This Easter, I invite you to look at Jesus, consider what he said and did, and ask for yourself what I believe is the most important question you will ever answer: Did he really leave behind an empty tomb? And if he did, what does that mean for you?

I helped coach high school football for a few years and ran the speed/strength program for one of them. It was a tremendous experience, and I learned a lot about the art of teaching and motivating young people.

Here’s what I took away from that time, and my thoughts on the weight room and how you can use it to help you on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday nights. Honestly, I don’t think a lot of coaches fully understand this side of it. This bench press is a great example.

Most guys just focus on completing the rep. But what about the details?

- Feet flat on the ground and not moving around
- Glutes tight with maximum tension
- Actively pulling the bar down, not just letting gravity lower it
- Head flat on the bench, chin tucked into your chest
- Proper spotting technique
- Elbows in and not flared out

Just to name a few…

The question I ask the kids (and coaches) all the time is this:

If you can’t focus on all the little details in the weight room, especially when you’re tired, then how can we trust you to execute your technique on 4th & 1 late in the 4th quarter?

Coaches are missing out on a tremendous teaching opportunity with their players if they really understood what the weight room can help develop.

Details always matter.

Not being critical, just using this as an example to make a point.

“For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. They will reject the truth and chase after myths.”

I asked Dan Hurley the same question I asked Tom Izzo: why does the media have a problem with coaches coaching players hard?

Hurley: "Society has gotten soft in a lot of ways... The real world is tough and cruel... I'm preparing my players for life."

Training in anything we do at high level has to have a mental and emotional tie in to be successful.

The game, at all positions is played at the highest level when you can match the mental processing, physical attributes and technique.

Football is a reaction game where you have to make decisions and solve problems in microseconds.

To transfer to the field there has to be a decision making element, at full speed under pressure in the drill progression.

Otherwise an athlete cant utilize it when he/she needs it most.

How to get rich as a strength coach/personal trainer…

1. No matter what, claim you played D1 sports somewhere. Maybe bribe a mid major school to put you on their practice roster. Or tell people you got recruited but an injury derailed your career before pre-season so you never played & never got listed on the roster

2. Get as many certs as you can & make sure you list all the initials after your name. The more initials the better. You may not know anything, but people will certainly think you do

3. Get in the best shape possible. Use peptides, deer antler spray. Whatever it takes to get shredded. Abs are very helpful.

4. See point #3. Once you are in good shape, build your entire social media around showing off your physique & how jacked you are. You may be stupid & unable to make a basic program, but kids & parents won’t care. They’ll come train with you because you’re the jacked guy on Instagram who will make them look the same

5. DM every athlete you can find who already trains somewhere else. It’s not their fault that they didn’t hear about you. Honestly, you’re doing them a favor if you poach them from the coach they have gone to for 5 years. They deserve to go to you instead. Tell them how terrible their coach is & that you’ll get them better

6. Any athlete who breathes & commits to a school should be added to your list of accolades. Maybe you only met them once but you certainly should tell everyone they’re committed & got there because of YOU

7. This is where it gets tricky. A good coach must have tech and lots of it. Get a new credit card. Max out your credit line & get the fanciest tech. Force plates, VBT, 1080 sprint. All of it. You won’t know how to use it but you’ll look so smart

It’s not easy, but you can do it. 7 simple steps & you too can be an elite strength & conditioning coach/personal trainer!
