Summer time - Strength & Conditioning should take priority over sport.

In-season - Strength & Conditioning should serve as a supplement to the demands of the sport.

You can not win a championship or accolades in June or July but you can lose one.

Dear “athletes shouldn’t lift heavy because it makes them slow,” and “athletes shouldn’t lift in-season” people, please stop talking and do some research.
Thanks,
-Coach Burton

P.S. If you cannot read the research, please let me know and I will read it to you.

We have had 6.03" of precipitation since January 1 at Columbia, SC. It has not been this dry to start a year since 1911.

Give it a chance.

[Miles Garrett @MilesGarrettTV]

For years, @GeorgiaTechFB was known for its triple option offense under Paul Johnson.

However it took some convincing for players like QB Joshua Nesbitt. It ended up working out as Nesbitt set the ACC record for rushing TDs by a QB, plus an ACC title in 2009.

Dear teachers the coach your crying about having missed the faculty meeting or gets to wear shorts probably drove a sub route and covered a class when the sub dipped out. Save your breath

[Daniel Burton CSCS, HSSCC, CSS Level II @DannyKB96]

@OLCoachRosen Love this, been doing it for years Coach! Great way to communicate that kids are already familiar with!

[That Guy Rocked CFB @ThatFBGuyRocked]

Adrian Peterson.

That guy rocked.

[Michael Stroup 🏴‍☠️🌊 @CoachStroup]

Everybody wants discipline… until discipline gets loud.
Everybody wants toughness… until toughness gets uncomfortable.

Hard coaching isn’t abuse.
Hard coaching is correction.
Hard coaching is standards.
Hard coaching is loving a kid enough not to let him stay average.

If a coach is demanding effort, detail, toughness, and accountability bothers you… that probably says more about today’s culture than it does the coach.

Parents will pay a guy a ton of money to make their kids do this stuff too. #iykyk

“Sport specific,” training in 2026 🤦‍♂️

[Coach Vint @coachvint]

We have to let our kids work through their problems.
There are two kinds of parents.
One prepares the path for the child, and the other prepares the child for the path.

👀 Training “balance,” on unstable surfaces is one of the most OVERRATED things you can do… here’s why:

[Coach Jeff Barnes @JeffBarnes52]

As an AD, I remind our coaches that growth happens outside of comfort zones. We have to push our athletes to become better players and better people. At the same time, that push has to be balanced with positive reinforcement and genuine care. Be just as quick and loud to congratulate as you are to correct.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Tom Izzo shares an uncomfortable truth about earning your spot.

"You play real good, you start. You don't play as good, you work your way back in."

"That's the American way - except America has gotten soft."

You don't get what you want in life - you get what you earn.

It starts with showing up and earning it every single day.

No shortcuts...Just hard work.

[Gerry DeFilippo @Challenger_ST]

“Hey do you do ‘sport specific,” training?”

No, Debra.

Your son is 12 and can barely walk without falling over

He can barely move his own bodyweight & is slower than all of his friends

He doesn’t need that.

@coachdecost1 Thanks man!

[Ross Garner @CoachRGarner]

The biggest competitive advantage at the high school level right now is nutrition.

Big time programs are investing through boosters or grants to feed their athletes throughout the day.

I think people would be shocked how many kids don’t eat breakfast, and not always by choice
