The longer I coach, the more I realize that the secret to being a great coach isn't designing cutting edge training, it's the ability to repeatedly and consistently avoid doing dumb stuff.

It’s supposed to be beads, not icicles, hanging from balconies in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. Then again 24 degrees is not normal either.

High school athletes: You have the rest of your life to master yoga, train for marathons, compete in CrossFit and look like a body builder. From 13-22, train like an athlete. Your future self will thank you.

Nice to see David Montgomery is willing to sprint in the off season. Many NFL players won’t. Maybe that’s why David is faster now than he was coming out of Iowa State. 🤔 – at Plainfield, IL

Tad Gormley Stadium at City Park in New Orleans home of the 1992 USATF Olympic Trials. Beautiful, historical stadium. Track badly needs resurfacing @pntrack @ILXCTF @

Such a refreshing take from Pelicans rookie Trey Murphy. That's the kind of attitude that leads to success in any walk of life.

The best thing you’ll see @RexChapman
Got a call from my little brother recently. I could tell he was fighting back tears when I answered. “Glenn, I’m going to college.” He just found out he got accepted into a Community College program for students with special needs. Here’s the moment he found out.
This gets to the heart of what Coach Holler has done athletes and Coaches all across the nation. I must say, if you go all in on #FeedTheCats no matter what the sport, you will have the most exciting and rewarding seasons you and your athletes have going forward.
I recently did a 2-day speed clinic for @elite_georgia LAX. They created this 3-minute video. Approaching Speed Training for Lacrosse Athletes | Georgia Tigers Elite LAX 📺 youtu.be/vb6-_rB4AvU

What is “moment arm bias”? How does this help us plan drills, cues, exercise progressions rehab strategies and research projects. @PfaffSC @murdy1989 @HelenvanKempen @ben_rosenblatt @edumias @enda_king @KenClarkSpeed @MickGiakoumis @nickcourt81 @JonAlts @RodWhiteley

"Kids need to sprint at full speed without a ball. They need to wear track spikes. If they aren’t wearing spikes, they aren’t sprinting. Sprints must be timed. Records must be kept. Every sprint must be less than five seconds in length." @pntrack simplifaster.com/articles/ca…
