One of the most overlooked elements of strength training by 95% of Performance Coaches out there is the importance of developing Eccentric Control in young athletes. Eccentric Control is a muscle action that occurs during a resistive load from lengthening the muscle. Most young athletes are more concerned with how much they can Bench Press and Squat Concentrically (This is the positive, hard part or muscle shortening phase of the lift), that very little effort or time is put into the eccentric portion of the lift. All muscles function in three ways. Concentrically, they function to create acceleration. Isometrically, they function to create stability. And eccentrically they function to create deceleration or reduce force. An athlete can’t run, jump, hit, throw, etc. without using all three contractions. The better an athlete is at using a powerful eccentric contraction before a vertical jump, the higher they will jump. The reason is that there will be much more kinetic energy produced, which will help produce more force through the concentric phase of the jump. The same is true for running. We have all seen athletes buckle at the knee, hip and low back during sprinting or while trying to change directions in a particular sport. This is a direct correlation to a lack of eccentric strength, which dramatically increases an athlete’s risk of getting injured. Not only is eccentric and isometric control important for joint stability and injury prevention, but it also directly translates to strength and field speed for athletes. I truly believe that the faster one can slow down, the faster one can speed up or change direction. Regardless of the sport, it is crucial that an athlete is able to change direction quickly and efficiently in order to maximize their performance. In the E-Test Drop 2 Training System there are built-in exercises that specifically focus on Eccentric and Isometric control for every Rookie Level athlete. During the Supplemental Eccentric and Posterior Chain Eccentric movements throughout the program, the Rookie Level athletes should do a 3-5 second eccentric for each repetition.
As a Rookie Level athlete eventually progresses to the Semi-Pro and Elite-Pro Levels of the program, our focus switches from Eccentric Control training to Assisted Eccentric training. To completely grasp the idea on how this is essential for developing stronger, faster and more injury resistant athletes, we must understand that FORCE=MASS X ACCELERATION. This simply means the faster an athlete can translate a load from an eccentric movement through the concentric portion, the more power or force they will produce. Through the program Semi-Pro and Elite-Pro Level athletes will have built-in exercises during their Dynamic Effort Training days that focus on Assisted Eccentric training while using sub maximal weight or tension. This will increase the amount of kinetic energy the athlete can produced through the movement, thus improving strength and explosiveness. Some examples include Depth Jumps, Band Resisted Squats or Presses, Altitude Plyo Push Ups, Reactive Ball Throws, etc. When performing Depth Jumps and Plyo Push Ups, the focus is minimal ground contact or MGC. It is the athlete’s goal to get off the floor as quickly and as explosively as possible.
When doing Band Resisted Squats and Bench Press, the bands produce greater acceleration by pulling the bar through the eccentric phase with more tension. By exploding the load concentrically as quickly as possible, the amount of kinetic energy being produced will be far greater than if the athlete did the same training without the bands. The same thing can be said about Altitude Plyo Push Ups, Depth Jumps, etc. The only difference is that the added tension is generated from the height of the drop rather than the tension of the band.

How does one go about applying for air traffic control training in Oklahoma City?
I am a sophomore at The Ohio State University and I am majoring in Aviation. I have known for some time now that I want to be an air traffic controller with the FAA. (Both of my parents are retired ATCs of over 25 years). Does anybody have any insight about the process I must go through to apply and get into initial training? Thanks!
Okay. This is going to be a long answer. Here we go.
1). Apply to an opening at the FAA website. There are about 4-5 openings a year. Fill out the application. You must have a bachelor’s degree (any will do) and/or 3 years of work experience or a combination of both. You aviation degree should be a plus.
2). You will receive an email asking you to take the AT-SAT. It is about 8 hours long and tests basic math skills and aviation knowledge. That is only a small portion. The rest of the test is like a video game where you must guide planes to their destinations. The majority of the exam tests your ability to organize and manage time efficiently. You must get at least a 70 to pass.
3). You will then get another email with a geography/job preference that you would like to work. You can either work in a terminal at an airport or in an enroute center. You can also put two places you would like to work.
4). When that place becomes available (or when that place decides to hire), you will be contacted for the pre-hiring process. You have two choices: PEPC route or non-PEPC. I would highly suggest the PEPC route because they will do your drug screening, interview, psychological test, and give you your firm offer of employment the same day. BUT, you will have to pay all of the traveling expenses because they are usually held in few cities across the country. The non-PEPC process takes longer because the FAA has to coordinate and schedule these things close to where you live. I chose this route b/c I’m an idiot and it took me over a year to hired! So please, save yourself about 6 months and go PEPC.
5). You will receive your firm offer of employment as well as a class date once everything goes through. They will pay for your travel, lodging, and food while at the academy.
