S&C shouldn’t be more of the same. We are building outputs and resilience. I’m not gonna have RB’s doing RB drills. I’m sorry, I just won’t. I’m not a RB coach.
Professionals + fundamental speed and strength training. Yet every HS and college coach wants “sport specific training”. If that’s what you want then go practice your sport.
YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP🤯
Chase Heath hits a 3 run homer in the bottom of the 4th, making all of the Palm Beach runs scored so far the result of a homerun!
‘Spinal engine’ is another marketing tool. Studies on gait mechanics show ground reaction forces (from legs/feet) account for 80-90% of forward propulsion in walking/running. Spinal rotation is real but secondary a consequence of arm/leg swing for balance and momentum conservation, not the cause. A spinal surgeon here on X explained to me that it’s largely a misinterpretation of amputee data: Gracovetsky’s examples involved paraplegics or amputees using crutches/spinal motion for support, not efficient propulsion in intact humans. And that this doesn’t scale to normal bipedal gait. We must remain holistic.
Some of the greatest moments in sports history.

All the Nordic curls and RDL’s can’t truly prepare the hamstrings for the demands of sprinting. You HAVE to sprint. So much of injury prevention comes down to exposure.
I keep getting the question.. what is your favorite hamstring injury prevention exercise? ... Sprint Often !!!
The only thing that loads it like sprinting is sprinting. Don't preach specificity ... practice it.
Teams can’t get carried away in the end goal. If all you do is focus on winning a national championship; you’ll miss the mark. You have to win day by day, week by week… it’s these small goals that lead to the end goal.
Common traits of fast people from @jb_morin:
☑️ High levels of posterior chain strength & activation prior to ground contact
☑️ Efficient scissor coordination b/w thighs
☑️ No “power leaks” thru foot/ankle
☑️ Continued acceleration at very high speeds
