Youth athletic development is not about doing highly organized serious training programs. It's about getting the kids to have fun and love it so much that they continue to train when the training does get serious. #LTAD If you want to learn how train young athletes to improve skills, have fun and will enjoy training for years down the road, DM me for details on youth athletic development programs and courses. #LTAD
How NOT train young athletes: Mindless sprint drills trying to chase some mystical perfect technical model... How to train young athletes: Games, Tag and it's variations...sprint, stop, start, turn, evade, dodge, close space, create space, make decisions and most importantly have fun! If you want to learn how train young athletes to improve skills, have fun and will enjoy training for years down the road, DM me for details on youth athletic development programs and courses. #LTAD

Sometimes people on here say the most ridiculous, physiologically non-sensical things, with comical degrees of certainty. Still, I have to remind myself...

Advice I got early in my career: Don’t over engage in any controversy unless you are willing to stake your entire reputation on it. Rather, keep focused on discovering new things & creating, or else you become known for the controversy & nothing else; there is no going back.

When asked what high school coaches could do to better prepare athletes for the college level: “I’d like to see coaches teach kids how to lift versus worry about lifting heavy weights and maxing out all the time.” ~@TBecStrength ATTN HS FOOTBALL COACHES

The road to success is filled w/ twists, turns, potholes, & uphill climbs. MOST people stop early in their process because the challenges are too great.. FEW keep their nose down, & their feet moving forward 💯 SUCCESS won't come fast nor easy, but HARD WORK will PAY OFF ✊️

#1 Minimalism - You can do so much with so little. Amazed to see people continue to design training programs based on elaborate facilities and equipment. If you know & understand the basics you don’t need much space or fancy equipment.

A mentor is not someone who walks ahead of us to show us how they did it. A mentor walks alongside us to show us what we can do.
