Coach Smook

@FarmingtonPower @UesakaBarbellJp Coach can you post a video of a loaded bar being dropped on them. We have problems with the DC blocks bouncing when weight is dropped on them

Some quick pics of our new @UesakaBarbellJp pulling blocks. These things are unbelievable! Heavy (34 lbs each), easy to grip = easy stacking & unstacking, very stable, very solid, quiet drops, low bounce on drops, great floor grip, great traction on top, They’re outstanding! 👍👍

Hmmm. Sounds like someone got his target letter.

Strength training for athletes focuses on getting generally stronger in all the major muscle groups. The thought that each sport needs “sports specific” training in the weight room needs to STOP 🛑. We need more “athlete specific” training.

Two afternoon and two late night practices in a row (plus some strength and conditioning with @CharleySmook ). Lynx 🎾 is hungry to work hard and improve with each point. Excited for the first match next Friday @ home.

Performance gains are assumed with an investment of time & effort But The confidence gains that come after are priceless

Spit that 🗣 @leetaft

This is an epic Davante Adams quote on what he tells young receivers to work on during the offseason, but my goodness, does this also apply to life, in general, in the social media age. #Packers

We don’t lift during camp… Here’s why ⤵️⤵️⤵️ Snippet from a conversation between @MrCoachMoon and I.

Doesn’t matter the sport they play, I want every incoming freshman able to do this.

OMG I WALKED IN THE WEIGHT ROOM THIS MORNING AND IDK WHO MADE US THIS PRESENT BUT I ALMOST SCREAMED WITH DELIGHT!! 🔥💪🏼🔥💪🏼🔥💪🏼🔥💪🏼🔥💪🏼🔥💪🏼🔥

One of the best kids I have had the pleasure to work with. Well done @TateJohnson179 proud of the athlete and man you have became.

Anyone else have an exercise that is generally seen as a staple in strength & conditioning circles that they KNOW is a great exercise, but HATE doing themselves? Me? Pull-ups. I'd rather eat sawdust.

“Hey coach, is there anything extra I can do to get in shape for season?” Follow the program I wrote for you with relentless intent and a ton of attention to detail, and you will be ready. Extra does not mean better, it means extra. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Tag isn't just a kids game. It is a representation of an athletes decision making skills. It uncovers pattern bias. It embraces those with tactical acuity. It displays elastic capabilities vs power dependent movers.

That last line is important as we all navigate these coming weeks/months

Coaches & Athletes: Here is a chart that shows how much one tenth (.10) is worth in distance based on a 40 yard dash AND how it applies to a standard 4 second play in the game of football. @TFConsortium @pntrack @prospectnys @TrckFootball
