Apparently @Giants defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux wrestles in the offseason. Love to see that.
Had a great time speaking and learning today at the @NHSSCANJ @nhssca_us clinic. Thank you @ZEvenEsh and @CoachKolody for the opportunity! If anyone wants to learn about the topics discussed at the clinic DM me or reply to this post.
Girls. Training. And ACL Tears. Girls don't need a 3 day ACL program or a 5 minute ACL Warm up. Girls don't need a 6-8 wk bootcamp. It is not a one off thing you do in a 3 day clinic or a 10 minute warm up. It's not a bootcamp right before the season just to not continue with training while in-season. Girls need sound, progressive and comprehensive S&C 2-3x wk for at least 40 wks during the year during their off and in-season competition periods. Quad Strength. Glute strength. Landing mechanics. Deceleration. Pivoting/Twisting. Taking contact. Conditioning. Agility. Isometrics. Power work. Etc.. cannot be neglected for weeks or MONTHS on end. It is total negligence to go months without a weight room session or even a break in a kids schedule to make time for training. It's a year round plan of attack to do the best we can to mitigate risk. Girls sports and those involved need to do better and what is in our power/control.
Despite what people say... The majority are not really willing to do what it takes, and that's always your advantage.
Baseball players, two of my favorite quotes from New York Mets scout Kevin Whiteside: @CoachCrick 🐐 “You better love the weight room like you love your mama.” “Big butts equals big paychecks.” Translation: Strength matters. Get in the weight room and go to work.
The weight room is the most influential room in a school. It’s not a place to hang out — it’s a classroom. A place where habits are built, standards are set, and character is developed.
RFK/MAHA: dunkin donuts is the enemy... Also RFK/MAHA: still no mandatory daily physical education requirement in public schools...
