:01:451,000 it's a movement parkour kind of training 192 00:00:507,000 --> 00:01:451,000 don't make it competitive collaborative 193 00:00:517,000 --> 00:01:459,000 you
