HCSports Performance

Here are some PRs from the end of my offseason. @Whitehouse_P284 @HCSportsPerform @PB_Uncommitted

I hit a new PR of 40.2 Inches on my Vert yesterday!

Pete Fick, who retired as the state's all-time winningest #NJSoftball coach when he departed Hunterdon Central, passed away Feb. 2. A great coach and a very nice man who was a pleasure to cover. My thoughts are with his family @HCRHSAthletics @goHCsoftball mycentraljersey.com/story/sports/h…

Ill have more tomorrow on the passing of the legendary #NJSoftball mentor, who retired as the state's all-time winningest coach @HCRHSAthletics

Hunterdon/Warren/Sussex boys basketball semifinals, final score: Hunterdon Central 59, Phillipsburg 52.

Success leaves clues! My fastest athletes are always STRONG compared to their bodyweight in the reverse lunge. Exact correlation? Probably not, things rarely are… but success leaves clues. Want to get faster? Get strong in movements like this ⬆️📈

Al Pacino’s locker room speech in Any Given Sunday still gives full-body goosebumps. He delivered it in one uninterrupted take, and the cast said the room went silent because it felt like a real coach speaking. One of the great sports monologues ever shot.

Don’t forget that Mox made nascar tempo mainstream.

Three of the best minutes of James Vanderbeek as he is reunited with QB1 and Billy Bob.

James Van Der Beek has a message for parents. He was much wiser than I thought. RIP James

“Let’s be hero’s” RIP

@missyMmcbeth Going to use these

Hurdle Approach Jump

James Van Der Beek’s final message to the world is one of the most powerful things I have ever heard. Stop whatever you are doing and listen to this! 🥺

I’ve said this before and I’ll say this again The two best potential ADs in a building are the Athletic Trainers and S&C Coaches 1. They have to work with everyone/communicate 2. Building relationships/buy in is key 3. Used to doing behind the scenes work that goes unnoticed

Kid showed up 10 minutes late to practice last Thursday. Freshman. Third week on the team. Still learning how everything works. I didn't say anything. Just moved the practice forward without him. He jogged up, quiet, and slid into the back of the group. Everyone kept moving. During the cool-down, I saw two of our leaders pull him aside by the fence. Couldn't hear what they said. Didn't need to. Just watched them talk — calm, serious, no raised voices. The kid nodding. Listening. Thursday afternoon, 4:47 PM, my phone buzzes: "Won't happen again, Coach. My bad." I never tell new coaches this is what's possible because they don't believe me. They think you have to enforce everything. Make the call on every situation. Be the one who holds the line. But when your architecture is clear — when everyone understands what the goal demands — the team regulates itself. Those leaders weren't doing me a favor. They were protecting something they built. I don't police alignment. The standard does.
