Really good podcast podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coa…

@strong_science Factsssssssssssss. Don’t tell strength coaches that though.

The more I seriously pursue a professional career in basketball. The more I realize how much more we can get out of training. I think we have dug way too deep of a hole in the weight room.

@RUGBY_STR_COACH Or….you can get a jacked truck. 🙋

Because I'm petty and it makes me laugh: I worked with a guy once who got a job down south. All of a sudden he started wearing a cowboy hat (never worn before) and creating a country back story, which looks remarkably like pandering. Anyway, I jokingly asked him where his cowboy hat was when he moved jobs (for like the 12th time in 15 years).... Since then we've seen a TRIPLING of cowboy hat density on the timeline. So many questions: "Is the re-dedication to the cowboy hat a response to me?" "If genuine, what prompted the sudden love of the cowboy hat?" Most importantly: "What road to Damascus experience occurred that served to exponentially accelerate the love of the cowboy hat?! The jokes on me. I spent 30 minutes researching this and I've never been on an NFL 30 under 30 list. My back story sucks too :(

"The more skillful you are, the more efficient you are" -@schlesstrength Don't need to put all our eggs into the strength basket. Skill wins

@coactimcaron @clh_strength It’s ok fellas. It’s just an opinion. Just talking to a friend on a podcast. Research your environment and make your distinctions. Just generalities from a large sampling of my experiences.

@clh_strength To me it creates a mislabeled stereotype that associates lowered workload with with intelligence. I’ve seen weak associations like this get legs and it becomes accepted logic. The opposite being that someone didn’t try hard because they had lesser workloads

Read it twice. Then read it again.

@coachAMastalski @TerryBattenberg @CoachJMays @CoachsClimb @LibertyMBB @ASUNSports @KSUOWLSMBB Love to see it!

@TerryBattenberg @CoachJMays @CoachsClimb @LibertyMBB @ASUNSports @KSUOWLSMBB This right here, we share with boys and middle school. This year we went with a 20 minute weight session based on some microdosing principles @schlesstrength talks about. Keeps practice under 2 hours and players are warmed up ready to go when the court is ours.

4:54 long video of @LibertyMBB pre-game dynamic stretching routine. This was before their @ASUNSports Conference Tournament Championship game at @KSUOWLSMBB Are we as coaches willing to spend 10:00 at the start of practice during the early part of the season to do this? Obviously, once the routine is learned, the time is cut in half. I think it’s important for injury prevention (prehab) and loosening the soft tissue / fascia / fluid part of an athletes body. Kids are playing more and more today as compared to 5, 10, 15 years ago. I believe we have to educate ourselves on how best to prepare our players bodies for workouts and practice. @hoopdiaries @Robb_Hornett @Fergus_Connolly @HoopsStrength @JSCRonline @CFC_Sasser

Machines. They have a purpose in every program. Some more than others, but that’s for the practitioner to decide.

@PhilBeckner Say this louder for the people in the back 🗣️

On court skill training - You can typically have VOLUME or you can have INTENSITY - but you can rarely have BOTH! Training HARD is not always about the hours or duration. We define training HARD by displaying a FORCE, INTENSITY, and BURST that others can FEEL! #DRIVEN

We would like to recognize @BereaCollegeMBB Alum & current Phoenix Suns strength Coach Cory Schlesinger (@schlesstrength). Cory was our PG (2005-09) and credits a his success to the internship program at Berea College to jumpstart his career path to the NBA #MountaineerMonday

Playing has given me the best insight to becoming an effective coach. Forever thankful #bereaproud

More than a strength coach! This is big time!

@strong_science Skill, size, and size with skill. My 3 😂

After watching lots of NCAA basketball and lots of NBA basketball there are 3 major standout differences

@strong_science This!

The more I train people the more I realize how much I overvalued lifting weights & undervalued training the movement spectrum. I ask myself, if I am stronger than my professional athletes at an exercise yet they are more athletic than me… does this exercise really matter?

10) environment gives you a chance to have great culture, but PEOPLE will ensure it. Mix the two together and you’ll have quite the workspace.

9) get an @ouraring and find the best ways to maximize your sleep.

10 things I’ve learned being a strength coach in professional sports:
