Athletes don’t need Fancy Drills… they need👇🏻
1. High Relative Strength Ratios built through basic loaded movements.
2. Frequent exposure to High Speeds
3. Train through Full Ranges of Motion
This is what effective training looks like. Absurdly simple🙌🏻
Absolute Strength development with Heavy loads IS Speed and Power development
Absolute Strength has downstream effects on all other abilities as it raises one’s capacity for Force Production.
If you only move fast, you won’t raise Peak Force capabilities to the greatest extent.
Championship teams don’t get lucky.
They take their vitamins.
Attitude. Belief. Commitment. Discipline. Energy. Focus. Grit. Humility.
Simple. Not easy.
Which one does your team need most right now?
I have two rules for athletes:
1. Be On Time
2. Don't Let Your Teammates Down
Those two cover everything you're going to encounter everyday, whether in weightroom/practice/meetings/game.
Curt Cignetti shares a universal truth about habits and consequences.
"In life - you got freedom of choice, but not freedom of consequence."
"First you form your habits, then your habits form you."
Every choice and action you take compounds. The small decisions you make daily - preparation, work ethic, and how you respond - those become your habits.
And over time, those habits become your identity.
You're free to choose. But the consequences of those choices aren't optional.
Your habits are shaping who you become.

Entitlement destroys influence and culture.
Stop focusing on what you think you deserve, start focusing on how to serve.
Entitled to nothing, grateful for everything.
Humility is the way.
To make the most of your Strength work, you MUST strain.
As much as the field is wrapped up in High Velocities (for good reason) there’s an equally important reason to prioritize the Slower extremes.
You are leaving adaptations on the table if you don’t touch sub 0.4 m/s🙌🏻
Every time an athlete steps into the gym, they must have a number to beat.
They must look back at previous sessions and decide to progress in some way.
If there’s no progression, there’s no adaptation, which means you created fatigue for no reward.
Don’t do that.
