Coach Troy Miller

The grass is always… greener? 😔 take a look at some of these alarming numbers from the transfer portal following last season #D1R | #TransferPortal

Some more #’s ⤵️

DM’s are NOT texts. You need a number in order to text. A coach DM’ing you without giving out their cell phone number is keeping you at arm’s distance. A Coach who shares the number generally has higher interest in you. #BDPRecruiting

Coaching 1 team at a time is easy. Fill a weight room with 15 HS bball girls in season, 15 HS boys soccer off-season, and 15 middle school boys and see how you do. They don’t cover that on the CSCS👀

“I Need to Get Better as a Strength and Conditioning Coach” A High School Coach asked me to take a look at his summer training program a while back. It looked solid at the time. Curious about his results, I asked him how it went. He was hard on himself: “What I struggled with was exercise selection and programming to fit our equipment. Overall I need to get better as a strength & conditioning coach.” I could tell he felt like he’d let his athletes down. The program hadn’t flowed as smoothly in his facility as he’d hoped. To me, his self-criticism showed how much he cares about giving his athletes the best possible training. But he wasn’t giving himself enough credit. What he’s experiencing is a valuable learning moment. Designing a program isn’t perfect on the first try. It may only unfold about 70-80% as well as you intended, which isn’t bad at all. Remember, it’ll never be perfect the first time and it doesn’t have to be perfect to be effective. Real-world experience is key to spotting bottlenecks and making those changes. Each time you run a program, you find little things that need fixing. Maybe an exercise doesn’t flow well, or a setup takes too long. With each adjustment, your program moves closer to fitting 90%, then 95%, of what you need. This process is a journey. Starting with a solid base, you’ll fine-tune it run after run, creating a program that’s specifically designed for your gym, your athletes, and your goals. So if you’re in the same spot, remember—it’s okay if your program isn’t perfect right away. Learning and improving each time you run it is what matters most. In time, you’ll have the optimal program fit perfectly to your athletes in your situation. But that’ll never happen without going through this learning process.

The Seahawks had one losing season since the 2014 SB and went 7-10 that year. You don't have to tank to rebuild well.
