Yes, showing up to train is difficult at first But letting your competition lap you is way worse

It is a lot better to walk alone than with a crowd going in the wrong direction.

Intelligent coaching is strategic. Play the long game 🏆🏆

Parents. Please don’t judge a program by week 1. An intelligent program is easy be design in week 1. Kids that are crippled by the day 1 workout are useless on days 2-4. Training is an art. Trust the process.

Begin with basics, then move to Brilliance with the Basics. Jim Kiritsy said to me, "We do the simple things savagely well!" BOOM! @KSUOwlsStrength

If we want "wins" in practice w/ our players learning + retention we need to teach like the skill is one tree with many roots. The trunk of the tree is the SKILL and the roots are the variations, progressions, and regressions of the one skill. This allows athlete to have context

One of the BIGGEST "Transfers of Training" is building an athlete's self confidence!

Two training effects to keep an eye on: 1. Improved Movement Quality 2. Improved Confidence A lot falls into place once those are established

Respect their time, in addition, parents are usually waiting to pick up the kids on time, so they can drive another kid to another practice!

The temptation for a coach to do a little more, and a little more, versus stopping a practice on time is teaching players a lesson... You're not organized, you can't be trusted, and their time isn't valued by you.

Don't build athletes who become "Strong & Useless". Sprints, Jumps, Throws, Tag Games / Free Play, and more. Build Athleticism.

Athletes do more than lift weights. If your program fails to take the totality of the athlete's experience into account then it will fail.

Sports rarely happen under ideal situations; weather, temps, illness, field conditions, crowds, etc all impact. Train/practice accordingly!

A lot of these heavier lineman, especially high school underclassmen, need more lunges than they do squats. Utilize the lunge as a strength mobility combo exercise. Nothing worse than loading the spine, hips, knees and ankles with poor movement. Sleds, lunges, carries....

What happened to PE? “...only 4 percent of elementary schools, 7 percent of middle schools and 2 percent of high schools have daily PE” yet physical activity is positively correlated to mental wellbeing and academic achievement. @PAAmovewithUS @ACSMNews washingtonpost.com/education…

Perspective | What happened to P.E.? It’s losing ground in our push for academic improvement.

Your young baseball player is going to start strength training They’re weak, skinny & have never trained before They don’t need: - Fancy rotator cuff routines - Batting/pitching mimicked movements They need to get brutally strong, explosive & learn to move well… CONSISTENTLY

You're not just prepping the athlete / team for the game / competition, you are prepping them for the rigors of practices and a full season.

Strength and condition needs to prepare athletes to function well when tired, sore, behind in games, and in stressful situations.

A BIG part of this happens in the off season when the strength coach sees the team more than the sports coach. Sport Coaches should communicate frequently w/ their team to encourage off season team training.

Teams need an identity, a purpose, shared experience, and an ability to depend on each member. Critical for long term success.

When Coaches are so passionate, they say YES to the low paying job in a Multi Million dollar weight room. Be weary of working for places who prioritize investing in "stuff" before people. Heartbreaking and embarrassing at same time.
Brandon Marcello PhD (@bmarcello13) profile pictureBrandon Marcello PhD@bmarcello131 Apr 2022
$34,320 per year. There are full-time strength coaches, athletic trainers, reconditioning specialists, etc., at the college and pro levels who make comparable salaries without overtime and with more qualifications.
