College coaches, check out a few of our stud c/o 2027s here at Clarke Community Schools in Osceola, Iowa. 🧵 below:

NOT TRAINING IN-SEASON IS DESTROYING YOUR PROGRESS! Here’s why… I have been training athletes for a decade & I STILL see this critical mistake made. You work hard for a couple months in your “off-season,” & then completely STOP TRAINING 🤦‍♂️ I’ve heard all the excuses. You don’t have time, you have too many practices. You play on 4 teams (middle school parents actually think this is a good idea). You worry it’ll make you sore or get you hurt (the opposite actually happens). Frankly, it often still comes down to a misunderstanding of what strength and conditioning is, what it means, why it can’t just be a one off (few weeks per year) thing and how it ties into your long term development, reduction of injuries and more 1. You don’t understand how your body works: gains aren’t something you keep in perpetuity once you achieve them. Speed diminishes FAST (even after a week). Strength after a few weeks. Those vertical jump or sprint PRs you hit before tryouts? Gone pretty instantly if you don’t keep working 2. You think you need to go all out to make gains: you avoid lifting or training because you think you’ll have to train until your eye balls bleed to get better. Wrong. You can pick & choose when to go hard based on your schedule and still get a lot better by doing some sub maximal work 3. You think not lifting will make you do less & keep you fresh: counterproductive thinking. It’s actually what you need to keep general patterns and strength working to combat and armor yourself against overuse injuries in sport. They’re not bulletproof, but they’ll make a lot of overuse bullets bounce off your bulletproof vest (training) 4. You don’t realize this is tanking your next off season: your training is circular. Get a little better, stop, get worse, spend the 2-3 true off season months you have working back to what you lost, barely leaving time to improve further. It’s making your off season training almost irrelevant!

I asked Dan Hurley the same question I asked Tom Izzo: why does the media have a problem with coaches coaching players hard? Hurley: "Society has gotten soft in a lot of ways... The real world is tough and cruel... I'm preparing my players for life."

I really need young athletes & their parents to understand this For the athlete going through puberty and in that 12-17 year old age range… Pairing that time with CONSISTENT and INTENSE strength/speed training… Is like taking a legal steroid Take advantage

Confidence

I am going to 4 clinics this year. This is the best clinic you can go to! Year in, year out.

We’re 1 week out - can’t wait to see everyone next Saturday! docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

Will Campbell and Drake Maye before the game-winning first down: Will: “Hope you know how much I love you, bro.” Drake: “Love you, bro. Come on, let’s go right here, Willy.” Will: “Everything you worked for, right here.” Drake: “I got you.”

🚨 I can’t stop thinking about this coaching concept: The Michelangelo Effect It changes how you view leadership. Here’s why: [THREAD] 🧵

-Creatine is safe. -Creatine will help you lose fat. -Creatine will help you build muscle. -Creatine will help your brain function better. -Women should supplement with creatine. -Children should supplement with creatine. -Creatine will decrease your risk of injury, illness, and reduce time to fatigue. -Yes, you should use creatine.

🚨 FB and S&C Coaches 🚨 We’re 2 weeks out from our clinic! Temps outside = 🥶 This speaker lineup = 🔥 We hope to see you there! docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

I challenge you to name a better story in sports history. All sports. Go….

Blessed to receive an offer from West Virginia!

If you’re not willing to get up at 5 AM to train for your sport in high school, how do you expect to do it in college when you’re playing D1 like you said you wanted? Some of y’all waking up at 11 AM are in for a rude awakening. College athlete schedules are no joke lifts at dawn, classes all day, practices, recovery, film, homework, repeat. You say you want to compete at the next level? Start showing up like it now. Too many wasting their time on video games and social media when they could be preparing themselves for the future they say they want.

Fundamentals are the Key to success as a Defensive Linemen! As a coach, having a Run/Pass progression to teach the proper steps is important for development. #DLineU Run Progression -Pre Snap 1. Alignment 2. Stance -Post Snap 3. Get Off 4. Steps 5. Hands 6. Snatch Disengage Let’s take a look at Nebraska commit Andy Burburija. He does a great job of controlling the LOS with his fundamentals and using violence to disengage off blocks. Another great quality of Andy is his Block Recognition. He understands the pressure of the block, once he gets lockout and controls of his visual key, he works to put himself in position to make the play.
