Working that linear acceleration and finishing with box drops → 7-yard burst + stop 💨 These kids are locked in and getting faster every week! Front squats were 🔥 our basketball players are gonna turn heads this season 💪🏼🏀
Fridays are for mobility and explosive power.
Hurdles improve hip mobility for better movement and fewer injuries.
Hex bar jumps with the Pop-200 teach athletes to produce force instantly—an ability that translates directly to the field and court.
Change of direction progressions 🏃♂️➡️💨 From lateral power shuffle + hops w/ decel, to accelerating out of COD stance 🔑 Shoulder drop, pivot inside foot, outside foot parallel/front. Proud of the CULTURE these athletes built 🙌 We’re not there yet, but we’re on the way! 🚀
In sports u only get about 200 milliseconds to show power. Thats why we measure PoP-200 w/ trap bar jumps..tells us how quickly an athlete can produce force the difference between jumping higher, sprinting faster or winning a first step. Strength matters but speed of force wins!
2 years ago vs today—our athletes aren’t just stronger, they’re building culture, discipline & grit. 💪🔥 Lateral work, teamwork & pushing through tough moments. Proud of this crew & excited for what’s ahead! #AthleteDevelopment#StrengthAndSpeed#TeamCulture#TrainToWin
Finally back in action at Northwest! Athletes are attacking Zercher squats and reverse lunges while locking in front rack variations to build posture and strength. First cycle is all about deceleration and landing mechanics—love the energy and buy-in this year!
@OPS_Morton has a great one in coach Urbanski. Athletes talked about influential coaches and he came up several times “He was the reason why I swam” “he always saw my potential and gave me a chance..” and more! Great work coach! You are making a difference!

Big results → winning culture.

Day 2 with Olympic sprinter BJ Lawrence and the speed just keeps climbing! 🔥 We focused on glute activation with monster walks and dialed in hamstring mobility to prep for top speed. The energy was unreal — no music needed when the vibes and PRs are this loud.
Huge shoutout to BJ Lawrence for stopping by and dropping elite sprint knowledge on our athletes today! 🧠📈
From top speed mechanics to next-level cues & drills, our crew got a rare opportunity to learn from a world-class OLYMPIC athlete.
This is how we LEVEL UP at Northwest 💪🏾
🔥 Speed day went CRAZY today! We timed 10-yard flys with lasers and had multiple PRs, including a new school record by our female athlete hitting 19.4 MPH 💨💪
In the weight room, we hit dynamic effort trap bar jumps using CMJ + inverse POP-100 to measure explosiveness ⚡
