DAN CAMPBELL ON TRUST "To be able to do something that's greater than yourself, it takes everybody around you doing their job & doing it at a high level. You gotta trust them. It's special, it's different... It's camaraderie and to be the best of the best collectively."

Andy Reid said, "You can compete and win if the coach is teaching the player." "You get the players teaching the players, now you can really go and compete for championships." The best teams have players lead. They set the standard. ( @TheAthletic)

QOTD:

Simple statement. Powerful words.

“That’s job number one as coaches. What is the best way for them to learn? How do we motivate them? You get a guy that got a lot of talent. Why does it work out? If you really believe in the coaches you have, what your teaching and how to go about it,” Dan Campbell Trust wins.

Every player wants success, but only a few are willing to work for it. Coaches look for the commitment, the discipline—because talk fades, but effort tells the truth.

Good to see you, @aidanhutch97 💙

Spot on.....

Kirby Smart uses ONE statistic from Gallup to help him manage his team's culture. He knows that everyone affects the culture. He shares this number with his leadership team and it helps him categorize the team into 3 groups. The 3 groups are: • Engaged - They are loyal and productive. • Not Engaged - They are just putting in the time. • Actively Disengaged - They are unhappy and spreading their discontent. So why does Kirby care? He said, "In essence, then, the CEO’s job is to improve the ratio of engaged to actively disengaged workers." His job is to figure out to level people up from: • Not Engaged → Engaged or • Actively Disengaged → Not Engaged According to the latest Gallup study, the average for most organizations are: • Engaged = 30% • Not Engaged = 52% • Actively Disengaged = 17% He is constantly looking at his team to see what group they fall into. He said, "I think that the organization starts at the top. And if you hold people accountable, and you hold people to a standard that you can make them understand they can move from actively disengaged, to not engaged and then hopefully to engaged." Takeaway: Everyone affects the culture. Your culture is everything. It's your behaviors and what you are willing to accept. What you reinforce is what the culture will sustain. When people are negative and actively disengaged then this will spread when you allow it. This affects the confidence and attitudes of everyone. "You're either coaching it or allowing it to happen." - Kirby Smart - - - Follow @coachajkings for more posts like this!

Why do stronger players run slower! 🥲 🙋🏿‍♂️Hands up if you have observed athletes get stronger in the gym , vertical jump higher, broad jump further , but with little to no impact on their speed. 😖 🚩Heavy squats , and deadlifts are great for physical conditioning but often this can be at the detriment to coordination and speed development🚩 ❌To lift close to maximal weights , athletes often sacrifice form for force. ❌ 🚩They hinge using their back more than their hip extensors. 🚩 🫠They illustrate poor trunk and shin discipline. 🫠 ❌They fail to use their BUM BEFORE BACK❌ 💡Proximal to Distal Sequencing during leg drive is an effective way to use the pelvis as an engine. This encourages appropriate folding/unfolding, winding/unwinding and essentially loading and exploding in the desired DIRECTION.💡 🤨The weight room rewards slow, vertical forces. 🧐 ✅Useful for neural drive, explosive strength and often great displays of force production✅ 🧭The weight room doesn’t discriminate DIRECTION of force production. 🧭 👉🏾👈🏾👆🏾👇🏾Even when selecting exercises focused on horizontal muscles (posterior chain), we have a choice on how to express our hips. 👇🏾👆🏾👈🏾👉🏾 💡Trunk Discipline and Shin Discipline encourage appropriate orientation of your force (Horizontal Projection). Stability at the proximal ends provides a foundation for efficient and effective triple joint extension (Sequencing > Full Extension)💡 💡The weight room can encourage a more quad dominant / ground based strategy , rewarding strong trunk extension (like a back hyper) which can ultimately shift your projection vertically.💡 🔥Creat large forces , in a short time , in the right DIRECTION !🔥 🙋🏿‍♂️Question time ❓ What coaching or programming strategies can you use to encourage proper hip hinging in the gym, in order to make your athletes faster on the grass?
