[John G. Patrick @Coachjgpatrick]

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.

[John G. Patrick @Coachjgpatrick]

The Standard always needs to stand firm… no matter if you are 9-1 or 1-9. There is no “it will be different next year”… “it will be different when I’m a senior” … “I take travel ball more serious” - those are all excuses & a poor mentality!

People often call me a powerlifting guy because that’s how I like to train myself.

But my personal training style isn’t my coaching philosophy.

[John G. Patrick @Coachjgpatrick]

Exactly

[Joey Heron CSCS @JoeyheronCSCS]

Box squat if you’re old, box squat if you’re inexperienced, box squat if you’re a bad squatter…….

@BayTangney As reference we start with ankle to the ring of the bar and have them lower to the bar. We adjust stance depending upon vertical shin angle and knee inline with ankle. Once stance is set, pulling height is adjusted depending on height of hips at start of the pull.

Said this about 4 years ago… glad it’s finally catching on.

The easiest hinge to teach is also the highest value for Athletics.

That Hinge is the Sumo Deadlift.

Less than 2 minutes to teach. Years of Athletic returns from getting Strong Wide.
