Sprint Programming: The Science & Art of Coaching with Lance Brauman
by Paul De Leon
Description
In this comprehensive course led by elite track and field coach Lance Brauman, you will dive deep into the precise physiological foundations of world-class sprint training. Across nine detailed lessons, Coach Brauman pulls back the curtain on how to utilize energy system charts to dictate volume, intensity, and recovery. You will explore a wide array of critical topics, including how to perfectly synchronize track workouts with weight room sessions, structure early-season power circuits, calculate precise rest intervals, and execute high-quality speed endurance and predictor workouts under fatigue. Through real-world examples of mid-season training blocks, Brauman reveals the exact percentages and daily running limits required to maximize an athlete's potential without overtraining.
Beyond the raw data and stopwatch mechanics, this is a must-take course because it masterfully bridges the gap between the hard science of athletic physiology and the highly nuanced "art" of coaching. Brauman teaches you how to effectively manage different calibers of athletes within the same group, adapt structured plans on the fly, and build a culture of profound mutual accountability. By emphasizing open communication and the human element of the sport, this course equips you not just to write better training programs, but to foster unshakeable trust and confidence in your athletes, empowering them to execute at a championship level when it matters most.
