    High school and college sport coaches who test “fitness”. Why bother if you don’t create a solution through intervention. Best players still play regardless of results. Why waste time testing if nothing comes of it? Just practice...you’ll get your answers.

    How is a small gym, that can limit the number of people, control the use of equipment, enforce sanitation practices and require masks/gloves more risky than these phase one businesses? Common sense and risk aversion practices would make opening fairly reasonable. @MassGovernor

    It’s my opinion that people tend to overvalue low impact soft landing plyos or jumps. Now I don’t mean convoluted social media eye candy, but if you’re not progressing to variations that challenge your ability to stop hard and fast, you’re not actually preparing for sport.

    College Internships and Fellowships (many, not all) seem to prioritize motivators and not technicians. I’d much rather a new coach know how to teach than cheer.

    When your “strength training” looks more like dance choreography... I’m out.

    Young coaches should... Do more: - Deep Observation - Skill Acquisition/Practice - Appropriate Experimentation - Review/Analysis Do less: - Mimicking their favorite Social Media Guru Just my opinion.

    Your RSI is great but your average height is 18cm. Metrics need context.

    And now i've seen it all.... - tons of 4.4's and 4.5's called 4.2s - "Laser" starts using the wrong set up - non-lined fields for 40's and Shuttles - today a 4.65 labeled a 4.35 - every rule in the book broken We wanted to run a Pro-Day. But you've ruined it for everyone.

    “squatting puts pressure on your back” makes me cringe. - Massage puts pressure on your back. - Hugs put pressure on your back. “Pressure” can be good. So can compression, torsion, shear, tension. Quantity is the concern.

    More facilities (private, college, pro) are using technology for testing purposes which is great. Unfortunately, I don’t think enough people are using that data. Probably just as important is knowing how to apply an intervention with the results. I’m working on something.

    Deadlifting: basically partial range of motion squatting with a bar in your hands and almost completely concentric. Why is a huge part of the s&c world still so against partial squats. I’ll take them over deads (for most athletes) any day of the week.
