The weight room is the most influential room in a school.
It’s not a place to hang out — it’s a classroom.
A place where habits are built, standards are set, and character is developed.

@Coach_SG Claude is changing the game.. has revamped the AMS/database system for us. AI for the win!

The Thinker’s resources are unmatched. Many try to duplicate but it’s already been done.

[Jeremy Toohey @Toohey_sp]

The virtue signaling camp that thinks it’s uncool for coaches to study, read, and keep learning misses the point entirely. Basics are king, but refusing to evolve is usually just a crutch for laziness in your own development

@JustinGoffBurch People don’t understand there there is a difference in a PE teacher who teaches S&C and a S&C coach who teaches PE… there are good and bad on both sides but there is a distinct difference

[John G. Patrick @Coachjgpatrick]

@JustinGoffBurch as some good message for the hiring of qualified S&C professionals. I wouldn’t let a dentist perform ACL surgery on me. Qualified professionals know when/how to gain education and how to stay in their scope of practice.

[Justin Goff-Burch @JustinGoffBurch]

Your PE licensure isn't a strength coach credential, because 75% of PE teachers serving in strength roles average a 45% score on a validated S&C knowledge assessment.
That's not an opinion. That's Kern et al., 2024.

:42sec of me doing ILC’s with an angled pad. This was part of my accessory work, paired with 100 reps of Leg Press @65% of my Max BS. Coaching point on GHD and ILC is foot pressure. It’s all dependent on what you want to emphasis. Enjoy! @roguefitness #train #strength #lift

An indoor facility might be the most valuable facility in a football program IF you have one..

[John G. Patrick @Coachjgpatrick]
