Training the Warrior‐ Athlete

Michael Boyle

Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning

Thanks

Harold Hill and Glenn Mercer, two men who first introduced me to the concept of the warrior 

athlete

Disclaimer

I have never served in the military. I am humbled and maybe a bit embarrassed to come 

and talk about such a serious subject

The Professional Athlete Model

Using what we have learned from training highly paid professional athletes to help in military  

and first responder training.

Changing the Paradigm

Treating the elite like they are elite

Page 3: Training the Warrior Athlete Thanks - NSCA · Training the Warrior‐Athlete ... game? ‐Base this on ... 1992 • “Sitting with the back slouched for as little as 20 minutes can

“The highly trained special forces soldier may the most valuable asset in the armed forces. These men should be treated as such. This means that training must be designed first with safety in mind. In the qualifying procedure it may be necessary to see who is willing to push beyond physical pain however once an operator has qualified pushing beyond the technical failure point is ill advised. These highly skilled, and highly trained warrior athletes should be cared for and maintained as the high value assets they are.”

Not Everyone Knows What isGood for Them

Professional athletes have strength and conditioning coaches for a reason.

The Warrior Athlete Needs to Protected from Himself

What Does a Training Injury Cost?

Should a Person Trained to Accomplish a Mission at Any Cost Be Told to “do as 

many reps as possible”?

HIIT?

Is training to failure ( and beyond) safe?

Are injuries part of the process?

Do adults make good Olympic lifters?

Cults?• The group displays excessively zealous and unquestioning commitment to its leader and 

regards his belief system, ideology, and practices as the truth, as law.• Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.• The leadership dictates, sometimes in great detail, how members should think, act, and feel 

(for example leaders prescribe what types of clothes to wear).• The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader(s) and members  The 

group has a polarized us‐versus‐them mentality, which may cause conflict with the wider society.

• The leader is not accountable to any authorities (unlike, for example, teachers, military commanders, etc).

• The group teaches or implies that its supposedly exalted ends justify whatever means it deems necessary. This may result in members' participating in behaviors or activities they would have considered reprehensible or unethical before joining the group.

• The leadership induces feelings of shame and/or guilt in order to influence and/or control members. Often, this is done through peer pressure and subtle forms of persuasion.

• The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.• The group is preoccupied with making money.• Members are expected to devote inordinate amounts of time to the group and group‐related 

activities.• Members are encouraged or required to live and/or socialize only with other group 

members.

My Passion

Consuming loads of info so that I can help others. This is what I’m good at. Making the 

complicated simple. I want to learn, and share.

“if you can’t explain it simply, you don’t really understand it”

Smart People

• Change their mind

• Use simple language

• Talk less but, say more

• Stay teachable

• Ask questions

• Are you smart? Will you be smarter at the end of today?

• "What if the way we have always done it was wrong?"       

• Lee Cockrell in Creating Magic

Why We Roll

Page 13: Training the Warrior Athlete Thanks - NSCA · Training the Warrior‐Athlete ... game? ‐Base this on ... 1992 • “Sitting with the back slouched for as little as 20 minutes can

Creep? Locked Long• “Mechanical creep, defined as elongation of tissue beyond it’s 

intrinsic extensibility resulting from a constant load over time.”Wilhelmi BJ, Blackwell SJ, Mancoll JS, Phillips LG. Creep vs. Stretch: A review of viscoelastic properties of skin. Ann Plast Surg. 1998; 41:215‐219

• “A property common to extensible soft tissues is that they become stiffer as they are extended due to the reorientation of collagen fibers. A stretch of a magnitude of 3‐8% causes tearing and inflammation while applying a lesser stretch of 1‐1.5% (load deformation) will have a similar affect.”Currier DP, Nelson RM. Dynamics of human Biologic Tissues Philadelphia:FA Davis Co; 1992

• “Sitting with the back slouched for as little as 20 minutes can result in increased laxity of the posterior spinal ligaments. It may take 30 minutes or more for these ligaments to regain their previous level of stiffness.”McGill SM, Brown S. Creep response of the lumbar spine to prolonged full flexion. Clinical Biomechanics. 1992; 7: 43‐46.

Feet, rolling and the low back?

Beach

“the lower lumbar and first sacral nerves innervate the skin of the sole of the foot and 

most of the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the foot are innervated from L4‐S3. Nerves that innervate the foot are the same nerves that innervate the deep muscles of the pelvic floor 

and low back (such as the multifidus, intertransversarii, the interspinalis, and 

rotatores lumborum.)…”

Why We Stretch?

“Stretching isn’t about todays workout, it’s about preventing an injury six months from 

now”
