HS athletes:
Summer workouts are less than 10% of your time. If you cannot carve out 4-7% of your week to train with your teammates & coaches then you are not a serious athlete. There is plenty of time left to work, swim, fish, sleep, etc. Get to workouts & get better!!
Summer is when most coaches get to breathe. For S&C / Football coaches it’s full go
Summer is where S&C learns the most logistical/admin skills. If it works for big groups then small groups will flourish
It’s also easy to burn yourself out so make sure to take time for you

8 Realities of a High School Coach

What would be his biggest tip to young athletes trying to get to the next level?
“A lot of people work hard…
it’s the people that work hard & are able to stack nutrition & sleep & those things on top of it.”

Underrated coaching truth:
The best coaches aren’t obsessed with talent.
They’re obsessed with effort.
With attitude.
With toughness.
Because when it gets hard,
that’s what still shows up.
Brought the energy 🔥

YOU CAN'T PRACTICE LAZY AND PLAY HARD.
Your habits don't magically change when the lights come on.
Success starts with how you prepare and put in the work.

That’s what wins when it gets hard.
I believe work life balance is a myth.The key is to find rhythm and be engaged when you are at work and engaged when you are home. Invest in relationships where you are and you’ll feel more energized at work and home. You won’t have balance but you’ll be fulfilled
Weightroom testing days are the ultimate athletic lie detector. Did you do all your reps? "Yeah, Coach." It's separates the "Dids" from the "Didn'ts" like nothing else in our society.
I can get you to work hard.
But I cannot give you the will to want to come out first.
That's competing.
Competing is doing the very best with what you have, especially when circumstances, opposition, and adversity are stacked against you, and STILL pushing through anyway.
