HARD TRUTHS:
🔨 life isn't fair
🔨 the video doesn't lie
🔨 the scoreboard doesn't lie
🔨 no one else can do your push ups for you
🔨 failure is part of the process
🔨 the most talented team doesn't always win

The greatest skill set anyone can acquire:

The skill to control your response -- in the midst of circumstances you do not control -- to create the best outcomes possible.

@pbasilstrength Power

[Pat Basil @pbasilstrength]

You don’t need Power Cleans to become explosive

I took them out years ago and our program only improved

Here's a free guide on why and how to train Power without Cleans

With a sample week

Do these to get it:

1. Follow me
2. Retweet this
3. Comment "POWER" below

I'll DM it

@Coach_Ben_Davis @RJ11Jackson @CoachMJ365 Good luck Coach! I know big things are ahead for you!

Gameday Training: Hype or Helpful?

Here’s the deal.

Training on gameday has become popular these days.

It’s a great logistical option if you have midweek games and only have time or access to train on those same days.

Gameday training becomes a necessity for those situations.

In that case, it’s critical to do because it may be the only option you have to get your in-season training done.

The other use is the idea of potentiation:

Doing some jumps or light lifts the morning of the game will lead to better performance.

To me that falls under “feel good, play good.

It’s 100% preference or even placebo in my opinion.

It’s not the game changer that many believe it to be.

Need to learn more about in-season training?

It’s all part of my program design system.

I have a free training on exactly that for you in the next tweet👇
