Casey Wheel

@Sport_Sullivan I go through life often thinking, "can I jump on that?"

@CoachWheel Lots of stuff in public works as a box jump, and the kids have no idea they are training when you say “can you jump up there and do a 360 down?” This is fun to do in the living room as well!

Going from a clunky 2 foot approach to a fun, jump course in 5 minutes.

@RUGBY_STR_COACH This is a made up problem. Very few high school boys don’t lift. Don’t sprint, jump, etc, you have a real argument.

That's it. That's the problem with highschool football strength and conditioning. The kids always go too light and don't want to max out all the time. College too. The guys get hurt because they're underworked

@hoopstrainer @RaphealDavis3 @brianmccormick I work at a private school. No way in hell there's 24-hour access. Shoot, I had to get an adult pick-up game approved. These schools have a litigious lens because one big lawsuit can ruin the business.

@RaphealDavis3 @brianmccormick As an administrator why would I allow 24 hour access to our gym? We are a school. Who would need to use it at 3:13AM? More access means more liability, wear and tear, and more tax payer dollars needed for utilities.

And people will still question the benefits of Prep School Basketball.

The good ole senior to college conversion chart. It leaves out a big factor….. genetics. If you’re like me, undersized, these numbers are even lower.

@JeremyFrisch @CoachDHansen You beat me to it. They need speed disguised in play.

@CoachDHansen Race, chase, relays and tag

Parents. Your 9-year-old does not need a speed program. They need to sprint. All-out. Twice a week. 6-8 reps. That’s it. The industry built a $2B problem out of a free solution

@SportsOnTheMesa I'd like more variety of offense action since its been the same since 2007

Torresani is a talented addition to the Mesa. But we’ve seen this before— SDSU had talent last year too. It just didn’t translate early. Now with even more new faces… how fast can Dutch get this group become a cohesive unit on the court? That’s what matters.

@AztecAnalytics I'm headed to Croatia in 3 weeks. Let me know who I need to recruit.

Aztecs are global 🇬🇧🇭🇷🇮🇹🇸🇸 And I don’t expect it to end there…

@chrisorzy Are you 5'9" 165 lbs? their odds of scholarship/NIL are close to 0%. You can do the same with local sports that don't travel.

Travel sports: - guaranteed family time every weekend - tour the entire country, see the sights - kids gain athletic skills and priceless memories - chance at scholarships/NIL money - kids stay out of trouble - make friends with people in town This is supposed to be “bad”?

Helping the kid who lollipop throws. With a game, of course.

Fred Wilt coined the term "plyometric" after studying Verkoshansky's methods. It translates to "more" and "measure." Essentially wanting jump training to measure more explosiveness. Previously, it was called jump training. Plyometric is just a word coined by a coach.

@ericbshaw we need to go back to 64.

@CoachWheel I really think the fans just collectively said F YOU this ain't happening. 😂

What did Europe do to prevent the super league from happening? Can we do the same for March Madness expanding?

@coachpvg Sweet.

@CoachWheel I love playing a game called Container Ball. youtu.be/Prhu5JzbS2I?si…

Wolds greatest agility game? What’s yours?

@4khudson We use 6-8 tennis balls and make a cone arc as a safety zone. No jail, tag and go back to your side and do either 5 push ups or 10 jumps. Only can carry one ball at a time.

@CoachWheel Hey coach, love it! can you explain the set up?! Rules, explanation, how many can guard the flag, etc.. Wanna use

@Brandon_L_Davis PT told a volleyball girl with knee pain to skip training with me but playing volleyball is still ok.

One of my middle schoolers got hit in lacrosse and was told by a PT he had shoulder impingement and would be out for 6-8 weeks. So we did deadhangs and scalp pulls daily and rowed him three times a week. Perfectly fine after three weeks.

@LetsRetireAt50 @CamWoodBats I personally wouldn't mess with it and let that pop come through age and natural repetition. Tennis is a great donor sport to baseball. As long as he's making great contact, the pop will come. Also, monkey bars.

Any little league or baseball coaches out there have some recommendations for my son’s swing? We’ve been working on drills from @CamWoodBats and @BasebFlowsHQ as well as games from @CoachWheel. He seems to have a nice load, level swing, forward drive but he could use some pop and more hip involvement. He’s only 7 and is 6 games into his first season of coach pitch but he’s taken to it, loves practicing, consistently makes contact. Any ideas would be appreciated! Trying to have coach @BowTiedYukon pick him up next season 😆

It’s easy to turn every moment into a lesson. But kids learn faster when it still feels like play. One small game changed everything about his slide. 10 minutes. No overcoaching. What skill do you try to coach but it’s still not improving?

@_IGI_Media_ I think this is AI based in your last few responses. If not, not every kid responds the same way. I don’t think the above situation is reality for most parents. If it is for you, that’s great

@CoachWheel I always let them tell me what frustrated them I.e. "I can't . . . " Me "Well, it's easy if you do this . . . " or I'd simply do the task they want to conquer and then he'd mimic. if there were minute adjustments he'd always be more receptive. * and yes, we too separated the 2 modes.

Play is the universal language of kids. If they ask you to play, speak their language.
