🚨REALITY🚨

“They only made the team because they are fast”

This will forever be the case.

A fast athlete with meh skills will always be ready to contribute, even if they are new to the sport.

Don’t like it? GET FASTER!

"If you want to be a great player nobody should have to coach you playing hard. They should never have to coach effort."

Effort and enthusiasm are requirements NOT something the should have to be requested.

If you’re not bringing both, you’re not serious about winning.

Coaches have favorites.

But, it's not personal; it's performance.

It's about who works hard, is coachable, and delivers consistently.

It's about who embodies the team's values and drives everyone forward.

Be that player, and you'll be the favorite.

Tough way to decide a state title game. Light on puck not in the goal!

[Winchester Athletics @Winch_Athletics]

Congratulations George!

🚨SPEED MATTERS🚨

Heard an athlete from another sport tell a track kid “you’d only make the team bc you’re fast”

Umm… YEAH🤷🏿‍♂️

In HS the easiest way on any team is to be FAST AND ATHLETIC even w/ so-so sports skills

Yet kids resist improving athleticism

GET FASTER!

🚨TRACK MINDSET YOUNG ATHLETES NEED TO UNDERSTAND🚨

In competition there’s no more thinking. No more analyzing, no more worrying about times

GET ON THE LINE AND GO FROM POINT A TO POINT B AS FAST AS POSSIBLE

The job: beat the person next to you and the time will come

HS Athlete 1st❓to me: “What do you think of pre-workout?”

Me: “Are you eating 3-4 balanced meals with high-quality🍳protein? Drinking 80 oz.💧? Sleeping 7-9 hours?”

Athlete: “No, I don't have time.”

Me: “Okay, until you do that, here's the equivalent of what you're doing.” 🩹

🚨I’LL CONSTANTLY SAY AND BELIEVE THIS🚨

Once an athlete gets to high school (maybe even middle school)

1 sport a season
1 team a season

They don’t need to be playing on 3 teams in the fall, 3 in the winter, and 3 in the spring or offseason stuff

Lock in for one per season

[Jason Crutchfield @Speed_coach1]

Misses the initial tackle. Gets up and makes a TD saving tackle. 11.18 100m in high school. Pretty good for a 200+ pound kid.

I'm remote training a 20 year-old soccer player from Sweden. Fantastic player who has detrained speed for years.

Takeways:
1) Overtraining (7 hours a day, Kobe Bryant-inspired)
2) Focussed on conditioning (said he trained like a marathon runner)
3) Not enough Rest-Recover-Sleep (again Kobe-inspired)
4) Lost weight due to overtraining
5) No Record-Rank-Publish (without monitoring, he was not aware of getting slower)
6) Developed tendinitis in both knees, one required surgery

Athletes have been sold a load of crap... that every elite athlete became elite because they outworked the others. Grind > Sleep

This cat is going to get fed!

PRE-PRACTICE CHECKLIST FOR LEADERS:
✅ Where's my attitude?
✅ Where's my energy level?
✅ How can we get better today?
✅ Who do I need to encourage?
✅ Who do I need to challenge?

[Kevin Carr @CoachKevinCarr]

Always. Be. Coaching.

Coach what’s in front of you, not what the sheet says.

Be clear and consistent with the standards that you expect.

We get what we allow.

🚨ONCE AGAIN🚨

ONE SPORT A SEASON

ONE TEAM A SEASON

PARENTS please realize your athlete’s body (especially at the HS level) won’t handle that wear and tear for long

And athletes are just halfway in for both teams they are on

Choose one team/sport and commit for that season!
