The irony when parents, kids and coaches tell me they don’t have time for the weights, yet have endless time do to skill work, all in preparation to face an opponent who is 50lbs heavier and much more physical. Yes skills are needed. But not at the expense of physical development.

Organizations will spend 100s of thousand of dollars on fancy technologies but won’t load the athlete. What are you monitoring if they don’t train? “Can’t have 100 dollar shoes with a dollar squat” Louie Simmons

We went out & obtained jumps tests with @SFLHSBoysBball this week. Head Strength Coach, @BBonte was wanting to look at their readiness going into post-season play. Some great numbers were captured. They are ready.

Things you THINK are improving your performance but are massively overrated: (Team sport athletes) 1. Sand training 2. Speed ladders 3. Constant 1 rep max lifts 4. Miles of running 5. Bodybuilding splits 6. CrossFit workouts 7. “Ab finishers.” 8. Training until exhaustion

Few yrs ago a national camp used lasers across the country and this is what the results were: 716 participates The Average HS 40 was: 5.20 Fastest 40: 4.556 4.3: 0 4.4: 0 4.5: 1 (4.556 fastest time) 4.6: 15 4.7: 31 4.8: 57 4.9: 81 Total under 5.0 = 185 out of 716

This isn’t a kid problem This is a HS Coach, Trainer, Rivals, Under Armor, etc camp problem 🤥 The reason kids think they run 4.4 is bc their coaches / trainers tell them that It’s the adults who are lying to kids

Lifting weights is associated with better academic performance.

Increasing Relative Strength is the PRIMARY driver of Speed in underdeveloped athletes. They simply don’t have access to enough force to propel their current body mass. Young athletes NEED the Weightroom. Non-negotiable for Speed.

A lot of great benefits to a Waterfall Sprint! Especially in a big group. ▪️Reaction ▪️Chasing / Being Chased ▪️Repeatability for conditioning preparing for Spring Practice ▪️Competition = Intent ⬆️ Don’t have to time every sprint to get faster. Not always logical nor efficient given time & group size considerations.

The quality of your coaching is FAR more important than your programming. a well coached simple plan is more effective than a poorly coached complex plan

100% in agreement.

Weight room.

One of the most competitive & hardest-working athletes that I have been around.
