Learning "the process!”

[Gerry DeFilippo @Challenger_ST]

“I don’t want to lift too much & get too bulky.”

1. It takes years to build quality size

2. You don’t have the elite genetics for it to happen very quickly

3. You’re incredibly small so shut up & lift

4. You don’t get big overnight. Your body & skill work has time to adjust

5. Stop being an idiot

Me: "How long is basketball season?"

Injured Athlete: "School ball is October-March, AAU is April -July, Fall ball is August-October"

Me: " So, no months off?"

Injured Athlete: "Yeah."

Me: "How often do you lift?"

Injured Athlete: "We don't"

A reminder. Some teams that are 0-3 or 1-2 playing against tough opponents are much better than lots of 3-0 teams. The computer may not show it but coaches, fans and players know it. Better to test yourself now than cruise in preparation for league play.

Every youth parent and coach should read this.

What makes a champion?

An analysis of over 6,000 athletes found distinct differences between those who made it to world-class versus those who didn't progress from child star.

Similar research has been done on one-hit wonders and Nobel Laureates.

Here's what they found:

I keep saying this but, it needs repeating. We have youth sports all wrong.

Dr James Andrews- “Athletes ages 14-and-under should have a two-month break with no organized leagues or intense training, Three to four would be better. Do conditioning, flexibility and strength work."

Summer training 101-

Let sport coaches get mad if kids miss sessions. That’s on coaches to get their kids in the WR.

As a s&c coach, you just worry about who IS showing up each day and give your efforts to them.

Want to grow your program? Worry about who is coming first.

Nick Saban touches on the importance of discipline, specifically how much impact self-discipline has on your daily life.

You'll want to give this one a watch! (Via @Coach_Edwards66)

Say what you want about him, but every team needs a guy like him… in every sport…. He’s Top dawg as a teammate on any team. The kind of guy that helps you win, on and off the floor!

[Coach Hines 🇺🇸 @CoachKurtHines]

If anyone ever tries to tell you that you need to “specialize” in one sport, in order to be great, ask them this ONE question:

[Clarksville Indian Softball @SoftballIndian]

UNDEFEATED Iowa Star North Conference CHAMPS for the SEVENTH year in a row! #WIndians 💪🏼🥎❤️

[Chris Harvey @CoachCHarvey]

Serious question…are there actually high school football programs out there that have kids that don’t show up for summer training and still expect to play? Our attendance has been 85-90% every year and it’s not even talked about.

A common flaw that I see with the clean is not catching the bar in a solid rack position and/or getting into that position too slowly. This is how it should be done - elbows firing through at bar-rattling speeds into a solid receiving position. #SpeedKills 💪⚡️

[Coach Hines 🇺🇸 @CoachKurtHines]

Too many people wanna be a valued part of the Playoffs, but aren’t willing to be a valued part of the offseason that gets you there!

[Layne Norton, PhD @BioLayne]

Supplements aren’t magic. 95% are junk

Of the 5% that aren’t junk, 99% of companies overhype them

If you want 1st tier supps that are effective for body comps & performance here’s the list:

Creatine monohydrate, whey protein, & caffeine

Just be realistic with expectations

[Gerry DeFilippo @Challenger_ST]

If you play sports & your coach tells you to only play your sport & stop strength training during the season

Odds are they have someone’s best interest at heart & it’s probably not yours

[Knight Strength @Knight_Strength]

I sound like a broken record but more & more training is not the answer to getting stronger & faster. LESS IS MORE! No recovery = no gains. Training for 3 hours after you’ve already had an intense 45 minute to an hour workout is not using your 🧠.

[Alan Bishop @CoachAlanBishop]

The misconception that resistance training is dangerous for children is not supported by scientific research

In fact, the opposite is true. Resistance training improves strength & increases Bone Strength Index, decreasing risk of sport-related injuries.
