    15+ years as a strength coach. Countless hours helping athletes reach their goals. Now it’s time for a new chapter — helping families achieve their dream of homeownership. I made the leap, put in the work, and passed the NMLS exam, licensed in ME, MA & NH and ready to help.

    Training female athletes is no different then training male athletes, except one thing - many coaches have lower expectations. Don’t be afraid to push female athletes. Don’t be afraid to expect a lot out of them. You’ll be pleasantly surprised how badass and 💪 they’ll become.

    If your core training consists of crunches, sit ups, Russian twists or anything else along those lines, your doing it wrong. Resist motion, don’t create it.

    If an athlete cant perform a proper 1leg linear hurdle hop, 1leg medial/lateral hops and/or 1leg squats in a controlled environment, do we think they’ll be able to throw on the brakes or change direction when they are moving at full speed in a chaotic environment? Probably not.

    After posting the TBDL vs. Skater Squat video a couple days ago I got a bunch of messages asking why the tennis ball❓ It simply forces the athlete to stay in knee flexion, not allowing the athlete to reach back with the back leg, which really cleans up the movement a lot.

    🏒 players commonly have weak hip flexors above 90 degrees. A simple activation drill we use to help with long term hip health/function👇 The 1/2 kneeling set up helps against any compensations (lumbar flexion) & also puts you in a position where all the movement is ⬆️ 90 degrees

    Training for power development doesn’t always have to be fancy or with a barbell in your hand or have some crazy periodization scheme. Sometimes all you need is a few simple pieces of equipment and your body weight.

    There have been a lot of videos floating around the internet showing pro athletes performing some flashy/gimmick-like training Then there is us, Division 1 🏀 /🏒/🏐 athletes, performing ‘real’ training. Nothing flashy or gimmicky at all. Just basic stuff done really well.

    Training for sport isn’t complicated. Jump. Land. Sprint. Lift. Sport specific conditioning. Rinse & repeat.

    Training female athletes is no different then training male athletes. What is different? Many coaches have lower expectations & because of that dont get the results they could. Push and expect a lot out of female athletes. You’ll be pleasantly surprised how 💪 they’ll become.

    Getting into the frontal plane doesn’t start and end with strength work, it applies to conditioning as well.

    Hamstrings and Glutes In sport➡️hip extensors and knee stabilizers, not a knee flexor👇 Train them accordingly and ⬇️ the chance of hamstring issues. More 1-Leg RDL’s, Sled Marching, Slideboard Leg Curls. And maybe most important, more sprinting 💨

    🔷Bear/Lateral Crawls🔷 Benefits ✅Core stability ✅Hits the often neglected serratus anterior ✅Promotes scapular upward rotation Problem ❌Rush & allow low backs/hips to move/drift Solution ➡️external cue that will force an athlete to slow down/maintain control&stability
