When Coaches are so passionate, they say YES to the low paying job in a Multi Million dollar weight room. Be weary of working for places who prioritize investing in "stuff" before people. Heartbreaking and embarrassing at same time.

A BIG part of this happens in the off season when the strength coach sees the team more than the sports coach. Sport Coaches should communicate frequently w/ their team to encourage off season team training.

You're not just prepping the athlete / team for the game / competition, you are prepping them for the rigors of practices and a full season.

Your young baseball player is going to start strength training Theyโ€™re weak, skinny & have never trained before They donโ€™t need: - Fancy rotator cuff routines - Batting/pitching mimicked movements They need to get brutally strong, explosive & learn to move wellโ€ฆ CONSISTENTLY

Sports rarely happen under ideal situations; weather, temps, illness, field conditions, crowds, etc all impact. Train/practice accordingly!

A lot of these heavier lineman, especially high school underclassmen, need more lunges than they do squats. Utilize the lunge as a strength mobility combo exercise. Nothing worse than loading the spine, hips, knees and ankles with poor movement. Sleds, lunges, carries....

Don't build athletes who become "Strong & Useless". Sprints, Jumps, Throws, Tag Games / Free Play, and more. Build Athleticism.

Respect their time, in addition, parents are usually waiting to pick up the kids on time, so they can drive another kid to another practice!
