Football is one of few sports where you can come in completely raw and still be highly effective because you can physically dominate.
Most other sports have a skill barrier to entry that raw physical traits can’t compensate for.
Jeremy Toohey@Toohey_sp
This take is tiresome. You don’t get better at hyper skilled things by spreading yourself out. Other sports don’t help you hit a baseball better. Other sports don’t improve your touch in soccer. They don’t help your shot and ball handling in basketball.

“Volume” can be both the thing that hs athletes are missing and the thing that’s burning them out.
Best case scenario is there is healthy collaboration between coaches, athletes, parents, and any other parties.

@MichelleDiltz What happens when conjugate principles meet elite softball performance? 🥎

@CoachRGarner Can’t underestimate the “cool” factor.

First day using LiftBoard with the boys.
Feedback;
Easier to see the Lift and where they need to be.
Immediately know what to record
It looks “cooler“ than what we had😂
Ross Garner@CoachRGarner
Every strength coach knows the struggle Full weight room Stop watch Yelling “Rotate” every 2:00 Kids asking where to go I’m building LiftBoard to simplify it One screen. One workout. Built-in timers. Automatic round tracking. A better way to run the weight room. Coming soon

@anderson58__ And that’s not to say vbt is bad either. I actually think vbt is great. I’ve used it. Lots of great things you can do with it.
However, if given the option to have pre/post workout nutrition for a year vs nearly any type of tech, I’ll take the nutrition all day.

💯💯💯‼️‼️. 14-17 yr old kids workout for 3-4 hours a day and then go home and not eat. But can tell how fast the bar is moving on squat. 🤔

Settle down @CoachStokowski we get it 😂
Seriously though. Don’t expect to compete at the highest levels in 6-7A Georgia if you aren’t doing these things…
✅Plenty of Nutrition for athletes
✅Investing in the right technology
✅Hiring quality coaches to tie it all together

@CoachJones_CHS Would love to get an idea of how that breaks down for you guys Coach. Send me a DM

@_itscoachben For us, it’s a combination of booster club and player fees. Our football program has an operational cost. Our job to raise the funds to cover our operational costs. Nutrition is a part of that.
English
To the hs programs that do nutrition at a high level, what are your best practices?
-Booster Clubs?
-Player Fees?
-Subscriptions?
-Parent Sign Up?
-Vending Machines?
-Cafeteria?
I’ve seen/heard it done a variety of ways but every situation is different.

@CoachJones_CHS @CoachStokowski Love that! The only chance I’ve had to really spend money had to go towards equipment. Biggest single purchase was probably a Dashr laser. We also used OVR jump but those were my personal units.
English
It ain’t much, but that’s why we have our Nutrition Station. Protein shakes, protein bars, Powerade, Uncrustables, and various other snacks to fuel our athletes.
Oh, and we do dabble in the OVR and GPS world too @CoachStokowski.

@Wendi_Irlbeck Absolutely! For me there’s 2 big factors:
1. Kids aren’t eating enough
2. Kids are curbing their appetite with energy drinks and pre-workout
Kids need “easy” calories + nutrition education. One week of a 9th grade health class ain’t enough (and I’ve taught 9th grade health).
English
@_itscoachben Preaching to the choir! Nutrition is the X factor!
Wendi A. Irlbeck MS, RDN, LD, CISSN@Wendi_Irlbeck
Schools will spend millions of dollars on weight rooms, turf fields, and state-of-the-art facilities, yet many teachers, coaches, and athletic trainers remain underpaid, and nutrition education is often treated as an afterthought. “We want our student-athletes to excel in the classroom and in competition.” If that’s truly the goal, then invest in the people who are shaping them every day. Invest in: • Teachers who educate them • Coaches with proper experience and training who will safely coach them • Athletic trainers who keep them healthy • Nutrition professionals who help them grow, recover, and perform at their best Proper nutrition is not a luxury. It is foundational to growth, development, recovery, injury prevention, immune function, and academic and athletic performance. “We’ve always done it this way.” Maybe so. But if there is a better way one that improves student-athlete health, performance, and long-term well-being why wouldn’t we embrace it? If you care about your student-athletes, you should care for the professionals who care for them. 🤷♀️

@Coach_Rowland_ Easier said than done but you’re definitely right.
English
@_itscoachben Just requires buy-in and understanding. Once you have that, everything becomes easier.

@CoachStokowski @perchFit @catapultsports @Plyomat @OVRPerformance @Performance_GHS Elite stuff coach 🫡 I’d imagine it’s not just S&C but coaches, admin, and community that’s invested in the mission too. Respect!

When doing your big compound lifts, there needs to be some “standing around” between sets. Not a heavy back squat in a giant set consisting of 4 exercises. just to “keep the kids busy.”
English
@Brandon_L_Davis I can agree with that.
Quality OTA’s are like super practices.
There’s always gonna be room quality conditioning.
Anything near the volume and intensity of a real game you’ll ideally want a day off. Most teams take off the Saturday after a game for a reason.
English
@_itscoachben My hot take is by order of value of conditioning:
OTA’s
Small number of 7v7 games or doing them before the weekend
Quality conditioning
Traditional conditioning
3+ 7v7 games early in the week where your recovery is smoked and the rest of the week sucks
English
This is why I say many S&C’s have lost their coach’s eye and have been blinded by data.
HR + GPS provides objective data on what happened, but your eye tells you why and how.
“We averaged X HR, covered Y yardage, and averaged Z MPH.”
Cool cool, but your conditioning plan sucks
Brandon Davis, CSCS@Brandon_L_Davis
@les7spellman @AltamontXCTF I’d be interested to see the difference in the same activities performed with the same W:R in practice vs games just to see the effect of psychological stress. Same way pitchers average 160+ BPM for the inning despite how much time is spent “recovering”
English
@Brandon_L_Davis Absolutely. Totally different headspace for a HS kid is they aren’t exposed to enough full contact football and are conditioned to just tag off. No amount of running can fully prepare you for someone else wanting to run through your face.
English
@_itscoachben 7v7 is really interesting in general. I think the combination of stakes being lower and no one caring about losing + no fans, knowing it’s always a pass play, and not worrying about contact really detract from the psychological aspects
English
@Brandon_L_Davis Strange how despite the rise of 7v7 popularity (and the volume that comes with that), coaches are more worried than ever about “being in shape” by the time the season gets here. My theory is also psychological. Not enough hard things are happening in the name of optimization.
English
Your MHP and yardage variables weren’t the result of running in a straight line at relaxed speeds.
Your HR data was far more influenced by psychological stress than physiological.
You’ve created a 1:1 match between data sets with 0 correlation to how the game data happened.
English
Your pre-game script should closely resemble your pre-practice script.
Dynamics, RPR, Indy, PUP, ROA, Skelly, Pods, Half-Line, 5on4, ST or whatever it is that you like to do; routine is so important.
If it works 4/5 days a week, why do something totally different on gameday?
Coach Speak@coachspeak_pod
Name a football opinion that’ll have you like this…
English
Catching a heavy power clean is a really underrated way to add more contact prep in a weight room setting.
Something about that sharp power catch that I think is under appreciated.
English
You need two coaches watching the OL at all times.
