Energy, power, speed. These are the primary ingredients. The recipe of when and how much is where results are cemented.

Training thought process: Increase the gas tank while increasing fuel efficiency and decreasing friction.

Don’t settle for your potential.

“Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation.” -Saint Augustine

One of the best signs of an effective training program is a slight decrease in performance. Training is an investment that pays dividends after proper rest and recovery.

REM Sleep: When you learn (“download”) tasks you trained for. Mental. Slow Wave: When your body is physically repairing from training/life. Sleep = investment. No Sleep= liability.

“Plans are useless but planning is indispensable” - Dwight Eisenhower When annual/monthly/weekly planning for sport, we can start with the end in mind. They build on each other. We can begin to make better decisions based on our defined direction.

Data, physics, & mathematics Great for developing the coaches eye. You can iterate, test, & develop. Without data and quantitative measures, the coaches eye can turn into dogmatic coaching practice. Athletes should get better with a coach. Not in spite of.

Systems beat schemes The training system beats the cool new exercise on IG The nutrition system will be more advantageous than diet hopping Your recovery system of adequate sleep and load management will outcompete massage guns and compressions Iterate on the basics

Manage your energy. Knowing when to go is just as important as knowing when to slow. In performance, many times the best intervention is none at all.

Most athlete issues in regards to physical and skill development boil down to logistics and energy management. We are not unlimited supplies of energy. We have to manage, allocate, then redistribute. Going full speed every day sounds good. Until you can’t.

Outstanding performance by Trinity Prep (NV) @djfromveg this evening in the win vs Our Savior (NY) @TarkClassic Could be the best PG in the country 🏀👀 reminds me of Eric Bledsoe & passes better @trigonis30 @PangosAACamp @RonMFlores @bigcityhoops2 @TyeJ25

At Bishop Gorman watching Trinity (NV) guard Daishen Nix as he takes on Our Savior. Big bodied guard with a ton of off the dribble game. Impressive passing instincts at 6-5.

Back at the Tarkanian Classic after some G League Showcase action. Trinity Prep taking on Our Savior New American. Fast rising Daishen Nix going up against highly touted HS sophomore Jonathan Kuminga.

One of my favorite guards from this spring & summer 💪🏽 Daishen Nix @djfromveg Trinity (NV) ⛹🏽‍♂️💨QUICK athletic 6’5” guard! VERY hard to stop him from getting to the basket w/ the majority of his 24 points @TarkClassic = dunks+layups 🚀 #tarkclassic @trigonis30 @SimplyFunBball

A textbook 'back door' cut 💯💯💯 'Dogs up by 20 🔥 #GoDogs
