What happens when someone has coached at nearly every level of sport? You get conversations like this. In this clip, Coach Keith Belton shares two ideas coaches needs to hear: • Sports science is not about validating us as coaches. • Great leadership isn't built with unlimited resources. It's built by serving the people in front of you. But that's just a small part of our conversation. Keith has coached Heisman Trophy winners, NFL players, NBA athletes, Olympians, and national championship teams. If you want the full conversation click below: youtube.com/watch?v=6VAiED…

The best performance teams don't act like separate departments. With experience spanning the U.S. Air Force and collegiate athletics, Whitney Lee, MS, AT, LAT, CSCS has seen firsthand what separates good performance teams from great ones. Her answer? Collaboration. Whitney shares how she intentionally works alongside her strength coach—going through rehab exercises together, learning together, and building trust together. Instead of saying, "That's not my job," her mindset is: "How do we get this athlete better?" That's where the magic happens. When athletic trainers, strength coaches, and sports medicine professionals stop working in silos and start solving problems together, athletes receive better care and better outcomes. One team. One athlete. One goal. This clip is a great reminder that the best high-performance environments aren't built on job titles—they're built on collaboration.

One of my favorite quotes on exactly how I think! Has been in my last few presentations and will continue to be relevant to me moving forward. Be on the lookout for this presentation to launch on @StrCoachNetwork this week 👀

Real athletic development doesn't happen overnight. One of our favorite moments from this week's Supertraining in a Year discussion was Yosef Johnson explaining how he sets expectations with athletes and parents. 🏃 Around 30 days, the athlete begins to notice small improvements. 👨‍👩‍👦 Around 60 days, parents start seeing the difference. 👀 Around 90 days, everyone else begins to notice. In a world obsessed with instant results, it's a great reminder that meaningful progress takes consistency, patience, and quality coaching. This episode also dives into some incredible concepts from Supertraining, including: • Why PNF is much more than stretching • The story behind Mel Siff's work on non-impact plyometrics • Different eccentric training methods and how they simply add more tools to a coach's toolbox Thank you to everyone who has been following along with Supertraining in a Year each week. We'll be taking a 3-week break before returning on August 15 with Rick Brunner. For more than 31 years, Rick has helped over 1,500 explosive athletes and their coaches improve reaction, acceleration, maximal speed, striking force, and power endurance across football, baseball, basketball, hockey, track & field, Olympic weightlifting, and more. Drawing from decades of collaboration with Soviet and Russian sport scientists, Rick has a unique ability to translate complex research into practical coaching strategies that can be applied immediately. We're excited to kick off the next chapter of the series with one of the most knowledgeable coaches in the field.

Basketball isn't football. It isn't track. And it shouldn't be trained like either one. After 15 years in Division I basketball, Mark Mitchell has learned that great coaching isn't about being loyal to one system—it's about being loyal to your athletes. That means using any tool that helps them adapt to the demands of the sport. 🏀 Traditional strength training to build bigger, stronger athletes. 🌍 Applied Functional Science to improve movement in all three planes. 💪 Strongman work to build work capacity and resilience. 🩸 BFR to improve efficiency during training and recovery. 🔵 ViPR PRO, flywheels, JBells, weight releasers, and whatever else helps create the right adaptation. As Mark says, be principle-based, not method-based. The method can change. The principles shouldn't. Full convo here: youtu.be/Ozv0BgcfxVk

Don't let this exercise disappear from your program. A lot of coaches are doing single-leg RDLs. A lot of coaches are doing GHRs. But are you still including single-leg hip extensions (or back extensions)? This is a simple way to train the posterior chain unilaterally while challenging the glutes, hamstrings, and even the groin. The progression is easy: ➡️ Feet farther back = easier ➡️ Feet and hips farther forward = harder Concentric. Isometric. Eccentric. Dynamic reversal. Pick the variation that fits your athletes. Just don't let this movement get away from your program.

Increase contact time and length? Interesting. We have found the same for a long time with @SHREDmillSpeed and other devices. Been working it for years. So amazing to hear an amazing coach like Ken Clark explain it better.

Yesterday, @KenClarkSpeed published a new paper analyzing 0-10m acceleration in 24 elite American sprinters (51 Olympic/World Championship medals combined). Today, here's one coaching takeaway: Don't coach 30 athletes every rep. Pick ONE technical focus. Watch FIVE athletes. Coach that detail. Repeat. He also explains why longer contact distances in team sport athletes aren't automatically a flaw.

Thanks @philbushee for that insight on commerical gyms. However, more of them are having SSBs. Also, this tip was designed for coaches working in high school, college, pro, tactical, or private S&C - all of which commonly have SSBs. And the idea was use this same piece of equipment while you have it out. So do some squats with it, some SL movement, some @alex_natera run isos, and end with these calf raises.

Just put a pad on the smith machine or a barbell since most commercial gyms won’t have a SSB

CALVES ARE THE LOWER BODY BICEPS! In all seriousness the foot and ankle complex is extremely important in sprint speed. @davidgreyrehab has presented inside the network talking about foot and ankle rehab. Members go watch that presentation. We are also having @Doctor_Legs Emily Splichal put together a new SCN webinar on the foot and ankle complex. This webinar will be avaliable for members soon. A new webinar will be added next week as @kylejacksic put together an SCN original on the Spinal Engine. We will let you know when that episode drops. Shout out to Greg Baker and Jon Lynch for sharing how they train knee bent calf raises. And shout out Brian Hess showing Justin this exercise. @jake_tuura has talked about training knee bent calf strength with respect to this research titled: Plantarflexion weakness exists before calf muscle or Achilles tendon injuries in professional rugby union players. bjsm.bmj.com/content/58/Sup… And shout out @power_lift for this SSB!

@jake_tuura The selective weakness of soleus in endurance runners doesn't mean that a seated calf raise is necessarily. Soleus can be trained well in a standing calf raise.

Formidable seated calf option when there’s no seated calf machine.

Some companies want you to believe that using individual athlete profiles makes force plate testing slow and complicated. This video shows that's simply not true. It took 30 seconds to get the system up and running, and less than 10 seconds to switch to a new athlete profile and test the next athlete. So when you see marketing that compares "4 steps vs. 9 steps," ask yourself: What are those extra steps actually accomplishing? They're not fluff. They're what make the data useful. By selecting the correct athlete, every test is automatically saved to their profile. That means no sorting through anonymous results later, no manual data entry, and no wondering whose jump belongs to whom. Instead, you have an organized athlete database that allows you to monitor progress, compare testing sessions, evaluate return-to-play, identify fatigue, and make better coaching decisions over time. Those few extra seconds during testing actually save coaches time on the back end. As coaches, we shouldn't optimize for saving seven seconds if it means sacrificing the ability to analyze and interpret athlete performance over weeks, months, and years. The measurement is only the beginning. The real value comes from what you can do with the data afterward. One last thing... Some companies proudly advertise that it takes 15 seconds to use their force plates. You just watched Justin be connected the system, swtich from on athlete to another athlete's profile, and be ready to test the next athlete in less time than that. Fast is great. Fast and organized is even better!
