Coach K

@CoachNoon45 @uiltexas @OfficialTHSADA @THSCAcoaches Have the S&C coaches get their CSCS!!!!

@uiltexas @OfficialTHSADA @THSCAcoaches we require coaches to have various certifications for their sport, so why don’t we require certifications for coaches who run the S&C for their campus or sports? Just because you like to workout doesn’t mean you’re qualified to do that role

Private skill trainers who know their high school kids are training six days a week with their high school program and push them to come do extra skill sessions at night/after Saturday games/on Sundays are negligent. It’s no surprise how injured / beat up and physically underdeveloped our kids are.

@JohnKruk @j_nothdurft Kruk! I'll be down March 7-14... gonna hit up a Phillies game. Can ee grab a beer or three??

@j_nothdurft I live down here

I’m also quite impressed @JohnKruk made it to spring training. I assume he drove to Florida.

@Simon_Ingari Bad leadership also creates environmental conflicts, which can also lead to good people leaving an organization.

A manager fired a team member for “poor performance.” He listened silently, thanked the manager, and left. Two hours later, the manager discovered that he had been doing the work of three people, and no one had noticed. The next day, while reviewing the spreadsheet, the manager realized the mistake. It wasn’t poor performance. It was the manager’s negligence. The manager went after him and apologized. He didn’t come back—and he was right not to. There isn’t always time to fix things. Bad leadership leads to more dismissals than any crisis.

The weight room is the most influential room in a school. It’s not a place to hang out — it’s a classroom. A place where habits are built, standards are set, and character is developed.

@LSscribe @CVHSJags @azc_preps Coach Carranza is the GOAT!! first Sierra Linda and now CV a dynasty! Truly a culture changer and a role model!! congrats Coach!

@pbasilstrength 💯.. we do that for the track team on days they aren't already training! they come in shifts based on when they finish their practice. 15-20 minutes a few movements 2-3 sets 3-5 reps. good stuff @Coach_Carter34

Are Short Workouts Worth Doing? "We only have 15 minutes to lift after practice, is it even worth it?" You bet it is. The key is prioritizing your most effective training tools and trimming away all the fluff. Picture This Players come straight to the weight room from the field or court. They can jump right into strength training without needing an extensive dynamic warm-up routine since they're already warm. All they need is two to four strength exercises paired with something explosive. For example, a single set of heavier trap bar deadlifts coupled with box jumps, followed by two sets each of dumbbell bench presses and chin-ups will get it done. It could look like this: A: Trap Bar Deadlift - Work to a top set of 3 at 75-80% B: Box Jump - 2x3 C: DB Push Press - 3x5 D: TX Row: - 3x8 About 10-12 total sets. Do this 2x per week right after practice and you will retain strength and power. The hard part is accepting that even volume that low can be effective.

@CoachShiffman @Coach_Carter34 Two things can be true!! Qualified by experience of the practice of coaching and learning. Certified by the NSCA... CSCS @DST_Hayden

Totally agree. On the flip side just because you didn't play at a high level doesn't mean you can't coach. Hell, some of the best coaches never even played the sport at any level past High School or College.

@MarkHoover71 @MatthewAmburge2 agree 💯

And I will take this one further…just because you are a winning sport coach doesn’t mean you have any expertise in speed development or training for performance. Making teenage males “strong” is essentially a low skill needed activity. Kids are so resilient. You can be awful at it and if they are good athletes or you’re a great sport coach…it will be fine. Until you need more than fine to win. Literally some of the absolute worst programs I have seen are run by head coaches who have won a bunch of games lol. The combination of that type of coach with a professional performance coach can be a ticket to some high level success.

I’ll die on this hill. JUST BECAUSE YOU PLAYED A SPORT AT A HIGH LEVEL DOESN’T MEAN YOU CAN COACH IT! Argue with a spoon!

People always ask what makes DST different. Truth is, we don't run some cookie-cutter program and call it a day. We actually sit down and figure out what matters right now for each kid or athlete. 8-12 year olds? We're building rock-solid movement patterns, confidence, and genuine love for the process—no rushing into early specialization that burns kids out before they even hit high school. High school crew? Speed, power, injury-proofing, and position-specific work to get them noticed. College & pros? Fine-tuning the details that separate good from elite—recovery, velocity, durability when the season grinds. The coolest part? We've watched some of these same athletes roll through our doors as little 10-year-olds with big dreams... and now they're out there living those dreams at the professional level. Same kid, same work ethic, just leveled up year after year because we met them where they were and kept pushing the target forward. If you're serious about long-term growth hit us up. Youth to the show, we've been doing this for 15+ years. 💪 #DSTfamily #BuiltDifferent"

Don’t wish away today chasing tomorrow. ATHLETES: Play because you love it. Not for the rankings. Not for the scholarships. Not for the applause. One day you'll look back and realize the "little" moments were actually the best ones. #PureAthlete #YouthSports #YouthBaseball #Baseball #BusterPosey #ParentingAdvice

@educator4ever36 For the same reason we don't put algebra, geometry and trig students in the same math classes... @MarkHoover71. We differentiate in the weight room way more than in an academic core class. I do like the majority of your posts BTW.

To my coach football coach friends- if an English teacher is expected to differentiate for a class where readers are anywhere from 3rd grade level to high school level, and the math teach has to do the same, why can’t the weight lifting teacher do the same in his class? Why do we have to segregate the FB team into their own class?

@brandon_love200 @Burritoexp 🤷🏽‍♂️

@Burritoexp Maybe @K1Strength can make it if you still need a guy

Let's go!!!!

@Jeremybtc Where would you put Bulova and/or Tudor on your list compared to cars? Tudor like a Cadillac and Bulova like infinity or Acura?

If you don’t know much about watches, here’s a simple way to understand them: Rolex = Mercedes Benz Omega = BMW Patek Philippe = Rolls Royce Audemars Piguet = Ferrari Richard Mille = Bugatti Grand Seiko = Lexus IWC = Porsche Tudor = Genesis Casio / G-Shock = Toyota Apple Watch = Tesla

@Brady_Quinn Boo hoo Brady.. tell your team to get in a conference and not lose to Miami

There wasn’t any logic waiting to move UM ahead of ND if Conf championship game outcomes are inconsequential. If Head to head was a factor, you had it all year. This isn’t a serious committee. It’s a made for TV event. Expand and get rid of the committee. BCS was a better formula. For ND, you now know 11-1 is the worst you can do to secure a spot in this current playoff format.

The @NFL is a bad product as the refs are horrific. All three games the refs have made it about them. Zay Flowers didn't push off... boo to the refs. @gannon_coach

@CoachLimegrover @CoachKerryon happy birthday Matt!

@CoachKerryon Honest question. How many of the scholarship guys in your RB room this fall had camped with you?

If you are a HS player and want to play for me in the future....I will need to see you AT CAMP IN THE SUMMER....98% of the time I will sign a guy that camped....if you go to a G5 camp instead of mine in the summer....I will not be available for you in the late fall 😅

@coachrhiguera @TheRealMHSFB @SpiceBoy408 @CaliBloodLine81 No doubt he is one of the best! Happy for Coach Seb!!!

@TheRealMHSFB @SpiceBoy408 @CaliBloodLine81 Hands down one of the best in the business to get things done the right way! Congrats to The Vale on getting this done!

Can’t wait to get started! #TheVale #SNWY #WNV

See all the cool commercials that the @FedEx guy brings the ring to the beach and fights off snakes... but @FedExHelp can't call out to the back yard... my garage door open so I'm obviously home to sign for a package... thanks 😔
