Three Reasons High School S&C positions aren’t entry level:

1. Sheer volume of athletes - both overall and by session

2. Constraints - space, time, resources…your textbook methods are no good here

3. Outside interference - club, “trainers,” Dad + garage

[Erin Bratcher | MS, CSCS @ebratch_3]

Sport coaches, parents, athletes, clubs & organizations; PLEASE make sure you are working with a qualified professional in the S&C industry.

Let’s avoid allowing IG coaches access to hurt our athletes & lay foundations for more issues down the line.

Body language will add or subtract value to what’s being communicated with your athletes. If you care, square up to them, get on their level, look them in the eye, you’ll be surprised how much more of your coaching is absorbed when they can feel you care with nonverbal actions.

Lucky to have this guy in house getting our football guys prepped all summer long 🏈

[Justin Dottavio @CoachDottavio]

Contact Prep is a big part of what I do in the weight room. In North Carolina high school football players typically go without contact for 8 1/2 months. That's a great way to get injured during August Camp when contact starts back up. Come to camp prepared!

13 hours after winning the regular season championship this team is in the WR recovering and preparing for post season play. We we say “They earned that” we don’t mean just by what they do on the court. @MBball_cghsnc

Coaches have to be willing and capable of teaching now more than ever; the one and only way to combat this “I saw it on tik tok” culture.

When you work hard people want to work hard for you.

When we as coaches tell them to have fun we need to mean it. And make it possible.

PS all needs analysis should be taking into account an athletes outside factors including midterms which they just finished & other outside stressors such as tragic events involving their peers.

Today as I was conditioning two of my Meredith College teams we had a sudden change of plans.

It was intended to be a dreaded 45min of amphitheater sprints, jumps, & medleys. Though we started out as planned- as I was watching I couldn’t help but be reminded of the news I got

[Erin Bratcher | MS, CSCS @ebratch_3]

Purpose. They got better. It may not have been the most complicated & technical skill session but I am 100% confident each an every one of them walked away feeling better, & more prepared to perform better.

Yes we literally scattered gear and made a game out of it.
