This is episode 21 Coach & Athlete Training & Workout Ideas in a Digital Virtual COVID19 Quarantine.  It was so timely because I had noticed the challenges athletes and coaches were going through having to translate the in person experience to digital and virtual.  Coincidentally or by God’s Will, I was invited to be a guest on this podcast, SportsLifeTalk with 4 incredible hosts out of Austin TX. So for middle school, high school and college level athletes transitioning their workouts to the home (gyms have been CLOSED)….may be opening soon but - The areas are the same – cardio, weights, position drills, reps, rest, stretching, diet, mindset, teamwork, sleep and injury care and prevention.  That’s a lot!  Now while at home players all have differing equipment, differing needs, ….strengths and weaknesses to work on, their mental state coping with quarantine….some struggle in school and may or may not have the parental or family support they need…. So we discuss here – where coaches AND parents! can start….what coaches and families can incorporate to achieve better results for the individual athletes and for themselves and the team….and some steps they can take….i list some creative ideas that can increase player engagement in both their own workouts and with team work and accountability.  I share some great Apps – food and nutrition apps, speciality or niche apps, etc.  We talk about some great outdoor set ups and inexpensive if not free stations players can make in their back yards.  Last, I note the childrens online privacy protection act, or COPPA, that adults should be aware of. I have put this tip sheet up on the All Social Y’all Facebook Page Coaches, players and parents can download free so please go there and I’d love to have you comment or ask any questions there or share ideas and pictures of what’s working for you!  I hope you enjoy this episode.
