College 🏈 coaches can be skeptics when it comes to your bench/squat max and non-verified 40y dash. They are less skeptical of linemen who throw 50+ in the shot or skill guys who run sub 11 in the 100m. Track & Field is a great resource for verified speed & power measurables.

Best offseason for a basketball player: 1. Rest 2. Get stronger 3. Work on speed and agility 4. Play a tons of 1v1 with someone that is going to challenge you. 5. Play another sport.

🚨ATHLETES🚨 It’s still VERY easy to overtrain during the summer In the pursuit of being better so many grind 7 days bc they have “time off” Don’t do this You really only need 4 days of quality structured intense work Plan of out and also ALLOW your body to recover

Your ideal bedtime is between 9-10:30 pm for the majority of people. If you’re a young athlete you’ll want to get to bed by 830 pm. Yes, I’m serious. 9-11 hours of sleep is needed for optimal growth, development, and maturation. Put the phone down and get into bed 845 and you

If you are a 17 YO student athlete wanting to compete at the next level you must be willing to go to bed by 10 pm, wake up 10-min earlier to eat breakfast, and prepare protein and carb dense meals ahead of time to help your body repair and recover following training. Seriously,

“I want guys to run Track in the Spring. It’s hard to manufacture that level of competition. It’s You vs. the Clock. When you get out on the track and compete you’re going to get better.” - Chip Kelly

The foundation of a speed program is timed sprinting. Strength coaches (yes, I am a strength coach) still want it to be about the weightroom. 2nd layer is plyos. Strength is 3rd. That doesn’t mean unimportant, but the hierarchy is the hierarchy. Tony Holler strengthcoach.com/resource/62be7…

Speed is the ultimate barometer of health and readiness. You can grind out a lift when you’re hurt or fatigued. You can grind out conditioning. You cannot grind out a flying 10 or 30. If an athlete’s speed starts to dip, they’re either hurt or fatigued.

🚨ATHLETES🚨 If your sleep cycle sucks, you eat horribly, and you don’t actually actively address your recovery… STOP ASKING ABOUT SUPPLEMENTS OR PRE WORKOUT! Those 3 are the easiest things to take care of without throwing away cash. Get that right first!
