@MarcMangiacotti Thanks for having me coach!!!

3rd Annual Ascent T&F Clinic at Harvard is in the books‼️

@DavidJohnsonQB Will agree to disagree. Block periodization training model would tell you different. Not just speed, body compliance, acceleration, improving hit stick, energy system development, recruiting quick twich fibers, and changing the characteristics of those slow fibers to quick.

@SprintersCompen The game of football isn’t detailed around running the fastest. It’s that simple. Speed can help but it doesn’t win games nor does it develop what’s needed to win a championship. Basketball and Soccer teaches Start, Stop, Accel and Deceleration. Wrestling is better too!!

Running Track is OVERRATED in relation to football!!

It's always a great time breaking bread with Ascent leader Renny Waldron and super coach @PfaffSC!! I am excited to work with some dedicated high school kids and coaches @HarvardTFXC. @MarcMangiacotti @kebbat, and Brenner are rock stars!

Responding to a coach who said we have gone soft if we celebrate the improvement of our 20th or slower kid. Man let me tell you something. facebook.com/share/v/1EkFnv…

The Trainer's Companion will be a large book! Over 500 pages of data to help you plan & execute workouts! @WorldAthletics @ITCCCA @WISTCA @BrendanThompsn @DisrespectedThe @mtccca #fasterandstronger

World Athletics is deeply saddened to hear that world-renowned Jamaican sprint coach Stephen Francis died on Saturday (4) at the age of 64. Francis dedicated his life to the development of athletics in Jamaica, helping to guide stars such as Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Asafa Powell and Shericka Jackson to multiple Olympic and world medals.

@HelmetMissouri @GSV_STL I believe they should go back to the late 90s early 2000 conference alignments.

Genuine question for my STL Suburban Conference people. Why not just a straight-up, European soccer style, promotion/relegation each year? Top team from each division in the conference goes up the next year. Bottom team from each goes down. What are the drawbacks I'm not thinking of? School/class size? Travel? Scheduling? #DeadWeekThoughts @GSV_STL @MissouriScoop

If I send you this, it means we won again. @FIFAWorldCup #usasoccer @USMNT
