I was most struck by what Balogun said about his reaction to the red card.
“There are lots of people we’re inspiring, boys and girls watching, you have to show them the right way to handle things,” Balogun said. “Even when you think it’s unjust.”

What do I notice about these professional athletes training?
1) The exercise selection is insanely simple.
2) Their intent in their training is insanely high.
Not everyone can be a professional athlete.
But everyone can relatively train like one.
Keep it simple but train with MEAN INTENT!
This is going to be the most simple, yet effective breakdown of how to get faster for your sport.
1) Get strong enough. No there’s not a thing as being too strong but.. if you’re the strongest athlete in the room and not the fastest… that’s a sign to work more speed/power into your program See @pbasilstrength strength standards chart.
2) Once you get strong enough, train at sub max weight and move that weight as fast as possible. If you have VBT, use it. If not.. get the weight to rattle. I love using @VitruveFit
3) Do more athletic stuff. Skips/bounds/plyos etc… basically if all you do is lift and you’re pretty good at that you should probably spend more time on the field and track doing more athletic stuff. I don’t know many better than @houndsspeed for this content
4) Sprint short distances, at max speed, with max rest. See @BrendanThompsn for a lot of great sprint based workouts.
Many teenage athletes are looking for the secret exercise or program, but they really ought to recognize that the best kept secrets are actually high-quality nutrition and sleep when these things are heavily overlooked by so many young athletes. Instant competitive advantage.
Interview with JT Realmuto on MLB network about his routines.Lifts 6 days/week in offseason.Lifts after every game in season. 3-5 lifts takes about 15-20 minutes.Says it keeps his body right.
Too many young baseball players say they can’t lift during spring and summer seasons…
Two new adds on this Tuesday! 👊
We've signed forward Jimmy O'Kane, and also added forward Anthony Cinato on a PTO. Additionally, we've released defenseman Alex Norwinski.
Welcome to Jimmy & Anthony! And thanks for all of your hard work, Alex! 👍

“How do you motivate your athletes?”
I don’t . Motivation doesn't last
Here's what keeps them coming back:
- Purpose: We’re here to get better, stay healthy, and win
- Experience: The weight room is the best party on campus. They love it
- Results: High ROI on time invested
