I had two athletes train with me all summer and fall in preparation for their winter sport. 2-3x wk/for 6 months. Winter sports are about 16 weeks. Athlete A continued to train 3-4x/month with me all winter. I would have liked 2x wk but they don’t drive etc… Athlete B didn’t hit a single lift all winter. Not with me or her HS. When they came back for training and preparation for their fall sport: Athlete A main strength metrics are right at where she left off before her winter season with force plate jumps being slightly higher. Athlete B was down 5-15% on all major strength/speed/power metrics. Now, as I said, I would have preferred athlete A to have come twice/wk as I feel we would have increased our metrics but at the very least we did not drop off. Sometimes, it’s just about not getting worse. We can now attack the spring and summer not having to catch up. We can just build. 📈 Athlete B? We will need 1-2 months to catch up. Not to mention reestablish the habit of training missed from 16 week away from it. Time and money? Not wasted entirely but this athlete/parent is not getting the biggest ROI they can! If they continue to miss 16+ wks during the year, they will not make much progress during HS. TRAIN IN-SEASON!

It never ceases to amaze me how much work we still have to do So many parents and athletes think strength training is just a 4-6 week “class,” before tryouts I don’t care if you’re busy with your sport You need to make time to get strong & stay healthy

The future is bright 🔥

Guys wanted to see what their windy 10M times were today. We haven't had a windy day yet 25.0 MPH 0.89 👀 Jr 23.5 MPH 0.95 Sr 23.5 MPH 0.95 Jr 23. MPH 0.96 Jr 23.0 MPH 0.97 So 22.8 MPH 0.98 Jr 22.3 MPH 1.00 So 22.0 MPH 1.01 Fr 21.7 MPH 1.03 So 21.7 MPH 1.03 Jr out of CC!

100% PRs in 10M flys today! Triad now has 3 guys going 24 MPH in the same season‼️ ⚡⚡⚡

How do we get so many 7-8th graders to lifts? Because the sport coaches tell them to and show up! Remember coaches… It’s MY job to program and train your kids. It’s YOUR job to push them to workouts and show up as well. It’s a dual partnership!

You don’t just show up to college and decide to start preparing. By then, you’re behind. The athletes who go on to play in college or at the pro level? Most of them were already taking their physical preparation seriously in high school.

“Sorry Coach Stack, I won’t be attending Strength & Conditioning this summer, I’m just gonna lift at planet fitness”. Fine. But don’t whine/complain to your parents/call the AD when you’re still a below average athlete and/or lose your starting position next season. Compete 💪🏽

With today’s win, @TriadBaseball (35-7) caps off the winningest season in school history. Their 3rd place finish is the best in program history.

@OutputSports has been a game changer for our new Strength & Conditioning program. Regardless of training season, our athletes use the leaderboards to compete against each other but also utilize the relative comparison to compete within themselves for personal growth.
