What is my business & why do I have it? After years of wrestling with this, I may have clarity: 1. To steward the gifts God gave me through coaching 2. To generate income to help support God's people – my family & tithing 3. To use the gym as a platform to point people toward God

Would you have a 14year old that sucks at multiplication take a college calculus course? Then why do you think it's appropriate to have a 14year old do the same workout as an elite athlete? Your impatience is not only myopic, it's detrimental.

Becoming elite is a boring, monotonous process. Properly progressed training is boring, shooting 10,000 free throws, taking 10,000 swings off a tee, 10,000 ground balls, all boring. But that's just what it takes to be great.

Buddy Morris once told me, "if you correct 1 thing at a time, you have an 85% success rate. Correct 2 and it immediately drops to 37%. 3? Good fucking luck."

I think more S&C coaches need to swallow their pride and become personal trainers. They'll make more money and be much happier

3 Reasons Why I don't have my athletes Clean or Snatch: 1. They're too complicated. Most athletes don't give a shit about training, they train because they have to. If they don't care, then they don't focus. If one doesn't focus on Olympic Lifts, one WILL get hurt. -->

Stopped loading RFE Split Squat excessively. Too many hip issues. When it's time to load, we go split squat, reverse lunge, belt squat or high handle TBDL

To young coaches: If you asked me when I was 25 after coaching for 4 years, how to get Usain Bolt faster, I’d have an answer. Now? After 17+ years of coaching & 25+ years of training... I don't think I'd know where to start. If you look at the coaches that are revered in the

I implemented a program with a high school football team that resulted in less injuries and faster athletes from the previous year(s). They won a state title. Coincidence? Possibly. Had I implemented the same program with the worst team in the state,

What do we need for another useless fitness video that gets a lot of likes from morons: Stability ball ✅ Chains ✅ Bands ✅ High risk/low reward ✅ All that's missing is a ladder and a bane mask.

Here's @NFL athlete @ccarson_32 , running back for Seattle @Seahawks showing whatever Derrick Henry @KingHenry_2 can do Chris Carson can do better ha ha. Nothing like a little friendly competition between 2 of the best RB's in the league. #workout #fitness #workoutmotivation

I've trained some of the best athletes in the existence of sport, and i'm telling you there is no difference between training them and an avg Joe. They're just people. If you love training, then Train whoever/whenever and enjoy your life. That's why we got into this field, no?

You can get stronger by lifting 75%-85%. But if you run in those zones, you won't get faster.

There are very few original ideas. This is the standard I've used to prep my guys for camp for over 12 years now. 6sec sprints 45sec rest x 5 reps Rest 5min Repeat Build up to 8ish series (40 plays)

I think I understand now why people think 10 years in S&C or personal training is a big deal. Because most coaches/trainers make such little money, they actually HAVE to move on from this profession.
