You are totally replaceable at your coaching job. You are NOT replaceable at home. Remember that perspective when you’re thinking about “balance”.

Engineering Better NFL Athletes 🐊
Joined July 2011
- I’m not an Oly guy, or a Conjugate guy, nor a TriPhasic guy. I consider them all methodology tools in my box to improve athletic performance. Next year I may tell you something different because I’m continuously evolving as a coach.
- “Ex Pro NFL Player” does 🚫 make you qualified to be a S&C coach. 😐
- BEST thing you will listen to all week. Maybe ever. #coachingWhen it comes to work and family, there is no such thing as balance. You balance things that are equal....family and work are not equal.
00:00 - How to succeed in Strength & Conditioning AND life... Develop the courage to be disliked.
- If athletes aren’t showing up on time for training, worrying about their mitochondria isn’t your priority as a coach.
- Me as a young coach: We’re going to start building Speed-Strength with a high dose of strength training, combined with plyometrics and sled work in order to develop the force necessary to push harder into the ground. Me today: How are you feeling? Did you get enough sleep?
- If you’re a S&C coach, you’re going to have to be ok with being incompetent sometimes. Learning is part of growth and incompetence is a necessary step to growth.
- How to be a great coach... Go out and coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach coach.
- How I set up the athletes I work with for sleep success. 1. Lights ⬇️ at 9 2. Set thermostat @ 66-68 degrees 3. 10:30 bed time (most consistent/adhered to bed time that I’ve found) 4. sleep score app - sleep tracker 5. STATE app - breath work 6. Read fiction
- If your presenting at a S&C conference in 2019, here’s what we’d like to see more of. 1. Mistakes and how you overcame them 2. Your testing methodology and why’s 3. How you organize workouts 4. Progressions/regressions of athletes 4. Case studies 5. Your training data
- Track speed may not always transfer to football speed, but the acceleration mechanics learned/developed in track will transfer to anyone who wants to run faster.
- Twitter S&C is the education you never got in school, and it’s all free. Think about all of the things you learned just in the last year and the connections you’ve made. It’s an absolutely incredible resource!!!
