I’ve seen High School QBs skip out on competing in track & field (and other sports) because they thought it would hurt their recruiting if they didn’t focus solely on football + Club 7’s in the offseason. This is a perfect example of why that narrative is wrong. Great job Jonah!
2027 Campo Verde QB @LubnoJonah has elevated his game to a whole different level.
Proof?
This absolute dime to 2026 WR @carter_haygood.
Big things coming for the CV offense next season.

Excited to announce our new Track & Field Head Coach Josh Flores! Coach Flores graduated from Campo in 2016. His 7th season with the Track & Field program and 2nd season as an assistant football coach. He is ready to get to work and have a great season! #CVFamily#TheCampoWay
Is strength important for speed development?
Here’s my take ⤵️⤵️
For context — this is me cleaning 295 lbs at 167 lbs body weight and I credit my abilities in the weight room largely for helping my collegiate career flourish the way it did
However…
We can’t lift at the expense of speed training and development
What that means is when we enter the weight room we can’t do so with blinders on acting as if the only thing in the world that matters is that weight training session or improving your 1RM
YES… you need force to move your body through space
YES… that force needs to be high relative to your body weight
BUT… you must be a skilled mover to apply said force in the right positions, at the right times, with the right vectors for it to mean anything
While important to holistic athletic development, we’ve got to stop acting like strength is the ultimate differentiator in speed
Lot of “weak” athletes will blow your doors off in sprints
Lot of “strong” athletes get folded in speed & power sports
Go into the weight room with the idea that you’re complementing your speed and athletic development… not superseding it
If your legs are so beaten and broken down from lifting heavy you can’t train for 2-3 days without excessive risk, you’re doing it all wrong.
Just some perspective from someone who once pursued 1RMs to no end while my track times stagnated… and then was enlightened by world class coaches who lifted within the context of my sport to take me from a college tryout to D1 All American
What’re your thoughts? Let’s discuss in the comments!
Conditioning for 🏈
Is Mindless Conditioning at the end of practice the answer?
Short Answer: NO!
So, how do we get guys prepared for the demands of the game in a Sprint-Based Football Model?

“I want to play D1.”
“I don’t know why I’m not a starter.”
“How come my vertical hasn’t gone up?”
“Why am I not getting faster?”
Well, you consistently miss training sessions & just go through the motions
You get what you put in
