- Probably one of the biggest problems I’m seeing in HS athletes.
00:00 - Youth sports: Lets play 11 games this weekend! Yeah!! Strength coach: let’s lift twice this week. Youth sports: Nah lifting might be too much.
- If you do not think PE is an important part of your curriculum, ask a group of freshmen to perform some jumping jacks. You might just change your mind.
- After using words like strength and power during an interview with a VB coach I was lectured by said coach that VB is NOT a strength and power sport. I turned down the job and she was fired a year later. Win-win.‘Tis the SZN 🏆🏐 @TexasVolleyball
00:00 - “My kid doesn’t feel “pushed” in the weight room.” Well Karen, you’re kid comes 1x/week, is late and has to be told over and over to tie her shoes and actually give a 💩.
- Everyone wants to lift heavy....until you tell them to load up RDLs.
- We don’t sit between sets. We don’t wear gloves or belts. We do keep our shirts on. We trap bar deadlift and do curls in the squat rack. We Olympic lift and jump and throw stuff, sometimes. Anything else to 💩on? Oh, and we sprint w/out timing them. Merry Xmas S+C Twitter.
- No “explosive lifts”, no jumping, no squatting. Cleared for practice and running. Sincerely, a kids ortho today. Seriously, what are we doing people.
- First day back for girls soccer. I’ve got a weight room full of weights so we’re using them. Never understood why people want to “focus on movement “ with only BW exercises and running. .@RAMSSPORTS .@girls_badin
00:00 - Common issue in the HS setting is balancing between kids/teams that really want to get after it and kids whose parents take them on vacation during the season.
- PSA: I do not design training around the "extra" workouts you're doing that you haven't told anyone (me) about.
- Wonder how many club/summer coaches played in college. If they did, they wouldn’t be telling kids to not lift or do school team activities. People, the highest levels strength train. Year round.
