Year 4 in the books ✅

@CoachRGarner @OVRPerformance I’m looking forward just to using them in my own training. Plus we’re getting turf so no more marking out distances.

@CoachCChester @OVRPerformance Not having to sync to an app if I don’t want to…

30mins of messing with @OVRPerformance lasers Impressed would be an understatement. 76 sprints this afternoon testing it out. No misses. Set it up in 30s Coaches could easily set this up on their own without me around…

How kids make teachers/coaches feel the last couple days of school

@Coachjgpatrick Whatever y’all’s beef is can yall squash it. Ain’t gonna lie it’s kind of embarrassing to our profession.

Grandstanding for full time strength coaches in every school will be at an all-time high this weekend. An absolutely wonderful sentiment, but before you weigh in, consider the following: 1. Have you personally run a school wide or district wide budget top to bottom? 2. Are you personally willing to relocate to remote America to fill one of these imaginary positions at EVERY high school (and I’ve seen it proposed for middle schools as well.)? 3. Have you provided ANY simplified and affordable strength and conditioning resources that discuss safe return to play after breaks, education on rhabdo etc, or programming in general? 4. Have you worked within a professional organization (even if it’s just to tell a friend about things like the @nhssca_us) to help provide cost effective solutions for more coaches? That being said - I obviously am HORRIFIED by the most recent rhabdo case. It should be common sense but we’ve repeatedly seen that it isn’t. However pretending we as an s&c profession have a super simple solution to a complicated problem doesn’t actually solve anything and gets us no closer to helping kids. Yeah, full time strength coaches everywhere is an amazing idea - but it’s not happening anytime soon, so let’s figure out what we can do on a smaller scale to make a difference TODAY. I think the NHSSCAs idea of a “one more” style outreach (where each of us reach out to one coach who might benefit from the NHSSCA and telling them about it) is a great start. So text somebody. I’ll go first.
