So you wanna be a high school strength coach….
Betcha won’t find in any text book/certification/online course on how to train 90+ kids in a single block/class in a 1200 square foot weight room…..
if I had a dollar for every time a kid comes to me & says:
"My AAU coach/7-on-7 coach said not to workout today because we have a big tournament this weekend"
Still have the best job in the world!!
If you told me 5 years ago that I would stop coaching football & get the privilege to be a full time high school S&C coach in NC, I would have laughed in your face & said your crazy.
Amazing how god works….
….so you will miss scheduled workouts with your team after school (free to you by the way) but will go to some “trainer” & pay to train with them at the butt crack of the night….
But maybe I’m the crazy one….
We would like to welcome

Establishing new normals..We train all sports that willingly want to “create connection”, “live true”, & “pursue excellence”. We don’t chase after sports/teams that don’t want to be a part of this standard.
Honored/humbled to be in the same conversation as these coaches! Tons of great HS S&C coaches in NC & to be labeled COY for NC is simply mind blowing. Proud to represent every athlete/student, teacher/coach, administrator at

It’s the little things…
If students/student-athletes from 7:15am-4:45pm that represent 13 different sports can reset the room on a daily basis…..
why can’t coaches do it when they bring their kids in after hours….

in 2012, I didn’t know a soul. Fresh outta college, in a strange new place with his first teaching/coaching job. Along with the current coaching staff, “The Rev” was one of the first to speak to me & made it feel like home.
Got this in the mail today! Still overwhelmed a bit by it all.Tons of great coaches in NC that do such an amazing job & to be named “coach of the year”, it’s tremendous honor. Thank you Coach Gray,

Last week, had the long awaited 1st day of FB in NC. That in itself was exciting. but right now, definitely have that “night before Christmas” feeling! 1st time since March, our students/athletes will get the opportunity to enter the weight room to train!
@NwCStrength
Football and S&C have been very good to me. So I I want to pay that foward. Click the link to gain access to an entire year of our lifting. The only cost I will ever ask of you, is a retweet and to find a way to pay it foward to someone else today.
I understand that school administrators must make changes to operate schools during today’s circumstances. However, eliminating or reducing PE and weight training classes can be harmful. via

Everyone wants 2 be a strength coach, unfortunately they don’t want to do what S&C coaches really do. It’s a bit more than just copying a “pre-made” workout u found online. Doing things the right way takes time & effort & I love every minute of it.
Everybody wants to be a strength coach, until it comes time to do what strength coaches do. Max week has been insane and I have been working on report cards for my students since 630am. Still have 2 more classes to go.
Blue Ridge parkway, NC mountains, linville caverns... pretty awesome weekend. To top it all off, she said “Yes”!
