Wrote this piece 5 years ago, but the message still applies as not much has changed in Canada as not all Universities/Colleges have a full-time S&C, and those of us in our role can always be better in these areas. Food for thought in 2026. canadianstrengthca.com/why-isolate-wh…

As we get closer to training camps, the time for S&C Coaches to once again "sell themselves" to their athletes & coaches is upon us. Here is how I take a sales-based approach to build trust, respect & commitment from my crew. @SimpliFaster simplifaster.com/articles/sales…

Missed NatCon and want a summary of the info I shared? This article I wrote for @SimpliFaster sums it up pretty nicely. Enjoy! simplifaster.com/articles/find-…

Massive honour going from being an undergrad watching HOURS of @NSCA NatCon lectures to getting to be one of the presenters this year. Great event. Great people. Great opportunity.

As a coach, we fail all the time. In fact, the reason most of us are coaches is because we failed (at being a pro athlete). But instead of seeing that as a weakness, we need to see it as our strength. @SimpliFaster Here's how: simplifaster.com/articles/fail-…

Only in a performance setting do you see males doing hip thrusts and glute work and females hitting arms and shoulders. Love it.

Recycle Monday! PARENTS- Listen Up! Yes, playing multiple sports is important for overall motor learning, sports skill, fun, and longevity BUT most of us do it wrong. Read more below! thecsca.ca/the-wrong-way-…

Rise above.

Always honoured to have @SimpliFaster publish my thoughts. Enjoy!

2 weeks out until I’m on stage presenting at NatCon… You coming?? @NSCA nsca.com/nscacon?gad_so…

Recycle Monday! In case you missed my article last week, here it is. Highly recommend diving in, especially if you or someone in your life is looking to play at the University level. Important things to know! simplifaster.com/articles/what-…

NEW ARTICLE! (Shoutout @SimpliFaster ) Being an Athlete in Uni isn't easy. Only 7% of HS athletes go on to play after. If you are one of the lucky ones to get that chance (or your son or daughter is), then be prepared for what is to come. simplifaster.com/articles/what-…

Fun little project with @SimpliFaster demonstrating how to use the Brower Timing Gates. If you are in the market for some timing gates or you have these and aren’t sure how to use them (or use them to their full extent) check out this quick video of me! youtu.be/tuO73lwcGFE?si…

Recycle Monday! In case you missed it last week, here is my latest podcast episode chatting about the Sparta Score, my Internship, and some other training related thoughts. Enjoy! open.spotify.com/episode/2FnaVQ…

NEW PODCAST INTERVIEW! Great chat with my guy Josh Bray on the Sparta Score, Internships, the state of the industry, and a whole bunch of else. Enjoy! open.spotify.com/episode/2FnaVQ…

@homegymcoop I just visited their space a month ago. It’s incredible. One of the best spaces I’ve ever been in (and I visit a lot)

NFL weight rooms can’t hold a candle to the top University weight rooms. College sports use their locker rooms and weight rooms as recruitment tools for players and donor dollars. Pro teams just want their players happy and healthy with a nice ROI on the investment.

With everyone in Basketball mode as the NBA Finals are set, wanted to share one of my BBall podcast episodes for Recycle Monday to stay with the theme! Enjoy! podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/str…

Recycle Monday! In case you missed my podcast episode on FAITH (not S&C) with Words of Encouragement, here it is again. Enjoy! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/str…

Do you need to have played the sport you are coaching? No. Is it helpful to know the lingo, nuances, and feel of the sport? Yes. But all this can be accomplished with a little bit of extra learning time... simplifaster.com/articles/stren…
