Kicking off week two of the summer with another awesome @aleddy9 workout!! Keep grinding and getting after it fellas! KSA!

[Chari Hawkins @_charihawkins]

One of my FAVORITE drills… because it mimics running and gets our body to memorize mechanics. 👏🫶🙌

Remember: drills equal running form ✅✅✅

[Joe Kenn @bighousepower]

Athletes are getting longer rest periods. This is crucial for sports needing event-to-event recovery and for those with intense practice schedules. Smarter recovery leads to better performance. #AthleteTraining #Performance

[Andrew Leddy HSSCC @aleddy9]

@Coach_TWebb Say it louder for the sport coaches that ignore S&C all year and want sport specific training 8 weeks before their season starts.

[Joe Aratari @JoeAratari]

Want to increase your athletes effort, intent and consistency?

Test. Publish. Re-test.

What gets measured gets improved!

[Andrew Leddy HSSCC @aleddy9]

Tracking progress is important. If athletes don’t know if they are improving, they might lose interest. These⬇️ athletes have one thing in common…they show up with a growth mindset. Those that have not been consistent, have not seen much improvement. Funny how that works.🤷

[Tony Holler @pntrack]

As a coach, we can’t just DEMAND high-quality work, we must intentionally engineer it.

You can’t perform on a base of high-volume fatigue.

Tired is the enemy.

[Andrew Leddy HSSCC @aleddy9]

@CoachRGarner Lots of positives on that list. Hard to justify not doing them

[Andrew Leddy HSSCC @aleddy9]

Pete Bommarito used to preach about the art and science of coaching. Using these things is the science. Integrating them into your training program is the art.

[Joe Kenn @bighousepower]

Stop thinking in percentages or velocity alone. The sweet spot for training is where both meet. It's not one extreme or the other; it's the balanced integration. #FitnessTech #TrainingTips

[Joe Kenn @bighousepower]

The most effective training isn't generic; it's custom-built for the situation and the coach's capabilities. Tailored programs yield the best results. #Fitness #Coaching

@Mr_davisj I don’t like this take. Stress and strain, absolutely. I use VBT occasionally. It’s just a tool. Depends how you use it. It tells us to lower the weight sometimes, but usually it tells us to add weight. Had girls safely adding weight and hitting PRs yesterday while using VBT.🤷

[Andrew Leddy HSSCC @aleddy9]

@Brandon_L_Davis Easier than a rack pull

[Andrew Leddy HSSCC @aleddy9]

Same goes for Floor Press. Several reasons it can be a good change up. Yet, some won’t do it because the think it makes it “easier”🤔

[Travis Dresch @CoachDresch]

2-Board Press

Why do we use it?

✅ Builds stronger lockout strength✅ Allows athletes to handle heavier loads safely✅ Reduces shoulder stress compared to full range benching✅ Improves bar speed and force production✅ Great option for in-season athletes

Learning to sprint…. In middle school PE.

[Andrew Leddy HSSCC @aleddy9]

An easy way we use the Vertimax. Skater jumps. Light bands can work as well. A slam ball adds to the challenge.

[Brandon Davis, CSCS @Brandon_L_Davis]

This is l what I mean when I say that losing coaches love hard work.

Useless practice where no one gets better? Well that doesn’t feel very good.

Ending useless practice with “conditioning” so that you can equate tired with having accomplished something? Way easier on the ego.

[Brandon Davis, CSCS @Brandon_L_Davis]

The @CoachStokowski chart remains undefeated as a great 40 predictor. Fly 10 from 30-40. I hand timed the 40.

Guy 1:
0.99 4.84
0.99 4.88
1.02 5.00

Guy 2:
1.03 5.05
1.03 5.00
1.03 5.03

[Andrew Leddy HSSCC @aleddy9]

@Tony_Villani_ Add nearly .15-.2 to all of these times, then maybe

[Andrew Leddy HSSCC @aleddy9]

Leg day for high school and some middle school athletes can look like this.

[Andrew Leddy HSSCC @aleddy9]

Accessory work at the end of a workout can be a good time to get creative. I believe a good approach is grounded in science and sprinkled with creativity
