Does anyone know anything about Coach Davies' S & C philosophy?

He got into an argument over on the T-Nation Roundtable and Eric Cressey tore him up pretty good.

What is Davies all about? I'm not familar with his approach.

Jimbo? Chuck?

Yes, it is the same John Davies. I'm not too fond of his methods or training style, but I do think that he is a good guy. Plus, I use his ideas about GPP bodyweight work.

Renegade Training is nothing very special, IMO. Lots of volume using light weight. The GPP work is good, but thats about it. I used to be very interested in this style of training about 3 years ago, but the interest quickly faded out.

I had seen that roundtable where Davies got tore into. I don't really agree with what Cressey is doing as Coach D asked him to email him early on. I have been following Cressey for a couple years now. he is sharp as a tack, knows kinesiology better than most on this planet and he would devour me in a one on one confrontation about kinesiology/physiology. But, I just don't really care for what he's doing over there on a public forum. There is no need to publicly embarass another coach for all to see. Email him and talk it out. Either that or just agree to disagree and be done with it.

Coach Hale -
I couldn't agree more - the great thing about these boards is the EXCHANGE of ideas - there are better avenues if you want to promote your "way"....it is especially why I love reading your posts - they are always couched in "this is what we're doing and this is what works for us." To me that shows a great deal of security and confidence in what you're teaching us novices! Anyone who says "this is the only way" to me is saying "this is the only way I know!" so thanks for being our on-line strength coach of choice!

As for Davies - his "wheel" of training is a hit with our kids - it helps them see the bigger picture - even though we don't use his training philosophies we still use his "wheel"!

Coach Horn,

Thanks for the kind words, Coach. It is truly an honor to be here conversing with other coaches. I thank the Lord daily for guiding me to what He has called me to do.

I agree about Coach Davies' Wheel of Conditionining. It takes all of those characteristics in order to be physically ready to play at your best. I do like the fact that Coach D emphasizes attitude and desire and the ability to remain calm and conditioned during chaotic times (as in a long 4th quarter game-winning drive).

Did you get my reply to your email, Coach Horn? I hope things are going well for you. Let me know if I can help out in any way.

Jimbo
