70: Mike Robertson: Performance Posture, Single Leg Training, and Athletic Balance | Sponsored by SimpliFaster - a podcast by Joel Smith, Just-Fly-Sports.com

Today’s guest is Mike Robertson, President of Robertson Training Systems and co-owner of IFAST in Indianapolis, Indiana. Mike currently coaches a handful of professional athletes during their off-season, and is the physical preparation coach for the Indy Eleven professional soccer team. He is the creator of “Complete Single Leg Training” (completesinglelegtraining.com), “Physical Preparation 101” (physicalpreparation101.com), “Bulletproof Athlete” (bulletproofathlete.com), and many others.



One of the first websites I started looking through way back when, in my own journey as a performance coach, was T-Nation, and one of the first authors I remember reading was Mike Robertson. Fast forward a decade, and I’m an avid listener of Mike’s “Physical Preparation Podcast”. (robertsontrainingsystems.com/blog/category/podcast). Mike has delivered a vast amount of knowledge to the S&C community in his years as a coach.



In the past few years, I’ve started to attend some Postural Restoration Institute Seminars, and the ideas in the aftermath led to some researching that led me right to Mike’s articles on topics, such as “addressing the sagittal plane first”, and based on my questions I’ve had relating postural work to athletic performance, both in a linear and team based setting, I knew I had to get Mike on the show to learn more about the integration of these ideals with athletes.



Ever since my podcast with Mike Boyle, I’ve also had ideas and questions on the utilization of single leg training with athletes on the levels of progressions, as well as when and why to really emphasize it. On today’s podcast, in addition to performance posture training and single leg elements, Mike also talks about his departure from powerlift based training for athletes and ideas on maximal strength training.



Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster.com, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more.
