Seattle Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald - What Players Want

- "Players want to be coached. They want a connection. They want a coach that trusts/believes in them & to teach them the stuff that works. They want to be challenged but you have to build a relationship first to challenge guys the right way."

[Coach Dan Casey @CoachDanCasey]

The Offensive Line doesn’t need any other position to be good. Every other position needs the Offensive Line to be good.

The most important position group in football.

@CoreyWriting Ever heard of a heat bulb?

@Breedlove22 It all ultimately comes back to sitting with yourself and asking "Who am I?" Until something happens.

Could take seconds.
Could take years.

Understand this: The movies and shows about the crucifixion have been tame when compared to what He actually went through.

Even The Passion Of The Christ was forced to hold back a little in order to avoid an X rating.

Crucifixion was, and still is, arguably the most excruciating death someone can experience.

The night before in Gethsemane, He was sweating blood. This is known as hematidrosis. This would have caused His skin to become extremely sensitive, thus making the beatings to come even worse.

The fear He felt was the beginning of His feeling the weight of our iniquities being laid on Him.

Yet - in this moment, He didn’t demand that the Father take it from Him. He only asked for the cup to pass Him over if it was within the Father’s will.

Up next came the Cat of Nine Tails, or a Roman Flagrum. This was a weapon with long leather “tails”, each embedded with sharp bones and metal.

He was flogged 39 times as Jewish law mandated “40 minus one”, because 40 was said to kill a man.

This flogging wasn’t like being punished by your father’s leather belt.

Every strike tore flesh, every strike exposed muscle. Every strike exposed nerve endings. Every strike tore flesh to the bone.

This would be like getting struck with razor blades over and over again, leading to hypovolemic shock from blood loss.

Oh, and the crown of thorns? These weren’t rose thorns. These were thorns which were 2-3 inches long. Beaten into his skull.

These thorns would have pierced his skull, tripping the trigeminal nerve, thus causing unimaginable pain and even more blood loss from the dozens of head wounds.

At this point, extreme nausea and dizziness would begin to set in.

What came next? Carrying the cross. Which weighed around 300lbs. This would be like carrying two full kegs on your back.

Splinters and wood grating against the open flesh on His back. And He had to carry it 650 yards, or close to a half mile.

Imagine carrying a log on your back after being skinned alive.

Up next? He was nailed to the cross with spikes 5-7in in length. Piercing His wrists - this no doubt pierced the median nerve, causing extreme burning sensations up and down His arms.

A spike was driven through his ankles - severing nerves and tendons. This would have felt like standing on broken glass every time He pushed Himself up in order to breathe.

He suffered for 6 hours.

His chest muscles collapsing, making every single breath a fight for life.

His shoulders were dislocated, His arms stretching unnaturally long.

His heart was struggling to pump blood.

He was extremely dehydrated, His lips cracking.

His heart more than likely literally ruptured from the stress.

And on top of all of that, He had to feel a separation with the Father for a period of time in order to REALLY bear the weight of our sin.

He took up this burden for ALL sin before Him, and ALL sin which came after Him.

HE DID IT ALL FOR US.

To free us. To defeat sin. To give us a pathway to the Kingdom.

Every sin we commit is exactly why He had to do it.

And the real kicker? He knew what was coming when He rode into Jerusalem … and He didn’t turn around. He kept going.

For us.

@DanClarkSports They hit on literally what the National Strength and Conditioning Association's own textbook says, stay in your lane.

To say baseball is more physically demanding is laughable.

[Coach Grimes @Coach_Grimes]

Love this take.

Offensive linemen has the option to get into pass pro or outside zone making it a more realistic drill

@FiredCoaches @RobJob76 Dudes proven he has no shame already with this circus act.

[Coach Grimes @Coach_Grimes]

@FiredCoaches This tells me his dad was trash at sports and trying to cope by ruining his son's best years in athletics.

Prove me wrong.

Now talk about the lap running 80% of HS football coaches are doing for "warm-up".

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

The Kelce brothers accidentally explained one of the longest-running training mistakes in professional sports in under 30 seconds.

A pitcher's delivery takes 1.5 seconds. The rest period before the next pitch is roughly 20 seconds. A starter who throws 100 pitches in a game produces somewhere between 2 and 3 minutes of total physical exertion across a 3-hour window. The work-to-rest ratio is approximately 1:20.

That ratio maps almost perfectly to the ATP-CP energy system, the anaerobic pathway that powers movements lasting under 10 seconds. Sprinting. Jumping. Swinging a bat. Throwing a 97 mph fastball. Every meaningful action in baseball lives in this system.

Distance running trains the opposite system. Aerobic metabolism. Slow-twitch muscle fibers. Type I fibers that are smaller, produce less force, and prioritize fatigue resistance over power output. Elite sprinters carry 60-80% fast-twitch fibers. Elite endurance athletes carry 60-95% slow-twitch. A 2008 study on collegiate baseball players found that combining endurance training with power training produced measurable drops in power output.

You are literally remodeling the engine in the wrong direction. Training the aerobic system when every sport-specific action runs on anaerobic fuel.

The tradition started decades ago because games last 3 hours and coaches confused game duration with physical demand. A game lasting 3 hours does not mean the athlete is exerting for 3 hours. A pitcher standing on the mound between pitches is recovering, not working. The correct training analog is a sprinter who runs 100 meters, walks back, and goes again.

Driveline Baseball, Eric Cressey, and every major sports science program has been publishing this data for over a decade. Strength coaches at the MLB level largely moved to sprint-based and med ball protocols years ago. But the foul-pole-to-foul-pole jog still persists at the high school and college level because the coaches who played in the 90s trained that way and never updated.

The Kelces just explained it to 3 million people faster than any journal ever could.

@D7ones_ @BillyLowe1 You will see how ignorant this statement was in 10 years when that ego is hopefully faded.

[Coach Grimes @Coach_Grimes]

@CollegeFBPortal @J5ANTASY How many bodies did he go through? I wanna see the injury list.

[Coach Grimes @Coach_Grimes]

@Breedlove22 Thorough, honest, disciplined, and well analyzed. Just like all of your content. 💪

[Coach Grimes @Coach_Grimes]

@CoachShiffman Ego coaching on full display with no regard for these young men's future beyond the game.

[Coach Grimes @Coach_Grimes]

This is disgusting to watch. Grown men with no regard for these athletes future after the game.

[College Transfer Portal @CollegeFBPortal]

NEW: SEMO football showcased a drill that is complete stupidity.

This is EXACTLY how players end up getting hurt for no reason… 🤦‍♂️

Perfectly illustrates the private strength conditioning coaching profession.

[Gerry DeFilippo @Challenger_ST]

I feel like every strength coach goes through this at some point…

Ex-Military S&C coaches, I love you but this message is for you.

“Football is a knock you out, back up, knock you out, back up sport. When you run gassers, you turn explosive athletes into endurance athletes.”

You must train the correct energy systems for success in Sport!🙌🏻
