Training Mistake: Waiting until you’re “100%” to train will get you nowhere fast. “100%” hardly comes by. Show up daily and give what you have. The results will come.

Why movement first? Why do that primarily with middle school? It is much easier to teach a good MOVER (can sprint, jump, cut, has a large movement bank/good literacy) how to excel in the weight room… Than it is to teach a weight room warrior how to move in the field

“No pain, no gain” Just because you feel the burn, that doesn’t mean your workout was good. What are you training for?

For more advance advanced athletes that need some more strength/size but have hit a plateau: Pyramids (Ex: 5,4,3,2,1,2,3,4,5) ✅Volume ✅ Intensity ✅Accounting for fatigue

Given as much as I talk about sprinting and preach its importance and benefits, it may seem it’s the only thing I do with my athletes.

All in all, the notion that “just do some lighter sets/slower reps” may not be ideal. It is not inherently wrong, but we can squeeze more juice out if we are more dialed in 🔥

By tailoring warm ups to the task, it allows us to better dial in and focus our mental energy to the appropriate areas of the focus ⚡️ This is why a specific warm up for sprinting would be more ideal than just a jog, for instance.
