The Dumbbell Coaches Association
Welcome to The Dumbbell Coaches Association
A learned, humble yet brilliant group of individuals training their athletes to be the best they can be. We coach every rep!
What is a Dumbbell Coach
The Dumbbell Coaches Association is made up of coaches of a different mindset. The true dumbbell coach relies on science, logic and common sense when designing and implementing dumbbell coach like regiments. A dumbbell coach is not a double certified master strength specialist or conditioning and flexibility functional movement pattern guru. We know as dumbbell coaches there is no substitute for HARD WORK. As dumbbell coaches we get the most effort out of our athletes because we coach every repTable of Contents

The Ralph Cornwell Files-- Female Neck Training
The Ralph Cornwell Files-- Female Neck Training
Ralph Cornwell is a Ph.D. candidate in health promotion/human performance at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Prior to pursuing his Doctoral Degree he was a collegiate strength coach.
According to a study published in the Journal of Athletic Training in 2007, female high school athletes suffered almost 40 percent more concussions than males did. It estimated that female players suffer about 29,000 concussions annually with boys suffering 21,000.
A new study to be published in the Journal of Athletic Training found that in high school soccer, girls sustained this type of head trauma 68 percent more often than boys. Female concussion rates in high school basketball were almost three times higher then boys and the girls took longer to return to play.
When there is an Epidemic in The United States we don’t just inoculate one section of the population we give the antidote to all that need it. In light of research and just common sense our female athletes need to be protected.
There are women athletes that do train their necks.
Their training is not dissimilar then the men who train theirs. They train the flexor, extensors and trapezius muscles that allow for increased neck stiffness and high performance moves on the playing field.
Meagan is a ballerina and is very strong from head to toe.
I asked Meagan why she trained her neck. She simply said, “Ballerinas get put in awkward positions as they perform. If your dance partner drops you while you are being pressed over his head, I want a strong neck.”
