Got the privilege to be honored last night as an MEC star educator. I was chosen by Grayson Mealy. Grayson excels not only in his athletics but academics and he will continue to have success because he works hard, is disciplined and is always consistent in his work!

[Brandon Van Matre @bvanmatre29]

Great example of the opportunities for our students at @WesDelSchools & @WDElementary …had the opportunity and privilege to present at the annual Career Day about my job as a S&C coach, what led me to this profession, and my WHY! Kids got to lift some weights at the end as well

Spring break for the last 6 years (and a couple times prior) I’ve read this book. Quick and easy read, but invaluable content!

Goes for all sports! Be smart about it… lift heavy, keep the volume a little lower so you don’t get too beat up… there’s no reason you can’t be stronger going into post season than you were at the start of season!!

[Brandon Van Matre @bvanmatre29]

@SquatUniversity 20x10 back squats… start at 10RM and drop 5-10lbs each set… unfortunately figured out if I did my last 10 sets at 100kg it would put me at 50,000lbs of volume for the workout… was unbelievably sore for 6 days

[Brandon Van Matre @bvanmatre29]

Well deserved! Kid works harder than most, and it’s paying off

[Wes-Del Athletics @WesDelAthletics]

Congratulations to Josiah Love for reaching your 1,000 point last evening. #wdpride #LockIn

2024 book list… didn’t get through as many as past years, but I took on a few books that were much longer and much more in depth than I usually do… I used to be all about wanting to read more each year, but I think as long as I’m reading, I’m continually learning and growing

[Brandon Van Matre @bvanmatre29]

A lot of times as a coach you always wonder what kind of impact you make on your athletes… well yesterday I walked into the weightroom to see one of my students wearing an Austin 3:16 t shirt blasting Creed on the speakers… needless to say it was a proud moment

[Travis Dresch @CoachDresch]

The weight room is an educational setting. A 2 min demo can give student-athletes visual on why we do what we do. There’s not one right way to train, but smarter ways to train throughout the year. #cedarcreststrong #reachyourpotential

Pretty straight forward 💯💯

Heard it from one of the best!!

[Tommy Moffitt @TommyMoffitt]

Back squats are the secret weapon of football strength training. They improve speed, power, and agility—all critical components of on-field performance

A full-time strength coach in high schools is a game-changer for student-athletes, promoting health, performance, and injury prevention. #StrengthCoach #HighSchoolAthletics
