Can people quit saying strength training is dangerous for youth athletes but then think it’s ok to play 6-10 games in a weekend

When deciding to make a change, people go too much too soon Slight changes done for a long time lead to better results than big changes done for a short time If you notice something starting to feel overwhelming, you implanted too many changes at once

Too much variety becomes distraction Be a master of fundamentals while everyone else looks for secrets

In 2025, athletes can gain a huge advantage by simply eating breakfast. Lunch is a big deal too. But start with breakfast

One of the things that have always separated our adult training from others They do things that make them move their feet Jumps Skips Hops Throws Crawls Simple but helps keep people young and feeling athletic

Before you add something to your plate to make a change- think of how you’ll fit it into your routine. Saying you want to work out 3x/week is cool Saying I’m going to work out M/W/F at 6am on my way to work is a plan that has structure

30-60 minutes a day can change your life forever If you can’t find 30 minutes, delete all social media apps from your phone

Our athletes are lifting with lower percentages than ever before Our athletes are also getting the best results we’ve ever had

To make a change, you have to decide you’re worth changing. No one else can control that. There’s a lot of power in that

Many athletes could improve performance simply focusing at the dinner table Not more tournaments, showcases, or lessons I know. Eating a meal at home is wild.

Stop looking for the one special thing a few people do Do the thing that you know you should be doing

For the last 3 years I’ve taught PE at My Place to Be working with kids who have Autism Spectrum Disorder and it’s been one of the best things I’ve ever done This is Damian

People hit their snooze button to start their Monday and wonder why they struggle all week to get stuff done

Yep

Hey A PR to start Friday 150x12

If you’re not willing to acknowledge what you need to give up to hit your goals then be willing to accept that you’ll never achieve it

The older I get, the longer time frame I give myself for everything. Example- if I think a training goal should take 8 weeks to accomplish, I give myself 16 weeks. This works in business also
