  • Staff Views on Sport
    Staff views on sport Many teachers at Cathedral College claim to be experts on sport. I asked them their views on several matters. This week I asked them to list their 5 greatest Australian sporting moments of all time. Remember, some of our staff are a little older so have seen a lot more football in their time. For example, Mr. Newbold is much, much older than Mr. Clark. More lists will appear in the coming weeks.

  • This Post Came from a Group Called Supertraining
    This post came from a group called Supertraining. Paul Rogers is the Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Australian National Sprint Cycling Team. Enjoy! Australian track cyclists more or less dominated the Athens Olympics track program with six gold medals. Here is a unique view from the strength and conditioning coach. My apologies if the following has been posted previously. It is doing the rounds of some bike forums, so some may have already seen it. There's no name on it and that's how I came upon it, but the guy's name is no secret. Just a few points of interest. Ryan Bayley, mentioned below, won the Athens individual sprint gold. Check out the last paragraph for some insights into the last thread on 'endurance paradox'. Note the squat and jump data. My oh my! --------------------------------------------------------------------- "I am currently the Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Australian National Sprint Cycling Team and have been for about five years. I am also the Strength Scientist for the South Australian Sports Institute in Adelaide, Australia, where the National Sprint Program is based. In addition, for "fun", I help coach a group of developmental sprint cyclists, which form the core of our SA State Sprint team and half of whom are now in the Top 10 sprinters in Australia, which would make them National champions in all but a handful of countries and, when I get time, I roll around the track myself. Some points (for free): 1. We don't keep any secrets from anyone, including the Poms, the Frogs, Ze Germans or the Yanks.
