I often hear coaches say that strength is the foundational quality that will raise all other qualities. Increases in usable strength can help an athlete run faster, jump higher and throw further. But what is the foundation of strength? It's movement efficiency! #LTAD
A 30 to 40 min training session with a few reps of maximal effort and a few sets of sub-maximal effort isn’t going to affect your club sports game performance 9 hours later. Your poor nutrition, and sleeping habits will. Put some weight on the bar and get stronger. 🦅💪🏻
What strength & conditioning is:
✅long term process
✅context dependent
✅sometimes kinda boring
What people want it to be:
✅10 second video clip
✅Black & white
✅Flashy
"stats show that only about 10 percent of elite 10-year-old athletes are still elite at 18. Only eight percent of Nobel Prize winners and world champions were child prodigies. In fact, the only thing that early success guarantees is … early success" (John O'Sullivan)
Early sports specialization gives the illusion of high level athleticism. The reality is that most youth sports lack any real physicality. It's no surprise we see the Olympic/D1 dream fall apart around age 13 when strength, power and speed become prerequisites for success in higher level sports.
Give the young athletes a fighting chance for the future by preparing them for that physicality now.

One of the most underrated aspects of Success is Consistency. People of ALL ages are still shocked why they are not getting better & ask for "advanced" advice.
Until you say, "Let's take a look at your attendance...."
Showing Up is THE ticket.

@RamStands - let’s make it a FUN night! (Rematch of State 🏈 Finals)!
So many fancy posts going on about training but the real issue for high school athletes is:
- lack of training consistency
- ineffective training
- poor nutrition
- poor lifestyle
Athletes come and go. The best athletes I've trained show up ALL year round.
