Leonardo da Vinci invented the self supporting bridge between 1485-1487 This is how it works

@movementcoachkm Love big John Murphy!!!

Really worth a listen if you are interested in sharpening up your games based approach and practice design

@Mr_davisj The exact reason why injures continue to rise in the field. Most coaches can’t move nor have they ever. Might as well just play computer games!

Hot Take The strength and conditioning field would be much better off if coaches admit they program the way they like to train. This would let us know certain metrics and data is bias and more honest about who we choose to follow

The S&C echo chamber is just pure gold!

@TKPhysPrep Gold!

There’s some gem presentations by Val Nasedkin on YouTube! Stuff you can gain a ton of info from. Can’t recommend it enough youtu.be/j-GelxeMbpQ?si…

Some people make mistakes and others learn from people who already made them! This is one you want to watch! youtu.be/KVUMLFvu_O8?si…

@TKPhysPrep THANK YOU! Read a book people.

When people talk “Decel” training they seem to rarely talk about the values in horizontal jumps, skips and bounding. These underutilized tools are imo better options than any banded horizontal decel exercise

@ALTIS @CoachZJ be ready. It will be affordable

@spikesonly Love this!

New Tech - Just old ideas repackaged Don't stress if you feel your sprint profiles don't look sexy. 50 years ago we knew that step velocity, length, and frequency mattered & could track this using available technology. Are we trying to win or look good on social media?

Guess the team….MENTAL!

@carmenbott OMG THIS IS SO GOOD!!!

With deceleration on trend at the moment as the current shiny object….whats coming next? 🤯

@DNeill62 Real recognise real!

A good physique is a cheat code as a strength coach. It’s hard for guys to listen to a coach tell them how to get jacked when he doesn’t look the part. Physique isn’t the primary focus of a good S&C program, but for most athletes it’s the way they judge weight room success.

@mboyle1959 Just some will do! If you’re maintaining strength residuals week 30…well you aren’t ha ha

@SPORTLAND_TNF So a little less strength work, a little more ( or any) speed work?

So if @mboyle1959 has been taking flack for over 15 years about general training on 1 leg or 2 legs. What hope do I have to get team sport programs to do a little less of that and prioritise training efforts to build speed on the field. So we can practice better?

Ps. Coach Boyle. You’re right 👊🏻

Harsh Truth...Why Most Athletes Will Never Get Faster youtu.be/uAW12fG3L9g

@mboyle1959 @StrCoachNetwork @Huntereis_sc @coachmikesully1 @MollyBinetti Oh wow….long time! What a clip!

@SPORTLAND_TNF @StrCoachNetwork @Huntereis_sc @coachmikesully1 @MollyBinetti Probably since I publicly stated that I didn’t think the squat was a leg exercise in 2009 The dreaded Death of Squatting clip. PS- I didn’t name it that. youtu.be/jYuQOijliac?si…

Single leg squat vs double leg squat is a false dichotomy. Anyone who tells you to only do one is wrong.Yes, Coach Boyle that does include you. With all due respect, back squats should not be made to be a villain. I am glad you made people realize the importance of single leg squatting - but it did not need to come at the cost of the back squat. I still love you coach. For the full video that finally puts this SL or DL argument to bed: youtube.com/watch?v=iyU6kU…

@mboyle1959 @StrCoachNetwork @Huntereis_sc @coachmikesully1 @MollyBinetti Coach, how long have you been hit with this argument?

@StrCoachNetwork Like I always say, everyone is entitled to an opinion. Yours won’t change mine. 😉It’s funny, I listened to two podcasts recently with four good young coaches. @Huntereis_sc @coachmikesully1 @MollyBinetti Cam Ringstad. All four were not high on the back squat. Coincidence? ❤️

@mboyle1959 PREACH!

There are too many parrots 🦜 in our profession and not enough thinker / analyzer types. 🤔
