Average young athlete: “I can’t lift in-season, it’ll make me sore & I’ll get hurt.” Dominant college pitcher who lifted the DAY OF his World Series start You can & should lift in-season too

S&C is not meant to develop sport skill… It’s meant to develop a wider base of skill potential. Simply, a faster athlete has the potential to run a better route. A stronger athlete has the potential to block better. S&C should be focused on improving force capabilities🙌🏻💪🏻

This is what the University of Houston president and many in academics emphasized years ago when I was there. Athletic success increases prestige. It increases your reach, interest, and name recognition. Often, leading to better students and a boost in alumni donations.

This past week we had 2 teams lift the day before a game and one team did a primer lift on game day. They all won. They didn’t win because of the lifts. But they also didn’t lose because of the lifts. What they did do was still develop physical qualities, despite being in-season. Long term development cannot take seasons off just because you’re in-season (which is almost 12 months a year now for kids.)

The difference in schools that succeed vs those that don't in my opinion comes down to this Successful schools - "What is best for our kids" Non-successful schools - "What is best for us"

The largest advantages you can give athletic departments is a S&C program that is aligned with all teams. Not each team “doing their own thing”. It’s literally connecting athletes from sport to sport so they make continuous progress year round. Such a low hanging fruit🙌🏻

Lifting weights is associated with better academic performance.

Good luck to the Ram athletes entering postseason competition
