Adversity is a gift. We can’t rob kids of it. Everyone wants tough, resilient athletes.
That only comes from facing real challenges, not avoiding them.

- “Coach I ran a 4.41 at the Southern Eastern Elite Mega-Super Camp Combine this weekend” This graphic hangs on my door year round. Especially useful when people are lying to kids on the weekend.
- These 7th grade dudes are coming along well. Finally turned them loose a little bit today. Been at this for about 8 weeks. Development is like a good brisket...it takes time. 🔥🔥🔥
00:00 - Your middle schooler doesn't need "sport specific" training with a private trainer. They need to stop playing that sport year round, eat real food, sleep well, and become a better athlete through strength and speed training.
- Have had these 7th graders 1 day a week during their season now switching over to our development block. Even though it's one day a week it made day one WAY smoother. Hardest movement to teach is the hinge so it gets hit from Day 1. Big complex day.
00:00 - Few weeks ago we realized our kids couldn’t do basic tumbling so we’ve been mixing it into our speed days. Sometimes we set the parameters this rep they chose. The only rule was there had to be 1 Jump, 1 Spin, and 1 Tumble. Not going to the Olympics anytime soon but it’s better.
00:00 - Question for the brainiacs. What do we think is going on? 9 months post ACL, reconstruction, cleared from the doc, RTP for about 3 months, shake only started when we increase her practice volume. It happens on any ISO variation. @WGF1 @MarkHoover71 @TFConsortium
00:00 - Never mind the weights being thrown. SHOES WERE WORN. 👟👟
00:00 - Energy is contagious. The way you show up affects everyone around you—good or bad. @mrafootball brought it this morning! Easy to coach in these environments 🔥🔥🔥
00:00 - Clips from 7th grade work today. Planned, progressive variety, don’t over coach, let their bodies adapt to awkward positions.
00:00 - Few weeks ago, we were trying to get this with loaded weight. Wasn’t as fast as I wanted it so we took it out. 💡moment when @MonteSparkman posted his video. Tried these out with a few guys today. Exactly what I wanted. Social media can be powerful. Appreciate it Coach!
00:00 - After sitting all day, athletes need targeted prep, not just a jog and stretch. Pregame prep matters. Wake up the CNS. Tap into PAP. Move fast. Get ready for the game. And baseball lifting on a gameday 🤯
00:00 - Introduced these today. One of those times where in theory it sounds good but not quite sure how it will go in the session. But the kids crushed it overall 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
00:00 - First time in 11 years I’ve been late for a group. Pay the man and keep it rolling.REAL ACCOUNTABILITY is when the strength coach @Coach_GAdams is late and he has to push “Paula the Prowler”‼️Love it, live it Coach Adams‼️👊🏻💪🏼
