@AchenCohen has been putting in consistent work and is all around a great Canadian kid. Watching his dedication the last three years in the off season, this is no surprise to me. Keep up the work buddy.

The top returning pitchers in NAIA, according to DIGS! Cohen Achen's 152 DIGS+ leads all returners, while UBC's Heppner brothers each make an appearance in the top 10. Don't sleep on the AAC's ace, Daniel Willie! #NAIABall

Youth athletic development is not about doing highly organized serious training programs.
It's about getting the kids to have fun and love it so much that they continue to
train when the training does get serious. #LTAD
If you want to learn how train young athletes to improve skills, have fun and will enjoy training for years down the road, DM me for details on youth athletic development programs and courses.

Development athletes want to train like their idols… veteran athletes look at the training of their rivals. #TrustTheProcess

How the Pathway Model is Killing Sport

If you're looking for a reason for the problems that sports are experiencing, look no further than the pathway model. The pathway model is something that most sporting systems have embraced around the world. It basically says: let's get kids in the door - get them onto a court or onto a field or into a pool, and from the moment they start there, let's put them on this imaginary linear pathway to take them from that beginning point, maybe at five six seven eight years of age, through to Olympic glory. But very very few people actually want to play at professional level, they just want to play with their mates and have fun.

The key is to abandon the pathway model and just make sport a wonderful experience for everybody who turns up. If they learn to love the sport and if they fall in love with the sport, if they've got any talent at all it'll shine through, and they'll become extraordinary.

What people think program individualization is:

- Different exercises, styles & templates for every single athlete

What program individualization usually is:

- Unique coaching cues
- Different loading/rep schemes
- Progressions/regressions of similar movement patterns

Sometimes people on here say the most ridiculous, physiologically non-sensical things, with comical degrees of certainty. Still, I have to remind myself...

[Jorge Carvajal @carvperformance]

If I have to pick the two most important lifestle factors to control and manipulate in order to improve performance—

1. Nutrition
2. Sleep
