#1 Goal is Strength & Conditioning is to keep athletes healthy: ✅ Reduce injury rates ✅ Feeling good, mobile ✅ Fresh on game day Are those things happening? If so, you’re running a good program

It’s always fascinated me that college and professional sports organizations with the best coaches in the world trust qualified S&C coaches to handle performance. But at the high school level, coaches with no background at all often wear that hat. Put the kids first before ego.

Due to the current climate in high school sports and school settings, the majority of athletes will graduate having never worked with a truly qualified and capable strength and conditioning coach.

Private skill trainers who know their high school kids are training six days a week with their high school program and push them to come do extra skill sessions at night/after Saturday games/on Sundays are negligent. It’s no surprise how injured / beat up and physically underdeveloped our kids are.

The weight room is the most influential room in a school. It’s not a place to hang out — it’s a classroom. A place where habits are built, standards are set, and character is developed.

People always ask what makes DST different. Truth is, we don't run some cookie-cutter program and call it a day. We actually sit down and figure out what matters right now for each kid or athlete. 8-12 year olds? We're building rock-solid movement patterns, confidence, and genuine love for the process—no rushing into early specialization that burns kids out before they even hit high school. High school crew? Speed, power, injury-proofing, and position-specific work to get them noticed. College & pros? Fine-tuning the details that separate good from elite—recovery, velocity, durability when the season grinds. The coolest part? We've watched some of these same athletes roll through our doors as little 10-year-olds with big dreams... and now they're out there living those dreams at the professional level. Same kid, same work ethic, just leveled up year after year because we met them where they were and kept pushing the target forward. If you're serious about long-term growth hit us up. Youth to the show, we've been doing this for 15+ years. 💪 #DSTfamily #BuiltDifferent"

Don’t wish away today chasing tomorrow. ATHLETES: Play because you love it. Not for the rankings. Not for the scholarships. Not for the applause. One day you'll look back and realize the "little" moments were actually the best ones. #PureAthlete #YouthSports #YouthBaseball #Baseball #BusterPosey #ParentingAdvice

Strength and conditioning coaches reduce the likelihood of injury and reduce the potential severity of the injury. We do not and cannot prevent it from happening. It might sound like semantics, but it is not. Suppose you were the head S&C at either organization and you get hired because you told the GM and owner you can prevent injuries. Now this morning they call you into their office and say why didn't you prevent these injuries? What will you say? Football is a violent game, I wish we could prevent injuries from happening, but we can't.

Carlos Correa and Jeremy Peña trained at the same Houston facility the past few offseasons. This winter, they started working together “I told him, ‘This year, you’re going to make the All-Star team and your career is going to take off,’” Correa said - nytimes.com/athletic/6451401…

Athletes are not bodybuilders Athletes are not powerlifters They do not compete at lifts They compete at their sport Stop training them like they ONLY need to get bigger or stronger Train them to be fast, powerful, agile & efficient in movements too

My all-time favorite quote/scripture for S&C coaching is “You can’t be a prophet in your own town.” Parents/Coaches/Athletes rarely think the coach they have is better than the guy down the street or a state away. Their word means more. No matter the results you’ve built.

Training fatigue ≠ training transfer 5-6 lift days a week doesn’t make athletes better. It makes them sore, slow, and overtrained. Recovery is part of the program. Not a break from it.
