I need to give a shoutout to the amazing Vanderbilt Athletic Trainers as #NATM comes to an end. From injury prevention to rehabilitation, and everything between, your dedication to keeping our student athletes healthy and in the game is truly inspiring. Thank you for all you do!

If you wait to act until you feel motivated, you may never start. Motivation is a natural byproduct of movement—your discipline and consistency actually create it. When in doubt, just start moving.

“What” is not nearly as valuable as the “why” “how” & “when”. Programs are largely worthless out of context. I literally was just on a podcast this week and explained how I decide programs for individuals. Only reason I didn’t give more depth is bc I wasn’t given 4 hours. 🤷🏻‍♂️ – at Houston, TX
‼️S&C Twitter‼️ What’s your thoughts/opinions about sharing your programs with other strength coaches? Ever since I’ve been in the industry it’s always been like a “top secret” thing depending on the coach, school, facility, etc. Shoot me your opinions‼️

Comprehensive training approaches are the result of cherrypicking the best components of a variety of disciplines. Be leery of anyone claiming to be a disciple of a specific approach; that’s usually a carpenter who only has a hammer, so everything will look like a nail.

This relationship between the ATC and the S&C dept. is often overlooked. Taking the time to create a common language will help the athletes. Communication is key! – at Pigeon Forge, TN

Even talking to the others in the SEC, @StrongBaseball1 @strengthBK37 @brettpriceUA @coachgearheart @CoachPaulC all have a different programs. Before/After. Team/Groups. The list can go on. #context – at Nashville, TN

I have had the opportunity to listen to some very good professionals, thanks to #CoachesVsCovid19. Keep in mind, we are only getting a glimpse of their programs. I hope this time helps us appreciate context. Coaching staff, facilities, nutrition, etc. not created equal. #context – at Nashville, TN
