@clh_strength Agreed.

That’s the ultimate goal. I’ll reach out when I find/create one worth noting

Somewhere, a skinny 13 year old baseball player is still afraid to lift weights. Meanwhile, this guy lives in the weight room & is throwing 102 mph at 38 years old

@Brandon_L_Davis Are you mostly assessing broad jump during training, “games day” or a dedicated testing day? If intra-workout, are your athletes collecting/recording data or are you spending the time doing it?

Monday = Heavy Weights! @devonscott_72 @SelectFP09

[Brooke Stephenson (2031) @BrookeStep2031]

Monday PRs! @devonscott_72 @SelectFP09

Girls. Training. And ACL Tears.

Girls don't need a 3 day ACL program or a 5 minute ACL Warm up.

Girls don't need a 6-8 wk bootcamp.

It is not a one off thing you do in a 3 day clinic or a 10 minute warm up. It's not a bootcamp right before the season just to not continue with training while in-season.

Girls need sound, progressive and comprehensive S&C 2-3x wk for at least 40 wks during the year during their off and in-season competition periods.

Quad Strength. Glute strength. Landing mechanics. Deceleration. Pivoting/Twisting. Taking contact. Conditioning. Agility. Isometrics. Power work. Etc.. cannot be neglected for weeks or MONTHS on end. It is total negligence to go months without a weight room session or even a break in a kids schedule to make time for training.

It's a year round plan of attack to do the best we can to mitigate risk.

Girls sports and those involved need to do better and what is in our power/control.

High School S&C coaches see 300-500+ students a day with fully bought in school systems.

It’s critical you hire a qualified person, but also the right-fit to train and impact your students daily

If you get this hire right it’ll be the most impactful hire you make in the school

[John G. Patrick @Coachjgpatrick]

The weight room is the most influential room in a school.
It’s not a place to hang out — it’s a classroom.
A place where habits are built, standards are set, and character is developed.

Love working weights with @devonscott_72
@SelectFP09

[Brooke Stephenson (2031) @BrookeStep2031]

Working weights and agility with @devonscott_72 New PR on front squat and squeezed out 5 reps! @SelectFP09

[Gerry DeFilippo @Challenger_ST]

Such an underrated pre-game or practice variation for athletes, especially jumping focused sports

Great way to prime vertical outputs

High eccentric force exposure can enhance amortization phase of jumps (transition from loading to vertical output)

[Joe Aratari @JoeAratari]

Guys, I told you last week…

I’m telling you again…

There is no way you can get more athletic by training (for FREE) at your public HS program. It’s just not possible.

😉

[Joe Aratari @JoeAratari]

Yuck…. 🤮 what is this nonsense.

[Devon Scott, CSCS @devonscott_72]

@Brandon_L_Davis What’s been your experience so far, are you seeing any trends? I’ve considered this a lot recently for experienced groups

[Coach Johnson (Coach O) @CoachFosterPC]

Imagine being a high school coach, sending film of your players to over 400 college coaches, only to hear nothing back. Then, those same coaches publicly post, "Class of '25, send me your film." I’ll keep working hard for my players. Just remember their names when they’re the reason your team gets beat by them in the future!

FINAL:
Mexico does it! The Bulldogs take down undefeated Kirksville in double overtime. Mexico moves on to the district semifinals.

[Devon Scott, CSCS @devonscott_72]

@Mr_davisj @Tier1athlete I’ve seen similar results and I’m located in rural Missouri. Parents that are willing to pay thousands for travel ball and equipment annually don’t often bat an eye at $100-200 weekly

[Tim Cortazzo @T_Cortazzo]

“No one is dreading the workout... No one is worried about if this is going to be hard or if this is going to suck.”

PRODUCTIVITY > DIFFICULTY

If your athletes enjoy what they’re doing,
BUY IN goes ⬆️, EFFORT goes ⬆️

[Tim Cortazzo @T_Cortazzo]

Kalen Walker ran 22.83 & 11.42 as a Junior in HS

Committed to a JUCO where he ran 21.5 & 10.8

1st year at Iowa runs 10.6

4 years later he FINALLY runs 10.09

Training to be fast isn’t a sometimes thing and it’s certainly not instantaneous.

If you want to be fast, you better be willing to put in the work and be patient for 6+ years.
