Most coaches don’t need more information.
They need better thinking.
Your plan looks perfect on paper.
Then real athletes happen:
fatigue, chaos, schedule changes, noisy data, different responses, and all the usual mess.
That is where coaching actually begins.
Agile Periodization: Philosophical Foundations is a 10+ hour course on the mental models behind better coaching decisions:
🗺️ Map vs Territory
⚖️ Robust vs Optimal
🧭 Explore vs Exploit
🏎️ Substance vs Form
🛠️ Tools, not Truths
🔁 Iterative Planning
📊 Bayesian Updating
Not abstract philosophy.
Practical tools for thinking, judging, adapting, and coaching under uncertainty.
7 modules. 10+ hours. €49.

It's your choice to surround yourself with negative, energy draining people and to let them influence you.
English
You need variation so the system (the athlete) has a stimulus to respond to
This includes more weight, more time under load, different form of the exercise, or an accommodating resistance (bands, chains) to name a few
No change = no adaptation
English
Stop thinking in terms of rules
Start thinking in terms of parameters
we are all playing with lines in the sand

@ZacGoodman_ Thanks for the talk Coach
Excited to get this rolling 💪

On a consult with a coach this morning, we literally talked through exact progressions for his athletes so he can run this forever if he wanted to.
I told him, it’s kind of like investing. If you understand index funds and self-cleansing markets, you can win forever.
This is that.
English
If you just learned exactly how to run the OG BMT Wave, you’d never even have to learn another thing about programming for Strength.
You’d always have Strong athletes that are fresh and explosive.
You’d also have something repeatable forever. I’ll lay it out below.

Unfortunately we live in an environment where we are having to reverse engineer skill acquisition. CLA should be an inherent staple in all athletes youth development due to playing in all types of pickup games against all types of different ages, in different size pitches, etc.
JOGO FUNCIONAL@JOGOFUNCIONAL1
Pochettino explains skill acquisition in 74 seconds “I didn’t learn the game from coaches, I learned it from playing with friends in the street” “There I developed my technical capacity & my emotional intelligence ” This has been lost in the new generation of footballer

@WSWayland So many of my middle schoolers struggle with the hinge
This is great - will be trying it out
English
Some people find the hinge faster in a wide stance. It can work as a coaching tool. Wider stance makes it much harder to bend the knee and reduces moment arm.

@Kirthan_gooner2 @eurofootcom Mourinho gets to comment on it but it’s a dumb and ignorant take so it should be called out. Vinicius should be able to celebrate without being racially abused.
English
@eurofootcom Were you with Eusebio? Why do you get to comment on it and Mourinho doesn’t?
English
🗣️ Vincent Kompany: "Do you know what black players had to go through in the 1960s? Was he (Mourinho) there to travel with Eusebio to every away game?"
"Probably at the time the only option they had was to be quiet, to say nothing, be above it and to be 10 times better in order to get a little bit of credit for people to say 'actually, he is good'. That was Eusebio's life." @BBCSport
English
@AgarthaSid @SeedOilDsrspctr Yes, and overall loads have increased substantially. Youth, college, and pro athletes have way more game and practice volume nowadays. But yeah it’s the seed oils
English
@SeedOilDsrspctr Hate seed oils. But players running, jumping and turn way harder at greater velocities and frequencies than before is a huge factor here.
English
ACL tears were actually very rare before seed oils and lipid peroxidation damage of connective tissues.
West Point Football players didn’t have them often back in the day.
Then soybean oil came along…
Ryan Haber@Itshaber
Just finished watching Game Of Thrones for the first time.. Something I can't stop thinking about; How many warriors during the medieval times died in battle because they tore their ACL on the battlefield/charging into battle?

Reminds me of when Emre said some racist words to Didier Zokora, in the next match between their teams, almost every member of Zokora's team gave Emre the most bone crunching tackle possible.
They tried to literally kick the racism out of football

🚨💣 BREAKING: Gianluca Prestianni is set to travel with Benfica next week for their Champions League second leg against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. Despite the tense atmosphere expected in Madrid, the young Argentine is prepared to face the challenge. Benfica are also ready to submit a formal report to FIFA if the situation inside the stadium crosses the line. [@topskillsportuk]

Someday everyone will be doing it (because it gives a competitive advantage).

Curt Cignetti has a fascinating philosophy...don't waste anyone's time, coaches not expected to work nights just get work done, limited practice to keep players healthy
English
So common to see coaches thinking they’re the most important person in the sport or weights setting
You are a resource for the athlete not vice versa
The athlete is the most important agent in their journey to mastery
Meet them where they’re at and help them perform
English
If you program for yourself and are in a rut then stop programming for you self
Buy a program from a coach you know or a friend in the coaching world and run it to completion
Good way to learn and not nocebo yourself into under training

Get your X's and O's down as a coach first and lay your foundation
after that focus on relationships and culture
- clear and concise communication
- energy
- coaching each athlete as an individual
- be there for them
this is how you get results
