with John Dettmann, University of Wisconsin Head Strength and Conditioning Coach (Football); Director of Strength and Conditioning for the University of Wisconsin Department of Athletics.
During Coach Dettmann's extensive career at the University of Wisconsin, the Badgers have played in bowl games nearly every season. An element of the Badgers' success has been their strength and conditioning program. This DVD provides a comprehensive look at the Badger's summer and in-season strength programs for two-deep and developmental athletes. Dettmann's in-season program provides considerations for creating your strength-training program and how you might adapt it to a changing roster each year. He outlines the philosophy and objectives behind the program, which builds strength, hand speed, grip strength, increase flexibility and restore function to athletes who play a lot on game day. Dettmann provides demonstrations for the developmental players-the athletes who are not in the two-deeps to help develop a foundation for the younger players and have them game-ready if they are called upon. Dettmann's summer program focuses on body bending, lifting, reactionary movement and changes of direction. The program's final phase introduces football-specific work to become camp ready, and includes three days of position-specific conditioning. This approach builds leadership and team building. To further clarify both programs, Dettman shows video of each lift, exercise, movement, drill and position work.
