Chuck Debus - Personal trainer and Athletic performance coach

Chuck Debus :

I am passionate about helping people live healthy and longer by using functional training.  During a workout session we train every muscle, bone, ligament and tendon. My training is for all ages and personal goals. I custom design your workout for your personal fitness needs and goals: cardio,flexibility, mobility, agility, balance, strength, and more. 

Method

Speed is partly genetic and partly learned skill. I program the learned skill part. Everyone can learn to be faster.

  1. We first have to learn mechanical efficiency (getting into correct mechanical positions.) i.e. 150 degree ankle to knee to hip while at maximum velocity so the ligaments, tendons, muscles, and bones are all functioning optionally. 
  2. When we lift an empty milk carton that we think is full, we recruit more fast twitch fibers than necessary for that physical movement. So when running and accelerating from 0 velocity, we must learn to recruit as many fast twitch fibers as possible. This can be learned.
  3. Once we have learned the correct mechanical positions , then program them into the motor system in the correct sequence of firing using thousands of repetitions, we begin to develop strength in these specific muscles, tendons, and ligaments so they will be able to execute the sprint movements with more velocity.
  4. And finally stride frequency must be developed through a series of plyometric drills designed specifically to develop higher stride frequency for the exact sprint movements. Speed = stride length x stride frequency.

In the past I have trained a long list of professional and Olympic athletes. Unfortunately, in the 90s, because of an erroneous suspension by Track and Field USA, I could not train the Olympic team for a period of time. After a few years I was cleared and reinstated. All the time I continued to train and coach. Unfortunately the negative - erroneous - publicity from that time is still visible online

Bio

After graduating from the University of Kansas with a B.S. in Kinesiology, Chuck began coaching track and field. Over the next 23 years, his teams won 19 national championships, more than any other coach in history. He also coached 177 of his athletes onto USA national teams (Olympic and World Championships,) again, more than any other coach in history. His athletes broke 27 American records, 2 World Records and won 16 International medals (Olympic, World Championships, etc.).
 
Chuck and his athletes traveled and competed in every country in Eastern and Western Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. This provided Chuck with the opportunity to study human performance with some of the greatest coaches in the world. Chuck also contributed to numerous published research projects in conjunction with top American Sports Medicine scientists. In turn, Chuck has lectured at seminars around the world on human performance training.


Chuck has served as chairman and member of numerous national track and field committees including: Olympic Development, TAC Executive Committee, Long Distance Running, Multi-Events, and Jr. Olympics. In addition, Chuck has donated his services to the Special Olympics, the Deaf Olympics, Youth track and field, and Masters track and field.

Chuck managed and coached the Los Angeles Track Club, which was sponsored by Naturite Vitamins and Adidas shoes, for 23 years. During this time, Naturite Vitamins increased their gross from 3 million dollars per year to 15 million due directly to the publicity they received when their product name, which was displayed on the uniform front at the behest of Chuck, was seen in hundreds of newspaper and magazine photos and by millions on television broadcasts of track meets.
 


Specialties: Over the years, Chuck has served as technical advisor on numerous commercials and movies, including “Chariots of Fire”, “Personal Best, and “The Babe Dedrickson Story”. Chuck has also trained World Class athletes from other sports, including: John McEnroe (tennis,) Rod Woodson (All-Pro football,) Eric Karros (Dodgers first baseman,) Oscar De La Hoya (World Champion in boxing,) and Vlade Divac (NBA center.)
