What sports have 12 in a weekend? I know basketball, lacrosse and many sports do too much, so I agree with you. But 12? Yikes! 🤕

When a head coach asks why you don’t program many Olympic lifts, your response can be as simple as, “we don’t need to.”
If you want to be explosive, you must do explosive things. 🤔🤔🤔👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Acceleration. Most athletes need to be good at it. For most, it’s not an easy position to get into. To get better at it, we do a few things. Today, we did wall drills, heavy sled marches, band resisted accel sprints, kneeling/2 point starts. No reps were longer than 10 yards

Summer training sessions: 90 minutes. In season sessions: 30 minutes. Get em in and out, be efficient, stay strong and powerful, be fresh, try to reduce injuries. Keep the main thing, the main thing. Even if it’s in small doses, be consistent in the weight room all year round.

Coaching high school athletes can be tricky. One minute you’re fine tuning a young adult preparing them for college competition. The next minute you’re working with 14-15 year old kids that are learning how to run and jump without falling over. There’s an art and science to it.

I like everything about this post. Only thing I would add: they are also caused from the inability to properly absorb and redirect forces. Athletes need to be able to control ankle dorsiflexion again and again. Ankle ROM and strong dorsi/plantar muscles are critical

Hip abductor muscles are crucial! They lift/rotate/move our leg, provide stability, and effect the overall health and function of our pelvis. Here’s a tri set we use in our warmups. Kneeling side raise, kneeling hip circles, side lying straight leg raise.

You biggest, strongest, most powerful athletes may need less BB bench, squat, power cleans etc. Instead, spend time helping their shoulders, hips, spine, and ankles stay healthy. Athletes can’t make plays if their back hurts all the time

Day 2. Multidirectional COD, then lower lift. Doing our lower lift at the end of day 2 allows us two days of good speed work before we do a lower lift. Keeps our legs fresh for both speed sessions.

Deep squats can be good. But much like your drawings, the length/ proportions of their spine,femur,and tibia will decide how low they go. Effort won’t change their foldability. No matter how much they want to win.

Had some kids today that wanted to spend the morning talking about how tired they were. I asked them to walk a lap, get their mind right and clock in! Monday morning can be tough on some, we gotta keep the vibe positive and full of effort. “If you’re juiceless, you’re useless!”

Most schools don’t have time to worry about a CSCS. If you have a education degree/license, they can hire you to run the weight room. A cert won’t get you paid more and won’t give you an edge. Have an education degree and be buds with the football coach and you’re a shoe in

@CoachSierra58
Experienced over certified. Getting your CSCS or any of the others does not mean you know how to properly progress/coach a person. Someone with no experience could obtain a cert. But, similar to a Masters degree, a top cert should be encouraged and compensated for.

Hate seeing young kids skip school the day after a game. Doesn’t matter the sport you play or what you do the night before, being on time the next day matters. More than most think. Some kids already know what it feels like to quit, let’s teach them to be tough instead of soft.

Stop calling it a girls push-up, girls bar, or treating young ladies like they aren’t as tough as the boys. Make them a priority in your wt room. Modify pups and equipment as needed, but call it modified, don’t label it as “for girls.” Let’s push the stereotype the other way.

Slowing it down so we can go fast! Taking time to feel your weight shift outside your center of mass (or onto the outside edges of your feet) can help an athlete tolerate deeper angles when changing direction or exploding laterally. Don’t waste time with extra steps.

You’re not wrong. But what you do in the weight room could be the reason he is still healthy and has fresh legs at this point in the season. For top level athletes, they don’t need S&C to be a better athlete, but they do need it to stay healthy and be available all season.

There are some exercises that fall into the category of “boring, but effective.” This is one of them. TKE(terminal knee extension) is easy to coach/perform. One way to work on your VMO/knee stability. Now you can get rid of your giant knee extension machine!

Hamstrings help with extension at the hip and flexion at the knee. Make sure to pick a variety of movements to train the hammies. Here’s 2. SL SLDL and kneeling hamstring eccentrics. Challenging movements that are easy to implement & progress.

During the drive portion, yes they are crossing over a little bit. During a forward lateral run there is some adduction. I think the point is to shuffle and crossover, which they do, and then burst/sprint and come to balance. Good drill to hammer read steps

If your school has a qualified S&C coach, it is important admin/athletic directors require teams to utilize him or her. Otherwise, there’s a good chance your sport coach will be running bodybuilding splits or omitting important pieces to athletic development.

tough to keep an athlete healthy during the season. Especially if they are maxing out, chasing PRs, lifting with poor form, and injuring themselves. Which is what I’ve seen the last few weeks with a few kids. The Weight room can be extremely beneficial or the opposite.

Strength and speed development is vital for all athletes, not just ftball. If your school provides football players with Wt training during the school day, a paid S&C coach during the off-season/summer but provide nothing for the rest of the sports, what’s your reasoning? Why?

Accommodating resistance. Bands change the resistance profile. Instead of the movement getting easier as you near lockout, it gets harder. Leads to better power development.

My thought is that the cramping, if isolated, is caused my localized muscle fatigue. Usually I see very weak ankle dorsiflexor muscles in those with “calf” cramping. Improve the function/durability of those muscles, you’ll see cramping go down

Sometimes it’s necessary to slow it down. Before speed work today, we worked on crawling, hip mobility/strength, and ankle mobility/strength. Building stronger hips and ankles sets the bar for everything else to develop!

If possible, your sport coach(es) shouldn’t be responsible for S&C. It should be a separate hire. An angry Defensive Coordinator that is also the S&C coach increases the chances for cruel and abusive conduct. Hire a S&C coach for all teams/athletes and this likely doesn’t happen

Don’t neglect tempo with your weight room movements. Tell athletes the speed the weight needs to be moving. Down slower/up faster etc. I see lots of posts about rep schemes/volume but progressing tempo is crucial when it comes to getting the adaptations you want

You can do more, you can do less. But here is a simple routine to add to your warmups.

2. Ankle circles R/L x5 each way
3. Heel walk F/B x5yd
4. Toe walk F/B x5yd
5. Single leg calf raise x10e

If you coach athletes, there’s a good chance you should include rotational movements in their program. If those athletes kick or throw a ball, you DEFINITELY need to include them.

The purpose of a S&C coach is to make you better at your sport. If they do their job well, you’ll be better at your sport and results will speak for themselves. For most athletes, chasing a 1RepMax ain’t gunna cut it.

5 yard lateral run to Sprint. We are starting to get it! Not perfect. Working on powerful crossover, working to stay square, snapping into an athletic base at the turn, covering 5 yards with 4 concise steps, good lean at the turn, good transition to a linear sprint.
