Be intentional!

[Richard Kompf @RichardKompfKTS]

If your dynamic effort workout lays more than an 45 minutes to an hour (lifting portion) you’re doing it wrong

[Richard Kompf @RichardKompfKTS]

Minimal effective dose is a great concept for training optimally but don’t use it as an excuse not to train hard. Athletes must be durable and be able to handle massive stressors without breaking

[Richard Kompf @RichardKompfKTS]

The perfect program on paper might be the worst program logistically

[Richard Kompf @RichardKompfKTS]

A strong athlete will always recover faster from injury than a weak one

[Richard Kompf @RichardKompfKTS]

Bringing a ball that’s specific to your sport into the weight room doesn’t make your training “sport specific” the weight room is not your sport

[Richard Kompf @RichardKompfKTS]

I especially love it when a college strength and conditioning coach sends out a summer program with no warm up attached to it….

[Richard Kompf @RichardKompfKTS]

One of the dumbest things I see is when a freshman is going into a new college program and the strength coach sends them a strength and conditioning program with no context of who they are as an individual athlete.

Doing a lunge and a curl at the same time is a great example of a trainer seriously misunderstands the method of “full body training”

Any person who’s ever succeeded has also felt like a failure many times before the “success”

[Richard Kompf @RichardKompfKTS]

The number 1 indicator of future success in your sport is ownership over your own progress

Ask questions

Be curious

Enjoy the process

No one should want you to succeed more than you.

Tricep murder with @RichardKompfKTS getting ready for this fall! 🏈

Starting training a month before the season starts is like starting to study for a test 30 seconds before the test starts

Me- eat Steak regularly

High school athlete- I don’t want high cholesterol

Me-...

High School athletes- (hasn’t eaten a real whole food that isn’t processed in weeks)

Me- you’ll be okay

[Richard Kompf @RichardKompfKTS]

Effort is one of the few things we can always control, too often I see how someone is feeling that day controls their effort. This is the ONLY thing you have full control over. Get your head right or don’t complain when you’re not the athlete you wanted to be

[Richard Kompf @RichardKompfKTS]

Here’s a great alternative to depth jumps to train the elastic qualities of the muscles while saving the joint #verticaljump #strengthandconditioning #strengthcoach

Strength is the great equalizer.

[Richard Kompf @RichardKompfKTS]

Two training approach mistakes I see

1. Athlete does not want to challenge themselves when using heavy weights at of fear of being sore and influencing current performance

2. Athlete is too quick to progress in load, resulting in being overly sore

Train optimally.
