Tyler Rickard

@TailsTwisted You’re welcome 😎

Let’s go Hogs. SEC Champs.

@spence47619 @nhssca_us Thank you, coach!

@TylerRickard @nhssca_us Congrats Tyler!

Just finished up my HSSCC today. If you’re a HS strength coach, I would recommend you look into this. Self-paced, great information, thought provoking case studies/quizzes, and applicable solutions for every situation. Thanks, @nhssca_us.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

Shoutout to @hideparkapparel for the custom hats. They made for a great gift to my staff this year.

Proud of each of our boys! They rallied around one another and charged head first #IntoTheStorm 🦬

It was a GREAT day to be a Wildcat!

Soaking up the last bit of summer with Nana and Grandad at the lake.

Awesome summer for the football players! Not included in this number are the additional 10-12 non-football athletes we got every day, and our big MS crew in July. Needless to say, it’s been a great summer of training for @WCR2Athletics!

@TailsTwisted Did he also immediately get up and try to be the first one off the plan?

Oh no. My worst nightmare realized. The 5YO claps when the flight lands. We’re gonna work on this. I’ve failed.

@TailsTwisted @CervPresidente 🤣 keep the thread going

Vibes have shifted downward. 5YO is holding mother hostage for seating privileges next to her. He has notified all in the plane that he hates his dad (me). Family vacations are a special time. Dear lord let the @CervPresidente be cold in the DR.

Thank you @NPGrizzliesFB for hosting us in a joint practice today and feed us after! We always enjoy our summer match-up to sharpen our skills. We finished the day with a lift and squad challenge. #IntoTheStorm 🦬 #WrightWay

This tweet got a lot of interaction. I wanted to address a few key points to creating this model of a School-Wide Summer Training Program: 1. Hire a Qualified S&C Coordinator to be in charge of programming. Preferably one for Boys AND Girls. Pay them a stipend. 2. Pay sport coaches hourly to show up and help. Rotate them throughout the month and maximize their strengths. 3. Set a specific time (Ex. 8:00-9:30am) for training. Sports-specific work happens outside of that time. 4. Get input from sport coaches on metrics that matter most to them. Involve them in the process. 5. Build programming that addresses all key areas: Sprint, Jump, Throw, Lift. Don't just destroy them in the Weight Room. 6. Programming should reflect training age. Progress accordingly. Freshman shouldn't be Maxing out first day "to get a baseline".... 7. Record, Rank, and Publish data to show improvement to sport coaches. Adjust programming as necessary. 8. Find the Minimum Effective Dose to move the needle. If you go 2 hrs, try 1.5 hrs. If you go 4 days, try 3 days. 9. Make it fun. Create competition. It doesn't have to be a GRIND! 10. Rest and Recovery should be scheduled in systematically. 3 or 4-day weekends every week. 7-10 days off in the middle and end of summer. Kids will still get 8 training weeks. I'm working on... "The Ultimate School-Wide Summer Training Program" ...Stay tuned!

Our athletes absolutely CRUSHED it today! The energy was electric⚡️#WrightWay #IntoTheStorm 🦬

@chriscfore Kihei Caffe- Ubu Cold Brew is excellent. Pai’a Fish Market Monkeypod Non-restaurant suggestion- Go to the beach by VFW just before sunset to catch the sea turtles beach for the night at sunset. We did go in March though, so I’m not sure if they do that in June.

Heading to Kihei, HI one week from tomorrow. We've been to Maui before but not to this area of the island too much. Looking for restaurant suggestions!

Serial Winner literally changed my life. I just reread it and created a guide for anyone who doesn't have time to read the full book. Comment “WINNER” and I’ll send it! Must be following if you're DMs are closed. - @Thad Wells

I thought I had all the answers until reality punched me in the face. Our team was 2-4 and falling apart. Then I read one paragraph that completely transformed our season into a state championship run. 🧵THREAD

Congratulations Class of 2025! 6 years ago I started out as your 7th Grade Math teacher and for the last 4 I’ve been your football coach. It’s been an honor and a privilege. You are tremendous young men, and I can’t wait to see what each of you accomplish. Love you! #WrightWay

“Best day ever.” Pretty accurate way to describe our father-son camping trip to Cuivre River State Park.
