Here’s a big message for you coaches

Focus more on retaining clients.

I have clients that I’ve been with for 10yrs. Most of my clients stay a minimum of 4-5yrs.

That means, consistent income and less having to consistently market all the time.

Why Hypertrophy Matters

The increase in cross-sectional size of a muscle allows you to have potential to produce more force.

Working in the 3-5 rep range is great for improving Neural Drive and Max Strength.

But don’t neglect the 8-15 range for hypertrophy

[John Davis, CSCS, Pn1, OPEX @Mr_davisj]

Having other coaches in your facility who are experts at their craft really is a cheat code.

I’m surrounded daily by coaches in:

- Powerlifting
- Tennis
- weightlifting
- T&F
- Gymnastics
- Swimming

We constantly bounce ideas off each other

And just to further emphasis this difference, here are the force time curves. It is clear that the pattern of force expression is very different.

[Dan Cleather | Strength and Conditioning @dr_jump_uk]

This is a huge difference. It is this stimulus that we are seeking when we incorporate Olympic lifts in our programme. I would contend that this particular characteristic of the Olympic lifts is difficult to recreate from other means.

[Dan Cleather | Strength and Conditioning @dr_jump_uk]

But the rate of force development in a clean is 5 (5!) times higher:

You think Ace Bailey wants to be great?

Has 24 and 11 and leads his team to a huge road win at Nebraska

After the game, he is right back to the grind

Young players: THIS is what it looks like

Tip For All Coaches
…

Set your initial 90 day deadlines and goals before Monday!

The first 3 months of the year are crucial for establishing momentum.

Take full advantage of this wave of motivation you and others have.

Did a full body lift today with my guy @_kevonn22. An athletic wing with wiggle and deep range from 3. Plays great on ball defense as well. View below to see the full workout.

If you truly want to be successful in your field you need to focus on what people need, how can you fill that need, and also how can you compete against others who can fit that same role?

[Brick By Brick Performance Training @bxbperformance]

Add this to the end of your workout to focus on internal rotation and end range capacity

[Brick By Brick Performance Training @bxbperformance]

Basketball is about pace but we can’t preach things that haven’t been taught to athletes. This simple drill of starting and stopping helps an athlete learn how to accelerate (start) and decelerate (stop). The two play a key role in pace and I’ll go over that in the next tweet.

[Brick By Brick Performance Training @bxbperformance]

Medball push sprints are a great tool to help your athletes develop a better first step. The emphasis of pushing the ball as they are starting their sprint forces them to propel themselves forward. This propulsion is what carries over to an explosive first step.

[Brick By Brick Performance Training @bxbperformance]

Here’s another ballistic workout where we are changing directions. Medball slam, lateral bound, to a box jump.

In basketball terms pro hop to the box by using a medball.

[Brick By Brick Performance Training @bxbperformance]

Step backs are more than just a basketball move. It is seen in many sports that involve us to read and react against opposing players. It is our natural ability to first break, then create space by going away from the opposing player. See how we train it within the weight room

Oldie but goodie @journeymansean @JusinOchoa317

[Brick By Brick Performance Training @bxbperformance]

In an era of “dribble moves” are your, basketball players, physically able to do pullback and step back moves?

If not training the body in the gym with low level plyos, can help us transfer over that movement skill we need physically, that can be expressed with a ball

[Mike Jagacki @Mike_Jagacki]

Under-sized players need to be active in the post. Sometimes battling and fronting just isn't enough. Pippen was the all-time best at this - sometimes you had to avoid contact to gain an advantage

[Mike Jagacki @Mike_Jagacki]

When we talk about post defense, first and foremost, we have to battle for position. The cliche, "do your work early" especially if under-sized.
- Beat to spots, hold ground and cause some frustration
- Lower leverage wins

This also allows for off day skill work on T- Th without overtraining.

3 Day Programs

Ive become a huge fan of three day programs.

For our summer business four days works better but if i was starting over Id do 3.

3 days gives us three total body days which means we can sprint, jump, throw and do lower body every day but not back to back.
