What if physical fitness became “the best part of a kid’s day” from elementary school to high school? 🤔 What if all HS sports prioritized “sprint, lift, jump, bounce, and throw” on a foundation of “rest, recovery, and sleep”? 🤔 (Also on Spotify) ⚡️⚡️⚡️ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fee…

Congratulations to Carter Rezny for signing to play basketball at Nebraska Wesleyan. Good luck Carter.

“Don't define strength by what’s on the barbell.” 🔥 Coach @MarkHoover71 @SimpliFaster catches up with @clh_strength and breaks down why speed + intent matter more than chasing plates. 🎧Full Episode👉tinyurl.com/cbc42usx Search @RockDaisyAMS on 📺 YouTube 🎵 Spotify 🍏 Apple podcast #InsideTheNumbers #RockDaisyAMS #WorkoutBuilder #AthleteManagement #StrengthCoach #StrengthAndConditioning

Can you train total body on back-to-back days? Yes you can - if you dose it right. Let's break it down. Say you had a lower body workout one day, with exercises like squats, lunges, RDLs, and hip bridges. You would do them all in what, 30-40 minutes? Now, imagine splitting those exercises in half and doing half on one day, and the other half 24 hours later with even more rest. Doesn't that actually sound easier to recover from? That's because it is. In fact, training this way offers two significant advantages: 1. You get substantially more recovery time—24 hours versus just five minutes. 2. You'll put in better effort and focus because you're not holding back. When you know it's the only lower body work for the day, you give it your all. But won't that make them tired or sore? No, doing the exercises on consecutive days doesn't make you any more tired or sore than if you did them all at once. Remember, it's half the volume with significantly more rest. Also understand this: In the real S&C trenches you won't always have the luxury of "ideal" training schedules. This is one way to adapt textbook program design to the real world.

Sprint Based Football Clinic Feb 27-28 Duluth H.S., Atlanta area store.simplifaster.com/product/sprint… Every day for the next two weeks, I will post one SBF podcast. This one is one of my favorites: Pedro Arruza, Randolph-Macon College, 66-9 since feeding the cats. open.spotify.com/episode/6yjJ5I…

Got this question on IG from Rex Burkhead, thought I’d answer it here too. “Tony, love your feed the cats stuff. How would you balance this approach while still training the mental aspect of football, other sports, etc. when tired or pressure situations occur in the game when fatigued? Thanks and keep up the great work.” Rex: The FTC approach is often misunderstood as being soft. Football has operated with a military model for 100 years. Physical and mental toughness was cultivated by doing random hard things, pushing past limits, deprivation, and verbal abuse. Athletes, like soldiers, were intentionally “broken” with the intent of building them back stronger. A FTC approach maximizes energy and enthusiasm, physical and mental health, extreme athleticism, and most importantly, a love of training and practice. These traits create a different type of toughness. FTC football coaches use the word “violent” to describe their toughness. It makes sense in my mind… tired, broken athletes are not as tough as fast, healthy athletes. In addition, when fatigued, fast “unconditioned” athletes are faster than slow “conditioned” athletes.

@cretecardshs Athlete Spotlight Addison Dittmer-At districts: Placed 10th individually and PR’d by 40 sec. The weight room has helped me in my CC season by giving me more power and strength when running up big hills. It has also gave me the endurance to be strong on long runs.

@cretecardshs Athlete Spotlight Avery Wilsman-@ CC districts placed 24th & ran close to my PR. Weight room helped me feel more confident going into the season. I feel stronger & more capable than at this point last year because of the work I put in over the summer & mornings.
