Dear son,

Read this and take action.

[Cody Hughes @clh_strength]

High school athletes need to lift heavy.

Period.

[Michael Boyle @mboyle1959]

Shocker, another study showing early single sport specialization leads to more injuries. Parents, are you listening? 🦻🏻

[Pete Collopy MS RSCC @CollopyPete]

I’ve probably had around 10 kids close to passing out at a morning session in my 9 years coaching. Not necessarily doing anything unordinary. Never once did one of them say “yes” when I asked if they ate breakfast that morning. Other factors? Sure, but that’s a major one.

[John Davis, CSCS, Pn1, OPEX @Mr_davisj]

Having kids play outside does more for development than sports!

Conflict resolution, creativity, etc

[Dustin Martin @_Coach_Martin_]

If you’re a coach who influences kids not to play another sport at the high school level, shame on you!

[Joshua Ortegon @JoshuaOrtegon]

Basketball boys. Watching this tournament? You better get in the weight room….

Coach says it’s not important?

You got a bad coach…

[Coach Dan Casey @CoachDanCasey]

“You can always HEAR a good team.

The bad teams… you never hear. They don’t ever talk.

They don’t talk to each other. They don’t talk on defense, they don’t talk in transition.”

- Kelvin Sampson

Culture WINS 🏆

Building Culture is the #1 job of any coach.

What is Culture?

Culture is what you allow. Culture is what you emphasize. Culture is every day.

- Poor coaches ignore Culture.
- Average coaches talk about Culture.
- Great coaches build Culture Every Day.

[Jeremy Toohey @Toohey_sp]

𝗕𝗮𝗱 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 ... NOBODY reminds anyone of the standards

𝗔𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 ... COACHES remind team of the standards

𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 ... CAPTAINS remind team of the standards

𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 ... EVERYONE reminds each other of the standards

🤦‍♂️ Are YOU still not training in-season?? Maybe that’s why you’re always hurt 🤷‍♂️

The 1990’s @chicagobulls were ahead of their time… Al Vermeil and staff knew the importance of maintaining strength and robustness during the grind of a season

Scottie Pippen talks here about how building and focusing on strength helps to avoid wearing out through the grind of the season… this probably helped him play over 73 games in 11 of his first 13 seasons!

Al Vermeil talks about the idea of game day lifts and how they can actually AMPLIFY performance later in the day when you play!

If you’re STILL not training during your season, figure it out

[Jason Crutchfield @Speed_coach1]

Pro tip for track coaches: if you only develop good sprinters, you’re probably good at the 100, 200, 400, 100/110h, 300h, long jump, triple jump, high jump, 4x100, and 4x400. If you only develop distance runners, you’re good at the 800, 1600, 3200, and 4x800. 10>4. It’s science.
