Reflexive Performance Reset (RPR)
Reflexive Performance Reset (RPR) is a simple system of breathing and tactile input that resets your body from a survival mode to a performance mode. Your body has two priorities: to breath and to move. In order to perform your best, you need to do both properly.
RPR is designed to help with:
- Injury prevention: RPR can help reduce the risk of non-contact injuries and musculoskeletal pain.
- Flexibility: RPR can help increase flexibility.
- Performance: RPR can help improve athletic performance.
- Pain reduction: RPR can help reduce pain.
RPR is unique because it can be done on yourself, without the need for a medical professional, coach, or teammate.
How To Optimize Performance and Development
Feed The Cats
How do you FEED THE CATS (FTC) as a lacrosse coach?
By: Tony Holler & JM3 Philosophy
#1) The foundation of high performance is rest, recovery, and
sleep. Sleep is more important than practice.
#2) Sprint, don’t run. Quality > Quantity
#3) Perform in practice. Moderate exercise never leads to
extreme performance. And, don’t wait until championship week to
value performance, start on day one!
#4) Never let today ruin tomorrow. Don’t burn the steak.
#5) Let the actual competition be the hardest thing you do. Stop
practicing long and hard trying to make games easy. Fast and
healthy players who execute will win the fourth quarter. Getting
tired in practice has no bearing on how fresh you are at the end of
a game. Tired is the enemy, not the goal.
#6) Rather be 100% healthy and 80% in shape, than the other
way around.
#7) No conditioning. Eliminate aerobic-focused work. Get into
shape by practicing with game-like intensity. Stack anaerobic
work. Also, allow your games to condition your athletes.
#8) Practice fast and intense, not long and hard. (And, in order to
practice fast and intense, practice must be choppy with periods of
recovery.)
#9) Alternate “high output” and “low output” practices. Within
“high” practices, include “high” periods and “low” periods.
#10) Pareto Principle: 20% of our work produces 80% of our
results. Constantly re-evaluate what you do. Search for the 20%
that truly matters. DO LESS, ACHIEVE MORE. Never fill time.
Practice the “Disciplined Pursuit of Less”. #Essentialism.
#11) Make your practices THE BEST PART OF A KID’S DAY.
#12) Attract great athletes to your team. See your sport through
the eyes of your players. Promote. Own the narrative.
#13) Facilitate growth. Encourage your players to “build their own
house.
