We train in season. We jump in season. Today 90% of our boys basketball team hit in-season PR's. Today is their play-in game. Thank you for coming to my ted talk

Why are kids still getting cleared to rush back from ACL repairs in 6-7 months?

Evidence suggests accelerated return to sport increases risk of re-injury.

Put it this way:

A) Do it right once = 9-12 months.

B) Fast-track & re-injury = 20-24 months.

I’ll take A. You?

We use a bastardized version of this for our first year athletes. It has worked wonders and is easy to build a system around. 10/10 would recommend.

Don't let perfect get in the way of better. This is exponentially better than nothing

[Deerick Smith @coachdeesmith]

HS athletes looking for a simple breakfast option that’s easy? Give this a try. Perfect? No, better than not eating? Yes!

We have been alternating between snatch grip and Hex bar weekly. This has allowed us to train both ends of the spectrum and provide a D-load for our athletes. This helps create a long run way for adaption and a 🐇🐇 builder in our room.

[Andy Bachelier @coachandybach]

Individualize weighted jumps:

1. Watch your athletes jump
if they stay vertical in the CM = Quad dominant
if they hinge in the CM = hip(posterior) dominant

2. load opposite of their natural dominance
QD = snatch grip jumps
HD = Hex bar jumps

When was the last time you asked yourself why? Slow down and consider "why" you make the 1000 different choices throughout the day. To live more full we have to dig deeper.

Take care of today, to secure what you want in the future.

[Andy Bachelier @coachandybach]

As a HS S&C professional, I could not care less about athletic scholarships. I want every athlete to leave my room knowing how to train safely, track progress, and have fun doing it. Everything else is gravy.

One of our starting varsity athletes (OL, wrestling, baseball) started having back issues this fall. We made the decision to stop back squaring and start zercher squats. His vert is up 2 inches, his strength levels are up, and he feels great. Train athletes not exercises.

[Andy Bachelier @coachandybach]

The current training model is broken. No one in the history of foreverdom has improved during competition. Yet, competition hours continue to exceed practice hours. More comp time is not the answer, work on your craft, not the show.

Baseball is a Power based sport. Build your ability to produce power and good things will happen

@CoachClayBewley @YorkStrength17 @kade_mcgee7 Just let the kids move. Unless it is a complete dumpster fire they are gonna learn to self organize. I like to only give feedback on "good reps" and follow with "feel" questions (how did that feel) to help them connect the dots.

@coachras_dce @coachandybach @garzstrength He's already built different coach, doesn't need more work 🤙🤙

Athletes… I’ll make this simple for you

If you are playing more games, practicing more etc. & losing weight

No speculation needed… you AREN’T eating enough

More activity = need for more calories

Importance of Hydration

The following occurs as fluid loss affects bodyweight:

2% decrease in body weight = a measurable decrease in performance

3% decrease in body weight = 5% loss in power output

5% decrease in bodyweight = 30% decreased work capacity

ATHLETICS RESULTS, 1/20!

Translation, If you don't train explosive ie at game/comp speed you can't expect to be explosive when the lights are on.

More for cat-feeders: "The nervous system only recruits muscles at speeds at which it has been trained. If it is not trained to recruit muscles quickly, the nervous system will not be able to respond appropriately." (Mike Clark, Integrating Reactive Neuromuscular Training, 2001)

[Marsha Frese @CoachFrese]

Parents-Some of you have gone a little mad hiring 🏀trainers for 5-yr olds. Go outside. Have fun with them. Play dribble tag. Get a shot or ✌🏻blocked. If you’re wanting to ‘train’ them. Train them that sports is fun. That laughing is easy & the time is well spent w/ family.

[Alan Bishop @CoachAlanBishop]

The misconception that resistance training is dangerous for children is not supported by scientific research

In fact, the opposite is true. Resistance training improves strength & increases Bone Strength Index, decreasing risk of sport-related injuries.

QUALITY MATTERS

The food you eat
The water you drink
The air you breathe
The sleep you get
The movements you do
The people in your circle
The thoughts you have

It's ok to have standards for the things that really matter in life
