Your recovery does not get managed in a 5 minute foam rolling session or massage gun purchase. Recovery is optimized through your weekly training volume, nutrition, sleep, stress management, and lifestyle choices. You can’t ‘hack’ your way into it. Do the work.

You’re an athlete. Let’s say you average 2hrs/day of skills practice and performance training (14hrs/wk) That’s 8% of your week. What you do with the other 92% matters.

My goals for when an athlete comes to me for training 1) They improve 2) They genuinely enjoy training 3) They become competent and confident enough to do it on their own someday Everything after this is just bonus material

If you dream of playing a sport collegiately, you’ll find that waking up at 5:30am for training is the easy part. Class. Homework. Practice. GOING TO BED EARLY SO YOU CAN GET UP AND TRAIN… That’s the hard part. Once again, the WINNING is in the preparation. Prepare now.

If your performance program doesn’t focus on some aspect of having FUN, you’re missing the mark. Too often, coaches just want to ‘grind’ their athletes and make them exhausted. Focus on making training enjoyable, and something that athletes look forward to coming back to.

The willingness and love for competition is one of the most desirable traits in training athletes. I don’t care if you’re any good at it. I care that you want to compete and are willing to risk losing. Throw yourself into the arena, and you’ll find your true potential.

Best way to prevent soreness from training? ➡️Never stop training

Wanna know the easiest way to lose out on a full year of training during high school? - Take 1/4 of the year off, every year, while you’re in-season. - 4 years later, you’re a year behind where you could have been. - Keep training.

For developing athletes, atmosphere and energy are every bit as important as programming. Your sets and reps mean nothing if your coaching is dull and monotonous.

Quality > Proximity You’ve got one body and one athletic career. If you want the best training, the ‘easier’ option might not be your best option.

Athlete Training Formula: 1)Sprint 2-3x/wk 2) Jump with intent🐇 3) Lift Heavy/ Lift Fast💪 4) Eat/Sleep/Recover like your career depends on it✅ ➡️Add hard work, consistency, and time, and see your true potential discovered

Every level that you want to elevate your life to, will require a different level of ‘You’ to get you there. - What got you here, won’t get you there. - You must identify the changes that need to take place, and then execute them relentlessly. - No compromises.

Ways to maximize your training in-season: 1) Take care of the big rocks (sprint fast, jump high/far, lift heavy) 2) Minimum effective volume (i.e. do just enough of the above to allow for adaptation, but not enough to elicit soreness) 3) Adequate sleep and calorie intake

In coaching, your knowledge and expertise may help you convince athletes to come train with you, but meeting them where they’re at and truly caring for them will keep them there. Relationships are the beat retention strategy.

Athlete A: Trains 2x/wk all year. In-season, off-season, no matter what Athlete B: Trains 4x/wk for 3 months in pre-season only. Takes 9 months off, then comes back “ready to get back on the grind”. Gimme ‘A’ all day. CONSISTENCY + TIME= RESULTS That’s the real grind.

What gets measured gets managed Consistently tracking your sprints and jumps year round is not only good standard procedure, but a great ‘readiness assessment’ to see where your body is at and what it’s telling you. Know where you’re at so you know where to direct your focus

Athlete Buy-in drives Athlete Results Building relationships drives athlete Buy-in Good coaching involves building good relationships. - If you’re a coach and you want your program to succeed, start asking questions about more than just the X’s and O’s.
