Everybody needs to listen to this speech from Tom Brady 🗣️ (via New England Patriots)

Goal for the workout today? Get moving. Not much rhyme or reason to it. Vert Test (31.6in 🤮) 5x2 power clean 1mi run 400m walking lunges Back from vacation and ready to get back to work this week. Go Lions!

Any strength coaches out there know where I can get the Just Jump Mat controller only for sale? Walked into our weight room today and found this. We do vertical testing frequently…

If you’re doing 10 sprints in a 2 minute span, you’re not “speed training.” If you’re doing sets 15 box jumps rapidly you’re not building power If you’re doing “90%,” of your max for 10… no you’re not Things work if applied the right way Rest, move full speed, keep reps low

85s in each hand for 3 reps by this HS sophomore. Lift the weights. That is all.

Jefferson Curls remind me of trying to teach kids how to Barbell RDL for the first time…

In-season lifting is the single most valuable tool in physical development. Ceasing all training when season begins is why your players aren’t physically capable of more year after year.

If I were an un athletic teenager who wanted to get: - Faster - Stronger - More explosive Here is exactly what I’d do in 2025 to make sure I start 2026 as a better athlete:

Myths about strength training: - Can’t lift same day as a practice - Can’t lift after a game - You’ll always be “sore,” the next day - It’ll make you bulky/ruin your mechanics - You should only lift in the off-season - It’s not safe for children If done right, these are false

The science on creatine supplementation is crazy. It - increases muscle strength and power - enhances exercise performance and recovery - boosts lean muscle mass growth - improves cognitive performance and memory - supports brain health and aging - reduces fatigue during

GAMEDAY lifting 👍🏻

‼️‼️‼️

As a high school athlete, don’t take the cheap/harmful way out and take PEDs. You’d be surprised how far quality programming, protein, and 5g of creatine daily will take you. Become educated!

#7... Carterville, 2008, 38-2, Head Coach Brett Diel. Won the State Championship game 13-2. Was dominant the entire season. Pitcher Brittany Ashton finished with a sub ERA of 0.25. This team outscored their opponents 308 to 17 for the season. We are one week away.

Would you look at the absolute HAUL we got from Coach Nick Hill and Saluki Football… I truly cannot believe this box! Thank you to all the SALUKIS for this amazing swag I absolutely love it!!

monster blast

You’re not getting hurt because you “lift.” It’s probably: - The fact that you take no days off & play your sport non stop - Your sport coach beats your brakes off w/ nonstop running & leaves you open to soft tissue injuries - You have piss poor nutrition Ticking time bomb

In-season training isn’t an option for the high performing athlete… It’s a necessity. If you want to dominate in the post season, NEVER STOP TRAINING!🙌🏻💪🏻

Caidence Phillips throws a no-hitter, aiding the Lions' victory and advancement to the state tournament! They will face North Boone on Friday at 3 PM in Peoria!
