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 They’re weak, skinny & have never trained before They don’t need: - Fancy rotator cuff routines - Batting/pitching mimicked movements They need to get brutally strong, explosive & learn to move well… CONSISTENTLY

Serious question here!! CC Zach Even - Esh

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!

One of the BIGGEST "Transfers of Training" is building an athlete's self confidence!

Begin with basics, then move to Brilliance with the Basics. Jim Kiritsy said to me, "We do the simple things savagely well!" BOOM! KSUOwlsStrength

Intelligent coaching is strategic. Play the long game 🏆🏆

Lessons: Is the problem YOU? 1987 injured. No NCAA champs. 1988 injured. No NCAA champs. 1989 injured. No NCAA Champs. *Commitment to strength training & flexibility, which I hated. 1990 NCAA champ, US champ, Goodwill Games champ, World Rank #1 200m & 400m 1990-2001 HISTORY

It is a lot better to walk alone than with a crowd going in the wrong direction.

Yes, showing up to train is difficult at first But letting your competition lap you is way worse
