First Principles Thinking - focusing on fundamental truths (technique) and allowing for individual expression (style) Technique: mirroring WR steps Style: backpedaling vs shuffling WR options: stem/tempo route- go/out/ in DB emphasis: win leverage, close cushion, mirror route

HIGH FORCE LOW IMPACT Interior combo: Opponent working vertical or cross face From both good and bad positions b/c as Andrew Ryland says "they're on scholarships too (in this case salary)” #FightHumansNotMedBalls

Being able to move and stay athletic agains dynamic outside forces. It’s also really hard to mimic the lifting force in the weightroom

No Fly Zone Chat GameStrat Coach K A2: we will do agility tic-tac-toe, which is always fun. Mike Niklos’s frogger drill and Scott Leech’s pursuit/1-v-1 variations are awesome ways to work on reaction/decision-making. #NFZCHAT

Every exercise or drill in this profession is recycled or stolen. A great coach knows how to progress/regress variables based on the athletes needs & training age, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Loved having you out with our pros & draft prep group! 🤝🏼

"For every sport-specific exercise in your program, you need to balance it with three general activities or support it by raising the system's capacity as a whole. Robustness is not just fluency width and capacity depth, it also requires balance management."

Story time Worked a camp w/ a private skill coach—I was assisting. Before his portion of training (his supposed expertise), he asks me what we should do. I ended up designing all the drills for. That day, I realized there’s a lot of fake it till you make it coaches Buyer beware

Anytime I think I’m on to something I go back and watch this presentation and any other Val Nasedkin ones I can find along with reading some books and articles from a few other coaches that just remind me how much more I can learn youtu.be/wa4RToDLAgk?si…

College programs, I'm begging you: STOP SENDING OUT SUMMER PACKETS! Just encourage kids to keep training with a trusted local resource! You know, like the one they were already training with!
