    The Lenko Show Ep147 - Raising Tough, Resilient Young Athletes

    Send us Fan MailThis episode stemmed from a question I was recently asked on one of my school visits where a young man was looking for guidance on how he could become a professional footballer. Obviously, I can't claim to know all the answers and success is never guaranteed but in the short amount of time I had with him, I did my best. This episode is the more detailed and in depth version. If you're a parent or maybe you'd like to be a parent this episode doesn't necessarily contain any answers but hopefully it will provide you with some solid principles from which you can operate. In the event that you follow these principles and your child doesn't become an elite athlete, they should at the very least be resilient, confident and able to focus on achieving goals they set for themselves. Enjoy the episode!Support the showThanks for listeningWe are proudly sponsored by dryrobe, for outdoor gear to keep you going in any weather, anywhere head over to the dryrobe website > dryrobe® - The ultimate outdoor changing robe and check out their products!To get in touch you can find us on Instagram @alex_lenkowski_performance@Chris_Lenkowski_performanceor use this link to explore a little further and find our online programs / enquire about our online coaching packages. alexlenkowski | Instagram, Facebook | LinktreeYouTube - (4) Elite Football Conditioning - YouTubeStay strong train hard and thank you for listening and supporting the show.

    The Lenko Show Ep146 - Toughness is a Skill - Stop Being Soft

    Send a textIn this episode we kick things off with pure football chaos! A fiery Brazilian cup final that exploded into red cards and madness, and a brutal Spurs moment in the Champions League vs Atletico Madrid But the real theme of this episode is toughness.As Chris predicted he was right... I did forget something from the Ultra Run.. So I link it with today's episode and why being “hard” still matters. Because if everyone’s emotional and vulnerable all the time… who’s actually reliable when it gets difficult?Expect the usual stories, lessons, and a bit of a rant (nothing new there!) with practical takeaways on building real resilience.Support the showThanks for listeningWe are proudly sponsored by dryrobe, for outdoor gear to keep you going in any weather, anywhere head over to the dryrobe website > dryrobe® - The ultimate outdoor changing robe and check out their products!To get in touch you can find us on Instagram @alex_lenkowski_performance@Chris_Lenkowski_performanceor use this link to explore a little further and find our online programs / enquire about our online coaching packages. alexlenkowski | Instagram, Facebook | LinktreeYouTube - (4) Elite Football Conditioning - YouTubeStay strong train hard and thank you for listening and supporting the show.

    Send us Fan MailHello and welcome to The Lenko Show in this episode we are checking in a little bit more with performance nutrition. Earlier in the week before this we held a nutrition coaching session for our clients and this was all about eating like an athlete and managing your nutrition with a more serious mindset. There are a significant number of people training who are not fueling appropriately for their workouts!Don't be that athlete! Fuel for your workout and then concentrate your energy on recovering from the workout! For reference here is the studyDíaz-Lara J, Reisman E, Botella J, Probert B, Burke LM, Bishop DJ, Lee MJ.

    The Lenko Show Ep133 - Is Ozempic Safe?

    Send us Fan MailPulling no punches, first off we aren't medical professionals and we are not dishing out medical advice so please don't hop on our backs about that. We spend the main chunk of this episode talking through a Q and A I had with a Dr on Instagram about the effects of Ozempic. Underlying fact of the matter is that the benefits by far outweigh the risks and there is a lot of data available on both sides.As personal trainers and health professionals our opinion is that no matter what you do to lose weight you will always be better off with coaching and guidance throughout the process and simply taking the drugs without changing your lifestyle is NOT going to serve you well in the long term. We also discuss the F1 Unveiling to kick off the episode and then we get into a little bit more of the nitty gritty with regards to nutrition, lifestyle and performance... this is what leads us into our main topic discussing Ozempic.Support the showThanks for listeningWe are proudly sponsored by dryrobe, for outdoor gear to keep you going in any weather, anywhere head over to the dryrobe website > dryrobe® - The ultimate outdoor changing robe and check out their products!To get in touch you can find us on Instagram @alex_lenkowski_performance@Chris_Lenkowski_performanceor use this link to explore a little further and find our online programs / enquire about our online coaching packages. alexlenkowski | Instagram, Facebook | LinktreeYouTube - (4) Elite Football Conditioning - YouTubeStay strong train hard and thank you for listening and supporting the show.

    The Lenko Show Ep98 - Is Strength Training Safe For Kids?

    Send us Fan MailYes, the answer is yes!This episode is centered around a study by Pastor et al 2023 which is a systematic review into the influence of strength training variables on neuromuscular and morphological adaptations in children.Basically asking the question 'is it safe'? I've always been baffled by the strength world where parents will allow their kids to play high impact collision sports and yet when it comes to their physical training the limit seems to be throwing a beanbag into a hoop. We don't seem to be doing our best job at physically preparing kids to be able to handle themselves and give them the best foundation to be strong and resilient by wrapping them in cotton wool. We aim to cut through some of the nonsense and assess what the best practice might be for training children and doing it safely. We discuss what we think we did right when growing up and also how we would do things differently if we were given our time again! There is no advantage to being weak! Enjoy the show!Support the showThanks for listeningWe are proudly sponsored by dryrobe, for outdoor gear to keep you going in any weather, anywhere head over to the dryrobe website > dryrobe® - The ultimate outdoor changing robe and check out their products!To get in touch you can find us on Instagram @alex_lenkowski_performance@Chris_Lenkowski_performanceor use this link to explore a little further and find our online programs / enquire about our online coaching packages. alexlenkowski | Instagram, Facebook | LinktreeYouTube - (4) Elite Football Conditioning - YouTubeStay strong train hard and thank you for listening and supporting the show.
