Parents need to understand this. The days of running someone off and there being 20+ qualified applicants are OVER!!!

Many times you run someone off and there is NO ONE who applies for the job…

Tom Izzo on Michigan State losing their president and AD 😳

"I'll be very honest: I can't stand what's going on... I've had it. This is self-inflicted. We just lost the best president that's ever been here... I'm very upset about it. And I'm sick of it."

I hate being asked “how tall is he\she?” I hate it so much. Get yourself some good players that are passionate and coach. 80% of these kids with size can’t play anyways. You look good walking through the airport and walking in the gym.

VBT is a tool, not a method.

A master coach is like a master craftsman: the quality of the work comes from understanding the principles and methods, not from owning great tools.

VBT IS a great tool—but it’s not a method.

Coaches who can’t differentiate this are at risk.

[Inside the Gators @InsideTheGators]

I have never seen this technique used until I saw it on Rusty Whitt's Instagram.

According to Google, it isn't utilized anywhere near as much as traditional (across the shoulders) or front squats, but is gaining traction because the movement forces intense core and upper back engagement, encourages an upright posture, and reduces spinal compression.

If you made $500,000 per day, every single day since the Great Pyramids were built, you would have less than half of what the US govt has borrowed since June.

A few months ago, @TylerYearby, @fab_otte & I heard that Skill Acquisition Specialists weren't needed in pro sports b/c they "could compete with coaches who already possess significant skill acquisition expertise, potentially diluting, rather than enhancing, their hard-won intuition”.

This is the type of "skill acquisition expertise" that is often on display by the coaches in the NFL.

Precisely, why we make the argument that SAS are needed RIGHT NOW more than ever!

It’s time for NFL staffs to hire skill coaches to set up drills & help players improve/acq skill. They are great at tech and scheme, S&C handles the weight room and conditioning, but there is a real void when we see this at every practice. This is time improvement could happen

[Alex Morse @zanderSC14]

@yoursimmo11 Sir, this is misleading. Zero traces of cyanamide are present in creatine. Also, a 10oz ribeye costs roughly $10-$16 and only contains 0.5-1.0g of creatine. Your suggestion is expensive, impractical and would require individuals to eat 2-4lbs of steak a day.

At max velocity, elite sprinters don’t always reach full knee extension before the leg is already recovering. Ralph Mann showed that the small force gain from completing that extension isn’t worth the cost as it increases ground contact time and slows the whole process down.

[Fred Duncan @Fred__Duncan]

When training for speed, most build the weight room around the same foundation…heavy, explosive, multi-joint movements that develop the force production capacity their athletes need to run fast.

Variable resistance was the most used method at 79%. Eccentric work at 63%.

If you put your kid in this “training” at 7yo it is nothing more than a fancy daycare

At 7-14yo your kid doesn’t need training or to specialize in a sport. They need to be a kid.

Play multiple sports. Play pickup sports with their friends outside. Not every waking moment needs to be scheduled for kids.

If you disagree with me then go listen to all the pro athletes who say the same thing

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Lou Holtz turned around 4 programs within 2-3 years using the same 5 rules.
• Arkansas: 5-5-1 to 11-1.
• Notre Dame: 5-6 to 12-0.
• South Carolina: 0-11 to 8-4.

Not with new talent or more money - just 5 rules.

Simple, repeatable, and powerful.

In 2008, 62% of teachers said they were very satisfied with their job.

In 2022, that dropped to 12%.

We've got a serious problem brewing in education...
