 Hi, I'm Philipp Halpern. I'm the director of tennis and strength and conditioning and I work with professional athletes for a living. Today I want to talk with you guys about why strength and conditioning coaches that are suffering from the fat and happy syndrome are threatening your career. Do you know what a person looks like that's suffering from the fat and happy syndrome? Well, take a look at that guy. Does he look like a fitness coach to you? Anyways, what I want to talk about is why they're threatening your career. First, they don't understand the physiological demands of exercise, meaning they don't understand the concepts of training intensities and volumes because they don't work out themselves. Second, because of that, they decide strength and conditioning programs that are too much for you to handle. Third, because of the fact that too much for you to handle, you fatigue early and you get sloppy in exercise execution, which increases the risk for injury. Fourth, when that happens that you slow down and get sloppy, the coaches usually start yelling at you because they want to motivate you to move faster because they think more is better. Problem is, more isn't better. It leads to over-training and increases the risk for injury. If you love to get yelled at while you work out, I suggest you join the army, at least you know you're getting paid for your efforts. Injuries usually don't occur right away. Usually you feel the pain the next day, sometimes even the next week. Injuries that occur most often are lower back pains, patellar tendonitis, meaning your knees hurt, or shoulder pain, sometimes so bad you can't even lift your shoulders. If you're constantly injured and your coach suffers from the fat and happy syndrome, chances are he is the problem, not you. Well, that's it again for today's episode. As usual, opinions differ.
