If you’re...

Jumping, landing, decelerating, eccentrically loading, lifting, training on 1 leg, etc..

Then you don’t need to spend $120 on an ACL Prevention clinic.

ACL prevention SHOULD just be apart of your program...not a separate program.

So unbelievably proud of this kid. As good as he is at hockey, he's a better human. One of THE BEST. Congrats on a great career. 🫶🏼🫶🏼 @SchroederSports @HockeySchroeder @NextLevelSCNY @Natevank19 @JoeAratari @mikemoon_nlsc @GeneseoHockey

Speaking in general terms and experience, most HS/college MALE athletes tend to try to do all their training on their own / with their buddies at the local gym.

To be fair, MOST can probably do a decent job on their own getting stronger and packing on size if that is their goal, especially if they have a decent training age.

However, FEW do a good job solo of training for speed, power, agility, acceleration, mobility, etc… even putting together a well balanced program.

The best thing you can do if you have the means is to DROP your ego and work with a coach, even if just for a few days per wk!

When you weigh 115lbs and you pull 250lbs for three reps 👀👀

Relative strength for the win!

There’s a huge reason why this girl is one of the top basketball players in the area as a sophomore 💪🏻

[Joe Aratari @JoeAratari]

Love getting these kind of messages!

Even better when it’s an 8th grader up on varsity!

Packed house!

I’ve been a little quieter on social media.

Not because of a lack of passion but truthfully just a LOT of coaching.

Best time of the year coming up for strength coaches!

Thanks again for having me on!

Soccer parents: you don't need to have a packaged schedule. You need a strategic schedule.

Balance of soccer load and strength. Ensure rest days. Non-negotiable.

The classic type for an injury prone athlete is skill work dominating the schedule with hardly any to no strength.

I have spoken on how to balance everything on my podcast with @JoeAratari if you're wondering how to do it:

Two very simple, yet effective angular running drills we use religiously.

1) Arc sprints
2) Snake sprints

Like any sprint work, take enough rest to maximize each rep!

With that said, these can also be utilized in a conditioning setting.

Lift heavy.
Lift fast.
Jump high.

27.5” vertical for the sophomore 💪🏻

[Joe Aratari @JoeAratari]

Last spring one of our volleyball players had a 24.9 inch standing vertical on a jump pad.

He showed up here and there in the spring/summer.

After this fall VB season, he then committed to the weight room 2-3x wk for 3+ months and now is in the 30” club.

This can be you to (progress that is).

Showing up is step 1!

For HS/College athletes looking for an affordable remote training option to maximize their summer training, feel free to send me a message to learn more about my remote training plans!

[Joe Aratari @JoeAratari]

In a hour session, middle school kids do not need more than 30 minutes of strength training.

At these ages, standing in one spot and doing too much (mostly frontal plan) strength movements will yield MUCH LOWER ROI than a comprehensive program that involves movement, play, jumps, throws, skips, etc…
