Freshmen beginning your college athletic experience: after 8 years as a college strength coach, here is my advice for you:
1. Be on time
2. Be coachable
3. Say please and thank you
4. Look people in the eye and have a firm handshake
5. Listen and keep your opinions to yourself

Many good strength coaches, or great strength coaches, are having success more because of their personality than they are because of their programming.

@mboyle1959 When both of my kids were born, I opened up UTMA accounts that I am putting a small amount per month into, and my plan is to turn them over as surprises on their 18th birthdays.

It will be my lesson for them on discipline and remaining committed to mundane prcoesses we know work

On September 23, 1988, Ernest and Anneke Robinson welcomed the birth of their son, Matthew Stanford Robinson.

Matthew was born with severe disabilities. Due to a lack of oxygen, he was blind and paralyzed from the neck down.

Doctors said Matthew would only live for a few hours, but somehow, Matthew lived to be 10-and-a-half years old.

When it came time for Matthew to rest in 1999, Ernest decided his gravestone should be beautiful and unique, depicting Matthew in his truest form and signify hope rather than grief.

@tdathletesedge @timkettenring Learning how to regress and modify exercises to the extent that I learned as a personal trainer might be the most valuable thing I gained and utilize in my current setting. Supremely underrated learning experience and skill I think all coaches should develop.

@DMcConnell29 Could you argue that all of those options are appropriate progressions depending on what you are trying to improve on the power/capacity continuum and when? What are your thoughts?

@AdamThackery @uscfb Congrats Adam! Welcome to southern California!

In the end, the best approach is the one that fits your lifestyle.

And, that you can stick with *most of the time*..

..while also giving yourself the grace to acknowledge;

You’re gonna fall off at times when life gets crazy.

[Jack McCormick @jack3485]

Something I’ve changed my mind on.

In the past, I think I overvalued who was “strongest” or most “conditioned” on a team.

Now, I’d rather gather the total profile of performance parameters of the coach’s proclaimed “best” player, and try to just make more players like them.
