[Adam Archuleta @AdamArchuleta]

110% - Same thing happened to me throughout my career… my teammates that spent all summer running 110’s and 300 yard shuttles to “get ready” for conditioning test and camp. I did the opposite. Nothing less than max speed effort - with absolutely minimal “running”.
Guess who was ready for actual football?

The goal isn’t to go longer than everyone else and not “get tired”.
The goal is to be faster, absorb force and create force better and longer than everyone else. You don’t absorb or create enough force during by conditioning.

I can also claim that never once in my career - college or NFL - did I experience a cramp in game or practice - and It had little to do with hydration - because my nervous system was prepared for what I was asking it to do. Force absorption is the name of the game.…

We’ve seen the same thing with our High School kids. Once we changed the way we train and got rid of the nonsensical conditioning, we are faster and in far superior condition. We have almost zero soft tissue sprains or tweaks. In fact, the only kids who do have some sort of issue are the ones who didn’t show up to train consistently or had their own “private” trainer that overworked them.

In my short time working with High School kids - I have learned a fast lesson that “Burning the Steak” is a real thing with conditioning / sub maximal work being one of the primary offenders..

From early morning workouts, school, and all the other things in their schedule they do not recover enough to be at the best.

Final note… Nothing sucks the life out of a performance based culture than mind numbing conditioning….

Keep up the good work Tony!

Understand This:

Gains do not happen during training.

Gains happen during your RECOVERY from training.

No recovery, no gains.

Don't fool yourself into thinking the job is done after a 45 minute workout.

[Dan Cleather | Strength and Conditioning @dr_jump_uk]

The curve would probably make sense if we changed the y-axis from "force" to "applied external load". This isn't just semantics. As we have seen, just because the load is smaller it doesn't mean the force production requirements are also lower.

Folks need to do their Homework.. The Saints had a drastic change over the offseason over 25 players transferred out and they brought in a new Coaching Staff they had to play their D1 Schedule because you cant just scratch your schedule clean every year if they would of had a D3/D4 Schedule and gone 0-10 no way they make the playoffs . D3 was not a cake walk for them they were in 3 Close game games and pulled out the victories .

[STA Speed & Strength @STASTRENGTH]

@SDFNLMagazine @Daygofootball We actually played 4 teams that were in the finals plus we scrimmaged granite making it 5. This was an absolutely crazy scenario for the kids…they battled all season and stepped up in playoffs. There were no blow outs all hard fought games. Much respect to the teams we played.

* Key starters transfer to rival schools
* Hires Ron Caragher, finish 2024 regular-season 0-10
* Controversially seeded in D3 Playoffs

Stronger Athletes Sprint Faster!

The only way to overcome gravity is through ground force…

If you want to sprint faster, then Strength Training must be present in your training all year! 🙌🏻

The Four Agreements ‼️

[Tony Holler @pntrack]

Ways to gamify practice.

1) Create performance-level, game-like conditions in practice. (If your practice never resembles the game, what the hell are you doing?)

2) Compete! Keep score. Time things. Measure stuff. Record-Rank-Publish. (Poker played without money ain’t poker.)

3) Promote an atmosphere of cut-throat playfulness… serious fun… intense joy.

4) Feed the Cats!
