“What if the way we always did it was wrong “ ….a refreshing and progressive mindset is the key to continuous improvement in training our young athletes.

Thanks @mboyle1959 for your perspective and insight.

Really good post. Coaches and parents are the keys to getting kids to work out. Start in middle school and don’t stop! 2x52
Two workouts a week 52 weeks a year will change a kid.

50 is not too late to start an exercise program. But the decline from 50 to 65 will be significant if you do not start exercise.

[Michael Boyle @mboyle1959]

One simple fitness test will tell you all you need to know ( who trained and who didn’t). Bad coaches work on conditioning either out of ignorance or because they don’t know how to structure a practice. Practice alone is more stress than you need.

With one question, Deion Sanders gave a student reporter a ‘life-changing moment’

Great empathy from a man of such status and record of success.
Everyone has a story and obstacles. Some more than others.
Great reminder of what is possible https://t.co/GzoaRqbYCf

This could have been written about my father. I have shared the same experiences over my lifetime. Congrats.

@JPowell215 @CoachShiffman 100% correct take : the standards have gone so low that many think it’s ok to use the phrase and language he does .
Does not matter what the standards are in music videos and on the playground : they need to be better by coaches .
Coaches can have a better standard than this

[Greg Lawlor @greglawlor]

So the Vancouver Canucks management has asked the team to make their star player “tougher”
In consecutive days he has had in practice confrontations with teammates : including one who’s 6ft7.

This sounds like a good plan 😳😳
Nothing to see here. https://t.co/dOcBXm72cn?

Outstanding article breaking down different single leg exercises, their demands and how to program !!

#strengthcoach

[Michael Boyle @mboyle1959]

The best exercise we don’t do enough? Alternate lunges. Alternate lunges are the only exercise we perform that deals with deceleration. Don’t confuse forward lunges with walking lunges or slideboard lunges both good exercises but accelerative “pulls”.
